| 428: Energy Hygiene Practices You Can Do Starting Today to Come Home to Your Body with Special Guest, My Sister, Kat Beck | 06 Jun 2023 | 00:35:32 | |
We are big fans here at Nourishing Women Podcast of talk therapy and mindset work, but as I study and coach on body image work, the more fascinated and focused I become on integrating body work into my own practice. But if you are disconnected from your body, possibly controlling your food intake or experiencing negative body image, in can be SO challenging to come back in to your body. So in today’s episode, I asked my sister, Kat Beck, to come on the show to give us all energy hygiene practices we can all do (myself included!) to come back home to your body. Kat Beck of mystic medicine is an intuitive healing guide + embodiment artist. She’s on a mission to make energy hygiene + embodied movement practices accessible for all.

| 427: Is Set Point Theory Fat Phobic with Body Image Expert Bri Campos | 30 May 2023 | 00:42:00 | |
Set point theory is a VERY popular discussed conversation in the anti-diet space, and one of the most common topics discussed with clients in our virtual practice. When working with clients, we can get into the nuance behind why we get focused on “finding” our set point, but that can be harder to do for you, my wonderful podcast community! So I asked body image expert, Bri Campos, to come on the show today to discuss some of that nuance to set point theory and why we often fixate on it in hopes it may mean we will lose weight as an intuitive eater. We also talk to fellow coaches and providers in this episode, giving you lots to think about if you work in the body image space. Listen to today’s episode to learn more! Brianna (or Bri) Campos is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of NJ. She works as a body image coach & is passionate about teaching women about Health at Every Size (HAES) and taking an all foods fit approach to finding freedom with food and learning to make peace with your current body.

| 423: Self Compassion as the Antidote to Self Criticism & Negative Body Talk | 02 May 2023 | 00:15:16 | |
Self compassion may sound loving and helpful as you connect back into your body and learn how to respect it, but what exactly does it mean to be compassionate with yourself? We’ll explore the concept of self compassion in this specific episode, and also address a common misconception with self compassion, that being compassionate with ourselves doesn’t allow us to accomplish things or be successful in life. There’s a pervasive concept in our culture that in order to have what you desire- whether that’s health, or success, or happiness, that we need to be harsh and critical in order to be successful. And this is simply not true. Listen to today's podcast episode to learn more! A few important announcements:

| 420: 5 Stages of Body Grief (Do You Know What Stage You’re In?) | 12 Apr 2023 | 00:20:32 | |
Do you relate to the idea of grieving your body? Have you ever heard this term before, body grief? We know that for SO many of our clients, the term body grief finally offers a description of how they feel IN their bodies. It offers language to the challenging emotions you feel about your body.
Grief is a challenging and intricate emotion. Our emotions affect our ability to care for ourselves, and experiencing grief is no different.
Grief will absolutely affect how we care for our bodies. This is why it’s important to allow ourselves to grieve and mourn what is lost, even if that means grieving the idea of a body that we never actually had. We grieve the loss of our “ideal” body. We grieve the loss of the fantasy of what a perfect body will give us in our lives.
This is where I often tell clients that the only way out is through. Through the grief, through the pain, through the disappointment and frustration. Listen to today’s episode to learn more about body grief including the 5 stages of body grief so you can identify the specific stage you’re in.

| 419: 3 Mistakes You May Be Making When it Comes to Hunger & Fullness | 04 Apr 2023 | 00:17:16 | |
Intuitive eating is a dynamic integration of instinct, emotion and rational thought. We eat (and stop eating) in large part due to hunger and fullness cues. But body cues are not the ONLY reason we eat!
One of the biggest misconceptions I see about intuitive eating is that you only eat what you are craving 100% of the time and that it's just simply “listening to your body”. While that would be fun and ideal, it is simply not realistic for most of us in our daily lives! And that doesn’t mean you are not an intuitive eater if you have to factor rational thoughts or make real life decisions to help you decide how, what and when to eat.

| 418: Let’s Take the Word Hygiene Out of the Period Conversation with Here We Flo Founders Susan Allen and Tara Priya Chandra | 28 Mar 2023 | 00:49:06 | |
Founded four years ago by Susan and Tara in a bathroom, Here We Flo is on a mission to challenge shame and disrupt the period, bladder, and sexual wellness markets with its organic and vegan products, including tampons, pads, reusable period underwear, and condoms.
Here We Flo ensures every product is good for the planet, free of dyes or chemicals, and is 100% cotton. Their Flo pads have saved the equivalent of 61 million plastic carrier bags. At the heart of Here We Flo’s leadership is a social good. From the beginning, Here We Flo has given back 5% of profits to people and the planet. The business has supported incredible charity partners like Bloody Good Period, a period poverty organization, and The Brigid Alliance, which promotes safe abortion access for Americans. Last month alone saw the business donate 10,000-period pads to charity.
Susan Allen grew up in the city of champions — Boston, Massachusetts, and received her B.A. in communications and legal studies from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. After three years at a healthcare policy nonprofit in Boston, she moved to New York City to join George Soros' philanthropy, the Open Society Foundations. Susan completed her master's in management at the London School of Economics in 2015. She relocated to London in 2016 to lead the Foundation's work on diversity, equity, and inclusion and to launch Here We Flo with her best friend, Tara. Their mission is to make shamelessly natural personal care products that make us feel crazy confident about life's messiest moments - from periods to bladder leaks, to sex and everything else on the human body rollercoaster.
Tara Priya Chandra is co-founder of Here We Flo. Born in San Francisco, she studied Economics at Columbia University in New York City, where she tried almond milk and kombucha for the first time and had her mind blown. After working on Wall Street for a hot minute, Tara ended up in the music industry in LA while freelance copywriting for brands like Ray-Ban. Tara received her master's from the London School of Economics, where she met her bestie and future co-founder Susan, had the idea for Here We Flo in the university bathrooms, and received the C200 Award for exceptional MBA students. Tara and Susan launched Here We Flo with a Kickstarter campaign in 2017 and the business has been shaking up the personal care category ever since, with a purpose-driven, sustainable period care and sexual wellness range that offers 'shamelessly natural' products. Since 2020 in the USA alone, Here We Flo has saved 9.5 million period care products from landfill.*
*Flo period care products are biodegradable vs industry standard.
In this episode we discuss how Susan and Tara started Here We Flo, what makes them unicorns in the period care industry, why they make their marketing relatable as possible and an important discussion on taking words like hygiene and sanitary out of the period conversation.
Learn more about Here We Flo at their website and Instagram. Their products can now be found in retailers including Target, Whole Foods, HEB and more!

| 417: Making Atomic Habits Anti-Diet | 21 Mar 2023 | 00:27:07 | |
There’s a 9 out of 10 chance you’ve heard of the book, Atomic Habits. It’s a NYT bestseller. And there's a good reason for that! I really love this idea of breaking down habits into small, incremental steps so they actually become habitual.
Yet as is true for most things, the weight centric approach is all over the book. Why is it that all self help books use weight loss as their example for how to change with EVERYTHING?
It’s so frustrating! I wish the world could see that we can work on forming habits and improving our health without fixating on weight or appearance. Unfortunately we’re just not there yet as a society. But that’s what we’re working towards in the anti-diet world!
Since I think there’s actually good insight from the book to glean, but I know it could be so triggering for many of you, I’m recording this episode to help you get all the juicy details out of the book, and applying it to your anti-diet health journey.
Listen to today’s episode to learn how to make the book Atomic Habits anti-diet and support your health journey, without being triggered by the book’s rampant weight loss examples.

| 414: Transitioning from Weight Loss to Intuitive Eating Coaching with Eden Morris RD/N | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:43:26 | |
Similar to my own journey, Eden has had her own journey in disordered eating recovery and transitioning from selling weight loss to intuitive eating coaching. If you want to hear more about the important revelations that led to Eden’s decision, plus how sports nutrition fits into intuitive eating, you cannot miss this week’s episode!
Eden is a registered dietitian, former collegiate athlete turned mountain athlete, recovered disordered eater, and Intuitive Eating counselor (in training - she's in the process of becoming a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor). Eden majored in Psychology at Texas A&M, and after she was diagnosed with Female Athlete Triad in 2012, she decided to combine her undergraduate degree with a Master's Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Georgia State University.
For Eden, the overlap between our psychological health and our nutrition choices is way more important than "eating healthy." Now, Eden helps active individuals realize that a fueled body performs better than a starved body, confidence comes from body acceptance (not weight loss), and we are capable of so much more than we realize when we finally stop trying to shrink our bodies and our personalities to please others.
In this episode we discuss:

These are individual 75 minute sessions where you can meet with one of the dietitians at NMN, and create an individualized plan based off your history and goals. These breakthrough sessions are a perfect fit if you just want a single meeting to get you on the right track, OR if you are interested in a 3 or 6 month package, but want to feel out what a coaching session feels like before moving on to a package.

| 410: What Exactly is Binge Eating? | 31 Jan 2023 | 00:14:05 | |
Here are some statistics you may have not known about binge eating:
I wanted to record this episode because I feel like binge eating has become a term thrown out a lot, often used by people to emphasize how much they ate. Some of these people have BED, some of them experience episodes of binge eating and some do not binge eating in any way, it’s more so used to emphasize that they ate more than their norm or more than they are comfortable with.
Listen to today’s episode to learn more about what exactly is binge eaitng. And next week we will dig in even more with 5 steps to stop binge eating!
And if you are someone who is currently struggling with the diet-binge cycle or food obsession, I want you to know you deserve support and healing now.
And I’d love to invite you to join our winter cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook to get you that support and healing.
There is a way to move from:
FBPP is an 8 week online group coaching program that will teach you how to make peace with food and your body so that you enjoy food and your life again.
This means you can reclaim your health from the diet-binge cycle and food obsession, improving both your mental AND physical well-being.

Our next free training is here! Join me this Thursday at 7pm ET/6pm CT/5pm MT/4pm PT for our New Year, Non-Diet Me Training where I’ll teach you 3 tools to enhance your health through a non-diet lens, how to move on from binge eating and food obsession, and why intuitive eating is the solution you’re looking for.

My fellow recovering perfectionists, you are going to love today’s conversation, with guest Kara Loewentheil, about how to truly create self confidence by rewiring your brain and thoughts, and letting go of perfectionist fantasies around New Year's resolutions.
Kara Loewentheil, J.D., is a Master Certified Coach, Host of the top-rated podcast UnF*ck Your Brain, and creator of The Clutch: A feminist mindset revolution. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she did what every Ivy League feminist lawyer should do: Quit a prestigious academic career to become a life coach! Her Jewish parents have almost recovered; the fact that she built her business from zero to seven figures in three years didn't hurt. Five years after leaving the law she has taught thousands of women how to identify the ways that sexist socialization impacts their brains, and how to literally rewire their thought patterns to create true authentic confidence from within.

| 401: Release the All or Nothing Mentality with Holiday Food | 06 Dec 2022 | 00:15:53 | |
Since I know this is a time of year that our clients really struggle with food guilt, trying to avoid all the holiday food but then end up eating all the Christmas cookies when no one is around, I wanted to help you through these unique challenges.
I think we can all agree that there’s more “off limits food” around this time of the year more than any other time. And maybe it’s the prolonged time frame that messes with us too- from Halloween to New Years, this tends to be a time where people feel like there’s no point to “try” so they give up on their diets or eating healthy with the resolve that they will just start over in the New Year.
But this mindset is caused from the all or nothing mentality. So in today’s episode I explain what exactly is the all or nothing mentality, different ways it shows up in our relationship with food, especially during the holiday season, and two easy ways to challenge it over the next month.
If you are ready to let go of the all or nothing mentality around food, to make peace with your body and discover health that promotes physical and mental well-being, you can join our winter cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook. By doing so, you’ll feel confident that you are entering into the New Year with a plan for how to transform your relationship with food and your body, so that you are unrecognizable this time next year. Standard and VIP options available this round!
If you are interested in private coaching, the holiday season and beginning of the New Year is always a busy time of the year for our practice. If you’re looking to receive the highest level of care we offer at NMN, reach out now to guarantee you can get started before March of 2023.

| 398: Are Seed Oils Really Inflammatory? | 18 Nov 2022 | 00:16:31 | |
Are seed oils REALLY inflammatory? If you are just the slightest bit interested in health, wanting to eat to feel your best, you must have had this thought before, haven’t you?
In today’s episode, I hope to clear some of the air and give you an honest perspective.
When discussing these oils, we are talking about Canola (rapeseed), corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, rice bran, safflower, soy, and sunflower oils. These are what’s called “the hateful “ by some, Even if you don’t purchase these oils and cook with them at home, other places you may possibly consume them are when eating out (restaurants, fast food, pre-made food from stores) or packaged foods and snacks and some baked goods.
Seed oils have a mix of unsaturated and saturated fats and a mix of Omega 6s and Omega 3s. Overall, they fall into the category of polyunsaturated and they are higher in Omega 6s than saturated fats.
Will talk about the claims about seed oils in this episode, and whether or not they are true. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!

| 392: Your Weight is Not Your Worth | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:11:45 | |
If I were to ask you, what is your self worth dependent on, how would you answer? Would it be the grades you make in school? The accolades you hold in your job? How hard you work? How good of a mom you are?
What about your body? Do you feel that your body is THE thing that either provides you self worth, or is the very thing that you feel constantly holds you back from viewing yourself in a positive light?
And maybe that’s why you’re always on and off diets. You're always searching the latest and greatest diet to finally “fix your body”. Because you feel like once you fix your body, everything else will work out. You’re not alone if you feel that way. Because that’s the lie we are sold from diet culture.
In today’s episode, I hope to challenge you with what you believe about your own self worth.
If you’re ready to develop positive self worth, and to make peace with food and your body, join Food & Body Peace Playbook for our October cohort and final group for 2022.

And why do we want to experience confidence in our bodies? Confidence allows us to:
Confidence in your body goes so much deeper than confidence in the way your body looks. It’s confidence in what your body can do for you, the life it facilitates for you.
I mean think about it, you’re going to live in this body for the rest of your life. Don’t you want to feel confident in your body, not so much from a looks perspective although that’s great too, but more so confidence that your body will and can take care of you?
If you are ready to gain the tools to have confidence in your body for life: Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) is our signature 8 week group coaching program that will help you build trust in your body so that you can gain confidence in it.
And what this means to you is that you can wake up everyday, feeling excited to get dressed.
FBPP covers three tiers of body image work (understanding our body beliefs, body image is brain work, and how to respect and come home to your body) so that you can experience confidence again in your body.

| 390: What Exactly is Diet Culture and How Does it Cause Food Guilt | 20 Sep 2022 | 00:16:30 | |
Do you constantly feel guilty for what you eat? And does the guilt you feel about food involve concern over how that food is going to impact your body, i.e. will it cause weight gain?
Have you ever thought about WHY you feel guilty about what you eat? In today’s episode we explore the main culprit of food guilt, diet culture, and how it causes food guilt.
Because here’s the truth: Guilt and shame take us away from listening to our bodies. Before we can listen to the body, we need to reject diet mentality, remove the negative emotions and morality involved around food, and take us away from listening to our bodies.
So in order to feel at peace around all foods, and to feel good in your body, you’ve got to work through these beliefs and emotions you have around both food and your body, which is exactly what we do inside Food & Body Peace Playbook.
Food & Body Peace Playbook is a mindset focused program. 5 out of 8 modules are focused on helping you shift to viewing food and your body in a positive manner.
This means the internal chatter will shift into language that is compassionate, caring and trusting in your body and how you care for it. And what this really means? Your mind will be free to focus on the things in life that truly matter!

| 389: Experiencing Intense Hunger Now That You Are No Longer Dieting with Megan Perez RD/N | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:24:40 | |
Have you ever experienced extreme hunger when you stopped dieting? Maybe you went from barely any hunger at all, and you stopped following Weight Watchers, paleo, keto, etc and now you cannot stop thinking about food?
Or maybe for you it’s that the feeling of hunger is complicated to you. You often ignore, push it away, which then leads you to get to the state of primal hunger at the end of the day and eat everything in sight.
The truth is, hunger is an interoceptive cue of the body that we’ve been taught is bad, or to ignore, or that if we experience it too often, we aren’t doing something right.
In today’s episode, one of the incredible dietitians at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Megan Perez, walks through why hunger is a complicated sensation, and what to do to befriend your hunger.
You’ll walk away with actionable steps to better manage your hunger going forward, and make sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode for updates from me and announcements you’re gonna want to hear!
In this episode I reference our new Meal Planning Guide, the Fear of Weight Gain Masterclass and here is the link to Megan’s packages.
