078. What Are You Putting Off Until You Lose Weight?07 Jun 202400:24:29

How long have you been waiting to feel your best? Do you feel like you have to change your body FIRST before you can feel or be healthy? 


This week a client of mine said to me, “I’m taking actions to feel healthy now and am no longer waiting to lose 20 lbs first.” And this shift made her feel so much more empowered than being stuck in the narrative of, “I just need to wait until my body is smaller, then I can do the things in alignment to how I want to live my life.” And I want to chat with you about it! 


In this episode, we chat about: 

  • Why it makes sense to feel like you have to ‘wait for weight loss’ to take action

  • How you can actually feel healthy, happy, confident, etc. before (even without) losing weight
  • Some real life examples of how one of my clients is making these shifts
  • The question I want you to ask yourself

In this episode, we chat about: 

  • Savana’s unique approach to body image healing work

075. Is Your Self Worth Tied to Food & Your Body?17 May 202400:36:19

Do you feel like you’re only worthy of doing certain things if you eat “well”? Or do you feel like you’re only deserving of rest if you’ve already done a certain type of workout? OR do you feel like can’t embody or have confidence until your body is smaller, different, or more toned?


If you said yes to any of the above (or if you’re thinking “I’ve never thought of that, maybe!”) then chances are you may be tying your self-worth to food & your body. This is something that many of my clients (and my past self included) struggle with. It’s what diet culture and society at large teach us to think like – you need to “prove” your worthiness by eating “good,” exercising “the right way,” or having your body look a certain way. 


That ends here. It’s time to remember that you’re inherently worthy of all the things that you desire, no changes required. 


In this episode, we chat about: 

  • What self-worth is, and what it means to me
  • Why we tie our self worth to food & our bodies 
  • The inherent worthiness we all have 
  • How to untangle your self worth from food or your body 
  • 5 steps to shift your limiting beliefs 
  • Self image and how it’s related to self worth

070. Anti-Diet Does Not Mean Anti-Health12 Apr 202400:42:09

I’ll take any opportunity to call out diet culture BS when I see it. The recent Washington Post article “As obesity rises, Big Food and dietitians push ‘anti-diet’ advice” has quite frankly p*ssed me off, and I want to talk about it with you! There is a large systemic issue at hand when it comes to Intuitive Eating, Health At Every Size (HAES), and weight-inclusive non-diet work. Biased publications, like the Washington Post, are spreading ignorant and misinformed information about what “anti-diet” really means. 


This makes me the most frustrated because I can only imagine how confusing it must be to see headlines like this when you are someone who is trying to pursue your relationship with food & body healing journey. So in this episode, I want to set the record straight. Let’s dive into some big myth busting about anti-diet work! 


I chat with you about:

  • The recent Washington Post article on “anti-diet dietitians” 
  • What people often get wrong when they think about anti-diet or intuitive eating
  • How anti-diet does NOT mean eating twinkies in unlimited amounts
  • Anti-diet DOES mean improving your well-being – physical, mental, emotional, overall! 
  • What Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, weight-inclusive care, anti weight bias, etc. are really about 
  • How oppressive, inequitable, and harmful weight-centric ways of approaching health can be
  • Restrictive diets often leading to weight cycling and/or disordered eating, or even eating disorders 
  • How a surface-level look at intuitive eating is not helpful, it’s very nuanced 
  • To not rely on social media solely for support in your health & well-being 
  • And so so much more.

066. I Was Craving Vegetables. Is That Even Possible?! Intuitive Eating IRL Example15 Mar 202400:27:53

Have you ever thought it was nearly *impossible* to actually CRAVE veggies? I used to think the same. I craved the sweets all the time – the chips, the chocolate, the cookies, the ice cream… but how could I possibly crave vegetables?

Back when my past self was on-and-off diets, non-stop eating sweets into the evening, and trying to be as “good” as possible during the day, I didn't think anyone could actually want to eat more vegetables. But last weekend I was really craving veggies. And I want to chat with you about it! 

This episode is a good example of what intuitive eating can look like in real life. I’m sharing a lot about where I used to be and how I got to this point where I can feel so at peace with all foods, that I actually crave vegetables. 

I chat with you about: 

  • What my life looked like when I was stuck in the diet-binge cycle
  • My negative past relationship with food 
  • How things changed for me and what life looks like now in my intuitive eater era 
  • My now positive relationship with food 
  • Why I was craving vegetables 
  • What was going through my mind and how I responded to the “craving” for veggies
  • How this is very different than the diet mentality

052. Human Design as a Tool for Building Self Trust with Rowan Asad03 Nov 202300:57:20

Self trust. Something that is so important to living a full, authentic, intuitive life, but is also something that can be super tricky to foster. Especially when we may have gone years and years with dieting and breaking our self trust by “not sticking to the plan” or “eating unhealthy” or whatever other messages you’ve learned to believe from diet culture. 

Dieting erodes our self trust. But don’t fret – choosing a more intuitive path and healing your relationship with food and with yourself allows you to rebuild that self trust. Even better yet is using different tools and modalities to rebuild and foster a greater sense of self trust. Tools like human design! In this episode, we’re chatting with human design expert Rowan Asad. This is a juicy one!

We chat about: 

  • What human design really is 
  • How to figure out your human design
  • Using human design to rebuild self-trust
  • Intuition and self compassion 
  • The different energy types and authorities of human design (don’t worry we cover what the heck that means too, haha!) 
  • Some fun things like how digestion, environment, and much more
  • And of course, how all of this relates to your intuitive eating journey

What causes us to do the things we do? Get the results we get? And feel the way we feel? It’s a little bit of a complex answer, but a big piece of this puzzle boils down to our mindset

If you know a thing or two about me, it’s no surprise to you that I LOVE all things mindset work.

And build the relationship with food that allows us to live the lives we’re meant to.

We will chat about:

  • Thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and core beliefs

085. Healthcare is Political, but Health Isn’t with Shana Minei Spence, MS, RDN, CDN02 Aug 202400:47:51

It can feel beyond frustrating to live in the diet culture infested world that we live in. Adding in the layers of healthism, elitism, discrimination, racism, and more can make it feel like a nightmare to attain society’s unrealistic ideals of “health.” In this episode, our guest Shana Spence and I break down these big systemic problems, shed light on them, and talk about how you can overcome them.

She describes herself as an "all foods fit" dietitian and creates a platform for open discussion on nutrition and wellness topics that are inclusive, non-diet, and weight-neutral, all with an intersectionality of social justice.


In this episode, we chat about: 

  • The important factors of health that are overlooked 
  • Why ‘healthcare is political, health is not’ 
  • Healthism and how it might be impacting you
  • How diet culture contributes to social justice issues like elitism, discrimination, and more
  • Stigma, xenophobia, and racism surrounding cultural foods
  • Processed foods and why they aren’t the ‘big bad thing’ you may think they are
  • What you as an individual can do to work through all these systemic diet culture issues

047. Freedom with Food, Movement, and Body: Merrill’s Journey08 Sep 202301:08:14

Apply to Embodied Food Freedom here


Have you found yourself in the place of wanting to jump into an intuitive eating journey, but feeling fearful of not knowing what would happen to your weight? Maybe you still want to lose weight, but at the same time, you know that you don’t want to keep fighting your body anymore. 

Meet Merrill, a graduate of the Embodied Food Freedom group coaching program. Before she joined, her journey started as being a binge eater since she was a pre-teen, trying to do all the “right” things with eating, being stuck in the comparison trap to others, what they ate & their bodies, feeling so entrenched in diet culture, and just not feeling comfortable or in control around food. While working through the FREEdom Method in the EFF program, Merrill was able to change her relationship with food to look more like: eating intuitively, not feeling guilty about food, knowing what to do if the inner food police voice does creep in, ditching the scale and external validation from it, found joy in movement again, and so much more! 

If you can at all relate to those struggles or shifts, please take episodes like this one where we chat about someone’s real-life-journey as an example that YOU can do this too. 


We chat about:

  • The fears Merrill had before joining EFF
  • How much diet culture impacts our entire lives
  • This food freedom journey not being a “perfect” one, and how there’s no final destination, but great life-changing shifts along the way
  • The journey to ditching the scale 
  • Taking her power back with food, movement & her body image
  • How she shifted to having less food-related stress, thoughts, and urgency 
  • What Merrill loved about the EFF program
  • And her advice for YOU!
