#222: What I Say to a Client Who Discovers They Have an Eating Disorder While Trying to Heal Their Relationship With Food
Rebuilding Trust With Your Body
Eating disorders aren’t always obvious, and they are often overlooked in the intuitive eating space. I’ve seen way too many people feel frustrated that they’re not making progress with intuitive eating - and blame themselves - when the real issue was that there was an underlying eating disorder preventing them from making progress. So how can you tell if you have an eating disorder? And what do I say to a client when I suspect this is what’s happening? I’m going to break all of it down for you in this episode.

Rebuilding Trust With Your Body
In this episode, I’m about to share something that even just 6 months ago I never thought I’d be saying out loud. After 5 years of running live cohorts of my signature program, Non-Diet Academy twice per year - I’m not doing them this year. (If NDA was on your vision board for this year, don’t panic, keep reading…) This doesn’t mean that Non-Diet Academy is going anywhere. I’m absolutely not retiring the program. It works - I have the stats to prove it. Instead, I’m doing it with a completely different structure…One that is going to give you massive results that...

#218: Know Your Numbers (That Actually Matter More Than Weight): Labs That You Should Have Checked If You're In or Near Perimenopause
Rebuilding Trust With Your Body
How many times have you been told that being healthy means being at a certain weight or BMI? The reality is that weight and BMI tell us very little about your health. A much better way to know how healthy your body is are your labs. Whenever I’m working with a client who has health concerns, the first thing we do is gather some data by looking at what their specific health concerns are, and their bloodwork that would give us clues as to how their health is looking. Your weight tells us one thing: Your gravitational pull. Your labs tell us many things: How...

#215: Making Your Life Bigger Than a Number on the Scale - A Pep Talk For You
Rebuilding Trust With Your Body
This episode wasn’t supposed to air. It was me, unfiltered inside of my coaching community, Non-Dieter’s Club, sharing the things that those women needed to hear in moments of self-doubt, defeat, fear and uncertainty on their intuitive eating journey. I came in hot with a pep talk to light a fire under them…To remind them why they went down this path in the first place. And the lies that diet and wellness culture have told us over and over again that make them believe that they are not worthy simply because of the size of their jeans, the rolls on their belly or the flab on their...

#214: Getting Them On Board: What to Do If Your Family Doesn't Understand or Support Intuitive Eating
Rebuilding Trust With Your Body
In today’s “Dear Abby” style episode, I’m answering a question about what to do if your family or friends aren’t supportive of your intuitive eating process…whether it be because they don’t get it, they’re a skeptic, or they blatantly disagree with the non-diet approach. A member of my community shared that she’s enjoying her new found food freedom with baking this holiday season - and her boyfriend isn’t thrilled. He’s still dieting, and she’s worried about sabotaging him. Can you relate? Tune in to hear what advice I’m giving her (and YOU) about how to...

Rebuilding Trust With Your Body
If you feel like you know intuitive eating makes sense…but you still catch yourself thinking like a dieter, especially this time of year, this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. Diet culture mindset traps are sneaky, subtle, and so automatic that you may not even realize they’re stealing your peace with food and your confidence in your body. In this episode, I’m breaking down 5 of the most common mindset traps that keep women stuck in guilt, shame, body obsession, and all-or-none thinking - especially during the holiday season.

info_outlineFind yourself doing well with your eating during the week, only to end up bingeing on the weekends? Here’s the fix.
Let’s face it, whether you’re on a diet, or you’ve been doing intuitive eating (or you’re somewhere in between), weekends are harder with food. There are social events, dinners out, cocktails, tailgates, bridal showers, your kids’ sporting events, and so many things that can throw you off your normal eating routine…and lead to a binge…on the weekends.
In this episode, I’m giving you real, simple, and doable ways to stop the weekend binges, so that your weekend eating can be enjoyable, balanced and easy.
These aren’t going to be time-consuming things like meal prepping or journaling a novel. Instead, they’re mental reframes, anchor points, and strategies that will keep you connected with your body (rather than off the rails with food).
I also talk about something that might sound counter-intuitive…why menu planning for your entire week at a time might just be the most powerful way to cut down on the weekend binges, allow yourself to eat all the foods you love (not just on the weekend but during the week as well), and to still include things like veggies, fiber and protein on the weekends so that your body is getting the consistent nourishment it needs.
(And trust me, you’re still going to be able to enjoy weekends full of dinners out with your girlfriends, cake at weddings, brunch, and your favorite adult beverages - without guilt, and without going overboard.)
