Full shownotes, transcript, and resources here: https://soundbitesrd.com/3 14 Resetting the Rules of Indulgence We often think of food choices as an all-or-nothing equation: healthy eating requires effort and discipline, while treats feel like guilty pleasures or even cheating. But what if treating yourself could actually support your health goals? Today we're talking with food anthropologist Kevin Ryan about restorative treats and the rise of functional foods that go beyond indulgence. We'll explore how new rituals can help us reset habits, rethink the way we define treats, and discover that feeling good may not come from permission to indulge – it may come from giving ourselves the fuel to feel better.
