Since I know this is a time of year that our clients really struggle with food guilt, trying to avoid all the holiday food but then end up eating all the Christmas cookies when no one is around, I wanted to help you through these unique challenges.   I think we can all agree that there’s more “off limits food” around this time of the year more than any other time. And maybe it’s the prolonged time frame that messes with us too- from Halloween to New Years, this tends to be a time where people feel like there’s no point to “try” so they give up on their diets or eating healthy with the resolve that they will just start over in the New Year.   But this mindset is caused from the all or nothing mentality. So in today’s episode I explain what exactly is the all or nothing mentality, different ways it shows up in our relationship with food, especially during the holiday season, and two easy ways to challenge it over the next month.   If you are ready to let go of the all or nothing mentality around food, to make p

If you’re interested in gut health, you likely have seen on social media the crazy amount of information you “should” do to heal your health. Eating the right foods, avoiding inflammatory foods, taking a million supplements and more, it seems like the list of things you should do is never ending! I asked gut health and eating disorder expert, Marci Evans, to come on the show to help you understand how malnourishment plays a role in your gut health, and why recovery is the answer most of the time.   Marci identifies as a Food and Body Imager Healer® practicing from a weight inclusive and anti-oppression lens.

Picture this: The day is Halloween. You wake up excited because you cannot wait to enjoy the fun celebration of dressing up and eating candy and watching your children do the same.   You spend the day prepping for Halloween, getting costumes ready, carving pumpkins, prepping the candy and enjoying the candy like my favorites- sour patch kids and Kit Kats, Halloween themed sweets and candy corn throughout the day. Sure, these aren’t foods you typically eat on a daily basis- but that’s part of what makes the day so fun!   You go trick or treating with your kids, you are SO present with them, smiling and laughing and bursting with joy watching them get so excited to go to each house, knock on the door and yell, trick or treat!   You get home with all the candy. Your family goes through all the candy, picking out your favorites, enjoying eating it to the amount you desire, and end the day in bed with a smile on your face. Listen to today’s episode to learn more about how to make this your reality!   I’m rooting f

If I were to ask you, what is your self worth dependent on, how would you answer? Would it be the grades you make in school? The accolades you hold in your job? How hard you work? How good of a mom you are?   What about your body? Do you feel that your body is THE thing that either provides you self worth, or is the very thing that you feel constantly holds you back from viewing yourself in a positive light?   And maybe that’s why you’re always on and off diets. You're always searching the latest and greatest diet to finally “fix your body”. Because you feel like once you fix your body, everything else will work out. You’re not alone if you feel that way. Because that’s the lie we are sold from diet culture.   In today’s episode, I hope to challenge you with what you believe about your own self worth.   If you’re ready to develop positive self worth, and to make peace with food and your body, join Food & Body Peace Playbook for our October cohort and final group for 2022.   FBPP is for for you if: You w

What if you could get dressed everyday without negative body talk? And what if you could feel confident in your body without changing what you eat?   Today on the podcast, we are going to cover 5 specific ways to feel more confident in your body on a daily basis.   And why do we want to experience confidence in our bodies? Confidence allows us to: Eat ice cream AND feel confident your body can handle it. Put on a bathing suit without freaking out over what your stomach looks like. Eat for the entire day without logging it into My Fitness Pal. Trust that your body has your back, allowing flexible health habits in your life that stick.   Confidence in your body goes so much deeper than confidence in the way your body looks. It’s confidence in what your body can do for you, the life it facilitates for you.   I mean think about it, you’re going to live in this body for the rest of your life. Don’t you want to feel confident in your body, not so much from a looks perspective although that’s great too, but more s

Do you constantly feel guilty for what you eat? And does the guilt you feel about food involve concern over how that food is going to impact your body, i.e. will it cause weight gain?   Have you ever thought about WHY you feel guilty about what you eat? In today’s episode we explore the main culprit of food guilt, diet culture, and how it causes food guilt.   Because here’s the truth: Guilt and shame take us away from listening to our bodies. Before we can listen to the body, we need to reject diet mentality, remove the negative emotions and morality involved around food, and take us away from listening to our bodies.    So in order to feel at peace around all foods, and to feel good in your body, you’ve got to work through these beliefs and emotions you have around both food and your body, which is exactly what we do inside Food & Body Peace Playbook.   Food & Body Peace Playbook is a mindset focused program. 5 out of 8 modules are focused on helping you shift to viewing food and your body in a posit

Have you ever experienced extreme hunger when you stopped dieting? Maybe you went from barely any hunger at all, and you stopped following Weight Watchers, paleo, keto, etc and now you cannot stop thinking about food?   Or maybe for you it’s that the feeling of hunger is complicated to you. You often ignore, push it away, which then leads you to get to the state of primal hunger at the end of the day and eat everything in sight.   The truth is, hunger is an interoceptive cue of the body that we’ve been taught is bad, or to ignore, or that if we experience it too often, we aren’t doing something right.   In today’s episode, one of the incredible dietitians at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Megan Perez, walks through why hunger is a complicated sensation, and what to do to befriend your hunger.   You’ll walk away with actionable steps to better manage your hunger going forward, and make sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode for updates from me and announcements you’re gonna want to hear!   In this episode I

There may be a way to save yourself hours per week with this one small change to your health habits. And that’s meal planning!   Over the past couple weeks, we’ve addressed many of the positive benefits to meal planning, like helping you eat for satisfaction AND nourishment, reducing decision fatigue and helping you have sustained energy all day long because you’re eating enough throughout the day.   And in today’s episode, I want to address even more the reasons you may consider meal planning as part of your health journey. Because let’s remember, diet culture doesn’t get to own meal planning.   So if you feel consumed about how to eat without dieting, or how to eat for satisfaction and nourishment, this meal planning guide is for YOU.   Our Meal Planning Guide will help you plan the 21 meals and variety of snack options you need on a weekly basis to nourish yourself. What this really means is that you can save time, spending 1 hour a week, planning those variety of meals and snack options. And the real val

What if you could eat the most delicious meals, in the comfort of your own home, without the decision fatigue you typically experience.   Let’s be honest, we are all busy bees. Same here. If I tried to come up with satisfying meals in the moment, meals that satisfy my desire for flavor and nutrition, I would give you a blank stare.   This is where meal planning can be so beneficial. In today’s episode, we dig in more to the fifth and final component of the 5 factors we’ve been addressing over the past three weeks on the podcast. And that’s flavor! Plus, we also discuss the benefits of meal planning, such as reducing mental decision fatigue.   Officially, as of today, our Meal Planning Guide is available for purchase and to celebrate this new offer for the next 72 hours you can grab your guide for $10!   Our meal planning guide will teach you: How to eat now that you are no longer dieting. Understand how to eat for life without tracking calories ever again. Eat for satisfaction while knowing you are taking c

Crossing items off your to-do list with joy, excited to do your job, to come home and spend time present with your kids.   Have you ever considered that maybe it’s not supplements and powders or another superfood you need in your diet to accomplish this type of sustained energy? That what you need is food.   Because food is so much more than fuel, but it’s important to remember it is THE THING that will give you sustained energy throughout the day.   So in order to feel good, to have energy all day long without relying on coffee or powders or superfoods and what have you, to cross items off your to-do list wi

One of the hardest things about choosing food and body peace is admitting to yourself that you are struggling. Even harder? Telling those in your life that you love about those struggles!   Today’s episode is one of hopefully many to come, where dietitian at my practice, Emilie Hebert, interviews one of her clients on their experience working with Emilie. Lauren was gracious enough to agree to come on the show, and I cannot thank her enough for doing so!    My hope is that this episode gives you light where there is currently darkness. That you see that choosing peace is worth it, even if it feels scary as hell initially to do so. Lauren shares her process of admitting to herself that she struggled, sharing this with her partner, and why she chose to seek help even though at times she didn’t feel ‘sick enough’ to do so. Listen to this incredible story to learn more!   You can learn more about Emilie and her packages at Nourishing Minds Nutrition by clicking here.   Products referenced in this episode: the dr
