| #210: From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust: Rebuilding Confidence with Aly Breathe | 11 Nov 2025 | 00:53:11 | |
In this episode, I'm joined by Aly Breathe, a mindset and self-trust coach. Aly moved solo to Canada at just 22 and rebuilt her life and business from the ground up. Through that experience, she learned that self-trust isn't something you're born with. It's something you build one decision at a time. We talk about how self-doubt can show up in sneaky, rational ways, the mindset shifts that help women stop second-guessing themselves, and why confidence isn't about "faking it till you make it." Aly also shares simple daily practices to strengthen your self-trust muscle and tune back into your inner wisdom. If you've ever felt stuck in self-doubt around food, your body, or your life, this conversation will help you reconnect with that calm, confident voice within you. Episode Highlights
✨ The subconscious and subtle ways that self-doubt shows up and undermines your confidence ✨ How to stop second-guessing yourself and listen inward ✨ What happens when you finally listen to (and trust) yourself ✨ Simple daily practices to overcome overwhelm

| #209: Writing Your Own Rules When It Comes to Fitness With Courtney McCarthy | 04 Nov 2025 | 00:47:24 | |
What if exercise didn't feel like a chore, or something that you "have to" do each week, but rather something you WANT to do for reasons that have nothing to do with burning calories or controlling your weight? I know that might sound too good to be true, but my buddy Courtney McCarthy is here to share how to do this.
With over 10 years of fitness and coaching experience, Courtney has worked with hundreds of women to heal their relationship with both their body and with exercise. Courtney's mission, as the CEO and founder of Loyobo, an online fitness community for women, is to show women how to write your own rules when it comes to fitness and health. She will be your biggest hype girl along the way (and who doesn't need a hype girl in their life?!).
3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
🏋️You can love your body and not love how you look - Yes, it's possible. Courtney reveals how to rethink your relationship with your body and how you feel about it, separate from your weight or appearance.
🧘Having structure without rules - Learn how to be intentional and consistent with movement, without all the "shoulds."
🏃 If you don't like exercise, there are still ways you can be active - It's all about finding what works for YOU in your life. Courtney explains how she helps women who hate gyms and sweating to find movement they can be consistent with.

| #200: The Cost of Intuitive Eating: Facing Life Without Diet Promises | 02 Sep 2025 | 00:28:55 | |
Let's lay it all out on the table. What feels hard about letting go of dieting? What is holding you back from going all-in with intuitive eating? If we were sitting down on the couch, cozy under blankets with a cup of coffee or tea, what would you tell me about where you feel stuck, scared or uncertain right now?
In this episode, we're digging into the costs of what you lose when you step away from dieting, and stop chasing weight loss. (Because the truth is, it ain't all sunshine and rainbows.)
We're also going to talk through how to navigate this "messy middle" where you know in your heart that dieting isn't the answer, but you also don't feel convinced about intuitive eating either.
Episode Highlights: #1 - The things you give up when you give up dieting. There are some very real costs to letting go of dieting…but some of them aren't true. #2 - 4 things you think you can't have or do with intuitive eating, but you absolutely can. #3 - How to navigate the messy middle where you know that dieting doesn't work, but you're still not totally convinced that intuitive eating is working for you either.

I'll also be sharing some challenges that happened in 2023 that forced me to approach intuitive eating differently than I have before, and that pushed me way out of my comfort zone for how I relate to my body.
I don't often record personal episodes, so I wanted to share where I'm at on the journey of "walking the walk" with the things I believe and teach here on this podcast.
Get cozy and hit play to listen to this raw and vulnerable episode. I hope that you'll enjoy hearing more of a behind-the-scenes look into my life, and that you'll be able to take some of the lessons I've learned and apply them in your own life.

| #109: Why You Don't Need to Plan on Jumping into a Wellness Routine in the New Year (And What to do Instead) | 26 Dec 2023 | 00:25:51 | |
The New Year is upon us and you know what that means….New Year's resolutions, along with the constant pressure to "eat healthy" and start a wellness or fitness routine.
There's certainly nothing wrong with wanting to improve your health or take care of your body. But the way that our culture tells us to do that in the New Year is a recipe for disaster, and rarely results in long-term behavior change or improvements in our health.
In this episode I'm going to share some strategies for preventing yourself from getting sucked into diet and wellness culture in the New Year, along with a more productive way to set goals that will actually improve your health and wellbeing. I'm also going to share some fun alternatives to New Year's resolutions that just might inspire you to take on 2024 with some new energy around your relationship with food.

| #106: How to Handle Comments People Make About Food and Weight at Holiday Gatherings | 05 Dec 2023 | 00:25:00 | |
Have you ever been in a situation where someone comments on what you're eating? Or perhaps they make a comment about your body or your weight? These comments can be so frustrating and triggering, and it's hard to know how to respond.
The holidays are a prime time for these types of food and weight comments to happen because we're around a lot of people, and our society is obsessed with theses topics.
In this episode I'm going to teach you the 3 levels of boundaries that you can use to navigate these discussions, as well as some scripts you can use if dieting or weight comes up. No more putting up with "concern trolling" or unsolicited feedback on what you're eating. You deserve to enjoy your food during the holidays without someone making judgmental comments.

| #105: When Trying to Eat Healthy Becomes Disordered With Marie-Pier Pitre D'Iorio | 28 Nov 2023 | 00:58:10 | |
In this episode we delve into the intricate and often tangled relationship between eating healthy and the potential pitfalls that can lead to disordered eating. With the best intentions, many of us embark on a journey to better our health through dietary changes, only to find ourselves trapped in a web of restrictive habits and emotional turmoil around food.
Join me for this conversation with fellow dietitian, Marie-Pier Pitre D'Iorio, owner of The Balanced Practice who shares how "healthy eating" can be a slippery slope into disordered eating. She also shares insights into how society's emphasis on wellness and an idealized image of health can inadvertently lead to unhealthy obsessions and harmful behaviors.
Marie-Pier also shares some practical and tangible tools that you can use when you are feeling guilty about eating certain foods, as well as when you are struggling with body image or seeing yourself in photos, especially during the holidays.

| #199: 5 Things We'd Do Immediately If You Wanted to Improve Your Health While Eating Bagels and Pasta | 26 Aug 2025 | 00:28:14 | |
I used to think that in order to be healthy I had to avoid things like carbs, and fat...and basically anything that tasted good. Even as a dietitian, I got sucked into thinking of food as good/bad, and I approached my eating with restriction being my strategy for health.
It wasn't until I flipped things around and started practicing "nutrition by addition" and embracing ALL foods as part of 1) listening to my body, and 2) overall balanced eating, that I saw how it's totally possible to get healthier while eating bagels, pasta, ice cream, and Oreos.
That's because the all-or-none mindset with food actually backfires. It either leads to restriction, deprivation, and a life of rigid rule following...or it leads to being off the rails bingeing on food.
In this episode, we're going to cover 5 things we'd change immediately if you came to me and wanted to eat bagels while watching your labs improve, your digestion feel better, and your blood sugar stabilize.
When you do all of these things consistently, enjoying bagels and pasta while simultaneously watching your health improve doesn't just become possible...it becomes your reality.
If you're ready for this to happen, hit play and let's go!
Episode Highlights: 1️⃣ The #1 daily behavior I would tell you to STOP doing immediately. (Besides dieting…obviously we're not doing that anymore around here, right?) 2️⃣ The first thing that you should do each morning that will improve your health and get both your metabolism and digestion working properly. 3️⃣ My mix-and-match strategy for pairing food together to allow you to eat the foods you enjoy, while balancing your blood sugar and honoring your health. (aka my "Have Your Cake and Eat It Too" method!)

| #101: Unlearning Body Shame And Doing the Work to Heal From Within with Amanda Mittman | 31 Oct 2023 | 00:55:07 | |
Today we are going to be talking about body image. It's almost impossible to work on our relationship with food without also working on body image - because the way we feel about our bodies has such a major impact on how we approach our eating.
You see, the way we feel about our bodies deeply impacts how we think and feel about food, and therefore how we eat. And unfortunately, the deep body hatred that many of us feel is creating so much dysfunction in the way that we eat that we are stuck in this vicious cycle.
Today we're going to work on breaking out of that cycle by going deeper and talking about body image. In fact, I'm bringing on an expert in this area to help us explore body image in ways that you might not have done before. Her name is Amanda Mittman, and she's a fellow dietitian, and the way she talks about body image is so powerful. You're going to love it.

| #99: Have You Had Your Pap Smear and Breast Exam Lately? Going to the Doctor When You're Struggling With Weight or Body Image | 17 Oct 2023 | 00:28:12 | |
This is the most deeply personal episode I've ever created. And it just might save your life (I'm not exaggerating, and you're going to hear why I know this is true).
Getting your pap smear and breast exam is an incredibly vulnerable experience, especially if you are struggling with weight, body image or have a history of trauma. Going to the doctor in general is sometimes so stressful and shaming that we will avoid it or put it off until later, telling ourselves we'll get around to it when life is less busy or stressful.
It's one thing to know you *should* go to the doctor and get your well woman exam. It's another thing to actually go through with it. I'm going to help you understand this and strategize about it.
In this episode I'm going to be sharing:
Trigger Warning: In this episode you'll hear me talking about trauma, cancer, weight stigma and death. It's ok to skip this one if that's too heavy for you right now.

| #98: From Disordered to Recovered: Healing Your Relationship with Food, Body Image and Alcohol with Heather Lasco | 10 Oct 2023 | 00:51:44 | |
Today on the show I have a special guest named Heather Lasco, a fellow registered dietitian, and we are talking about so many things related to our relationship with food and our bodies. Heather is such a wealth of knowledge and wisdom and I know you're going to learn a ton from her.
You'll hear us talk about: 1. The overlap between dieting, disordered eating and eating disorders (and some surprising insights about common misconceptions about why these issues with food tend to get overlooked).
2. Body liberation as a powerful tool to help you navigate body image struggles, and why body positivity tends to fall short.
3. AWhat to do if you're feeling "stuck" in your process of finding peace with food. Maybe you've realized that dieting doesn't work, and you're listening to your body with food, but you still aren't happy with your body and you don't know what to do.
4. And finally, we talk about how to explore your relationship with alcohol alongside food, and some key differences in how to think about alcohol vs food when it comes to giving yourself unconditional permission.
There's SO much richness to this episode and I can't wait for you to hear it.

| #97: Understanding the Deeper Reasons That You're Struggling With Food and Exercise & 3 Powerful Tools You Can Apply Immediately | 03 Oct 2023 | 00:32:10 | |
If you're struggling with food, here's an uncomfortable truth: It's not about the food.
What do I mean by that? I mean that food struggles are typically caused by a combination of biological factors (e.g. dieting, deprivation, restriction), and also unmet needs and unfelt emotions outside of food.
That's what we're diving into in this episode. We're going to look at the deeper reasons you're struggling with food and exercise, and how to figure out what it's going to take for you to truly get to the place where you have peace and ease with food.

| #96: Shifting Your Mindset From Diet and Weight Loss to Non-Diet and Intuitive Eating With Jonny Landels | 26 Sep 2023 | 01:01:39 | |
Let me ask you this: If you could go back and give your past self a piece of advice about your eating or about how you felt about your body, what would it be? For me, it would be to not be so hard on myself about my eating and my body, and to not encourage others to diet in the name of "health" - because it turns out that actually backfires. (And now that I know better, I am doing better.) In this episode I'm chatting with Jonny Landels, who used to be a personal trainer that taught people how to lose weight, and he has since shifted his views and now coaches his clients to listen to their bodies through the intuitive eating and HAES lens. It's so awesome to share these stories of people who aren't only experts in this field, but who have been stuck in their own diet mentality in the past, who made that shift and started doing things differently just like most of you who are listening. We were all born into a world that was already obsessed with dieting and thinness, and it takes a lot of work to unlearn all of that. So we're going to hear from Jonny how he did it, and I'm confident it's going to help you embrace your own mindset shifts too!

| #95: Navigating Photo Triggers and Body Image | 19 Sep 2023 | 00:27:22 | |
What goes through your mind when you see a picture of yourself? Do you think, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe that's how I look! How horrifying!" If so, this episode is for you. This is a really common struggle, and I think it's safe to say that we've all seen photos of ourselves that we don't like, but for some of us this can be such a huge trigger for negative body image, self-hatred and desperately wanting to do something to lose weight or change our bodies. I don't want you to erase yourself from your own life by not being in photos, or by deleting every photo of yourself because you're so triggered by the image. You CAN work through the body shame that you feel when you see images of yourself. In fact, you can also desensitize yourself to how triggering this is in the first place. And this is exactly what we're going to cover in this episode. I'm going to walk you through:

If you ever feel guilty for eating certain foods, this episode is for you. It's so frustrating to go back and forth between not letting yourself have foods you like, and then giving in and letting yourself eat it, only to feel guilty afterwards. But what if it didn't have to be that way?
It doesn't. And in this episode I'm going to walk you through steps to let go of this guilt through building some skills around listening to (and trusting!) your body, as well as powerful mindset shifts with the food itself.
My goal for you is that you can eat ALL types of food, without feeling guilty, while also being thoughtful about your nutrition and your health. You truly can have the best of both worlds.

| #198: Why You Binge on Weekends (And How to Stop) | 19 Aug 2025 | 00:42:10 | |
Find yourself doing well with your eating during the week, only to end up bingeing on the weekends? Here's the fix.
Let's face it, whether you're on a diet, or you've been doing intuitive eating (or you're somewhere in between), weekends are harder with food. There are social events, dinners out, cocktails, tailgates, bridal showers, your kids' sporting events, and so many things that can throw you off your normal eating routine…and lead to a binge…on the weekends.
In this episode, I'm giving you real, simple, and doable ways to stop the weekend binges, so that your weekend eating can be enjoyable, balanced and easy.
These aren't going to be time-consuming things like meal prepping or journaling a novel. Instead, they're mental reframes, anchor points, and strategies that will keep you connected with your body (rather than off the rails with food).
I also talk about something that might sound counter-intuitive…why menu planning for your entire week at a time might just be the most powerful way to cut down on the weekend binges, allow yourself to eat all the foods you love (not just on the weekend but during the week as well), and to still include things like veggies, fiber and protein on the weekends so that your body is getting the consistent nourishment it needs.
(And trust me, you're still going to be able to enjoy weekends full of dinners out with your girlfriends, cake at weddings, brunch, and your favorite adult beverages - without guilt, and without going overboard.)
Episode Highlights
🍽️ Why weekends are so triggering (and the variables you're probably overlooking that are feeding into the cycle)
🍽️ Losing track of listening to your body - and how to stay connected with your hunger, fullness, and gentle nutrition ALL week (and weekend!) long
🍽️ What to do instead: Intuitive eating tools for weekends

Do you ever find yourself snacking endlessly at night? Trust me, you're not alone!

This episode will help you to narrow down what's going on that is leading you to snack in a way that ends up being frustrating. Once you have clarity on WHY you eat one snack after another at night, then you can work on making some adjustments to help yourself eat more intuitively and with kindness towards your body.

Today I'm going to be sharing my 3-step framework for body-led eating and we're going to use it to dismantle and help you unlearn some of those old food rules that are swirling around in your brain.

This episode is jam-packed with tangible steps you can take to embrace letting go of your food rules and learning to connect with your body and trust it so you can be at ease around food. Sound good?

Let's get real for a sec. We all know how challenging it can be when the world bombards us with mixed messages about food and diets.

After all, the point of vacation is to take a break from everyday life, to relax and have fun. All of that can be ruined if you're stressing and obsessing about food and your body the whole time.

Do you ever compare your eating (or your body) to other people? You know what they say: Comparison is the thief of joy. And it's true, especially when it comes to our eating and body image. If you're trying to make peace with food, the last thing you need is to start second guessing yourself because you're hung up on how your friend, partner or coworker is eating. You've got to stay in your own lane and do what's right for YOU.
This is easier said than done, I know.

It's kind of like puberty Part 2, and we all know how much fun puberty was, right? We're going to get real here and address those body image concerns, the pressures we face from society, and how we can foster self-acceptance and love for our changing bodies through the menopause process.
Leslie's also going to share practical advice and actionable strategies. Her experience in this area has given her invaluable insights and evidence-based tips to help you tune into your body's signals, and cultivate a sense of trust and acceptance in your body.

| Afraid to Keep Certain Foods in the House? How to "Decharm" Your Binge Foods | 22 Jun 2023 | 00:36:31 | |
Let's be real for a moment. Society has bombarded us with messages about what we should and shouldn't eat. We've been led to believe that certain foods are "good" while others are "bad." But here's the thing—food shouldn't be a source of guilt or shame. It's time to challenge those beliefs and "decharm" the foods you're afraid to keep in the house.
We're going to dive headfirst into practical strategies to reframe your perceptions of binge foods so you can break out of the restrict-binge cycle for good. Together, we'll unpack 3 different strategies for "decharming" your binge foods so that you can keep them in the house without any stress (and even forget they're there).
I want you to feel empowered, armed with knowledge and practical tools to foster a harmonious relationship with food. Wouldn't it be amazing to have some ice cream when it sounds good without devouring the entire container? And wouldn't it be great to eat a handful of chips with lunch and not dive headfirst into the bag later that afternoon? You CAN keep these foods in the house without going overboard, I promise.
So grab your headphones, pour yourself a cup of something refreshing, and join me for this exciting episode. Let's make peace with binge foods, release the guilt, and embrace a more joyful way of living.

| Liberating Your Inner Intuitive Eater: Shedding the Diet Rules and Cultivating Food Freedom | 06 Jun 2023 | 00:47:34 | |
Let go of the diet rules and food judgments and start thinking like an intuitive eater.
If you're tired of feeling guilty about eating certain foods, or you're stuck in the phase of "eat whatever you want, whenever you want," or you are worried about your weight and your health if you're not dieting - then this episode is for you.
You've ditched dieting and have set out to find freedom with food - and that sounds great on the surface.
The thing is, it's harder than it sounds. And even though you're not necessarily restricting or depriving yourself anymore, you still feel like you don't feel comfortable or confident about your eating.
I get it, because I've been in this "in between" place too. That place where you're not dieting, but you're also not *actually* eating intuitively either, and you're doubting yourself and the process.
In this episode, I'm sharing my own experience in shifting from the diet mentality and being really hung up on so-called "healthy eating," to becoming a full-fledged intuitive eater where I have the peace and freedom with food and my body that I've always wanted AND I am still mindful about my health. It takes some mindset work to get there, and for those of you who are struggling with this, let's talk about it.
This is a great episode for anyone who has been working on ditching dieting and learning the ropes with intuitive eating, who has been practicing intuitive eating for a while and feels stuck, and anyone who wants to go deeper into cultivating freedom with food and peace within themselves.

| How to Avoid the Food Coma: The Fullness vs Satiety Showdown, Y'all! | 31 May 2023 | 00:31:25 | |
Today we're going to be diving into the difference between fullness and satiety, and how knowing the difference will help you make strategic decisions with food without sacrificing satisfaction. This is an example of how nutrition science and gentle nutrition can help you take care of your body (without dieting or restricting).
Now, you might be thinking, "Aren't fullness and satiety the same thing?" Well, not exactly. Fullness is the feeling of having a certain quantity of food in your stomach. Satiety, on the other hand, is the feeling of being content and no longer hungry. You can be physically full but still unsatisfied and wanting to eat more; or you can feel satisfied and not need to eat more even if you're not physically full. If your head is spinning, don't worry. I'm going to break this all down for you with examples so you can see exactly how it works.
In this episode you'll learn: 1. The must-know differences between fullness and satiety 2. How different foods will influence your fullness vs satiety 3. What to do if you're full (but not satisfied) and want to keep eating
If you're ready to feel more confident and empowered in your food choices, hit play and let's dive in! Today's Wellness Woo is celery juice.

| Do You Have a Complicated Relationship With Food? Listen to this... | 23 May 2023 | 00:24:07 | |
Today we're going to explore a topic that is near and dear to my heart: our relationship with food. For many of us, if it were a Facebook relationship status, it would say, "It's Complicated." As many of you know, I love food, I think nutrition is kind of cool, and I hate to cook. When I first started my career as a dietitian, I was overly focused on trying to help people eat what I thought was the "right" way (I'm cringing to admit this), and I quickly saw that it wasn't working. I was simultaneously working on healing my own relationship with food, and I started to become fascinated by the role that food plays in our lives. My relationship with food has evolved over time to be much more chill, relaxed and enjoyable. I no longer stress about it constantly. But this episode isn't just about me. It's about all of us. We all have a relationship with food, and it's something that tends to be deeply intertwined with our body image and self-esteem, so it makes sense that this gets so messy and complicated. Whether you're a foodie or someone who has struggled with an eating disorder or disordered eating, or if you're trying to step away from dieting, there's something in this episode for everyone. Go ahead and grab a snack (or not if you aren't hungry), and hit play to listen. Cheers to healing your relationship with food! This week's Wellness Woo is Noom.

| Emotional Eating Decoded: How to Stop Stuffing Your Feelings Down With Food | 16 May 2023 | 00:27:09 | |
A lot of us use food to cope with feelings. And when I say "using food," I mean that sometimes we eat certain foods in response to emotions, but I also mean that sometimes we restrict or withhold food in response to emotions. And sometimes we diet as a way to try and cope with how we are feeling. Often we don't even know we are doing this. These food and dieting behaviors become such a normalized part of our lives that we aren't even aware that we are using it to distract from or numb ourselves from feeling our feelings.
Emotional eating isn't a bad thing. We ALL do it sometimes, and that's perfectly normal. It can become a problem when emotional eating becomes the only way we have to cope, or when we are using it to avoid our feelings.
Our emotions aren't something we need to be afraid of. They serve an important purpose in terms of telling us what we need. With intuitive we can practice noticing our feelings, naming them and giving language to how we're feeling (which is sometimes harder than you think it will be because most of us weren't raised with a very good emotional vocabulary), and then we must learn how to cope with our feelings in ways that are more kind and compassionate towards ourselves.

| What to Do When Your Weight has Become a "Problem" and It's Harder to Move Your Body | 09 May 2023 | 00:34:13 | |
Today we're going to be talking about what to do when you feel like your weight has become a "problem" and you're worried about your health, or it's harder to move your body, and you're thinking, "I've got to do something about this."
That's a really hard and painful place to be in. And I know it might feel like dieting is the only answer, but it's not. I promise you it's not. In fact, dieting is only going to make things worse.
Maybe you feel like your weight is too high for your body. Maybe you are having more joint pain in your knees or your back. Maybe you are having a hard time getting up and down out of your chair, or you get really out of breath from walking or from trying to go up a flight of stairs. Maybe your most recent blood work showed some concerning things like high cholesterol or an increase in your A1c, or maybe your blood pressure is up.
I can see why you'd feel like your weight is part of the problem, and I can see why you're concerned. I have several things to share in this episode that I think are going to really help you look at this somewhat differently than you have before, so that hopefully you can start to feel better and you can genuinely take care of your health.

| 3 Mindset Mistakes That Will Keep You From Having Peace With Food | 02 May 2023 | 00:30:30 | |
I have to be honest, I struggle with a lot of mindset blocks and "thinking errors." We ALL have them because we're human, and that's what our brains do. One thing I've personally noticed is that when I'm feeling stressed out or overwhelmed, I am more prone to slipping into these unhelpful ways of thinking.
In this episode, I'm going to be breaking down 3 common thinking errors that you might be making with food, and how to shift to a more helpful mindset.
By making these mindset shifts, you'll start to have more trust with yourself around all types of food, while also taking care of your health and being kind to your body. That's food freedom, folks, and it's a beautiful thing.

| 6 Unpopular Opinions That I Have About Nutrition and Health as a Dietitian | 26 Apr 2023 | 00:40:00 | |
Do you have any unpopular opinions? I certainly do, especially about things in the health and wellness space. Today I'm going to share 6 of my counter-cultural opinions - things that I stand behind with conviction. Some of these might surprise you because they are in such stark contrast to what our society tells us is "healthy."
More than anything, I hope that this episode will give you permission to be a more critical consumer of information in the health and wellness space and to question the things that we hear that we "should" do for ourselves.
Health isn't a black-and-white issue. There is so much gray area in between. Things that are helpful for some people might not be for others - and that's ok! As you (hopefully) are rebuilding trust with yourself, you'll develop the confidence to do what's right for YOU (without diet culture telling you how to do it).

If so, what's the best way to set those boundaries?

I'm going to help you figure out how to protect your peace, when to say something, what types of things tend to be the most helpful to say, and how to set helpful boundaries.

Around here, no food is off limits. ALL foods can fit (unless you're straight up allergic to them, obviously). And just like nothing's off limits with food - nothing's off limits with your questions.
In this Ask Me Anything episode, I'm answering YOUR burning questions that members of my Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook group submitted, and grab the fire extinguisher because they're comin' in H-O-T-T.
Questions Answered:
❓ If I still want to lose weight, does that mean I'm not fully integrating intuitive eating into my life?
❓ Does anyone lose weight with intuitive eating?
❓ How do I navigate emotional eating and impulsive eating?
❓ How do mental health disorders impact intuitive eating?
❓ Help! I have night eating syndrome, depression, and am in perimenopause, and I'm still eating at night. What should I focus on next?
❓ How does perimenopause impact our ability to intuitively eat? And how does it impact weight and cravings?
❓ What's the average length of time it takes to become an intuitive eater?
❓ How long should it take to "decharm" a food?
❓ Does too much sugar really cause withdrawals and spikes in blood sugar levels?
❓ How do I navigate anxiety/overwhelm and hunger at the same time while feeling good?

| How To Deal With Constant Hunger When You Give Up Dieting | 11 Apr 2023 | 00:37:25 | |
Have you tried to quit dieting only to find yourself constantly hungry? And even if you quit dieting a long time ago, do you have random days where you're hungrier than usual?
If so, you're not alone. It's a totally normal part of the process, and that controlling your food in response to constant hunger isn't going to help. (In fact, it's probably going to make things worse.)
In this episode, I'm going to walk you through reasons why the constant hunger sometimes happens, how long to expect it to last, and tips for meals and snacks to keep you satisfied (without the deprivation and while still honoring your cravings).
Spoiler alert: I have days where I'm constantly hungry too. These strategies I'm going to share for pairing food together strategically would also apply for those random days where you're hungry nonstop. I really want to normalize this as a normal thing that happens to us as humans, and to reassure you that it doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.
The most important thing is to notice when it's happening, to be curious about what your body is telling you, and to think about how you can respond with compassion and kindness towards your body.

| Tired of Obsessing About Food 24/7 or Feeling Like Food Has Power Over You? Listen Up... | 04 Apr 2023 | 00:38:43 | |
Do you find yourself thinking about food constantly? You're not alone. This is one of the most common struggles that I hear from people who reach out to me asking for help. And it makes sense that we as a society are so food-obsessed. Dieting and labeling food as good and bad sets us up to think about it more.
If you're ready to have peace with food, and to stop obsessing constantly about what you're eating, what you're going to eat, what you wish you could eat…Then this episode is for you.
In the episode, you'll hear:
When you're not obsessively thinking about food you'll find that you have more space to focus on the things that *actually* matter to you. You deserve to have and easy and peaceful relationship with food.
Go ahead and hit play, and give it a listen!
