NMLP EP 152 : Weight Stigmas

NMLP EP 152 : Weight Stigmas
Weight stigmas According to many health professionals (ahmmm doctors!) If you're in a bigger body- all your health problems are because of your weight. If you're in a bigger body- you must be gorging yourself with food all day long. If you're in a thin body- you are either underweight and need to gain or you can't have certain health conditions because you're in a small body and those health conditions only happen in bigger bodies. As a dietitian I'm sick of it! I'm sick and tired of hearing doctors tell my patients to fast for 2 days each week or to do the keto diet etc.. I'm sick and tired of doctors blaming everything on weight for some people and ignoring health concerns of others. Doctors, physician assistants, nurse practioners, and other health providers- do better! On today's episode of the Nutrition's My Life Podcast, I'm sharing with you my experience as a dietitian- what I hear while on sessions and better ways to speak to our patients. This is me talking to doctors.... Have you ever thought of asking your patient: 1.Does your body allow you to do all the things you want it to? 2. How do you feel about your body (optional: when you look in the mirror?) 3. Where do you see yourself 6-12 months from now if you continue your current eating habits? 4. How much sleep do you get every night? 5. Do you feel rested upon waking up? 6. Do you wake up in the middle of the night (questions 4-6 need to be asked becuase we know that sleep apnea or insomnia etc can mess with our hormones [like our hunger and fullness hormones], can mess with our digestion etc) 7. Do you poop every day? (if someone isn't pooping daily, it's a good indicator they've either inadvertently messed up their metabolism or not eating enough fiber rich foods) 8. Are you skipping any meals? (many times people that skip meals have slowed down their metabolism) If you're a patient and a doctor is not giving you the advice you're looking for or needing for your nutrition or health- please ask for a dietitian referral OR if you're a provider, please refer your patients to a dietitian. Today's episode is 40 minutes long- I did get fired up about this topic and I know you will too!

NMLP EP 151 : Protein Needs

NMLP EP 151 : Protein Needs
When trying to lose weight, building muscle mass, or generally trying to be healthier... all you hear is PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN. Butttttt How much protein should we be eating each day? If you talk to a personal trainer or an avid gym goer, you might think 1g/pound of body weight. Well the recommended daily allowance or RDA for most adults is 0.8g/kg of body weight. To get your weight into kilograms/kg you need to divide weight in pounds by 2.2. This could look like a 180lb individual divided by 2.2 = ~82kg. This could be either 180g of protein to try to eat (wowzas) OR aim for at least 65g protein (phew that's easier). Now, do I frequently recommend 1g/kg of body weight!? YESSS!!! So in that example I just gave, that's 82g protein a day! Still a lot easier to achieve than 180g protein a day. PLUS veggies, whole graine, legumes/beans, nuts/seeds also contain protein. So ADD to your meal :) To learn more or work with Nicole, visit References:

NMLP EP 149 : Carbs

NMLP EP 149 : Carbs
The topic of carbs (carbohydrates) have been in the conversation of half my patients lately and it was time for me to help you out again with understanding carbs and why we need them.. Are you on a weight loss journey? > you need carbs for T4 to T3 conversion (T3 is the active thyroid hormone and without adequate carbs, your best chance of having a metabolism you want is taken away from you as the body does not want to convert T4 to T3 when there are not enough carbs present) Constantly exhausted? > you may be only filling up your gas tank a quarter of the way and expecting your vehichle to get you everywhere you want...all day long! Doesn't work like that. Your bod needs carbs for energy, if you're doing low carb or skipping meals, you may be simply not "putting in enough energy into your energy tank" causing you to be exhausted all day! Wake up at 2-4am consistently? > could be you're not enough enough carbs throughout the day and the body is smart- it will release stored blood sugar in your liver and muscles, glycogen, so you have energy to do all the things you needs to do while sleeping (like breath, your kidneys to function, heart to beat... etc). Your body, on average, needs 1200 calories a day for your organs to function properly. If they're not getting what they need, your body will take care of you and wake you up by releasing cortisol, which then will release glycogen into your bloodstream.

NMLP EP 148 : Life is not a highlight reel
Do you ever look at people on social media and think, "my life is crappy compared to them" Have you ever felt "less than" because you felt like you couldn't compare to someone else. Today I'm sharing all the crappy things I've gone through to help you understand that, even a dietitian is not perfect. Even a dietitian who eats well, is not perfect. Even a health professional who has done it all, still has issues. I had to take some time off of work recently due to complications from surgery due to a new diagnosis I received last year. Ehlers Danlos Syndrome has wrecked my life since I was young, I just didn't know it and one thing you can count on me is to be real and open with you.

NMLP EP 147 : Gluten
Have you thought about going gluten free or maybe you are following a gluten free diet and don't know if it's the best option for you. Today on the Nutrition's My Life Podcast I'm helping you understand why you may or may not need to be going gluten free if you have a thyroid disorder or autoimmune disorder. We review some literature together, talk about why some people may feel better coming off gluten, and ways to improve your health without going gluten free (for those that do not have celiac disease). Removing food from your diet may not be the best answer for so many people because they're already not meeting their nutrient demands, that taking foods aways is just feeding into the narrative of "the reason your body is doing all the crazy things it's doing is because you're eating too many harmful things".... when in reality, many people are lacking in key nutrients and their bodies just want them to be fed more nutrient dense foods!! And if that means there's less stress around eating because now you're able to have foods/meals with gluten in it, then let's do that!

NMLP EP 145 : Overcoming self sabotage
Have you ever gotten really frustrated at yourself for screwing up your diet or felt like because you haven't worked out in a long time you're lazy AF?! If you have, you're not alone. In today's episode of the Nutritio's My Life Podcast, I'm helping you understand why we self sabotage and hacks for overcoming this mindset. Because... enjoying the 3 slices of pieces of pizza at your nieces party or the cake does not make you a failure. It makes you human! We are social beings and eating a meal with family/friends is a crucial part of society and our health. And having one meal that's not "healthy" is not going to make or break your "diet". What I typically notice is that in these situations, we need to work on our relationship with foods and ourselves to overcome self sabotage. This is what I'm helping you with today!

Summer is around the corner, which means many of my patients are asking me.... "How can I drop the pounds fast?" Over the last few weeks I've heard: + I want to slim down for my cruise in July + we're going on vacation, I'd like to lose some weight + we're headed to beach in a few weeks, how much weight do you think I'll be able to lose? + I'd like to lose 1-2lbs a week + My friends are taking Octavia and dropping weight fast, do you think that's something for me? + my husband is doing keto and has lost a ton of weight already but keto messed up my digestion, so don't think I can try that again I am totally down for you to lose weight but want to make sure you're doing it in a way that your body will appreciate and want you to keep the weight off long term. Quick fix diets aren't sustainable, which is why most people yoyo diet or hop around to different diets (I mean, think about how many have you tried).

NMLP EP 141 : Slow digestion reasons and digestion improvement hacks (part one)
The poop whisperer is here to help... lol. I recently shared that went a little crazy because so many people are struggling with a slow digestion. The movement capability of the digestive tract is called motility and I see many people in my practice with a slow motility. This can cause: + more bloating + constipation or diarrhea + discomfort + make you not hungry (which then makes it hard for you to meet your nutrient demands) On this episode of the Nutrition's My Life Podcast, I'm helping you understand where your slow motility could have resulted from and some action steps to start improving your digestion. This is going to be a 2 part series, so stay tuned for more information on how to improve your gut motility.

NMLP EP 137 : Weight Loss Medications- Part Two
Weight loss medications - Part two Last episode we talked about weight loss medications and their mechanism of action- plus whom they're starting to target these medications towards. Part two to this topic, weight loss medications, is all about understading the population that is using them and how their bodies work. And how to achieve weight loss for these different health conditions. For example, people with hypothyroidism or Hashimotos thyroiditis tend to have a slower and sluggish digestive tract. The weight loss medications cause a slower digestive tract, which could result in constipation, bloating, and dysbiosis (or bad bacteria in digestive tract). These medications have their time and place. These medications can be a life saver for some but my concern is that they're being overprecribed and also, are intended to be taken for life. As studies show that once off the medication, you'll gain 2/3rds of your body weight back. Also, there are no long term studies- so what happens at year 5 or 10? These are just my thoughts and perspective of being a thyroid and metabolism expert. To learn more about your metabolism, check out my book- You can always visit my website, for more information or to work with me too!

NMLP EP 136 : Weight Loss Medication - A dietitian's perspective (Part One)
Have you seen the new medications for weight loss? Are you curious about it? Many people do see a lot of weight loss on them but did you know that once you come off of them, you will likely gain 2/3rd of the weight back you just lost? Similar to how when you stop dieting, you gain it back. Why does this happen? Weight gain happens because healthy habits were not established, the relationship with food did not improve, and nutritional needs were not met. On today's episode of the Nutrition's My Life Podcast, I'm reviewing a bit about what these medications do inside the body, the crazy recommendations for using these medications in children, and will follow up with a part two episode next week. I'm not anti-medication by any means. There is a time and place for these weight loss meds however it's the over prescribing and first go to for many providers, after their advice of "eat less, move more" doesn't work.

Do you skip breakfast often or maybe not enough throughout the day? This week at Nutrition's My Life I'm helping you understand what could be causing your bloating, digestive issues, slowing down your metabolism, or even be contributing to hormonal issues? If you're skipping meals or undereating you could be: 1. Decreasing your pancreatic enzymes causing you to be more bloated and even malabsorb your food 2. Decrease peristalsis (aka slow down your digestive tract) and can contribute to an increase in the bad bacteria (dysbiosis). 3. Lowering your BMR (basal metabolic rate) 4. Decreasing your nutritional intake and makes it harder to meet your nutrient demands 5. Increases blood sugar dysregulation 6. Increases risk of hormonal imbalances.

This is because those that have hashimoto's have fought so hard for so many years. There body is so exhausted, achy at times, and for many result in digestive and weight problems.

Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale. These are a part of your cruciferous vegetables and they contain a chemical compound that has been extensively studied to be: + Antioxidant + Anti-cancer + Anti-Inflammatory + Anti-Aging + Anti-Microbial +Neuroprotective Pretty amazing right? The cruciferous vegetables contain the precursor for this amazing compound- so eating these foods more often can be beneficial and no, they're not going to have a negative affect on your thyroid (unless you're eating more than 5lbs of broccoli!) For questions or to work with Nicole, email [email protected] References: + Antioxidant: (Fahey & Talalay, 1999) + Anti-cancer: (Amjad et al, 2015) + Anti-Inflammatory: (Greaney et al, 2016) + Anti-Aging: (Sikdar et al, 2016) + Anti-Microbial: (Johansson et al, 2008) +Neuroprotective: (Tarozzi et al, 2013)

NMLP EP 124: Thyroid supporting nutrients you NEED to be aware of
If you have a thyroid disorder, you might have heard/seen that you should eat sea moss or seaweed. However, could these iodine containing foods and/or supplements be part of the reason your thyroid is so off? The answer is- it very could be. Over the last few months, I've seen an increase in women taking iodine containing thyroid supplements, iodine containing multivitamins, and including more iodine rich foods. I've seen people lose their appetite and just not hungry to eat because they're not eating enough zinc rich foods. Our bodies like a good balance of certain vitamins/minerals and when they get off (too much or too little), it can negatively impact thyroid hormones. In today's episode at Nutrition's My Life, I'm helping you with 3 key thyroid supporting nutrients. 1. Tyrosine 2. Iodine 3. Zinc If you'd like to learn more about how to improve your thyroid's health and overall health, join me August 6th 2022 for a Thyroid Workshop. The Healthy Thyroid Guidance Workshop is open for enrollment - learn more

NMLP EP 123 : Gut Health 101
Digestive health. We all poop. Some of us poop a lot, some a little, and some people have difficulties. If your digestion is off- you may not be absorbing your nutrition properly and may have more anxiety/depression/weight/inflammation etc.. Your digestive tract does a lot for you but when it's off... sheesh- it's uncomfortable and an annoyance. This week at Nutrition's My Life- I'm helping you improve your digestion by bringing you back to basics. We're not going to be doing crazy detoxes and enemas (seriously- please don't). We WILL be simplifying how to improve your digestion!! If you're enjoying today's show- please let me know by tagging me in a social media post! I'd love to see it and this will help others learn too! :) @nutritionsmylife If you have a thyroid disorder and digestion is off- the thyroid needs to be tackled at the same time as your digestion. Check out my book, e, for further guidance.
