#126: What I'd Say to a Client If They're Not Making Progress
In this episode I am going to share exactly what I’d say to a client if they aren’t making progress. There's so much to unpack here because making peace with food is HARD, no doubt about it, and if you are feeling stuck, it’s easy to get discouraged and want to give up. But I’m not going to let that happen for you. I will be sharing the 4 things that I would say to a client if they’re not making progress - that you can apply to your own journey.

#125: How to Navigate Your Next Vacation With Food and Body Image: 4 Lessons I Recently Learned
In today’s episode, you’re going to learn 4 pieces of advice that will help you navigate your next trip or vacation when it comes to eating before, during and after traveling. We are also going to talk about how to deal with body image, your fear of being in photos, and those nagging thoughts about “needing” to lose weight before a vacation. I’m going to share the lessons that I recently learned on my family spring break trip, and I’ve translated it into tips and strategies that you can apply for your next vacation. These are 4 lessons that are going to help you: Let go of feeling the pressure or desire to diet leading up to a trip. You don’t have to shrink your body in order to deserve a vacation. Have strategies with food before, during and after you travel to make it easier on your digestive system, your wallet and your stress levels. Enjoy food as part of traveling, without it becoming a nonstop party with food that leaves you feeling bloated, miserable and out of control. Embrace the photos taken on vacation as images capturing memories of you out there living your life fully (rather than a reason for you to zoom in on pictures with you in them and pick yourself apart). If you have been procrastinating on booking a trip, are too ashamed to be seen in a swimsuit, or you just need a reminder that you deserve to live life fully, then this is the episode for you. And if you know someone who has a hard time with food and body image when they travel, send them this episode and let me give them the support and guidance they need.

If you have said peace out to dieting, but you’re still stressed and anxious about your weight, then you’re in the right place. In this episode, I’m covering what to do if you are worried about gaining weight, and you’re worried about your health…because we both know that dieting isn’t the answer. We’ll also be talking about the reasons you might be stuck in what I call “No Man’s Land” where you’re not really dieting, but you’re not fully eating intuitively either. Plus I’m breaking down 2 case studies that I’ve never shared before about clients who were able to tackle their fears around weight and how they got to a place of peace with their bodies while ditching diets for good.

You’ll hear: How diet culture has co-opted protein as the current weight loss trend What protein is, why your body needs it, and how it’s digested (so you can use this knowledge to apply gentle nutrition to your eating) How to tell how much protein your body needs Ways to get in enough protein without tracking or measuring How to approach protein within your intuitive eating journey I’ll also be addressing the “protein leverage theory” and how you can be intentional about protein, without being obsessive or diet-y about it.

Today on the show I am joined by Serena Marie, a fellow non-diet dietitian, AND she’s also a sports dietitian, so she has this really cool perspective on how we can combine the world of exercise with food freedom and intuitive eating and it’s SO REFRESHING! You’re going to hear us talk about how common it is for people who are active to under fuel their bodies, and how this ends up backfiring. Serena’s focus in her work is primarily around running, so you’ll hear us referencing running a lot throughout this discussion, but even if you’re not a runner or you aren’t currently exercising on a routine basis, this episode is still for you because you’re going to learn how to think about viewing your body as your teammate as Serena calls it. We talk about how to think about eating as self-care, and how we can use gentle nutrition (whether it be sports nutrition, or gentle nutrition for specific health conditions, or just general gentle nutrition strategies) to proactively and compassionately care for our bodies.

#120: Can Ozempic and Other Semaglutide Medications Ever Align With Intuitive Eating?
You’ve probably heard all the hype about semaglutide medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. They’re all the rage right now for weight loss, and diet culture has certainly jumped on the bandwagon. But if we set diet culture aside, can these medications be useful for someone who is trying to eat intuitively? Is it even possible to do intuitive eating if you’re taking a medication that messes with your appetite signals? My answer might surprise you...it’s YES. In this episode, I’m going to break down why semaglutide is different from diet pills of the past (Fen Phen, I’m lookin’ at you), and the circumstances where these medications can actually help someone to eat more intuitively, make peace with food, and to genuinely honor their health.

#119: Grieving the Things You've Lost to Diet Culture With Erin Kinzel
Did you know that the frustration you feel about your eating and your weight is probably related to GRIEF? You might be scratching your head, but after you listen to this episode you’re going to be nodding your head in total agreement. There’s a lot to grieve when it comes to letting go of dieting - the time you lost to futile efforts that didn’t result in lasting weight loss, the money you spent on diets and shakes that didn’t make you permanently skinny, the social situations you skipped or didn’t enjoy because you were so stressed about the food. How about grieving the sheer fact that dieting has basically been one big scam? And that you’ve been misled and lied to all these years. In this episode, I sat down with Erin Kinzel, a grief expert, who shares how she realized on her own intuitive eating journey that grief was an essential component. She shares how grief fits into the process, and steps for allowing yourself to grieve. When you listen, you’ll also learn how to take back your power. You’ll learn how allowing yourself to grieve and feel anger and sadness are actually “superpowers” that allow you to move forward in ways that are so much more productive and freeing. Hit play to hear all of this, and get ready to take notes because this is an incredibly powerful episode. Today’s Wellness Woo is The Dirty Dozen.

#118: Are You Making This Major Mistake With Intuitive Eating? Listen to Find Out
When you first heard the term “intuitive eating,” what came to mind? Maybe you thought just eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re full. Or perhaps you assumed it meant you should simply eat whatever you want, whenever you want. These are two common misconceptions of what intuitive eating actually is, and one of them is leading to a major mistake that I see over and over again in people who are trying to ditch dieting and eat intuitively. In this episode, you’ll learn what this mistake is, whether or not you’ve been making it, and how to easily fix iit. I’ll also be sharing with you a simple framework from inside my program, Non-Diet Academy, that is going to help you to get dialed into the appetite signals from your body and will help you to eat what your body truly needs.

#114: Finding Confidence in Yourself With Desiree Petrich
There’s something we need to shift if we want to be more confident. (And, no, it’s not our macros or our workout routine). We must look at confidence differently. We must stop equating confidence with a “look,” or with a number on the scale. Instead, we can approach confidence with gentleness, compassion and embracing our true selves. Does that mean we can’t or shouldn’t strive for goals or changes in our lives? Of course not. But it does mean that we might be better off approaching our goals differently. In this episode, my guest is going to share her expertise as a confidence coach. She will blow your mind as you hear her talk about how to think radically differently about goal setting, striving to be the best version of yourself, and what your self-talk sounds like.

What scares you the most about letting go of dieting? What are you afraid will happen if you aren’t trying to “be good” or “eat healthy?” When we can notice our fears and name them, it allows us to get curious about them and to work through them - rather than letting our fears control us and keep us stuck. I would be willing to bet money on the fact that your fears about healing your relationship with food fall into these 2 categories: 1) Gaining weight, 2) Becoming unhealthy. (“OMG, is she in my head?”) In this episode you’re going to learn how to embrace and overcome these fears, and how to create a healthy and positive relationship with food and your body instead. You see, healing your relationship with food will give you the freedom to LIVE LIFE MORE FULLY because you won’t be constantly stuck in your head thinking about how many calories you ate or whether or not you’ve gained weight.

#101: Unlearning Body Shame And Doing the Work to Heal From Within with Amanda Mittman
Today we are going to be talking about body image. It’s almost impossible to work on our relationship with food without also working on body image - because the way we feel about our bodies has such a major impact on how we approach our eating. You see, the way we feel about our bodies deeply impacts how we think and feel about food, and therefore how we eat. And unfortunately, the deep body hatred that many of us feel is creating so much dysfunction in the way that we eat that we are stuck in this vicious cycle. Today we’re going to work on breaking out of that cycle by going deeper and talking about body image. In fact, I’m bringing on an expert in this area to help us explore body image in ways that you might not have done before. Her name is Amanda Mittman, and she’s a fellow dietitian, and the way she talks about body image is so powerful. You’re going to love it. Go ahead and hit play and enjoy!

#99: Have You Had Your Pap Smear and Breast Exam Lately? Going to the Doctor When You're Struggling With Weight or Body Image
This is the most deeply personal episode I’ve ever created. And it just might save your life (I’m not exaggerating, and you’re going to hear why I know this is true). Getting your pap smear and breast exam is an incredibly vulnerable experience, especially if you are struggling with weight, body image or have a history of trauma. Going to the doctor in general is sometimes so stressful and shaming that we will avoid it or put it off until later, telling ourselves we’ll get around to it when life is less busy or stressful. It’s one thing to know you *should* go to the doctor and get your well woman exam. It’s another thing to actually go through with it. I’m going to help you understand this and strategize about it. In this episode I’m going to be sharing: The life-changing lesson I learned while working at a breast cancer center Why so many of us put off and avoid going to the doctor…and the potential consequences this can have Tips for preparing for a well woman exam to make it feel safer, less stressful and more comfortable for you (as well as a game plan for afterwards) Trigger Warning: In this episode you’ll hear me talking about trauma, cancer, weight stigma and death. It’s ok to skip this one if that’s too heavy for you right now. Today’s Wellness Woo is soy and breast cancer. Resources Mentioned: (all proceeds support breast cancer survivorship research!)
