More Than What You Eat
Negative body image moments can feel like they ‘come out of nowhere’ and suck the joy out of your day. And if your body image is chronically bad, it can be even a week, month, year, or lifetime. I’m going to let you in on a secret, these bad body image moments can also happen even when you've healed your body image! In fact, not too long ago, I experienced one of the worst body image moments I’ve had in a really really long time, probably even years!

Ep 123 What EVERYONE Must Know About Ozempic and GLP-1s with Kelli Yarn, RDN
More Than What You Eat
You’ve heard about ozempic, mounjaro, zepbound, and other GLP-1s for weight loss. But do you really know what they are doing to your body and the risks involved? Too many people are prescribed weight loss medication without informed consent. Meaning, they are given zero education on what these drugs actually do to the body, the risks involved, or what to do to manage and mitigate such risks. While I personally don’t endorse intentional pursuits of weight loss, I’m all for body autonomy. It’s your choice what to do with your body and I don't believe in judging others for...

info_outlineDo you feel like you are ‘good’ all week, even month, and then your period comes along and RUINS it all with intense cravings that send you spiraling into a binge and shame fest?
One thing I WISH I knew years ago was that period cravings are NORMAL.
It's so sad that as women diet culture conditions us to believe that all we need is more "willpower" to beat period cravings.. or to eat some frozen grapes instead??? (um, how are we even comparing grapes to a big ol' bowl of trix? Do ya think my taste buds are dumb?!).
It is this exact mindset that causes the period binges, {first_name}!
Now, while period cravings are normal, and you’ll understand WHY in this podcast episode… Binges are not.
When you understand WHY you have cravings and how to honor them so that you don't spiral into chaotic eating and feeling even worse than you already are (periods are not fun to begin with!).. it is so empowering to then give your body what it needs without guilt or fear.
Which is why I'm excited to bring back one of the most popular episodes on the podcast (and one of my personal favorite interview!!) with hormone specialist and Registered Dietitian Amanda Montalvo.
In this episode we cover:
-
understanding your hormonal changes at every part of your period cycle
-
WHY you have cravings, specifically carbs (yes, there is a physiological REASON)
-
how to identify a hormonal imbalance (what's normal and what's not) and what to do about it
-
Reasons you are binge eating on your period (it's not because of your period) and how to break free of this cycle
