Hi, I’m Jean Tillery, Certified Dream Manager and founder of Epic Living with Jean, and I believe it’s all about the story. Every one of us is living a story. Some chapters we planned. Others we never saw coming. There are dreams we’ve chased, dreams we’ve forgotten, challenges that changed us, people who shaped us, and moments when life took us somewhere completely unexpected. That’s what #epicStories: Stories of Dreams, Detours, and What Comes Next is all about. Through inspiring stories, honest conversations, and personal reflections, we’ll explore the moments that shape who we are and who we’re becoming—from pursuing big dreams and navigating unexpected life transitions to overcoming challenges, finding purpose, and figuring out what comes next. Sometimes I’ll share a story from my own life. Sometimes I’ll sit down with someone whose story I think you need to hear. Some stories will inspire you. Some might challenge you. Some may make you laugh or cry. And some may help you see your own story—and what might still be possible—in a completely new way. Because sometimes hearing someone else’s story is exa…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-10T16:18:20.856098+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/epic-stories-6367889"},"episode":{"title":"What Are You Feeding Your Future?

This week on Epic Stories , I sit down with Annette King, an inspiring registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator. Together, we dive deep into how our health is truly the foundation for making any of our dreams a reality. In a world overflowing with diets, trends, and quick fixes, Annette King brings clarity, balance, and kindness to the conversation about food and self-care. In this episode, we move beyond shame and perfection, focusing instead on progress, simple education, and practical changes. Whether you’re worried about your energy, tackling diabetes, or just trying to eat better in a fast-paced world, this conversation is for you. What I Learned (and You Will Too): Your health underpins every dream you want to realize —no matter your goals, your body is the vehicle to get you there (00:54). The real difference between a registered dietitian and a nutritionist—and why choosing an expert like Annette King actually matters (05:05). Why our society is losing its connection to home-cooking, and how easy convenience foods are impacting our health (12:16). How to cut through the noise of conflicting nutrition messages and find what truly works (15:18). The rising tide of diabetes—especially in younger adults—and why prevention starts now (30:06). How carbs, protein, and fats all play an important role (and yes, you can stop fearing carbs!) (32:23). A balanced, stigma-free conversation about GLP1 weight loss medications—including who benefits, what the risks are, and when to seek support (43:44). Two ridiculously simple nutrition habits you can start TODAY for real change (01:02:42). Why choosing progress over perfection is always the best strategy—and how every meal offers a new chance to ca…","meta_description":"Do you have big dreams—but wonder if your body can carry you there?
