| A Refreshing Perspective on COVID Weight Gain | 25 Apr 2021 | 00:34:24 | |
As more and more begins to open up as a result of the vaccinations, many people are beginning to talk about, "the COVID 15" (or 20, 25, 50, etc.). Most of this talk of weight gain is done from a negative perspective ... a negative thing that needs to be fixed ASAP. How do people usually attempt to "fix" it? Yep, another diet. | |||
| How Being Full and Being Satisfied are Two Different Things | 22 Nov 2021 | 00:42:36 | |
Satisfaction is completely different than being full after a meal or snack. We can be full without being satisfied with a meal. It's not that every meal or snack needs to be a perfect mix of flavors and textures that touches our soul and leaves us feeling completely content and satisfied. However, there is a very good reason that Intuitive Eating includes a specific principle for honoring your hunger, feeling your fullness, AND discovering the satisfaction factor. | |||
| Recognizing and Monitoring Progress Without the Scale or Measurements | 18 Apr 2021 | 00:38:46 | |
Two of the most common metrics used to evaluate the "success" or "progress" of someone on a journey to improve their health are the change in the scale and the number of inches/centimeters lost. However, these numbers don't tell you anything about what that person did to make these changes. | |||
| How Can Eating for Pleasure and Satisfaction Actually Promote Better Health? | 14 Apr 2021 | 00:42:32 | |
An important principle of intuitive eating is discovering the satisfaction factor. This means that when we eat, we should find pleasure and satisfaction in not only the amount we eat but also the food choices we make. | |||

| Body Image: The Importance of Our Language and Attitudes | 21 Mar 2021 | 00:59:31 | |
What we think about our bodies and the bodies of others around us has a powerful impact on not only our emotional health but even our physical health. How? When we constantly evaluating our bodies and/or the bodies of others, we are more likely to try to change our bodies to try to measure up to some ideal standard dictated by society. This is not healthy. Attempting to shrink (or grow) our bodies to try to achieve an arbitrary shape or size almost always backfires. | |||
| Post-Lockdown School and Workday Lunches | 13 Mar 2021 | 00:48:41 | |
At the time of this recording, the world is a year into the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on where you're located in the world, you have likely experienced some form of voluntary or even mandatory lockdown whether that be limiting social gatherings, working from home, and/or schooling from home. As many places around the world have started to return to work and school outside the home, what a great time to talk about school and workday lunches! | |||
| Exercise, Physical Activity, and Movement | 06 Mar 2021 | 00:45:30 | |
Exercise is often seen as a tool for burning calories. While it does require energy as measured in kilocalories, there are so many other benefits! Diet culture has conditioned many of us to see exercise as a way to earn our food (especially "treats"), or to burn off food for a day/meal where we "cheated" or were "bad." This is extremely unfortunate because all movement brings tremendous benefits that have nothing to do with burning off food! Some of these include cardiovascular benefits, improved insulin sensitivity (i.e. better regulation of blood glucose), psychological/emotional benefits, appetite regulation, strength improvements, and the list goes on. In addition, most of these benefits come without any need for weight loss! | |||

| Intuitive Eating, What is "Health", and Child Nutrition With Morgan Skatz, RDN | 24 Feb 2021 | 01:01:32 | |
In this episode, we had an amazing and incredibly insightful conversation with a special guest, Morgan Watterson Skatz, RDN. Morgan focuses on helping families raise intuitive eaters. She wants (and believes that it is possible) for meal times/eating to be fun for all families, all people, and all ages! Her work is always under the Intuitive Eating umbrella. She also believes that everyone has the right to pursue health and the right to be respected, no matter their body size. We delved into diet culture, how it impacts how we eat, and the way we feed our children. We spoke about how the scales can, and do, impact our mental health and how important it is to question our own behaviors if we are to help our children become competent eaters who trust their own bodies.

| Children's Mental Health: 2 Nutritionists/Parents Share Personal Insights and Experiences | 07 Feb 2021 | 01:01:36 | |

| Food Environment, Cultural Influences, and Ultra-processed Food | 02 Feb 2021 | 01:03:14 | |
In this episode, we discuss several important topics related to our modern food environment, cultural influences, ultra-processed food, and more. How should we approach these factors? Should we allow them to dictate the foods we should and should not eat? Or, should we apply this understanding in a different way? | |||

| Avoiding Panic When Things Don't Go As You'd Hoped | 18 Jan 2021 | 00:44:06 | |
In this episode, we discuss a common scenario. You're doing everything "right" but whatever measure of progress you're using doesn't seem to reflect your hard work. For many of us, that's the number on the scale. We have a tendency to react when things aren't progressing as we'd hoped by trying to make aggressive changes to the things we're doing. What are those aggressive changes? Often it's cutting out foods we love (fun foods) or aggressively restrict calories. | |||
| How to Approach "Sugar/Food Addiction" | 03 Jan 2021 | 00:51:13 | |

| 3 Common Approaches to Weight Loss/Dieting Heading Into a New Year | 26 Dec 2020 | 01:12:21 | |
The dieting industry and fitness culture push the idea that in order to be happy we must wear a certain size, look a certain way, and have the scale read within a certain range. They don't come right out and say it, but this is the veiled message many people hear this time of year.

In this episode, we discuss some of the differences in teaching "food" in contrast to teaching "nutrition" when it comes to educating and equipping our children.

| Division of Responsibility in Feeding Children | 23 Oct 2020 | 00:38:18 | |
In this episode, Rebecca and Jeff discuss an important concept in feeding our children referred to as the division of responsibility. This model divides the responsibility of the parent and the child in the feeding process. Incorporating this concept helps develop a healthy relationship with food where children don't feel pressure or guilt when eating. It also helps children to develop and nurture their innate ability to regulate their own food intake. | |||
