Hey rebel. Let’s be real, no one wants to talk about poop. Or gas. Or bloating. Or… binge eating. But so many of us are silently struggling with both food AND gut issues, and they’re more connected than you might think.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by gut health specialist and registered dietitian Dr. Heather Finley to break the silence and unpack how things like chaotic eating, restriction, and disordered patterns can impact digestion, even if you think you’re eating enough overall.

We talk about:

• Why your gut needs consistency and enough food to function well

• How restriction (even unintentional!) can affect your bowel movements and tolerance to fiber

• The nuanced role of meal spacing without falling into diet culture traps

• Why poop is actually a valuable signal from your body (yep, we went there!)

• Common gut health myths (greens powders, probiotics, and carnivore diets included!)

This episode is packed with validation and insight, especially if you’re juggling digestive struggles while working on healing your relationship with food.

Rebels, today’s episode is a personal one. I’m sharing the five things that actually helped me heal my relationship with food. Not flashy Instagram tips or vague "just listen to your body" advice, but the real-deal shifts that made a lasting difference.

These were originally shared in an Instagram Q&A, and the response was so powerful that I knew I had to go deeper on the podcast. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed by food, stuck in the binge-restrict cycle, or wondering when this gets easier—this episode is for you.

Inside the episode, I cover:

• Why ditching timelines helped me make progress (and why rushing this work backfires)

• The problem with “never binge again” goals (and what to focus on instead)

• How I learned to tolerate fullness—and stop spiraling when I overate

• My go-to mindfulness tools for handling food impulsivity

& more!

Hey Rebel! Our relationship with food starts in childhood, shaped by the messages we absorb early on. In this episode, I’m joined by Megan McNamee of Feeding Littles, a registered dietitian who helps parents raise intuitive eaters while also exploring how our own upbringing impacts our food choices today.

In this episode, we cover:

• How childhood food messages shape adult eating habits
• The one thing Megan sees in childhood that negatively impacts food freedom
• How to stop putting sugar on a pedestal—for kids and yourself
• Ways to support kids’ natural ability to self-regulate hunger and fullness
• How to talk about body diversity and avoid passing down diet culture

Whether you're a parent or simply reflecting on your own food journey, this episode will help you reconnect with intuitive eating and break free from harmful food beliefs.

Hey Rebel. It’s Eating Disorder Awareness Week — but this episode is for everyone. Diet culture doesn’t take a break, and the truth is, dieting and eating disorders are deeply connected. Most eating disorders start with seemingly small, “harmless” choices, like eating less to control weight — choices often praised by others.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into:

• How dieting fuels disordered eating. 
• Why food worry can harm your health.
• The power of intuitive eating in healing your relationship with food.
• How to challenge diet culture and support yourself and others.

You don’t need to have an eating disorder to benefit from this conversation — if you've ever felt guilt, shame, or anxiety around food, this is for you.

Hey Rebel. In this episode, I’m talking with former client Patricia about her journey of unlearning diet rules and finding food freedom. Like many of us, she thought she was just being healthy, but in reality, those beliefs kept her stuck in restriction, worry, and self-judgment.

In this episode, Patricia shares:

• How internalized diet culture shaped her food choices without her realizing it
• The mindset shifts that helped her break free from food rules and restriction
• How prioritizing satisfaction helped her discover new foods and let go of guilt
• Why learning the science behind nutrition was key to improving her body image

If you’ve ever felt stuck in food rules without questioning where they came from, or if you struggle with food but don’t know why, Patricia’s story will resonate with you. Tune in to hear how she reconnected with her body’s needs and finally found peace with food.
