#191: Coping With Food Restrictions and Finding Joy in Eating Again After a Medical Diagnosis Like Celiac Disease When Carrie Saunders discovered she had celiac disease, she finally had answers for years of feeling sick and disconnected from her body. But navigating a medical condition that requires eliminating foods, without falling back into a restrictive dieting mentality, wasn’t easy. In this episode, Carrie shares her story of going from chronic undernourishment to postpartum weight gain, and the long journey toward finding balance, healing, and body trust. We talk about the messy middle: how to take care of your health while staying grounded in intuitive eating, and how to listen to your body (and your gut, literally and figuratively) when you’ve spent years tuning it out. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating a medical diagnosis that requires dietary changes (like celiac, diabetes, high blood pressure, food sensitivities, chronic illness, etc.) or healing after a lifetime of diet culture. Dietary changes for health don’t have to equal deprivation. Carrie’s story is going to help you see how to honor your body’s needs without feeling like you’re missing out on the foods you love, or on life experiences that involve food. Episode Highlights: – What it’s like to discover celiac disease after years of confusing symptoms – How Carrie learned to eat gluten-free without falling back into dieting – The emotional side of weight changes and body image – How to trust your body again after feeling betrayed by it – Why restriction for medical reasons doesn’t have to mean deprivation Resources Mentioned - - Read the full episode show notes .

#185: PCOS and Managing Your Health Without Dieting with Julie Duffy Dillon 05/20/2025

#185: PCOS and Managing Your Health Without Dieting with Julie Duffy Dillon PCOS and managing any health condition that calls for dietary changes can be really challenging when you’re also trying to stay off diets and heal your relationship with food. My guest today is a fellow non-diet dietitian. Julie Duffy Dillon is a Registered Dietitian and Host of Find Your Food Voice®, a popular long running nutrition podcast. Through speaking and writing, she helps people with a complicated relationship with food strategize how to remove the shame and blame dumped on them from the diet industry. Her work has been featured on TLC and in the New York Times, Outside Magazine, Shape and other outlets. She is the author of the book, Find Your Food Voice. We cover a lot of ground in this conversation - including what it’s like coming up as a dietitian in the medical field that very much subscribes to a weight-centric model of care, and we both spilled some tea about the inner reckonings we had that shook us and caused us to change the path we were on in our careers. We also talked about emotional eating - Julie has a hot take on this that you don’t want to miss. Julie shares some great strategies for how to navigate health conditions like PCOS, HTN, diabetes, IBS, high chol, and things like that without getting sucked back into dieting. Make sure you listen towards the end for the part where Julie talks about the concept of “finding your food voice” which is such a cool concept that is going to help you to silence diet culture and your inner critic as you are learning to trust yourself with food. As you can tell, this is an incredible conversation, so pop in your ear buds, push play and get ready to be inspired! Episode Highlights -Why Julie bailed on the nutrition class she was teaching 5 minutes into it and almost got fired. -How chronic illnesses like PCOS, diabetes, high blood pressure, IBS, and high cholesterol impact our relationship with food. -PCOS and what mainstream medical culture gets wrong about it. -Finding your “food voice” and how this will help you make peace with food.

You’ll also get practical tools to ride the wave of body image distress without running back to dieting. Because YES, you can feel uncomfortable AND still choose not to diet. REMEMBER: You’re not failing…you’re feeling. And that’s part of the work.

#181: What No One Tells You About the Grief of Leaving Dieting Behind Let’s talk about the hardest part of quitting dieting, the part no one prepares you for: Grief. You’re not just giving up food rules…you're letting go of a lifetime of chasing thinness, control, and the hope that “someday” your body would finally be enough. In this episode, I’m naming the grief that often comes with intuitive eating, and helping you understand why it shows up, what it really means, and how to move through it gently. When you let go of dieting, you’re not just giving up food rules - you’re grieving the version of yourself you thought you'd become if you could just lose the weight. If you're feeling lost, sad, or even questioning everything right now…you’re not alone. And you're not going backwards. You're healing. Hit play and let’s talk about it! Episode Highlights -How the 5 stages of grief show up when you quit dieting (and what to look for to figure out which one you’re in) -What you’re ACTUALLY grieving when you give up on dieting (Hint: It’s not the diet or control itself.) -What’s waiting for you on the other side of grieving Today’s Wellness Woo is Blue glasses for weight loss Resources Mentioned - - Read the full episode show notes .

#175: How to Trust Your Body Again After Years of Ignoring Your Hunger and Fullness 03/11/2025

#175: How to Trust Your Body Again After Years of Ignoring Your Hunger and Fullness You’ve spent years trying to outsmart your hunger - pushing it down, ignoring it, or waiting until you “deserve” to eat. But what if I told you that ignoring your hunger is exactly what’s keeping you stuck in the binge-restrict cycle? In this episode, I’ll show you why your body’s hunger signals aren’t the enemy - they’re actually the key to finding food freedom. Here’s the truth: when you ignore your hunger, your body doesn’t just sit back and accept it. It fights hard to get the energy it needs - through cravings, obsession, and feeling totally out of control around food. But the problem isn’t you. It’s the dieting rules that have convinced you to fear your own body’s needs. Imagine what it would feel like to actually trust your hunger and eat without guilt. That’s exactly what we’re diving into today. If you’ve ever felt like you can’t trust yourself around food, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip. Episode Highlights Why you lost trust in your body The biological, metabolic and mental consequences of ignoring your hunger and fullness How to rebuild trust with hunger and fullness Case example from a client who learned to trust her body - and how you can too!

#174: Can You Intuitively Drink? Alcohol, Diet Culture and What Feels Right For You With Casey Davidson Where does alcohol fit in with intuitive eating? Should you “intuitively” try to drink? What about the health risks vs benefits to alcohol? We’re digging into all these questions today with my extra special guest, Casey Davidson, a sobriety coach. The truth is, there are key differences between food and alcohol that you need to be aware of. And there are some special considerations for how you might want to approach drinking differently than you do eating. In this episode, we’re going to explore your relationship with alcohol, and help you reflect on the role of drinking in your life. There’s zero pressure for you to stop drinking or to explore sobriety, unless you want to (and if you do, Casey has tons of resources for you). Ultimately, this is about listening to your body. And being curious about how alcohol makes you feel - both in the moment, and afterwards. It’s also about the reasons you want to drink in the first place and the role of alcohol in your life. There is no right or wrong answer to whether you want to keep drinking or not…This is all about being curious about where you are at with alcohol, and choosing with compassion how you want to move forward.

In this episode, we’re digging into the 4 biggest fears that keep you from making peace with food and terrified of weight gain: Fear of Social & Relational Consequences – How weight stigma and identity shifts impact friendships, family, dating, and even how you see yourself. Fear of Losing Control – Why dieting feels “safe,” and intuitive eating feels like free-falling into the unknown. Fear for Your Health – The real truth about weight and health (hint: it’s not what diet culture told you). Fear of Losing a Goal or Sense of Purpose – What happens when weight loss is no longer the project you’re constantly working on? And most importantly—we’ll talk about how to move through these fears so you can finally make peace with food and your body. You’ll walk away with powerful mindset shifts and actionable strategies to help you trust yourself, redefine health, and stop waiting for a “goal weight” to start fully living your life.

#166: Cookies vs Celery: Why Your All-Or-None Thinking With Food Is Interfering With Your Health 01/21/2025

#166: Cookies vs Celery: Why Your All-Or-None Thinking With Food Is Interfering With Your Health In this episode, you’ll learn how to improve your health with this one powerful mental shift. But here’s the kicker - it’s going to be uncomfortable. Labeling food as “good/bad” or “healthy/unhealthy” is not only untrue (we’ll get into why not), but it’s also working against you and interfering with your health goals. That’s because it’s disconnecting you from your body, working against your biology, and setting you up to crave more of the foods you’re trying to avoid. (Cue the late night kitchen raids for chips or cookies.) You’re going to learn how to let go of the traditional diet culture narratives about healthy eating, so that you can not only have peace with food - but you can also honor your health in ways that actually work and are sustainable. Episode Highlights -How your all-or-none thinking with food is showing up, and how it’s getting in your way -The overall patterns with your eating that matter more than individual food choices -The supportive vs non-supportive framework (this changes EVERYTHING!) -Ideas and examples of how to find balance with food using my Have Your Cake & Eat It Too Method Today’s Wellness Woo is intermittent fasting Resources Mentioned - Read the full episode show notes .

#162: The Angel vs Devil On Your Shoulder: Which Voice Do You Listen To With Food? 12/24/2024

#162: The Angel vs Devil On Your Shoulder: Which Voice Do You Listen To With Food? Do you ever feel like you have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other shoulder, and both are constantly talking in your ear telling you what you “should” and “shouldn’t” do with food? Even if you’ve never thought of it in the angel/devil sense before, there’s a good chance that you have experienced some type of inner dialogue or food police that has a long list of rules about which foods are “healthy,” which foods are “junk,” and how you shouldn’t eat past 8pm. (Cue the guilt when you break one of these rules.) In this episode we’re going to talk about how to identify the voices that you’re listening to with your eating, and how to connect with your True Self and your body’s inner wisdom to tell you what you need. Make sure you stick around until the end because I have a really powerful journaling exercise that I want you to try that is going to help you figure out what your True Self sounds like, and how to let that voice be your guide. Episode Highlights -Identifying the voices of angel and devil on your shoulder, as well as your inner food police, and noticing how they keep you disconnected from your body -How to discover the wisdom of your True Self when it comes to your eating, which allows you to listen to your body, enjoy food without guilt, and honor your health. -A journaling exercise that will help you get clarity on what your True Self wants and needs, and how to silence your inner food police. Today’s Wellness Woo is bone broth.
