"We're Doing the Best with What We Know" - Gina Urlich

"We're Doing the Best with What We Know" - Gina Urlich

Author: The Hits May 2, 2026 Duration: 31:17

Nutritionist and Odi founder Gina Urlich returns to Slow It Down this week to chat about the new range of baby and kids food she's just released and how they can help you reduce the mental load when it comes to school lunches. 

Plus why the health star rating isn't as helpful as it pretends to be, and how Gina's pervious cancer diagnosis has changed her outlook on her health. 

I'd love to hear how you feel about this episode, and the podcast as a whole. You can find me on Instagram @PJDeeJay

There’s a particular feeling that comes with finding a quiet corner in a loud world, and that’s the space Slow It Down aims to create. Hosted by PJ Harding and presented by The Hits Podcast Network, this weekly podcast arrives every Sunday as an intentional pause. It’s less about adding another task to your list and more about carving out a genuine moment for yourself. You’ll hear thoughtful dialogues that weave together themes of personal well-being, cultural shifts, and practical self-improvement, all with a gentle, reflective tone. The second season continues this mission, offering fresh conversations with a variety of inspiring guests who share insights on living more mindfully. This isn’t a lecture or a rigid guide; it’s a companion for anyone feeling overscheduled and under-connected. Each episode serves as a gentle nudge to step back, breathe, and consider what matters. Tuning into this podcast feels like a small, weekly reset-a chance to unwind your thoughts and reconnect with a calmer perspective amidst the rush of daily life.
