Today on the podcast, I’m sharing with you 10 easy ways to cope with a bad body image day. This will be a short and sweet episode, which is perfect, anytime you are having one of these days, a bonus step could be coming to listen to this episode to remind you how to navigate it. The truth is, bad body image days happen.   I find for a lot of my clients, they can happen when they are challenging food fears (and the discomfort of eating them makes their brain perceive they have suddenly gained loads of weight), when they are having a stressful day or week and just generally can occur when things in our life feel out of control. As sad as it is, most of us feel that our bodies and food are sometimes the only thing in our lives that we can control. We want to be compassionate with ourselves when we feel this way, but I also encourage you to not let these negative thoughts dictate your actions and how you treat yourself or feed yourself.

What does it REALLY mean to have peace with food and your body? Maybe it would help to explain first what doesn't feel like peace.   Because for myself, my clients, online course students and community- feeling peace has not always been your experience with your food, and as a result, your body. Maybe you’re even there right now. The fights you're having with your body.   The war between the two of you, almost as if your body was separate from you. You can’t get your body to do what you want. To be the size you want it to be. To be able to live off minimal carbs and excessive exercise. I remember thinking to myself, why does my body hate me so much?   And maybe you can relate to that. Maybe you’ve even had that thought yourself. That disconnection, that lack of TRUST in your body, means your always trying to control things.   Listen to today’s podcast episode to learn more, including how to make peace with food and your body!   Need more support for the holiday season?

There are a variety of reasons secondary amenorrhea (a missing period for 3+ months) can occur, but the two most common reasons are PCOS and hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA).   In today’s podcast, we will walk through the lab work and symptoms of both HA and PCOS, to help you understand the similarities and differences between these two common hormone conditions.   If you have a missing or irregular cycle, I would HIGHLY recommend that you do investigative work, order more lab work with your doctor and talk to them about your symptoms, even consider a DUTCH test, so that you have a plan tailored to you and your needs. These conditions are very different yet have a lot of overlap!   Need help getting your period back? We have a few spots left to work with us for anti-diet, gentle nutrition support for HA and PCOS at our virtual practice. Our online program specifically for HA recovery, Get Your Period Back Playbook, will reopen for enrollment in March 2022.   Today’s episode is brought to you by our signature pro

Today on the podcast I’m so excited to have the co-hosts of What the Actual Fork Podcast, Jenna and Sammy. If you love my podcast, you’ll love their podcast and I would highly recommend a listen!   Jenna Warner (Owner of Happy Strong Healthy) and Sammy Previte (Owner of Find Food Freedom)  are the hosts of What the Actual Fork Podcast. These dietitian besties can’t stand diet culture bullsh*t and love keeping it real! Their mission is for all humans to believe that they are made for so much more than chasing a smaller body. They are also here to share with you that food can be fun and pleasurable again. Although these ladies are medical professionals, they are human too! Listen to today’s episode to learn their evolution to becoming intuitive eating dietitians.   In this episode we discuss: Who is Jenna and Sammy and how their podcast, What the Actual Fork podcast came to be. The goal behind their podcast and who they are serving. The evolution of going from a diet culture dietitian to an intuitive eating di

Here’s what I want you to experience THIS Halloween. This Halloween you are happy, engaged and present with your food choices, yes- candy included. You enjoy the candy, but more than anything you enjoy your time with family and loved ones.    This is possible for YOU my friend because this is what intuitive eating allows for in our lives. But I know you probably are scared to allow yourself to enjoy yourself. To really give yourself that permission to eat, especially foods like candy.   I know, because I’ve been where you have before. I’ve been in a chaotic relationship with food. I’ve experienced COUNTLESS times the restrict binge seesaw.   You know what I’m talking about, the seesaw of trying to control the thing you view as bad, or dirty, or too much sugar or too many calories. You try to control the amount  you are allowed to eat, and maybe it works for a while, but inevitably you lose “willpower” and eat every piece of Halloween candy in sight.   And sadly this only reinforces the idea that you cannot co

Victoria Welsby, aka Fierce Fatty, has been on the podcast before and it was such a joy to have them back on the podcast today! In this episode we talk about how to stop worrying about how others judge our bodies and how fatphobia can negatively impact our sex life.   Victoria Welsby (they/them) is a world-leading expert on dismantling fatphobia and diet-culture, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author. They went from being homeless, abused with self-esteem that was achingly low into the courageous fat activist and change maker they are today. Victoria helps people fall in love with themselves and is dedicated to shifting the way society views fat bodies.   In this episode we discuss:   How Victoria’s life has changed in the past year, including their gender transition story. How worrying about judgement from others prevents us from doing the work of body acceptance and intuitive eating. Mindset shifts we can make when we notice negative self talk and the people pleasing tendencies. How fatphobic beliefs had i

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you know that in addition to intuitive eating and body image work, we also specialize in hormone and digestion disorders.   The most common hormone conditions we work with are HA and PCOS. Hypothalamic amenorrhea or HA is extremely common, no matter your body size, when you struggle with orthorexia and disordered eating. This is why we talk so much about it, because there’s a huge gap in the hormone space about HA.   I’d like to talk about aspects of HA today that is less well known or talked about, and that’s the stress connection to HA- and the main culprit of my community’s stress, which is perfectionism. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!   In this episode I reference Get Your Period Back Playbook, our HA recovery program that will help you regain your health and fertility. This program will reopen for enrollment in March you can join the waitlist here.   Resources for you: Learn more about our services at Nourishing Minds Nutrition.
