| You Can Stop Expecting Him to Get it Now | 09 Sep 2024 | 00:02:46 | |
Period recovery has this funny way of making you question everything about your habits. Is this enough? How do I know if it's enough? What if I'm too full for the next snack? Could I keep exercising if I reduce intensity? Will this even work? If this sounds like you, I’m going to take a wild guess and say… ❌you are doing everything by yourself and DIY-ing your recovery ❌your 'winging' it and playing a guessing game of how to get your period back ❌you have no one in your life that really gets it, you try to talk to your partner about how scary this is, but they don't really understand and just keep telling you to "go eat a cheeseburger" Period recovery can be stressful, unpredictable, and a total mental rollercoaster🎢 But after working with 450+ clients, I can tell you the secret to period recovery SUCCESSFULLY is… wait for it…. ✍️a proven process with support every step of the way That’s why I created my brand NEW group program, 90 Days to Get Your Period Back! “Three months into working together and BOOM, I got my period back and have had cycles ever since.

| 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.

| 391: 5 Ways to Feel More Confident in Your Body on a Daily Basis | 27 Sep 2022 | 00:16:59 | |
What if you could get dressed everyday without negative body talk? And what if you could feel confident in your body without changing what you eat?
Today on the podcast, we are going to cover 5 specific ways to feel more confident in your body on a daily basis.
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.
Know that as you listen to today’s episode, we are OFFICIALLY open for enrollment for our October cohort. You have from today to Sunday, October 9th or until all spots fill to join, and you can find the link to join BY CLICKING HERE! | |||
| 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!
Spots are filling fast for our group coaching program, Food & Body Peace Playbook. If you want to work towards food and body peace in a community of like-minded people so you can learn and grow together, you’ll want to fill out your application form soon! We are currently at 7/10 spots filled.

| 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.

| 384: Opening Up To Your Partner About Your Food & Body Struggles with Client Lauren and Emilie Hebert RD/N | 16 Aug 2022 | 00:42:24 | |
One of the hardest things about choosing food and body peace is admitting to yourself that you are struggling. Even harder? Telling those in your life that you love about those struggles!
Today’s episode is one of hopefully many to come, where dietitian at my practice, Emilie Hebert, interviews one of her clients on their experience working with Emilie. Lauren was gracious enough to agree to come on the show, and I cannot thank her enough for doing so!
My hope is that this episode gives you light where there is currently darkness. That you see that choosing peace is worth it, even if it feels scary as hell initially to do so. Lauren shares her process of admitting to herself that she struggled, sharing this with her partner, and why she chose to seek help even though at times she didn’t feel ‘sick enough’ to do so. Listen to this incredible story to learn more!

| 383: Intermittent Fasting with a History of Disordered Eating | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:16:29 | |
Can you engage in popular wellness trends, like intermittent fasting, if you have a history or are currently struggling with disordered eating?
Intermittent fasting is all the rage these days, and is touted as a way to improve blood sugar levels, cognitive function, life longevity, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation and so many more proposed benefits.
And if you have been here since the beginning of the show, this title is an episode we did in the first year of the show, all the way back in 2017. I actually went back and listened to the episode, and a lot of what we shared is pretty similar to how I feel now, but I did feel like it was due time to re-do this episode with more up to date information.
Because what is different is how STRONGLY I feel against intermittent fasting, in comparison to our first episode with this title, where we saw some of the benefits. Now, I just see it as an excuse for people to engage in disordered behaviors. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!
*In the beginning of the episode I accidentally say ‘intuitive eating’ instead of ‘intermittent fasting’.

You deserve to live life the way you want, and have the energy you desire, and we can teach you the tactics to learn how to eat for ENERGY by listening to this very show.

| 380: The Difference Between the Why to Heal vs. the HOW to Heal with FBPP Student Maria | 22 Jul 2022 | 00:40:23 | |
I loved this episode with Maria so much. It speaks to your SOUL, that’s just how Maria is. At the end of the episode, I ask Maria about why taking FBPP was different than listening to the podcast, which she has been listening since the VERY beginning, since 2017!
You’ll have to listen in to hear Maria’s answer, but one of the things her answer made me reflect on is the why behind why I transitioned the program (from when it was formally called Permission Stage Playbook) from an online course to instead a cohort style, group coaching program where we only enroll 3-4 times a year with a limited amount of students each enrollment period.
My why is because I care, deeply. I don’t want you to take an online course to absorb 15% of it, and apply absolutely nothing. I want you to go through the material, participate in the support group, show up for the group calls and actually create change in your life!
Our last round of FBPP in the spring had a 84% completion of course material. To compare this, I found a study from 2018 that shared the average completion rate of online courses was 15%! That’s not even measuring the group coaching component of the program, which is the most highly rated part of the program.
In this episode we also discuss the differences between WHY to change versus HOW to change. And if you’re ready for the how through education, support and accountability, you can click here to learn more about Food & Body Peace Playbook.

It's time to ask for help. It's time to receive the support, accountability and momentum you need to heal your relationship with food and your body.
Food & Body Peace Playbook will help you do exactly that. Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) is our signature 8 week online group coaching program that will help you make peace with food, trust your body again and live wellness without obsession.

| 378: What Learning How to Ride a Bike and Learning Intuitive Eating Have in Common with FBPP Student Melissa | 15 Jul 2022 | 00:34:19 | |
Today on the podcast we have yet another special guest, Melissa! Melissa participated in our April cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP), and is on the show today sharing her experience going through the program. You’ll hear Melissa share how she started dieting around 8 years old, how she learned about intuitive eating as a mental health therapist, and why she decided FBPP was a great fit for her needs.
You’ll also hear me share about how learning how to ride a bike and learning the intuitive eating process is so similar. Sure, you can learn how to ride a bike by reading about it, heck even listen to podcast episodes about it. But that cannot compare to actually getting on a bike and riding it! FBPP is how you will get on the bike, actually applying what you learn in your intuitive eating journey, so that you can meet your goals.

| 377: Anti Diet Does Not Mean Anti Health | 12 Jul 2022 | 00:11:31 | |
When people here anti diet here’s what they hear: Anti health. Anti nutrition. Anti vegetables. In this episode, we will talk about one of the concepts of intuitive eating to help you understand why there’s so much misinformation about this self care eating framework: Making peace with food.
Making peace with food involves giving yourself unconditional permission to eat. People take this to mean: you’re going to be eating every second of every day, eating foods you deem unhealthy forever. Honestly, when I hear this response, I know without a doubt, that the person sharing this concern is struggling with diet mentality.
Making peace with food is a powerful experience. And I would argue is one of the most health promoting things we can do for ourselves! FBPP is an 8 week group program that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know in order to make peace with food, and also your body.

| 375: Why I Don’t Teach Weight Loss as a Dietitian | 05 Jul 2022 | 00:12:08 | |
I used to teach people how to lose weight for a living. It was my career and identity.
In the beginning, 10 years ago, I was totally sold on it. I so firmly believed that people could live off the 1,200 calories diets I was giving them. That they lacked discipline when they didn’t stick to the plan. I was judgmental of OTHERS eating habits because I was JUDGING MYSELF.
Overtime, I woke up to the realities of the negative impacts of dieting. Now, my business helps undo those damages.
We teach women and people how to make peace with food and trust their bodies again. I know if I’m helping someone who chronically diets, or restricts and binge eats, or who has disordered eating/orthorexia that I’m helping them, not harming them.
And that’s why Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) exists. FBPP is an 8 week online group coaching program that will help you make peace with food, trust your body again and live wellness WITHOUT obsession.
What that means to you is you will feel CONFIDENT in your food choices and at ease about your health.
This is the body you’re going to live in the rest of your life. When your 80 years old, how do you want to look back and reflect on how you treated your body? If that resonates I want you to know: Food & Body Peace Playbook was designed just for you. You’ll learn how to:

| 374: Megan Perez RD/N on How Much Fiber is Too Much Fiber | 01 Jul 2022 | 00:26:40 | |
Dietitian at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Megan Perez, is back on the show today! In today’s episode, Megan guides us through a better understanding of what fiber is, sources of fiber in the diet and the health benefits of fiber.
Since Megan works with clients on gentle nutrition, especially for her PCOS clients with some degree of insulin resistance; it’s fun to discuss health promoting practices such as adding fiber to your diet! However we still see many clients who come to us consuming too much fiber. We have a lot of people who come to us with digestive concerns such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and so with these clients, we always assess their fiber intake. So in this episode we help you understand how much fiber is too much fiber, so you can determine the amount that feels best for you.

| 373: Why I Don’t Recommend Food Sensitivity Testing | 28 Jun 2022 | 00:11:45 | |
Have you personally or known of someone who has taken a food sensitivity test? And have you ever noticed that overtime, for many people, the results dissipate? That they may even cause anxiety or worry about the foods they are intolerant to?
Today, I want to discuss why I don’t like nor recommend food sensitivity testing. This is definitely a tricky subject. What I’m not trying to do in this episode is take away your body autonomy. If they have worked for you. Or if you have genuine food intolerances, I’m not saying that is wrong.
You are going to have to be the ultimate decision maker. You are the expert of your own body! Listen to today’s episode to learn more about food sensitivity testing.
Don’t forget you have until Thursday, June 30th to join Food & Body Peace Playbook for presales which includes a free coaching session with me!

| 363: Connecting to Pleasure in Food & In Your Body | 24 May 2022 | 00:16:33 | |
Did you know that it is common in many cultures to believe pleasure is a part of taking care of your health?
Yet in our society that promotes thinness as the only way to pursue health, we have forgotten this important component of enjoying and living life, and also taking care of ourselves...and that’s eating and living for pleasure and satisfaction!
At our practice, Nourishing Minds Nutrition, we have a belief that food should be chosen for flavor first and foremost. What’s really cool about this mindset is that it can truly allow for food freedom and an all foods fit mentality, because all foods can be so delicious and pleasurable to eat, brussels sprouts and chocolate chip cookies included!
However, if you are new to intuitive eating and come from healthy eating obsessed or disordered eating and dieting past- you likely are not well tuned in to your ability to recognize pleasure and satisfaction. So let’s dig in to that more in today’s episode!
