Episode 472: Good, Better, Best with Brenda Bennett

Author: Ali Miller RD December 8, 2025 Duration: 1:05:10
In this episode, we sit down with Brenda Bennett, food blogger, coach, author of Good, Better, Best, recent graduate of the Naturally Nourished Academy, and long-time ambassador of the Naturally Nourished supplement line. Brenda shares her personal health journey and how ditching sugar radically changed her life and inspired her to help others do the same. We dive into the deeper layers of emotional eating, “filling the void,” and finding sustainable balance, along with practical, real-world hacks for the holidays, dining out, and staying grounded when food is everywhere. We also unpack Brenda’s experience inside the Naturally Nourished Academy—how the mentorship sharpened her clinical lens, strengthened her confidence, and helped her bridge the gap between passion and practice. If you’re a health coach, registered dietitian, medical professional, or someone deeply passionate about food as medicine and ready to take your knowledge to the next level, this episode is for you.
