Are you someone who thinks of eating and cooking as a chore, just another thing to do on your lengthy chore list? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! On this episode of Reawaken Right Relationship podcast, guest Jenny Mahan tells how to turn cooking and eating from a chore to a joyful experience. Jenny is a Registered Nurse, Certified Health and Wellness coach and owner of Pine Creek Wellness. She works with folks who have had a health wake up call to reclaim their health with Lifestyle Medicine, and facilitates online and in person healthy home cooking classes, group or one to one coaching to support folks to reach their health and life goals

She is a Mom, author, avid gardener, and singer/songwriter who is passionate about promoting local sustainable agriculture and food justice. 

DisclaimerEveryone is unique, has different health conditions, allergies, needs. Do what's right and works for you. Jenny does not advocate nor prescribe any specific diets or foods for health conditions. She DOES advocate simplifying our relationship with food— eating real, minimally processed food that is satisfying and nutritious, using common sense, moderation, and improved skills. If you have a chronic health condition or are making big changes in your diet or activities, it is always a good idea to talk with your health care advocate and/or dietician to start.
