What if eating just a little less could help you feel better, digest more comfortably, and support healthy aging?

In this episode of Wishing You Well, Maria Patrick, Health Coach, explores the Japanese Okinawan principle Hara Hachi Bu—the practice of eating until you’re about 80% full rather than completely stuffed.

Maria shares how this simple approach can encourage mindful eating, better portion awareness, digestive wellness, comfortable energy levels, and a healthier relationship with food. She also explores how Hara Hachi Bu connects with the Traditional Chinese Medicine principle of protecting your digestion and why knowing when to say “I’ve had enough” may be one of the simplest wellness habits you can adopt.

Discover how to put the 80% rule into practice at your next meal—and why “enough” might actually be the secret to feeling your best.

Listen, slow down, tune in to your body, and Wishing You Well!
