Research consistently shows that people who prepare meals at home tend to have higher diet quality — including greater fruit and vegetable intake, more fiber, and less added sugar and processed food. One large study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found that more frequent home cooking was associated with better overall diet quality and healthier eating patterns.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about positioning.

When nourishing food is washed, chopped, cooked, or even just loosely planned, the healthiest choice becomes the easiest choice.

A little preparation today can support better decisions all week long.

Mindful eating isn’t about restriction — it’s about relationship.

In a world that encourages rushing, multitasking, and eating on autopilot, slowing down can feel radical. But when we pause, breathe, and truly taste our food, digestion improves, satisfaction increases, and cravings often soften.

Mindfulness invites us to notice hunger cues, fullness signals, textures, flavors, and even emotions around food. It gently shifts the focus from “How much did I eat?” to “How did that feel?”

This week, choose just one of these practices and try it at one meal a day. Small awareness creates powerful change.

If you haven’t listened to this week’s Health Gig episode yet, it’s one worth pressing play on.

In our conversation with Brian Turner, host of The Brian Turner Show, we explore a question that feels more relevant than ever: what truly defines a wealthy life?

Beyond financial metrics, Brian shares insights from the many conversations he’s had with leaders, thinkers, and changemakers about the deeper dimensions of wealth — purpose, wellbeing, relationships, and the stories we carry about money.

It’s a thoughtful dialogue that invites us to expand how we think about success and consider the ways health, meaning, and financial wellbeing are deeply connected.

Tune in to this week’s episode of Health Gig and join the conversation.

What does it really mean to live a wealthy life?

In this episode of Health Gig, we sit down with Brian Turner, host of The Brian Turner Show, to explore the intersection of personal health and financial wellbeing. Through conversations with his guests, Brian has uncovered a powerful truth: wealth is about far more than numbers on a balance sheet.

Together we discuss the deeper, qualitative markers of a rich life — purpose, wellbeing, relationships, and the stories we carry about money and success. Because how we think about wealth often shapes how we live, how we care for ourselves, and how we show up in the world.

This thoughtful conversation invites us to expand the definition of wealth and consider what truly creates a life of abundance.

Doro and Tricia love a great smoothie recipe and these are straight from our kitchens to yours 🤍

Keeping a few smoothie staples on hand has become one of our favorite “real life” wellness habits. Frozen berries, leafy greens, a good protein, healthy fats — when they’re in the fridge and freezer, nourishment is just a blender away.

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that influence digestion, immunity, mood, and inflammation. What you eat directly shapes this internal ecosystem. Here are five simple foods that help it thrive:

Yogurt (with live cultures)
Provides beneficial probiotics that support microbial balance.

Sauerkraut or Kimchi
Fermented foods introduce diverse, gut-friendly bacteria.

Garlic
Rich in prebiotic fibers that feed good microbes.

Oats
Contain beta-glucan fiber that supports healthy digestion and microbial diversity.

Lentils
High in plant fiber that fuels beneficial bacteria and promotes short-chain fatty acid production.

Small daily choices can make a meaningful difference in your gut health.

Movement is medicine.

Not because it burns calories.
Not because it changes how you look.
But because it nourishes every system in your body.

When you move:
• Your cardiovascular system grows stronger, improving circulation and oxygen delivery.
• Your lymphatic system flows more efficiently, supporting detoxification and immune health.
• Your musculoskeletal system maintains strength, mobility, and bone density.
• Your nervous system regulates stress, increasing resilience and boosting mood through endorphins and neurotransmitters like serotonin.
• Your metabolic system becomes more insulin-sensitive, supporting steady energy and blood sugar balance.
• Even your brain benefits — movement is linked to improved memory, focus, and long-term cognitive health.

Studies on self-affirmation and positive self-reflection (including work by Dr. Claude Steele and later neuroimaging research) show that reflecting on personal strengths activates the brain’s reward centers and can reduce stress responses. Other research in positive psychology has found that gratitude and strengths-based reflection are associated with improved mood, greater resilience, and even better health behaviors over time.

When you acknowledge your growth, your effort, your character — you reinforce neural pathways tied to confidence and emotional regulation. You remind your nervous system that you are capable and supported.

On recent episodes of Health Gig, we’ve had the privilege of sitting in conversation with many extraordinary women — each bringing her own lived experience, research, insight, and heart to the mic.
From science to self-compassion…
From leadership to longevity…
From nervous system regulation to purpose and meaning…

These conversations remind us that women’s wisdom is layered. It is intuitive and evidence-based. It is resilient and deeply relational. It honors both strength and softness.

When women share their stories, we don’t just learn — we remember. We remember our capacity. Our voice. Our interconnectedness.

Our Story

Doro and Patricia founded the wellness company BB&R, Bright, Bold and Real, over a decade and a half ago, with a very clear goal: to share and potentiate the pioneers of mindfulness and holistic thinking.

BB&R created the Achieving Optimal Health Conference, which is an annual conference that helps people discover mind body techniques to improve their physical and spiritual health. Georgetown University’s GU Wellness partnered with BB&R nine years ago to create what has become the premier health conference of its kind in the country. With the support of so many in the community the Achieving Optimal Health Conference has grown exponentially from being a conference to a movement!

BB&R has produced meditation seminars, blog posts and CD’s. Doro speaks around the country on how mindfulness and breathing can positively impact our lives.

The popular BB&R REBOOT Nutrition program was created to help all of us realize that it is in our power to create a life we love. Countless people have benefited from this program. If you are ready for a REBOOT and want to reach your optimal state of balance and brilliance, jump in.
