Easy Ways to Be Strong When Life Gets Tough! Artwork

The Nutritional Nerd

My name is Kelly Aiello, and I’m a registered holistic nutritionist (RHN) and Brain Health Coach. I created the Nutritional Nerd podcast as a place to connect with people who are looking to live a happier, healthier life. I want to give you the tools you need to unlock your full potential and to live the kind of life you have always imagined. When it comes to nutrition, there is a lot of conflicting information. It seems like every week there's a new study and a new fad diet that seem to contradict the news from last week. The truth is everyone is different and biochemically unique. As such, your body has different needs. It also means there is not a single one-size-fits-all diet for everyone. Together we'll cut through all the hype and learn what your eating habits should look like to get you whole food optimized.

Life doesn't always go as planned. When everything falls apart—your relationships, finances, health—how do you begin again?

In this deeply moving interview, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Nezneski, integrative medicine expert and author of Grounded in Chaos, to explore how adversity can become a powerful path to transformation. After losing nearly everything—her home, savings, and marriage—Dr. Nesneski chose healing over despair. Her story is raw, real, and ultimately uplifting.

👉 We discuss:

How to listen to your body before it’s too late

The role of mindfulness, meditation, Reiki, and journaling in recovery

Why asking for help is essential (especially for the independent-minded)

The healing power of routine, nature, and community

What it truly means to be grounded in chaotic times

Her experience is a guide for anyone navigating loss, burnout, or life-altering transitions. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck in survival mode, this conversation offers hope, tools, and the gentle reminder that you are not alone.

📘 About the book: Grounded in Chaos is part memoir, part manual for healing, filled with humor, heart, and holistic wisdom. It’s a must-read for anyone ready to rebuild from the inside out.

✨ Watch, reflect, and start your own journey toward healing.
