Explore every episode of the podcast Get INTUIT with Gila- a podcast about Intuitive Eating and Personal Growth.

In this episode of Get Into It with Gila, I sat down with therapist Suzy Charnas for a really deep and nuanced conversation about body image, motherhood, beauty, self-worth, and the messages girls absorb growing up. Susie shared her own personal experience struggling with body dysmorphia after growing up in a very small body and how that eventually led her to specialize in disordered eating and women’s mental health in her Brooklyn private practice. We spoke about how mothers influence the way their daughters see themselves, often without even realizing it, and how the way we speak about our own bodies becomes our children’s inner voice. One line Suzy said that really stayed with me was: “The way you speak to yourself is how your child will eventually speak to themselves.”We also got into the difference between body neutrality and body positivity, social media’s impact on teen girls, food and identity, autonomy around eating, and even the relationship between beauty, Judaism, and self-care. I especially appreciated Suzy’s perspective that beauty itself is not inherently shallow or bad, but that the real question is whether appearance is taking over your sense of self-worth. This conversation felt honest, validating, and incredibly important for parents, teens, clinicians, and honestly anyone trying to heal their relationship with food, body image, and themselves. Suzy works with teens, young women, and families in Brooklyn and also brings mental health education into schools and community settings. Reach out to Suzy at Suzy@charnastherapy.com.

Thanks for being here and have a wonderful day!

In this episode, I sit down with Caryn Gutman, an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist who works with clients in Cedarhurst and the Five Towns, both virtually and in person. We explore the fascinating overlap between therapy and nutrition work, and how compassionate, non-judgmental approaches can help people heal their relationships with food, body image, and themselves.

Caryn shares her journey into the therapy world, explaining how she discovered her passion for helping others at just seventeen years old. After considering careers in law and fashion design, she ultimately pursued therapy and trained in Internal Family Systems through IFS Israel. She also brings experience from working in domestic violence and foster care before specializing in IFS.

We talk about the core principles of Internal Family Systems Therapy, a model developed by Richard Schwartz, which views the mind as made up of different “parts.” Caryn explains how protective parts — like perfectionism, calorie counting, or rigid food rules — often develop to shield deeper emotional pain. Rather than fighting these parts, IFS invites curiosity, compassion, and understanding.

Our conversation also touches on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and how modern trauma therapies allow people to heal without needing to repeatedly verbalize or relive painful experiences. Caryn explains how healing can happen internally, with the therapist providing a witnessing presence that supports the process.

As a dietitian, I also reflect on the parallels between therapy and nutrition counseling. We discuss the importance of meeting clients where they are, avoiding black-and-white thinking around food and health, and recognizing when collaboration between therapists and dietitians can better support clients.

This episode highlights how powerful it can be when professionals approach healing with curiosity, humility, and compassion rather than judgment.

• What Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is and how it works

• The role of “protector parts” in behaviors like dieting or perfectionism

• Why trauma healing doesn’t always require retelling painful stories

• The overlap between therapy and intuitive eating work

• The importance of staying within professional scope and collaborating across fields

• How compassion and curiosity can transform the healing process

Caryn Gutman is an IFS therapist serving clients in Cedarhurst and the Five Towns area, offering both in-person and virtual therapy. She integrates Internal Family Systems and other trauma-informed approaches to help clients understand their internal world and move toward healing.

Caryn Guttman-Weber  is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who worked in the mental health field for 13 years and in private practice for over 8 of them. She  has years of experience working with individuals, couples  and families across a variety of settings. Caryn utilizes a mixture of approaches in her practice including: IFS, Family Systems Therapy, and Attachment based therapy. She created a premarital counseling education program.  She also has experience facilitating  groups including parenting and adolescent groups. Caryn is very invested in helping pre-teens, adolescents and  adults with many issues they deal with such as: sudden changes in behavior, self-esteem , trauma, relational challenges and learning and appreciating all the parts of one’s self.  Caryn regularly attends trainings to continue her education while practicing , she  has trained at the IFS Israel institute and the Ackerman Institute for the Family. She is committed to helping individuals, families, and couples in the community face the many challenges that can arise.

In this powerful and timely conversation, I sit down with Intuitive Eating co-founder Evelyn Tribole to explore the return of diet culture in the GLP-1 era. We talk about weight cycling, the “euphoria” of weight loss, what isn’t being discussed about long-term use of these medications, and why dignity and informed consent matter more than ever.

We also dive into how to protect your energy when talking about Intuitive Eating, how to plant seeds without burning out, and why real change can begin at your own kitchen table.

If you’re navigating body image, food freedom, or feeling confused in today’s weight-loss-obsessed culture, this episode is for you.

With Gila Glassberg & Rivky Boyarsky

In this episode, Gila speaks with Rivky, a midwife and college educator, about women’s health, body image, and education in the Orthodox Jewish community. Rivky shares her professional journey and personal experiences with weight and body image, and how cultural and generational messages shape the way women and girls relate to their bodies.

They discuss the importance of practicing what we preach around health and body image, especially because children learn from parents’ behaviors more than words. Gila and Rivky emphasize the need for open, ongoing conversations about bodies, puberty, and healthy touch to reduce shame and confusion.

The conversation also explores weight stigma in medical settings and challenges the idea that weight is a reliable measure of health. Rivky highlights holistic and personalized approaches to well-being that focus on nourishment, movement, and self-care rather than punishment. She also shares her work in women’s GYN care, her concierge practice in Brooklyn, and her passion for creating puberty education resources to help prevent body shame and eating disorders.

In this solo episode, Gila Glassberg reflects on personal experiences and recent life updates. She opens up about the birth of her daughter, Shulamis Tehila, and her progress on an upcoming ecookbook. Gila explores the cultural and emotional significance of food in Jewish traditions, particularly during Chanukah, while addressing the pressures of body image, societal expectations, and weight concerns. She also shares her reflections on a 2023 blog post about the connection between Chanukah, diet culture and anti-Semitism, emphasizing the importance of staying grounded in Jewish values and traditions.

Throughout the episode, Gila highlights the emotional role food plays in connecting people and stresses the importance of approaching food with joy and intuition, rather than fear or restriction.

Gila also opens up about her experiences as a mother, particularly her daughter Shulamis' arrival and how motherhood has shaped her approach to online sharing and privacy. She reflects on two inspiring books she read about women overcoming drug addiction, despite their controversial nature. Gila also introduces a blog post, "What's the Scariest Part of Chanukkah," which explores the deeper layers of the holiday.

Moving to Chanukah traditions, Gila explains the origins of eating fried foods, linking it to the miracle of the oil lasting for eight nights. She also touches on current events, particularly the rise in anti-Semitic sentiment following the October 2023 Hamas attack, and encourages her audience to focus on the true meaning of the holiday rather than societal pressures on food and body image.

Gila shares personal stories about her children, including her son's birth and how she chose her daughter’s name, Tehila, as a tribute to her late mother. She describes the importance of naming a child shortly after birth and reflects on the impact of her mother’s joy-filled life.

Gila updates listeners on her cookbook project, which includes easy, yummy, nutritious recipes and personal stories about the emotional and cultural significance of food. She shares a personal story about a recipe that went well and how the process of cooking brings her joy. Gila also touches on her evolution from struggling with food as a teenager to becoming a dietitian who creates family-friendly, emotionally nourishing recipes.

Further, Gila discusses how food connects people and how cultural meals, like those in Jewish traditions, hold deep meaning. She also shares a heartwarming note from a client who worked with her on body positivity and who named their daughter Penina, symbolizing transformation.

Finally, Gila talks about her journey to self-love and body positivity, highlighting the importance of food not just for nourishment, but for connection, joy, and emotional well-being. She briefly discusses her thoughts on weight loss medications like Ozempic, stressing that genuine connections are based on who we are, not our outward appearance.

As the episode wraps up, Gila reflects on the irony of avoiding fried foods during Chanukah, a holiday centered on oil, and ties it into her personal story. She closes by encouraging feedback and announcing the upcoming ecookbook project, inviting listeners to engage and collaborate.

PS- Here is the beautiful text my past client shared with me "We named our little girl Penina. Penina means a pearl. Formed quietly, deep within an oyster, protected and unseen, growing layer by layer until something precious and beautiful emerges. So too, this little girl grew inside of me in the most private, sacred way, and she entered the world in the quiet of our home — a beginning that was gentle, inward, and full of meaning. Carrying her and bringing her into the world felt like a climax to my self love and body positivity journey — the moment proved once more that my body is something powerful, capable, and beautiful. Penina reminds us that what’s inside matters most — her sweetness, her strength, her neshama — yet like a pearl, she is also beautiful on the outside, and we want her to grow up knowing and embracing both. Her name holds all of that: the quiet growth, the inner worth, the outer glow, and the hope that she will always feel at home in herself, just as she helped me feel at home in mine."

About Dr. Chaya Leiba Kopernick
Chaya Leiba Kopernick is a clinical psychologist, educator, and host of the Therapy Should Work Summit. She is passionate about evidence-based therapy, body image awareness, and helping individuals cultivate healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Our Conversation
Chaya Leiba and I spoke about body image, health, and motherhood—exploring what it means to prioritize well-being without tying it to body size. We discussed the resurgence of diet culture and the pressures surrounding thinness, especially with the rise of Ozempic. Together, we reflected on our experiences with pregnancy, body changes, and the discomfort that often comes with body-related comments.

We explored how “health” is frequently conflated with appearance, and how labeling foods as “healthy” or “unhealthy” can complicate our relationship with food—especially as mothers raising children. Chaya shared her balanced approach to nutrition, homemade meals, and consistent health routines, while we both emphasized that true health extends beyond body image.

Our conversation closed with reflections on self-acceptance, body diversity, and the importance of advocating for ourselves in the medical system while thinking critically about health trends.

Where Have I Been?

That is a great question. I must ask myself this question.

I have been busy with life. My personal life. My business. I have felt burnt out. I have just been living my regular life and taking a break from this podcast even though I absolutely love doing the podcast.

Here is just a short little tidbit about what's going on by me.

What's been going on with you? I would have to hear from you so reach out to me at gila@gilaglassberg.com with any questions/comments/concerns and podcast requests!

Thanks for listening and have a great day!

Chanie Wallin - the owner of Sorority Boutique, located in Lakewood NJ came on the podcast today. She shares her story with us of how this unique store came to be.

As you will hear, this really is a unique store. Chanie is 100% catering to the frum girls and women in the frum community by selling the exact same clothing as the non plus size stores. And why shouldn't we all have access to the same types of clothing and styles?

Sorority was born from Chanie's passion to fill a void in the fashion industry, providing stylish, youthful and fashionable designs for plus size women in a market where such options were scarce. Known for her commitment to exceptional customer service, Chanie creates welcoming and joyful shopping experiences, empowering her customers with confidence and style.

This store is the only of it's kind. People travel from near and far to shop for their entire wardrobe.

I appreciate Chanie's down to earth approach to body positivity. She firmly believes in dressing your best can help you feel your best. And I do agree with her! Check out the store here:

Today, Adina and I explore many topics. Starting from how she began her private practice as a PA out of her home to her opinion on Ozempic to balancing everything going on in her busy life.

What I love about Adina and what I was able to see as her patient as well as her colleagues is that she does not take a "one size fits all approach" at all! Every patient that she sees is a whole life and a whole story and she will treat them according. At the same time she is fast and efficient. She knows we are all busy with a lot to juggle so she will get you in and out of her office in no time.

Like Adina says herself "she is an adrenal junkie." She thrives on the busyness of her life and our whole community gets to benefit from that.

I didn't agree with everything Adina said regarding Ozempic. We all have a unique lens as to how we see the issue of weight loss drugs. I appreciate where she is coming from and we were able to respectfully disagree.

Still - I know some of you may not appreciate everything in this episode and I would love to hear your feedback. Never hesitate to reach out at gila@gilaglassberg.com with questions/comments/feedback and anything else!

Avinu Malkeinu- Our Father, Our King

The two dichotomist ways we refer to G-d during this time of year. Our father - a father wants only to do what's best for the child, but sometimes lacks the means. Our King - A King never lacks and has all the power to provide but doesn't always wish too.

Now- during this time- we draw strength from the year of October 7th.

Lauren came on the pod to share her experience going from a corporate mom to "work from home mom." Not only is she a "work from home" mom, her job is to help new mom's.

She understands the importance of a positive birthing experience for the mom, the baby & everyone else in mom's orbit.

You may have guessed that she didn't have the most positive birthing experience when she started out as a mom. This led her to look for answers for the positive birth she hoped &dreamed of. Now she helps women do the same.

We had a very honest conversation about all the ups & downs of becoming a mom. The intensity of pregnancy, birth and post partum. The things people don't like to talk about b/c they are scared they will look like they can't "do it all."

People are told 2 have babies but don't LOOK like you had a baby. People make comments about a pregnant body even though this may be the most vulnerable time for that pregnant mom and her body.

We wanted to shed light on these topics. I think Lauren is providing an amazing service. I think many people may shy away from this - thinking maybe its a luxury or it makes them week to ask for help. I strongly believe looking at a whole person when caring for them and things that will help them in the future are needs and not luxuries. Asking for help makes you strong and self aware, NOT WEAK.

Enjoy the episode! I can't wait to hear your feedback!

A bit about Lauren:

Hello wonderful listeners of mine.

You may (or may have not) realized that I have not been able to put out a podcast for a few weeks.

Life is busy right?!

I wanted to shamelessly plug my podcast here for a second.

Recently, a former client wrote me this text: "Hi Gila, just wanted to share something with you that I know you’ll enjoy. I just realized today that I am marrying off my son soon and didn’t spend any of the wedding prep time dieting or hoping to fit into a smaller size. I’m continuing to eat the same intuitively as I was before the engagement and not stressed at all about losing the weight. My mind is cleared out in a way that I can enjoy all the wedding prep with out the diets taking up my brain space. Thanks Gila for helping reach this milestone."

I know that the work of Intuitive Eating is life changing. I know it has the ability to completely change our life's trajectory and allows us to learn skills that help us day to day.

I really want to continue putting out this podcast but it takes A LOT of TIME! I would be so grateful and humbled if you'd want to sponsor an episode or become a monthly subscriber for a nominal fee. You can do so here. And I know that is a lot to ask. So even if you cannot do this at this time, please continue to leave ratings and reviews and share the podcast! That is extremely helpful too!!

Thanks for being here!

Now- Dr. Marcy Forta has been on this podcast before. She just recently published a book! The name of the book is "How can I Help my Daughter?" All of us who have daughters- don't we all need this book!

(Here is the link to the first podcast I did with Dr. Forta)

I am so excited to read it and help spread the word. Dr. Forta has struggled with an eating disorder herself and now she is on a mission to really spread awareness and help with the prevention of eating disorders through her amazing curriculum and speaking engagements.

I invite you to listen to this episode with an open heart and if it resonates with you, buy the book to help empower yourself through these conversations we MUST have with our children.

I am just going to be honest, I really like Tamari! I have seen her a lot on Instagram and I recently met her in person at Kosher Palooza. She is sweet, warm and also a lot of fun.

I was excited to have her come on the podcast.

I think this podcast really encapsulates the concept that we can actively being accepting something while also hoping for it the change.

This can be a common theme in life. On the one hand, we feel very stuck when we cant accept what is. On the other hand, we are always allowed to dream and hope for more.

I think this connects to the day after Tisha Baav. Where we are yearning so badly for a brighter future. And at the same time, we accept G-d's decree because we know that we don't know and He does know.

I know you'll love this episode and Tamari.

A bit about Tamari:

Tamari Jacob is a Certified Lactation Counselor, wife, mom of three and the founder of One With The Pump.  She has helped thousands of moms learn how to pump better and she is on a mission to help every mom become a confident mother pumper through her free resources, live workshops, educational courses and consultations. _______________________

Bracha Goetz is the author of 42 Jewish books that help children shine and a candid memoir for adults, Nourish the Soul: Filling the Emptiness Within, documenting developing and overcoming food addictions along with her journey to joy in Judaism.  Her books can be found in Jewish bookstores, on Amazon, and at www.goetzbookshop.com. Bracha came on today to share her journey with her unhealthy relationship with food and how finding Judaism filled that void for her.

We often use food to help us cope with hard things in life. And yes, sometimes, that can be the best thing we can give ourselves. But sometimes we just keep filling ourselves up with food in the hopes of removing the pain - but that is never the real answer.

Follow Bracha's amazing story on this episode!

I know how hard this is because in many ways, us Intuitive Eating practitioner are still swimming upstream. But it is amazing to hear other peoples story's and how they really show honesty and integrity.

Tzivi Polatoff Azos, also know as my first cousin, has a real story to share with you.

*Trigger warning- eating disorders and mental illness are discussed explicitly in this episode. Viewers discretion advised.

I questioned which podcast would be best to put out the week before Pesach. I chose this one for a few reasons.

Number 1- it's very important and informative, especailly going into a long holiday with people close to us. We have to be careful with the words we use and the conversations we have.

Number 2- it's actually a fun, light conversation for the most part, so you'll enjoy while your cleaning cheerios out of the radiator or wiping caked on ices off your kitchen walls (obviously that doesn't happen to me :)

Number 3- Pesach is about being redeemed from slavery. Its the Holiday of freedom. We have brothers and sisters actually trapped in Gaza right now.

And in our own hearts, we have barriors that hold us back from living our best lives. Wether its diet culture and the need to fit in. Maybe its food, not being able to stop eating when you really want to, the energy is the air is freedom.

Use this time to reflect on something in your life that is holding you back in a way you are ready to change. Commit to something small. I believe that change is all about baby steps.

I hope you can use Tzivi's story to gain insparation and move forward with your life! Enjoy and have a wonderful Pesach. May we be zocha to greet mashiach bmhara byamenu.

Hi all. As Purim gets closer and closer, people get more intense about their fear of food. I absolutely love Ahuva's approach to food. It is so wholesome and positive- which is very much aligned with my approach to food.

In this episode, we discuss Ahuva's love and passion for understanding where our food comes from. This is really a love and passion of mine as well, and one of the reasons I chose to become a dietitian. Especially now that I practice from an Intuitive Eating approach versus dieting, I know that positively relating to our food is so good for our physical and mental health.

This was a great episode and I know you will enjoy it!

Here is a bit about Ahuva: Ahuva Gottdiener of Homegrown Kosher is a foodie dissident. Bridging the food knowledge gap between ground and plate, Ahuva shares her fascination with the fundamentals through education, inspiration, and connection. Widely lauded as an artisan sourdough baker and authentic suburban homesteader, she raises chickens, honeybees, and veggies with her family in Wesley Hills, NY. Ahuva's love for our sustenance's origins fuels her mission of connection. To learn more about Ahuva you can follow her on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, and YouTube @homegrownkosher and read the blog at ⁠homegrownkosher.com⁠ ___________ If you are looking to make peace with food through the intuitive eating process, you can reach out to work with me one-on-one or you can sign up for my group counseling (email me at gilaglassberg18@gmail.com to be added to the next group). This will include weekly Zoom calls, a private WhatsApp community with like-minded women, and more support from me!

Elisheva is on for round 2! Instead of just talking about somatic therapy, we did some experiential learning. I think that finding other modalities of working directly with your body can make a huge impact on your intuitive eating journey and can definitely help you feel more at peace with your body.

Enjoy!

Shira Fruchter is back for another episode. I thought this was such a fun topic to explore. If you have been listening to this podcast for a while, you know how much I value getting therapy and the right treatment for each individual person. Shira uses the IFS (Internal Family System) model in her counseling. As she has said before on this podcast, she is a purist. This is the modality she likes and she sticks to it.

Shira and I have all these great conversations outside of recording a podcast and this one stood out to us. So we decided to try to pull it apart here on the podcast.

If you do go to therapy, and ironically, if you go for symptoms of anxiety, you may experience anxiety about your therapy session - according to Shira, this is totally normal.

I hope this episode helps normalize this experience for you and also helps you feel more at ease going into a therapy session.

Check out the first episode I did with Shira here: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gila-glassberg/episodes/Internal-Family-Systems-IFS-with-Shira-Fruchter--How-Does-Overeating-Protect-Us-e1geeqo

__________________________

Here is a bit about Shira:

Shira Fruchter, MSW, currently maintains a private practice in Jerusalem for adult women and couples. She is an IFS level 3, certified clinician and supervisor. In addition, she teaches IFS introductory workshops both in person and on zoom. Shira is looking forward to the upcoming release of her book on IFS and Judaism. (YAY!)

Adina is a fellow Intuitive Eating counselor. Adina, very openly and vulnerably shares her story through diet culture and how much it negatively effected her life. Now that she is on the other side, and has reclaimed and expanded so much of her life, she comes on to share her story. Enjoy!

________________________

Adina Meister is a Baltimore native, wife and mother of two. With over a decade of experience as a psychiatric nurse in both inpatient and outpatient settings, she has passionately dedicated herself to the promotion of positive mental health.

Adina has navigated her own personal journey, seeking ways to lead a happy and meaningful life. Despite implementing numerous positive mental health tools into her daily routine, she faced persistent challenges related to food and body image, such as obsessing over food rules and feeling out of control around food. Around five years ago, Adina's life took a transformative turn when she discovered Intuitive Eating. This approach enabled her to let go of years of dieting, make peace with food and her body, and fully embrace her life. She recently earned her Intuitive Eating certification, empowering her to guide other women wrestling with similar challenges, enabling them to break free from diet rules and develop a peaceful relationship with food and their bodies.

Every person who develops an eating disorder has a story to tell. Many people develop eating disorders as a way to show they have control over their lives. They may be in desperate need of attention from those around them. Maybe they just need something of their own, and an eating disorder is all they have.

Believe me when I say, their are many, many reasons. Jenna joined me today to full pull about the development of her eating disorder and also her road of recovery.

I think this is a really important interview to hear whether you are a human or a human raising humans, it is critical to know how eating disorders develop and even better, how to prevent many of them.

But Jenna does not only share her story of perseverance through an eating disorder, she has been through many challenges through perseverance and strength and their is much we can gain from her.

A bit about Jenna:

Jenna Zelka is a high school Tanach teacher and School Social Worker at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School in Great Neck, NY. Jenna received her Bachelor's degree in Judaic Studies with a concentration in Jewish Education from Yeshiva University. She has held various positions teaching Judaic studies, AP Psychology, and has been the Director of Israel Guidance at Yeshiva high schools for the past ten years. She has even taught Taekwondo as an alternative to gym class for high school girls (yes, she has a black belt). She is committed to meeting the diverse learning needs of every student who enters her classroom and strives to deliver both spiritual and social-emotional guidance. 

After several years of teaching, Jenna recognized that many students were gravitating towards her for advice in their personal lives and decided to pursue another degree. She enrolled in Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service, where she graduated with her MSW and received her state license soon after. In addition to seeing her students at school, Jenna treats clients in a private practice setting on evenings and weekends. 

Jenna lives in West Hempstead, NY with her husband Aaron, and their three year old daughter, Samara. If you’re interested in speaking with her, she can be reached by email at Spector.jenna@gmail.com or by phone at 718-551-4987. ________________________

Hello Everyone! I am sharing a very short solo episode today. These are my thoughts around Chanukah this year. I hope it helps and resonates! Please share your feedback, comments and questions. Please leave a rating and review if you have enjoyed this podcast. Thank you! And a Freilichen Chanukah!

Here is most of the blog: To see the full blog, click here: https://gilaglassberg.com/whats-the-scariest-part-of-chanukah-2023/

"As Chanukah is about to settle in here, I found my mind swirling with ideas. 

First thing that comes to mind- Fear.

I think of fear because I know so many people have a huge fear around Chanukah - DONUTS, LATKES, FRIED OREOS, FRIED PICKLES. Everything is fried. And you know what that means. Everything is toxic right?

If you eat fried food for 8 days, obviously, that's gross. That's bad - isn’t it?

Wait- hold on- aren’t we supposed to eat fried food?

Now I am confused….

Let’s go down memory lane together, shall we.

Why do we as jews, eat fried food on Chanukah?

Ok, I am no historian, but I believe these are the general facts: as with many Jewish holidays- someone wanted to kill us. The beis hamikdash was desecrated. There was only enough oil to light the Chanukah candles for 1 night, and the oil lasted 8 nights.

We won the war!

Therefore, we have 8 nights of Chanukah, and we also have 8 nights of lighting oil and of course eating oil.

How can we guarantee we eat the most amount of oil- we fry things in oil!!!!!! Ding, ding, ding- you got it!

Ok, let’s talk about our enemy- yavan. 

What were some of the characteristics of yavan? Well - they didn’t believe in the holiness of  the soul. They believed in glorifying the body. They believed the way someone looked on the external, very much defined how someone was internally. 

Is this a Jewish value- hmmm, let me think, I think NOT.

Hmmmm, fast forward to 2023- what are we afraid of this Chanukah?

Are we afraid of donuts? Latkes? Oil? Weight gain?

Are we afraid of our enemies surrounding us on all sides?

Why does antisemitism exist in the world? Anyone know? For all of us watching the news and scratching our heads, and just wondering with all of our heart and soul and might, how on earth can the world see this as Israel's fault - let’s look at the facts that we know as Jews.

First of all, this is what we all know ensued. Hamas terrorists (and many other terrorists), try to kill and annihilate the jews. We have power over Israel, and all around Israel are Arab countries. We have a tiny strip of land for the jews. Why did this come about? Because in the 1930s/40’s Hitler somehow managed to convince an entire country to hate us and kill us. 6 million jews later, it was decided that jews need a safe place to go.

Now we have Israel. But the Palestinian don’t want us to have Israel, they want all the Arab countries and Israel. So where should we go?

How about this, on Oct 7th 2023- Hamas terrorists invade innocent civilian populations and not only kill, they mutilate, behead, dismember, and burn people alive. Some 1200 people that is. The worst massacre in a day since THE HOLOCAUST. 

Now it’s December 7th, and the entire world has turned on—-wait for it—-not Hamas- not the terrorists that killed, mutilated, beheaded, dismembered and burned people alive- some 1200 people. Not the people that surround Israel and threaten them on a daily basis.

It’s… the Jews. 

So let’s get back to antisemitism.

Do you know that G-d told us that when we assimilate, when we take on values that are not Jewish values, the rest of the world will come up against the jews. They know we are different, but we don’t know, we don’t remember that we are different. 

Are our Jewish values - that the way that we look defines us? Are our Jewish values to categorize someone (including ourselves) based on if we do or don’t eat FRIED food on Chanukah- you know, like the food we use to commemorate the miracle Hashem performed for us!"

started her journey into the pelvic health world. Sara has mentored under some of the best in the field

and has taken numerous courses to specialize in Women's Health. She owns a practice in Staten Island called Orchid PT.

Hi everyone!

I know it is so hard to go about regular life right now!

I am putting out this episode for a few reasons. Number one, we all need something interesting's to listen to.

Number two- please send in your stories or questions! I am happy to address them here on the podcast.

Number 3- I wanted to share my thoughts/feelings and experience in my own life right now.

Here is the email I received from Shoshana:

"Hi Gila! I've actually been wanting to contact you for a long time. My name is Shoshana Levison. We're about the same age, and I grew up in the US (New Jersey). I love the podcast and it gives me a lot of strength, especially when I am surrounded by diet culture in my extended family. Thankfully, I was actually introduced to intuitive eating (by my mom! I was very lucky B"H) at around the age of 15 and I've been practicing it since then. So it's been a while! I've been wanting to talk about what an impact that made on me, and how I feel like it's been such a great compass in my life through the many twists and turns that my life has taken- From being in shidduchim for a while, getting a chronic illness as an adult, B"H getting married but then not getting pregnant right away, being told I have PCOS and need to lose weight (spoiler alert- I didn't), then B"H pregnancy but with a moderate form of hyperemesis gravidarum/severe nausea and vomiting...Like you say, it's about a lot more than just the food. I thought it might be interesting for listeners to hear from someone who has been practicing this lifestyle since I was a teenager. My family made Aliyah around that time as well (when I was 16). Baruch Hashem I now live in Ramat Beit Shemesh with my husband and young kids. I can also talk about how we are doing here and how I've been implementing the concepts during a time of war when stress is at an all time high. I am also a certified Teacher and have taught in schools here. I also trained in EFT with Rabbi Legomsky from the Israel Trauma Center. Basically, there's a lot I can talk about  Let me know if you are interested!We consider ourselves chareidi, but my husband actually served in the army before we got married and now works in security. Many of his co-workers have been called up for reserves so he is doing a lot of extra shifts the past few weeks. And my kids are not having regular gan...So basically I don't have a lot of time in which to speak with you live, although that would be great. I really agree with a lot of things that you speak about and have been wanting to talk for a while! Was thinking maybe I can record something for your audience, or maybe we can find a time that works for both of us (I think for me it would only work after 9:30 pm here which is the afternoon by you, so don't know if that works for you) 
Anyway let me know what you think!

Shoshana Levison

A Few Words of Hope and Strength During this Difficult Time. I don't really have the words. I just wanted to share my own thoughts in case it was helpful to anyone. Please email me at gilaglassberg18@gmail.com or what's app me at 570-878-3642 if you wanted me to cover a topic in this area or you would like to share something as well. Wishing us all strength and iyh Masiach should come NOW!

Many people believe that individuals who struggle with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) need to just restrict their carb intake. Think again.

Listen in from the expert herself on what is PCOS, what do we know about it and what do we NOT know about it. How to manage it. And so much more. A bit about our guest:

After sobbing in her boss’s office 20 years ago, Julie Duffy Dillon taught her last diet. Once she saw the anti-fat bias and diet harm, she couldn't unsee it. She is a seasoned dietitian trained as a mental health counselor and podcast host of Find Your Food Voice®. Featured on TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Julie helps people with a complicated relationship with food better access non diet tools like Intuitive Eating and strategize how to remove the shame and blame dumped on them from diet culture. Julie holds a MS degree in Community Counseling, is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Supervisor. Learn more about Julie at JulieDuffyDillon.com

Neima and I had such a great conversation. To me, her story is about belief in yourself, perseverance, and the "Everything is figureoutable" mentality. She followed her passion to create the life she wanted and here she is today. I also find this parallel between seeing the beaty in modesty with the same concepts of Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size, and the body positive movement.

Their are so many layers and nuances to these topics. The goal is to really check in with yourself and see what fits you best, physically, spiritually and emotionally. The more you try on clothing and ideas that are aligned with your value system, the better you feel about yourself. When you feel true to yourself, and you take the focus off of just your externals, you just feel better about yourself and start to exude confidence.

Neima Bluth is a dynamic momtrepeneur who found her passion at the intersection of fashion and wellness. As the founder of a modest clothing business, Modest Necessities, she constantly conveys deep messages and meaning within her marketing to make "getting dressed," so much more than a superficial activity. Balancing the demands of motherhood and entrepreneurship, Neima’s journey began with a desire to empower women who sought stylish yet modest apparel without breaking the bank. Her goal was for women and girls to look and feel their best both inside and out. Armed with creativity and determination, she transformed her small startup into an international brand, advocating for self-expression without compromising on cultural and religious values. Beyond her modest fashion endeavors, Neima shares her love for wholesome living and meaningful eating on her food blog @smartkosherfoodie Watch her humorous and relatable reels @modestnecessitiesdotcomShop on her website: modestnecessities.com

Blimie Heller: How to Incorporate ALL Foods into our Lives and our Children's Lives - LIVE on Instagram!(Part 1)

Blimie, from @unconditional_parenting started posted on her stories regarding allowing unlimited access to candy for her children. I truly appreciated her bringing the Division of Responsibility to so many peoples attention so I just sent her a quick DM saying "thank you for spreading this." The next thing I knew, we were on a live for an hour and a half and we definitely could have kept going!

So we did decide to do a part two, all about Blimie's journey through Intuitive Eating which I absolutely loved recording!

Blimie has so much to share and I felt really honored that she had me on.

We discuss how to create a sense of calm around food for ourselves and for our children, which to me is one of the most important goals!

If you'd like to learn more about Blimie, check out her page on Instagram @unconditional_parenting.

If you'd like to sign up for 1-1 counseling, you can fill out my application here https://gilaglassberg.com/video-application/ I will be accepting 5 people for a group coaching starting in January so you can just email me if you are interested!

Blimie Heller is back on the podcast to tell us about her actual journey through Intuitive Eating. In our first episode, we discussion the feeding dynamic with children, but lets face it, if we don't work on our own relationship with food and our bodies, we can't do much for our children.

This is a very important step. To actually learn what Intuitive Eating is (And what it is not), and go at your own pace. Start slow if you need to. In Blimie's case, you will hear, that she actually hit diet rock bottom after dieting for so long so this came more naturally to her. Yes, of course, their were challenges then and their still continues to be, but she has come so far in her a journey and she does feel so much freer now! 

That is one of my favorite things to hear! That making peace with food and going through the Intuitive Eating process actually makes you feel so much freer. Why do we need to stay stuck in this fear spiral around food. Food is not meant to be this big, scary monster that follows us around our whole lives. Food is meant to be a positive part of our lives.

I know it's scary but I also know you can do it!

If you are looking to make peace with food through the intuitive eating process, you can reach out to work with me one on one or you can sign up for my group counseling beginning this January!

So you know when you work really hard at something? You spend hours, blood, sweat and tears to try to make a difference in this world. And you are just not quite sure if anyone is listening or gaining from it.

Well this is honestly how I do know people are listening and it's not only making a difference's in some ones personal life, but also in their work as a psychologist. BH- I really just want to spread the word and help put diet culture to rest :) It would mean to world to me if you did leave a rating a review and share it with those who can benefit from it :)

Here is the some of the beautiful email I received from Peryl:

This email is way waayy overdue. I stumbled across your podcast back when I first discovered podcasts (at the beginning of covid - so at least 3 years ago now) - I think you were mentioned or interviewed by the founder of Havah tribe maybe? I had heard of intuitive eating here and there from a few friends and relatives of mine but was slightly cynical about what I [thought I knew] about it. I just loved your style and interviews and was quickly hooked by your show. Your podcasts have been the soundtrack to so many late-night cleaning sessions and commutes to work. Thank you thank you thank you for introducing me to intuitive eating. Thanks to you, I bought both the book and the workbook, have worked my way through most of both, and certainly have a completely different attitude towards food and body image. Listening to you truly changed my relationship with food and with so many aspects surrounding that, and I am so grateful for what you put out into the world.

And a 3rd reason to email - as a psychologist, one of my specialties is CBT for anxiety and depression, so since my early days of training I've also come across a number of patients with related or stand-alone binge eating disorder. When I first began training, I used straightforward CBT for BED as a treatment model. Recently, with my new love for intuitive eating, I began incorporating intuitive eating psychoeducation and principles into treatment for BED. I just had a session last night with one of these patients and was absolutely blown away by the incredibly powerful changes she has made in her life and attitude towards food in just a few sessions of work, thanks to the power of the intuitive eating approach.

Here is a recent testimonial: "I thought I knew everything I needed to know about intuitive eating. I read the book, so what more was there to know?

Then, when I was ready to sign up with Gila I realized that there was so little that I knew. Gila took me through the journey of getting to understand my relationship with food. My triggers and reactions. After a few sessions with Gila, and doing her group coaching, I got to have a greater understanding of my relationship with food, make peace with my body, make peace with food and learn how to approach food from a loving place that is nurturing. I am so grateful that I gave myself this gift of intuitive eating."
