| 302-‘Tis the Season (to smash down diet culture) with Unyime Oguta | 25 Nov 2021 | 00:39:33 | |
'Tis the season to smash down diet culture... and if we want that, we need to understand the roots of the holiday season so that we can smash down the roots of oppression. "Indulgence” is rooted in diet culture – it makes you feel bad for enjoying holiday foods and it sets you up for eating out of control. It is a stepping stone on the path to binging because this mentality towards food is tied up in your self-worth and body image.

| 301-Q&A: I'm just too busy to... but I know I should do this? The link between time, body and food scarcity | 18 Nov 2021 | 00:24:07 | |
Do you often answer the question “How are you doing?” with “I’m just so busy....” The thoughts that want to validate the fact that you’re too busy, that there’s not enough time, are coming from the exact same place in your brain that criticizes your body, that criticize your food choices. That part of your brain is your fight or flight part of your brain – aka diet brain. That part of your brain is designed and fully committed to keeping you exactly where you are. I am committed to helping you get where you want to go. Tune in to Episode 301 of the podcast where I will teach you how time scarcity is linked to body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. It’s all bundled up together...

| 300-The Audacity of Acceptance–She's Beyond The Food Chapter 7 | 11 Nov 2021 | 00:39:46 | |
We are celebrating the 300th episode of our podcast and entering our 6th year! Woot Woot! So, this is a special episode: Chapter 6 of She’s Beyond The Food: My personal story. For most of my life, I misunderstood acceptance. I have to admit today, I was wrong. I used to believe that acceptance meant being resigned and giving up. I was socialized to believe that self-acceptance meant being passive in the face of my life and somehow lazy. The pain and suffering that I attributed to my body not being the right size and my inability to control what I ate were in fact due to the resistance I had to accept my body. The truth is that accepting myself for who I am today in my now body in today’s world is audacious. Self-acceptance is counter-culture. It’s an act of bravery and it took courage. Today, I know I’m a complex human being, an imperfect human being capable of making mistakes as well as significant accomplishments. When we embrace the audacity of acceptance, we move from fixing to creating. We begin spending our resources creating the version of ourselves that will take us to the life we desire.

| BONUS - Undiet Your Coaching Podcast Ep #28 - Decolonizing Diet Culture-Panel Discussion with Unyime Oguta, Jin Kim, Tara Rivera & Marissa Prieto | 09 Nov 2021 | 00:11:30 | |
Decolonizing diet culture and our approach to non-diet coaching is essential for the healing of all of our clients and it’s goes beyond simply white people’s food. Diet culture centers on the white narrative of what is “healthy”. Non-diet coaches need to know how to hold space for clients who have been taught that their food is “bad”, and play an active role in decolonizing diet culture in practice.

| BONUS - Undiet Your Coaching Podcast Ep #26 - Thin Privilege | 26 Oct 2021 | 00:11:40 | |
Thin privilege in coaching is a reality that will impact your client relationship and coaching efficiency. Here's the thin privilege definition: being able to experience the world knowing you will always be accommodated for and considered “acceptable”, based on the (smaller) size of your body. Thin privilege in health coaching – what it means for non-diet coaching businesses is that coaches in smaller bodies have to take responsibility for their thin privilege in practice.

| 297-Marie Kondoing Your Thoughts | 21 Oct 2021 | 00:22:16 | |
I want you to think of the process of undieting your brain of all the diet culture thoughts and beliefs, like Marie Kondioing your mind. Undiet Your Life is the act of decluttering your mind from all the thoughts that are no longer serving you, that no longer spark joy, happiness, and ease for you. You’ve picked thoughts all along your life, and up until now, you have kept them. Now, you have a mind filled with thoughts that create anxiety, perfectionism, black-and-white thinking, and fear. Thoughts are like the clutter Marie Kondo is coaching people to purge… You can purge your old thoughts too. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE:

| 295-Undieting Your Life (not just your food) | 07 Oct 2021 | 00:29:36 | |
Undieting your life doesn’t mean stopping dieting. Although stopping dieting is the first step. I hosted a workshop yesterday The Rebellious Eating Solution and the Q&A part of the class was on fire! I received one question that stomped me and I decided to create a podcast episode about it. This is today’s episode! What you’ll learn listening to this episode:
| |||
| 294-Body Compliance | 30 Sep 2021 | 00:27:36 | |
Thru their body women are asked to comply with society's prescribed norms. Body compliance defines, controls, and constrains women. As women, we learn to perform via our bodies. We demonstrated our ability to be self-disciplined, self-controlled, and to comply with social norms via body constraint. As a result, we learn not to disturb and take space through our bodies. That it is its size or its sign of aging. Body compliance and beyondAt first, it's compliance with our body, but it spreads quickly to many other aspects of our life:
Compliance becomes a way of life for many women. We aim to comply not to stand out and feel the judgment of others. Compliance becomes a safety net that spreads through our life. What you'll learn listening to this episode:
| |||
| 293-Rebellious Eating | 23 Sep 2021 | 00:33:19 | |
Rebellious eating is when we use food and/or eating in order to resist authority. In fact, it's an action to affirm one's power of food, body, or existence. We're actually restoring our autonomy and protecting our boundaries.
| |||
| 292-Overeating, Binging & Diet Culture | 16 Sep 2021 | 00:30:37 | |
Most often, when women start their journey beyond dieting, it’s because they want to overcome compulsive eating behaviors like binging or what they self-describe as “overeating.” They have learned that restriction is causing these compulsive eating behaviors, so they quit dieting... but is it the solution? Is it the only action that needs to be taken in order to end compulsion around food? That’s what we discussed on today’s podcast. If perhaps you are at this point where even though you have lifted the restriction and still struggling with "overeating," binging & diet culture this is a must-listen!

| 288-Believing in Yourself More Than Diet Culture | 19 Aug 2021 | 00:23:30 | |
Diet culture beliefs do not support your amazingness, your goodness and your brilliance. Diet Culture has been manufactured in order to create self-doubt in women, feeling of victimhood, distrust of self and disempowerment. In order to believe in yourself and the possibilities that can be present for you in your life, you need to have beliefs that support this amazingness, goodness that is in you now. And these beliefs aren’t shared by Diet Culture. How do we get to believe in ourselves more than diet culture? That’s what we are going to explore in this episode of our podcast.

| 287-The Not Good Enough Voices with Vanessa Preston | 12 Aug 2021 | 00:42:14 | |
Today, we are sharing stories and unpacking one of the most common beliefs women share: the belief that we are not good enough. And very often, controlling our bodies and beauty are the tools offered to us in order to access our self-worth and confidence, always selling us with the promise that we will feel good enough when we get to the “right body” size and beauty. Diet culture conditioning and the pursuit of the thin ideal kept me from accessing what was a fact: my innate worth. I was chasing externally what was already present internally.

| 286-You didn’t fail. Diets failed you. | 05 Aug 2021 | 00:22:06 | |
After every single diet failure over the span of a 25-year dieting career, these thoughts were on running on a loop in my mind "What's wrong me with?" "Why is it that it works for ALL these women but not for me." "If only I had more discipline and willpower, I couldn't have kept the weight off." What if I told you that nothing had gone wrong? That diet failure was the actual expected outcome of ANY diet. Diet Failed You. You didn't fail at dieting.What you'll learn listening to this episode:

| 285-Sexual Violence & Intuitive Eating with Sarah Berneche | 17 Jun 2021 | 01:02:15 | |
About 4 years ago, I came across an analysis of 57,000 women and found that those who had experienced physical or sexual abuse as children were twice as likely to behave compensatory behaviour with food. These women said that they felt more physically imposing when they were bigger. They felt their size helped ward off sexual advances from men. That's how food and trauma are often linked. It's not only in the context of sexual violence but also in various forms of trauma where food is often used as safety, comfort, avoidance of pain, numbing of suffering, buffering, etc. And then body-shaming gets layered in this already very difficult emotional situation. In fact, I believe and experience that fatphobia, from an external source or internalized, is trauma itself. Sexual violence And Intuitive EatingThis is when many people will begin the cycle of binge-restrict. Overeating food in an attempt to create safety, then feeling the shame of fatphobia, then use food once again but this time in a restrictive way with the hope to shrink their body. If this is you, I feel you, sister, because I was there for 25 years. Here's where it gets interesting… we can actually find our way out of the trauma response cycle by using food. I know it may appear counterintuitive, but it works. The process of learning an intuitive eating framework helps women nurture safety with food and their body. It's a beautiful healing process to be watched unfold. In today's new Going Beyond The Food Podcast, I have a powerful teaching conversation with Sarah Berneche, a trauma-informed nutritionist. She uses intuitive eating to help survivors of sexual violence stop diet-binge cycling and reclaim the joy of eating. Sarah Berneche is a somatic-oriented, weight-inclusive Nutritionist®, a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor and author of Enjoy It All: Improve Your Health and Happiness with Intuitive Eating. Fusing Intuitive Eating with evidence-based therapy models, she helps survivors of sexual violence stop diet-binge cycling and reclaim the joy of eating. What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

| 284-Diet Brain | 10 Jun 2021 | 00:27:25 | |
What you’ll learn listening to this episode, Diet Brain:
It's a term that I created a few years back after my own 25 years career and having worked with hundreds of women that have a similar journey as me. We all try to solve our lack of confidence, perfectionist habits, people-pleasing behaviours, and all-or-nothing mindset with band-aids like weight loss. Diet Brain is a term I coined to illustrate how diet culture has impacted women's brains over time. It's the most common adaptive mechanism present in women who have been dieting for a long time. Diet Brain is a collection of a pattern of thinking that our human brain of women has created to survive diet culture, fatphobia and ultimately Patriarchy. The 4 mindf*cks of Diet Brain What I refer to as mindf*ck is actually scientifically known as thought errors in psychology. The error in thinking is the path in which our human brain adapts to diet culture. They are: 1. Perfectionism Here's the good news sister…. you weren't born this way. You adopted these thinking patterns to survive. More on this later… stay tuned! Why is mindset centric to our teaching at Undiet Your Life?Simply because our brain is the commanding officer of our human experience. Our brain command all of our behaviours, patterns, actions, reactions, habits and emotion. For example, our ability to feed ourselves is driven by our brain. Our brain decides our dislike of our self-reflection. Our self-confidence is 100% created by our brain. This is why mindset matter so much. There's a reason why dieting didn't work…. and surprise, it has nothing to do with you. The food restriction, the attempt to shrink our Body to feel better, the attempt to have more willpower, all of it was like putting a band-aid on an infected wound without treating it with disinfectant first. The mindset's work is about getting to the root of what is causing all of the sufferings… our thought The #1 goal of our human brain is to keep us aliveOur brain keeps us alive by interpreting our environment, assessing potential threats and send commands to the rest of your body. The way our brain sends commands is through our thoughts. As we encounter events, our brain gives events interpretations based on past experiences, social constructs, learning, beliefs… via our thoughts. Our brain assesses our experiences as either safe or unsafe and creates a thought and consequently reactions to keep us safe or course correct if unsafe. You see, humans do not do anything for no reasonEverything you do is done to keep you alive as long as possible. Binging, overeating, self-critical thinking, self-body hatred, disinterest in body movement… all of it are present in your life because your brain believes that these habits, actions will keep you safe. For many of us, the big threat in diet culture is all the connected beliefs associated with it. Like thinner is better, fat is unhealthy, thin body is the gateway to happiness, some food is bad, fat people are lazy, fat people lack self-discipline…. I mean, I could go on and on for pages, but I'll stop here. Diet Culture itself is a system of oppressionDiet culture doesn't mean being on a diet; it by far exceeds this. It's an entire value system that worships thinness and equates to superiority, moral virtue and even today's world "health." It promotes weight loss as the tool to achieve this higher status and oppressed people who don't match the standards. So, of course, our brain believes that not being in a thin body is a threat to our survival and responds to it to keep us safe. There's also another system of oppression that contributes to women feeling unsafe in our society: Patriarchy. Women socialized to diet culture and patriarchal beliefs at a very young age. Our women's brains are programmed to perform and keep us safe under these beliefs. As a result, we chase the thin ideal unconsciously for most of our life. We become a perfectionist to achieve all the standards Patriarchy expects from us. The belief that you will be rejected from society because of your body's size keeps you dieting and hating yourself.

Today we will answer two major questions I get when I teach health professionals about the non-diet approach. Usually, these questions come right on the tail end of the first time being introduced to the Non-Diet Approach. What are those questions that almost all health professionals have at their first encounter with the non-Diet approach? But, what about health? And What about nutrition? These two questions reveal how entrenched diet and wellness culture along with weight stigma in our education as a health professional. It is very important to note that we, as health professionals, were blind to this. We were taught to teach our patient and client how to co-opt diet culture and fatphobia. We have been trained and learned to believe that health can only result from dieting, thinness and restriction. So when faced with an approach to health that doesn’t promote diet culture, dieting, weight loss or food restriction, we assume it's not “healthy”… Non-Diet Approach to Health and NutritionIn today’s episode, we will be helping you navigate these two questions when encountering the non-diet approach for the first time. But what about health? But what about nutrition? What you’ll learn listening to this episode of Non-Diet Approach to Health and Nutrition:

Digestive health... or as wellness culture calls it gut health is a hot topic these days. According to wellness culture, many diseases could be prevented and treated with a gut health protocol.

Gut health is a major concern for many people wanting to leave the world of diet culture. One question I get a lot is : but what about my food sensitivities and intuitive eating?

Thought work to undiet your lifeLet me introduce you to Diet Brain. Diet Brain is a coaching concept I created after years of helping women quit dieting, intuitive eating and body image. In fact, I kept seeing the same errors in thinking present in all of my clients. Diet brain is the way in which our brains adapt to diet culture, the deprivation of dieting, self-loathing and self-critical thoughts You see, the human brain is a magnificent organ… highly adaptative. Moreover, neuroplasticity allows our brain to adapt to our environment in order to survive. There are 4 most common errors in thinking that make up my concept of DB, they are:

| 280-Thought Work to Undiet Your Life – Part 1 | 25 Mar 2021 | 00:27:45 | |
This is going to be a 2-part podcast… Why 2 parts? Well, this is such an important topic, and I want to be sure I can unpack it well for you. I want to give you time to reflect in between. Most importantly, I want to teach you the basics of TW, and so I can teach you how specifically it applies to women and diet culture. I believe that thought work is the most important skill a woman can learn. In fact, it is not taught in any schooling system… for a reason. Get into this in Part 2. When a woman learns thought work, it is the best investment she can make towards because it solves every problem a woman can have. Only when you learn to manage your mind can you truly be free, happy and fulfilled. So let’s start with Part 1... What is thought work?You go to the gym to train your muscle to be stronger. We train nearly every part of our body… but one. Your brain. Why do I say your brain is the commanding officer? Well, it controls everything that happens in our body and our life. Our body interprets our environment via our brain, and our brain produces thoughts in order to give a command to the rest of our body in order to survive and thrive in this environment. How does thought work actually work?In a very simplistic explanation, our brain is made up of millions of neuropathways. Think of it as a wire that touches each other in our brain, and when your brain wants to pass on a command to the rest of your body, neuropathways connect, wire touches each other and a signal of energy pass and command is sent to the body via the CNS, spine and nerves. Most of this happens without you being aware. Imagine being aware of every command heartbeats… you’d go nuts. It said that a human has 60K thoughts a day… most of which you are unaware of. But some of these connections you are aware… conscious. So the wire cross in our brains, a thought is created and the energy travels via the spine and nerves to the rest of our body. These are felt in our bodies as sensations. Think here gut feelings, the tension in our shoulder, cold in our chest, butterflies… these are all sensations in our body that first were ignited by our brain and thoughts. These sensations are what we name as emotions. Emotions are the interpretation of these sensations. Our emotions are what ignites our actions. Think “gut reaction” … We take actions in life-based on how we feel... when we feel confident, we take bold actions, we ask the person we are attracted to out, we buy the things we’ve always been wanting…. We feel anxious… so, we mumble distorted words in the face of the person we like, we retract, we numb, we Netflix…. we eat. The choices are our reactions to our emotions is our actions. Moreover, the sum of our actions creates the reality we experience. That’s thought work. What you’ll learn listening to this episode on thought work to undiet your life:

| 279-Postpartum the Non-Diet Way with Jaren Soloff | 18 Mar 2021 | 00:38:44 | |
In my opinion, being pregnant, giving birth, and raising a child is the most magical power of women. In fact, our bodies as women are capable of creating life. That is to say, we have the power to bring another human to life. Can we let that sink in for a minute? We create life. Our bodies have the capacity to expand in such a way that we can create and develop another human life. Yet as soon as women are done giving birth to this new human, patriarchy and diet culture expect women to shrink back their body and leave absolutely no trace of this magical act. Diet culture has perfected a narrative that leaves women to feel shame for their postpartum bodies instead of being grateful for the goddess they are. Edna's story... it's difficult. Non-Diet PostpartumThe non-diet approach to postpartum is the space were women's bodies are celebrated for the magic they created without patriarchy and diet culture oppressing message. Our guest today is a non-diet postpartum expert. She's a dietician who herself gave birth. She decided to dedicate her career to helping other women approach their postpartum in a non-diet way. Jaren Soloff is a Registered Dietitian and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who combines her expertise as a skilled nutrition therapist and lactation consultant to support mothers in nourishing themselves and their babies with confidence. FULL CRCL provides nutrition counseling and lactation consultations to help both mom and baby thrive in motherhood to support them in navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum from a simple and intuitive framework.

| 278-Co-opting Intuitive Eating & Embodiment with Evelyn Tribole | 11 Mar 2021 | 00:48:59 | |
Co-opting intuitive eating is frustrating, problematic and dangerous, but it’s not a surprise. Intuitive eating is growing in popularity and growing fast. Take a look at the google trend search over the last 5 years. It’s clear: people are starting to be done with dieting. That is to say, people want out from diet culture and are looking for options. Certainly, the weight loss & wellness industry are paying attention. For instance, just think of Weight Watcher rebrand in 2019 to WW-Wellness that Works. Yet another sign of the growth in popularity of Intuitive Eating is when “popular” diet gurus are bluntly co-opting intuitive eating in their weight loss books without even an ounce of shame. In fact, I see the same growth in my professional training program. The waitlist is consistently 150% to program capacity for the last 12 months and no sign of stopping either. Spotting Fake Intuitive EatingI’m honored to welcome Evelyn Tribole to our podcast Going Beyond The Food Show to answer this question: How can we spot when diet culture is co-opting intuitive eating? Evelyn Tribole is a registered dietitian and the co-creator of Intuitive Eating. Moreover, she has written Intuitive Eating (co-author with Evelyn Resh). Her upcoming book, Intuitive Eating for Every Day: 365 Daily Practices & Inspirations to Rediscover the Pleasures of Eating will be available on March 16th, 2021.

| 277-You Don’t Have to Love Your Body | 04 Mar 2021 | 00:26:17 | |
Let’s look at a few questions: Do you think that the ultimate goal of making peace with your body is to love your body? I mean, being able to look at your body in the mirror and love every part of it? Perhaps you think that you should be able to put on a bikini and be able to show off your body to everyone looking with pride? Perhaps you think that when you finally “heal your body image,” it will mean that you’ll never have a negative thought about your body, and instead, you’ll have adoration thought for each part of your body. Is that you? Is this your current belief system when it comes to your body, body image, and body weight? It sure was me…. You don’t have to love your body.In today’s episode, we are going to share with you the reasons for this bold statement. NO, you don’t have to love your body to normalize weight gain or to adopt a non-diet lifestyle. In fact, you don’t have to love your body to become an intuitive eater or to make peace with your body. NO, you don’t have to love your body to heal your body image. What you need is Body Respect. What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

| 276-Coping with Weight Gain | 25 Feb 2021 | 00:26:55 | |
Weight gain is a very sensitive, vulnerable and emotional topic for most women. The ability and willingness to openly talk about weight gain is different for each one of us. It’s estimated that by the time most women hit their 45th birthday, statistically speaking, we’ve tried 61 diets, plans, programs, detoxes, cleanses, meal plans, regime, an eating system. In an unending battle to shrink our body and, hopefully, change our life. I want to recognize that simply tuning in to listen to this episode for someone is a huge step… if this is you, I see you and welcome you. For others who have taken the journey beyond the food and unlearn diet culture, this is a much easier and light topic… I see you too, my sister, and cheer you on. Coping with weight gainWeight gain is a difficult topic, a complicated topic and a very nuanced topic. By no means this one episode is a complete resource for the normalization of weight in women. This episode is meant only to be an introduction to the topic of coping with weight gain. I’ll be speaking about one aspect that I think, as women, we must first understand and integrate in order to release the fear of weight gain. What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

I have been wanting to talk about gentle nutrition for years but couldn’t or rather choose not to until now. I hold a great level of responsibility for the topic I chose to discuss on this podcast. Moreover, what could happen after the episode is over. In the case of intuitive eating & nutrition, I couldn’t send you to any entry-level resources beyond my own programs.

This is now past... the resource I have been awaiting is now here! Gentle Nutrition: A Non-Diet Approach to Healthy Eating BookYes, a book that combines intuitive eating & nutrition is now available. Gentle Nutrition: A Non-Diet Approach to Healthy Eating Cookbook is on the market since February 23rd, 2021.

| 273-Dieting Backlash, Rebound Eating & Emotional Eating | 04 Feb 2021 | 00:24:44 | |
Dieting backlash is the counter-reaction to food restriction, aka dieting. Things like "food cravings," urges to eat the restricted foods, nighttime eating, "overeating," binging, weight regain, depression, anxiety… that's all dieting backlash, also known as rebound eating. Here's where it gets interesting... women who deliberately restrict their food intake when under a diet are more likely to overeat, especially in response to an emotional state. What we think as emotional eating may actually be diet backlash or rebound eating. In a subconscious way, we give ourselves license to eat foods that are normally forbidden, and we use emotion as a way to give ourselves permission in the hope to lower the guilt of "not following the diet," we lay the blame on emotional eating. It's the self-fulfilling prophecy of dieting. Nothing has gone wrong. Nothing is wrong with you… it's biology. Here's what I propose... To reflect on these 4 questions:
I'm proposing these questions to you because I'm not here to tell you what you should do… but instead to give you a choice. What you’ll learn listening to this episode on dieting backlash:

| 272-Comfort Eating: Curiosity or Judgment | 28 Jan 2021 | 00:23:48 | |
Let's unpack comfort eating or eating for comfort. Comfort is defined as a state of ease and freedom from pain or constraint. When we eat for comfort, we feel uncomfortable; we don't want to feel discomfort, so we look for a solution to not feel comfortable and that solution is food. So we comfort eat. Sounds like a pretty legitimate action… it is a coping tool. It's a variation of the larger family of emotional eating- whereby you eat in response to an emotion. Most often, uncomfortable emotions like stress. Stress eating, comfort eating, emotional eating - all the same thing - using food to cope with physical or emotional discomfort. Why is it a problem to solve? Is comfort eating a problem?Let's imagine that same person feels the same level of discomfort, but instead of opening the fridge or the cupboard and reaching for food, that same person would say go for a run. Would it be a problem to solve? …. Interesting question, right?… but necessary. Especially as women, we must challenge all the beliefs we have learned about food, body and health. Remember that diet culture was created by Patriarchy in order to keep women obedient and insecure. Why is it that comfort eating is a problem to solve for women? What diet culture is telling us is that it will lead you to eat too much, eat the "bad food," and gain weight. Diet gurus will tell you that if you could only control your emotional eating, then their diet would work… and you'd be thin! Familiar… But here's my question to you: Would you even desire to eat to comfort yourself if we weren't relentlessly chasing the thin ideal??? Think about that for a minute?... How much of our discomfort physically and emotionally that we appease with food is caused by the relentless pursuit of the thin ideal, therefore diet culture A shit load of it... lol. Since this is a feminist podcast that promotes women empowerment with food and their body… I'm not going to teach to shame you for comfort eating or tell you that it is to be avoided. No… that's diet culture way. In this podcast episode, we will unpack this subject in a non-diet way... by asking WHY. What you'll learn listening to this episode:
