Diet Culture Rebel Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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.
