Isabel Foxen Duke shares her personal story of chronic dieting and how her quest for thinness ultimately led her to treatment for an addiction to cocaine. She shares her recovery story and how her struggles with food and body image went unnoticed for decades because her body wasn't "thin enough" to alert people in her life. She shares about how she recovered, moments of clarity she had, and insight into her healing process. She talks about the perils of the hunger and fullness diet and how she broke free from it. Isabel Foxen Duke is the Creator of Stop Fighting Food — a free video training program for women who want to "stop feeling crazy around food." After years of trying to overcome emotional eating, binge-eating and chronic weight-cycling through "traditional" and alternative approaches, Isabel discovered some radical new ways to get women over their "food issues" once and for all — not just by shifting the mindsets of individuals, but by challenging the dominant diet culture as a whole. A fixture and thought-leader in the greater body-positive movement, Isabel has been featured in the Huffington Post, Elle Magazine, XOJane, and has been praised by Ricki Lake.

This podcast outlines ways to identify when things are going well with your relationship with food. It's understandable that we spend significant amounts of time talking about where things go wrong and what to do about it, but I think it's also useful to look at food, nutrition, and body image from the perspective of what's going right. In other words, how can we see progress? What are the skills, habits, and behaviors of those who are in a positive, happy place with food? I dove into this topic and expanded on common sticking points for clients.In the second part of the episode, Paige answers listener questions. One of them was: how do I know if I'm ready for the gentle nutrition part of Intuitive Eating?

| 150: A Simple, Straightforward Way to Decide What To Eat | 27 May 2019 | 00:33:47 | |
"Okay this is all great, but what should I eat?!" If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked this question, I'd a rich woman! While it's totally understandable to want answers to this question, it's actually much more difficult to answer than most people think. What a person eats is highly dependent on many factors: accessibility of food, socioeconomic status, hunger levels, social gatherings, cultural factors, and more. You can see how difficult it is as a registered dietitian to answer this seemingly simple question. People understandably want answers about nutrition. But, since deciding what to eat is more nuanced than most people give it credit for, I've decided to break down the process of deciding what to eat with a simple metaphor you can implement and explore today. Join me for a podcast exploring a simple way to help you decide what to eat. Links mentioned:

| 149: How Connecting to our Instinct to Eat can Help us Make Peace with Food | 13 May 2019 | 00:51:16 | |
As a journalist, Virginia Sole-Smith tells stories of women. With her new book, The Eating Instinct: Food Culture, Body Image and Guilt in America, Virginia explores how we can find the power to reconnect to our bodies and our own innate understanding of how to eat in a culture that’s constantly giving women so many mixed messages about both those things.
In this episode, Virginia shares about how she began her career giving diet advice in teen and women’s magazines and experiencing cognitive dissonance as she navigated her own body image struggles. Virginia shares how her daughter suddenly stopped eating as a newborn and how this affected her as a mother. She explores how seeing her daughter struggle with food helped Virginia challenge the dominate narrative that demonizes food. The Eating Instinct tells the stories of women, men, and children, all learning how to eat again, on their own terms and shares more about how her daughter finally reconnected to her eating instinct.

| 148: Practical Tips for Cooking for One | 29 Apr 2019 | 01:04:57 | |
Cooking for one can be difficult to navigate for many reasons. It's easy to get into the mindset that it's not worth it to cook for one. All the diet rules swimming around in your brain can make cooking more difficult than it needs to be. It's also easy to struggle with taking on the entire task of planning, shopping, preparing, eating and cleaning up alone. Although there are significant struggles and barriers to cooking for one, it's possible! On the podcast, I interviewed Rebecca Clyde, MS, RDN who is passionate about helping people find a groove with cooking for one.

| 145: Bodies & Modesty in Mormonism: the Complexities of a Religious Culture & Body Image | 18 Mar 2019 | 00:58:02 | |
Lexie and Lindsay Kite, PhD of Beauty Redefined® joined Paige on the podcast to talk about a topic that they've been outspoken about since the inception of their non-profit: modesty and Mormon culture (also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). All three of us get this question a lot: does Utah have a particularly higher rate of eating and/or body image issues than the rest of the US? We explore this question and more together in this episode. It's a nerve wracking topic to explore (in fact, Lexie had hives all throughout the recording process) but we did our best to do this complicated and important topic justice and look at all sides of the coin. Lindsay and Lexie have a nuanced way of viewing modesty rhetoric which has benefits for women and girls as well as men and boys. Since religion and culture are often intertwined, we discussed the experience of body image through the lens of a faith tradition that's prominent in the Intermountain West and throughout the world in an effort to explore a topic that has even wider cultural implications for folks in any religious or cultural community.

We're all born natural intuitive eaters, but growing and developing, many of us lose the natural ability to honor and connect to our bodies. In this episode, we're flipping the script on the typical personal story shared on this podcast. Many stories highlighted previously have shed light on what it's like to struggle with food and how to extricate yourself from difficult food and body image struggles. In this episode, we're talking about what can go right (even when things aren't exactly perfect) when a person is able to preserve their innate ability to be an intuitive eater. Links mentioned:

| 137: Happiness isn't a Size: An Interview with Jes Baker, Author of Landwhale | 17 Oct 2018 | 00:57:59 | |
Jes Baker is a positive, progressive, and magnificently irreverent force to be reckoned with in the realm of self-love advocacy and mental health. She is internationally known for preaching the importance of body liberation, hard conversations, strong coffee, and even stronger language. Jes burst onto the body positivity scene when she created her own ads mocking Abercrombie & Fitch for discriminating against all body types—a move that landed her on the Today Show and garnered a loyal following for her raw, honest, and attitude-filled blog missives. When not writing, Jes spends her time speaking around the world, working with plus size clothing companies, organizing body liberation events, taking pictures in her underwear and attempting to convince her cats that they like to wear bow ties. In this podcast episode, we talk about how Jes found body positivity and her career trajectory. We spent a good amount of time talking about her recent book, Landwhale. We talk about what it's like to write a book about all the most intimate and vulnerable details of your life and Jes talks about why she believes you should look at old pictures of yourself. We ended the conversation talking about what the world and the body positivity community would look like if she could wave a magic wand and change things. Jes is a true force to be reckoned with and pure joy to interview. Enjoy! Links mentioned:
