Do you ever feel like learning to make peace with and trust your body is too much effort, and you can’t do it all yourself? 

Working towards building a better relationship with your body can be daunting when you feel like you have to take it on alone. Luckily, you don’t have to! In this episode, you’ll learn how much easier it is to trust your body when you let go of the control you think you have to cling so tightly to.

In today’s episode, we’ll be taking a look at the third and final component of body trust. This last piece may feel unnatural at first, and like the opposite of everything the world tells us to do. But, when we lean into it and learn to understand the real purposes for it, learning to trust your body and the design the Lord has for it becomes so much easier. 

We’ll focus on why it's not sustainable to rely on your own strength, reveal some truth about the Lord’s character, and discover how you can turn over your goal of body trust to Him.

In this last episode of the body trust framework series, you're going to…

👉 Identify the 3rd and final component needed in order to cultivate body trust.

🔎 Uncover a lie the world’s been telling you

🕊️ See what’s possible when you learn to let go of control

Just knowing why and how to trust your body doesn’t solve everything when it comes to body trust.  There’s a second component that’s 100% necessary but can seem tedious and frustrating at times. 

The easy thing to do when things get hard is to give up, and that’s the reason so many women never come to experience full body trust. But, we’re working to solve that problem in episode 75 so you can learn how to grow, even when things may be uncomfortable.

In today’s episode, I’m discussing the 2nd component of developing body trust. We’ll focus on how this is really a process, and the importance of learning to lean on God throughout it. I’ll talk about accepting the discomfort, the power of giving yourself grace, and how to reframe your thoughts so that you can keep working towards trusting your body. 

In this week's episode, you're gonna learn…

❤️‍🩹 Why so many women give up on body trust too soon and how to stick with it

🌎 What the world says about the 2nd component of body trust and why we’ve got to tune it out

🤓 A nerdy, but impactful, language hack that can turn a frustrating situation into a massive potential for growth

One of the biggest obstacles to letting go of dieting is learning to trust your body’s natural cues.

For many women, the idea of letting go of a diet plan is scary because it means stepping away from a source of control and direction over what or when they eat. But in this episode, we’re addressing why it’s SO much better to trust your body when it comes to eating, and you’ll learn the key component to doing it!

In today’s episode, we’re continuing our discussion of body trust. I know that cultivating body trust can help you improve your body image, but often it’s hard to lean into that trust.

That’s why I’m breaking down exactly how to do it, but it’s up to you to take action on it for yourself. We’ll talk about the key component to learning to get in tune with your body’s natural cues and the truth about how God has designed your body purposefully and why you can trust it because of that.

In this episode, you’ll learn…

😌 The 1st component of body trust that will eliminate the need to ever go on another diet

🧠 Why you might have trouble recognizing and understanding your body’s signals and what to do about it

⚖️ How to find the balance between focus and intentionality

📖 What scripture has to say about your body’s design

⭐️ An effective strategy to get back in tune with your body

Negative body image often leads to hyper-focus on one's appearance, perpetuated by the belief that body positivity is the solution. However, body trust, not body positivity, is the key to cultivating a positive body image.

This episode delves into how to understand what body trust is and shift your focus away from your body so that you can confidently nourish and care for your body, while improving your body image along the way!

In today’s episode, we’ll uncover some common misconceptions about body positivity and what practicing it actually does to your mental health.  Then you’ll learn what scripture says that likely contradicts what you’ve been hearing about body image for years!

A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include:

🚗 What Volkswagon bugs and body image have in common

🤯 A surprising truth from scripture about self-love that may shock you 

🛑 The biggest thing that helped one of my students stop thinking about her body ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 TIME 👏🏻

🕰️ The average amount of time most people spend trying to change their appearance

❤️‍🩹 Some incredible physical health improvements that become possible when you cultivate body trust

It seems like the main concept that is becoming more and more prevalent among food and diet trends is “clean eating,” but is that an idea worth following or not?

Clean eating sounds good in theory, but it isn’t always the most practical or cost-effective approach. By the end of episode 69, you’ll know the truth about eating processed foods and how to overcome the anxiety of eating pre-packaged foods.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the topic of clean eating, giving you my thoughts on the debate, the pros and cons, and the reality that can be easy to miss. I’ll discuss breaking free from the chains of black-and-white mindsets and fear of foods that aren’t “clean.” You’ll hear my opinion, as a Registered Dietitian, on the practice of avoiding all processed foods. And, I’ll give you some practical ways to eat a balanced and healthful diet without cutting out entire categories of foods.

Some ideas you’ll hear discussed in this episode are:

We are immersed in a culture that puts so much pressure and worth on what your body looks like, so it can be a really difficult journey to find peace and navigate times when your body is changing.

There is a huge unrealistic expectation for women to look a certain way, and especially to ‘bounce back” after times of body change, but in this episode, you’ll learn specific ways you can keep a positive mindset and healthy relationship with your changing body.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Kate Griege, a certified eating disorder specialist RD and outpatient dietitian at Wonderfully Made Nutrition Counseling, and we’ll be talking all about body image during pregnancy, “bounce back culture,” and navigating all the emotions and struggles that come with that. We’ll talk about expectations and pressures that women face during seasons of change and how we have overcome some of the hardships that come with body change during pregnancy.

Topics discussed in this episode include: 

🤯 The prevalence of body image struggles pre- and post-partum

💁‍♀️ Practical tips to deal with your changing body and minimize external pressures

The idea of weight-related conversations with healthcare professionals can be daunting, especially if you’ve struggled with disordered eating in the past or are currently in the process of finding food freedom.

Believing that weight loss is the primary solution for improving your health is a HUGE mistake that many people make, so in this episode you’re going to hear a fresh perspective on improving your health (without requiring weight change) and what to do if or when your doctor recommends weight loss.

⚠️ CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: Recommending weight loss as the key means for someone to improve his or her health can actually do more harm than good for most people. So, today I’ll be explaining why weight loss isn’t always the best solution for improving health issues and what we can do in response to get past the idea that weight loss = better health.

Topics discussed in this episode include: 

💭 Discover the difference in correlation vs. causation when it comes to weight and health

🤔 Clarifying the end-goal you’re actually pursuing 

❓ The power of asking bold questions

👩🏼‍⚕️ Getting a second opinion

Tons of health issues can go overlooked by westernized American medical care, but functional medicine can give you insight into deeper issues that may even play into why you may be struggling with disordered eating.

If you’ve been feeling like crud, and you’re tired of doctors telling you that all your labs look ‘normal’, then this episode is for you, because we’re talking all about how functional labs can help you uncover underlying causes of what may be driving those uncomfortable symptoms and what your body really needs in order to finally feel better.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lacy Lain, a functional medicine and labs specialist, to talk about what functional medicine is and what it may reveal about root health issues. We’re discussing the effectiveness of treating underlying systemic causes rather than just symptoms. And, we’ll talk about what it might look like to take a functional approach to disordered eating and body image recovery, along with issues to watch for if you’re struggling with certain types of disordered behaviors.

Topics discussed in this episode include: 

⚕️ What’s so different about functional medicine?

🤔 The labs you may want to consider getting checked

🔎 Some of the best ways to assess your hormone health

🍽️ How to approach disordered eating behaviors from a functional perspective

Grief is a hard thing to experience. And grieving the loss of a past version of yourself or your body size is a normal part of the healing process for most people.  That’s why it’s so important to understand that grieving is okay and as Christians, it’s possible to grieve well.

There’s a common misconception that Christians shouldn’t grieve, however this can lead to shame when it inevitably does occur. So, in this episode, we’ll address what scripture actually says about grief and learn how to do it biblically with hope.

In today’s episode, we'll look at why grief isn't a bad thing, where we see it happening in the Bible, and the keys of honesty and communication as we grieve.  I’ll show you key moments of grief from scripture to help you model the ways in which you can grieve more hopefully. AND, you’ll learn how the values of grace and hope shape our experience of grief as we set our eyes on Christ, rather than dwell on our questions.

Topics discussed in this episode include: 

🎢 The honest truth about the stages of grief 

🕊️ The power of prayer

😌 Accepting grief and accepting grace

🏳️ Surrendering the question, “Why?”

Most women (especially Christian women) are making a HUGE mistake that can cost them years of wasted time and effort when it comes to achieving their health and wellness goals – including their mental health and relationship with food.

But you don’t have to fall into the same trap. That’s why I want to hand you the missing piece of the puzzle that most people are leaving out so that you can defy the odds and achieve greater levels of freedom in your health this year.

🙅🏻‍♀️ Why so many women avoid cultivating genuine relationships

📖 What scripture says about being in community

⚖️ What most people are trying to avoid that’s keeping them from achieving their goals

There are lots of voices in the world telling you what “true freedom”, but it can be difficult to know who or what to listen to.

The world tells us that the best way to find freedom is doing what you want to do when you want to do it, being “true to yourself”; however real freedom comes when we learn to surrender to God.

In today’s episode, we’ll talk about finding freedom from the concepts of Radical Expressive Individualism. I’ll discuss why understanding and grounding ourselves in absolute truth is the path to finding freedom in God’s truth, rather than your own. You’ll learn the importance of placing boundaries on what you believe about yourself and others, your feelings, and finding happiness. We’ll also discuss the necessity of becoming a slave to Jesus rather than sin, giving yourself grace, and abiding in personal relationship with Christ to discover true freedom through him.

Topics discussed in this episode include: 

🎙️ The four main planks of Radical Expressive Individualism

🧐 How expressive individualism may be showing up in your life

🛑 How REI is holding you back from freedom in today’s culture

4️⃣ Four steps to experiencing true freedom

🕊️ Learning to admit your slavery to sin and inability to fix it and instead surrender to the Lord

Nutrition is a huge part of reaching performance goals for athletes, but is it possible to eat in a way to reach those goals without hurting your relationship with food?

For many athletes, counting macros or tracking their nutrition is a huge way to reach performance or physique goals, but it’s not the only way. Today, you’ll learn to balance a healthy relationship with food and fueling to perform your best through empowered eating.

In today’s episode, I’ll be chatting with registered dietitian Jessika Brown about maintaining a positive relationship with food, even as an athlete with specific performance or nutrition goals. We’ll discuss why it’s important to dig deeper to the heart posture of why you want to have more targeted nutrition goals. Also, you’ll hear about the concept of empowered eating as a tool to reach your athletic goals while also eating what will make you feel your best, without getting obsessive over it.

Some of the big ideas discussed in episode 56 are: 

🕊️ How our values direct our decisions and motivations

🍂 The seasons of empowered eating

🙌 Transitioning from intuitive eating to utilizing nutrition to help you reach your goals

🍩 Where to start implementing gentle nutrition without falling into disordered behaviors

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I’m too [fill in the blank] to recover,” or, “I can’t recover because of [blank]?”

It’s easy to use your traits or tendencies as an excuse for not being able to fully recover, but today you’ll learn the power of understanding those qualities on your path to food freedom.

In today’s episode, I’ll be chatting with Sarah Lee, a certified eating disorder recovery coach, about assessing how your character traits can go from liabilities to assets on your path to recovery. And, we’ll talk about how to change your mindset about your tendencies to use them to your advantage.

✏️ Using caution in how you label yourself

🎁 How to start seeing your traits as assets instead of liabilities
