thank you Karen, the ted talk was very important and our children listened to it too… so i hope it will impact the whole family
Thank you beautiful angel 😊
thank you very much for introducing mindful eating to us.
First 5 minutes 30 seconds is a total waste of time. The last two minutes feels like forever and I can boil it down to: 1) Pay attention to the sight, smell, taste and feel of the food as you eat, 2) Chew your food thoroughly, and 3) Eat in silence without TV or noise in the background so you can focus on the experience. I am grateful to this free TED lecture though since fast forward works and I got the 60 seconds of info I needed without having to buy and read a book.
Nothing says "not dieting" like having a very restrictive list of foods that you need to limit to 20% of your food (by calories? Weight? Volume?) then testing Ph levels daily
Lovely! What a radical impact pH has on our body!
Awesome speech. Great inspiration for me to start practice mindful eating. Love it!
I know she was nervous but she did such a great job! Excellent information
So nervous but thank you for your Ted talk@
"It’s not about dieting, its about living." SO POWERFUL. I’ve been dieting the past 3 years and being miserable. I started having an eating disorder. I am now working to free myself from this vicious cycle. This ted talk was so powerful because it is true. We have to enjoy food, experience it, appreciate it and make it a part of ourselves. I will work on that every day now until I overcome my eating disorder.
2 minutes in and I’m weeping!
Not a well composed speech. It lacks congruence. In 7 minutes she jumped from one topic to another… covering three incomplete topics 1. Diet of the boy 2. Body PH levels 3. Mindful eating… The talk is titled mindful eating but the subject pops up randomly in towards the end only.. I was keen to know how she transformed the ADHD boy into a Topper, but that process is missing from the talk. .. Anyways its a good attempt but needs much better structure, composition and preparation.
yes having a balanced PH is important? what is a balanced PH level though??? what is the ideal PH I should be aiming for?
ph is regulated by your body or else you would like, be dead. this is not how bodies work lmao. seriously check wikipedia’s article on "alkaline diets" and stuff, it’s all pseudoscience.
She might have received an unpleasant call before the show, or maybe some memories about her son came up.. people have reasons, but she managed well to go on..
I love "can you see the sunlight in your food?"
Dietary science now knows that regulating body PH through diet is basically BS. Your body has inbuilt systems to regulate itself, it’s has to stay within 7.3-7.45 or else you start dying. Alkaline foods just generally tend to be things like fruits and veggies, which is why it works. But mindful eating is 💯✅
No information on ‘why’ one should check ph. No information on ‘why’ mindful eating. Just a couple of claims.
I had been using this daily for a month before life got busy when I started my teaching semester. I returned as classes are ending and what value I get! I spent over 20 mins eating instead of snarfing down food. It is satiating and satisfying! Thanks! I think the meal actually was 25-30 mins for a small but robust salad 🥗, an egg bite, and a small slice of nine grain bread with about a tbsp of avocado 🥑! Thx. I love this. It’s a kind of habit bundle for food.

Thank you so much. You were so brave and gave me a lot of important information. Eating in silence is a bit difficult to me, but I’ll start doing it.
6:50 – This moment is so touching! Hearing how Scott went from struggling to being in the top 10% nationwide because of healthy eating and care is truly inspiring. 🍎✨ It shows how much love and mindful habits can transform a life. ❤
yes, courageous ❣️🌝🌹
My nephew grew up getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants. All he had to do is cry or throw a tantrum and he got what he wanted. He’s 11 now and guess what he has been diagnosed with?..ADHD!.. more like never been told no disorder!!
Great info. What we put into our bodies impacts our PH levels, our energy and our well being. Thank you Karen!!
I found this very resourceful , keep up! 🙂
she is nervous!
Love the end quote!
Great job!!! Loved this presentation.
Wondermaam
Thank you, You were clearly scared out of your mind and you got up there and presented anyway. You are very brave and I doubt most people criticizing you would have the nerve to stand on that stage themselves. I applaud your courage and appreciate the message. It is so important that people know how powerful food is and how it can change our lives.
Her sister watching this like 😳 lol
What a Sweet Kind Soul🙏👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿🙏💛
I want to hug this woman for some reason
Very good points! Next time you be less nervous. 😉
Very good explanation. I do highly appreciate and agree. Thank you 🙏.
Thanks!😊
Very helpful info.
I hate it when speakers talk about family and when they were kids. This is horrible.
wonderful!
1/3 of your body is hydrogen
Hey Karen! Super proud of you for pulling through even though you were nervous.. happens to the best of us! 🙂
So Fundamental! Thanks Karen for your message…
thank you.
Flexible fasting and mindful eating is KEY for me. The mindful eating part is so imperative.
Nothing about mindful eating until after 5:00 minutes in
difficult to listen to her with that shaking voice
I don’t care how nervous this woman was she did incredible and every single thing she said really helped me. I have a very prominent eating disorder and watching this has really helped with my eating.
😍😍 wonderful 👏
Well done Karen!
