Diet Disruptors

Carrie and Deb are back for another episode in our What’s Really Weighing You Down series. And this one, is a controversial topic that we are hitting hard. Obesity is a sensitive topic and there is a lot of blame and shame that comes with it. Carrie and Deb are raising a very important question – is obesity really a disease?  Or, has obesity actually been manufactured by humans? Consider this...

Carrie loves a Real Talk with Real Clients episode and this week we are featuring DN client turned coach, Kim! Like many of the women we talk to, Kim had been dieting since high school. She always sought permanent results through diet after diet. As you may have suspected, Kim would have temporary results, fall off the diet, and then feel defeated like she had failed, over and over and over again....

Welcome back to another episode in our continuing What’s Really Weighing Us Down series. This week, we are talking about the idea that self judgment is what is constantly weighing us down and we’re talking with Mindset Coach Stephanie Rousseau who is creating a legacy of love by helping women love themselves first. Stephanie realizes the value of a coach having a coach, so she personally started w...

How would you rate your self-confidence? Does it make you uncomfortable to even think about it?! Meet our Disruptive Nutrition member, Katie. In this Real Talk with Real Clients episode, she is sharing her own health journey. Before working in Carrie's private practice, Katie had been on Weight Watchers and was training for a marathon. Although she was losing 3-5 lbs a week on that program while s...

We love our Real Talk with Real Clients episodes! In honor of many who are back to school we are sitting down with school counselor, Jen! She started working with Carrie and her team at the busiest time of year for her school schedule, but it was also the perfect time for a lot of reasons! Jen who at first glance, appeared to be perfectly healthy and fit was on weight watchers when she f...

It’s the second episode in our new What’s Really Weighing You Down series and this week Carrie and Deb are tackling a topic that is at the center of the weight loss debate. Is it weight loss or overall health that you REALLY want? Maybe you’re not even sure of the answer, but when we talk with hundreds of women, 90% of the time, weight loss is always the most important component to what they belie...

  We love a Real Talk with Real Clients episode, and this one might be one of our absolute favorites! You will not believe this transformation in just 2 months! Like many of the women we speak with, Alane had been on a diet rollercoaster for 30 years and that included dealing with metabolic issues. Alane always wanted to feel better, to feel healthy and to lose weight. So, she did what anyone...

We are featuring a Real Talk with Real Clients episode this week and it may be one of our favorite ones yet! Meet Jean, who is a 52-year-old educator, but was living like a 75-year-old when Carrie met her. Not only was Jean on insulin when we met her, but her daily blood sugar was registering in the 400’s and at those levels, she was lucky to be alive.  (Normal blood sugar is between 80-120)....

We are doing something exciting here at The Diet Disruptors Podcast! With this episode, we are officially launching a series designed to help you get to the bottom of what is REALLY weighing you down! 50% of people will have done some sort of diet this year, but 75% of people still have some type of insulin resistance or pre-diabetes diagnosis. That just doesn’t add up!  The messagi...

Summer is here and we are determined to enjoy it!   What are the things you want to do this summer? Travel with your family? Go to the beach once a week? Walk every day? So, how do we get ALL the things done that we actually want to get done?   It’s time for an episode from Carrie’s kitchen. She is literally laying out a plan for you this summer on her kitchen table and you will not be d...

If you’ve been paying attention the last couple of weeks you would know that we just ran an incredible 5-day, LIVE Lifestyle Launch that was entirely free! Carrie was live every day with content related to not only the formula for food freedom that we have created, but also provided details on the Disruptive Nutrition recipe for success!   We received so much feedback from our series and had...

Meet Rosana, who from 13 years old until last January, spent her life searching for the perfect diet to get to the perfect weight. Like many of the women we work with, Rosana says her approach to health was wrong. It was about chasing a size 2 dress size and believing that her value as a woman was tied to how skinny she was and what size she could achieve. She used to believe that eating was someh...

We absolutely love a Real Talk with Real Clients episode. This week we have a special guest who has been with Disruptive Nutrition since March. Meet stay at home mom, Cathie! In just a few short months, she has experienced big shifts that she didn’t expect!   Cathie is a stay-at-home mom, with unique challenges. She has  always put her family first and dedicates special attention to her...

This time of year can feel a little chaotic. Right? School is wrapping up, we have final concerts, recitals, and games, etc. Summer is quickly approaching.   Many of our clients have told us that May brings out mayhem. That both anxiety and low self-esteem show up this month. Bathing suit season is right around the corner, and we start dreading summer vacations on the beach because we ar...

  What does the word healthy really mean? It seems like lately, the word healthy means skinny to the general population. Is that accurate? And are we on the verge of taking that too far?? We, as a culture, have turned into a ‘healthy’ culture. There’s this idea of healthy-ism: it’s an excessive concern and anxiety about being harmed or getting a serious health problem if one is not following...

It’s all over the internet and many of you have asked us about this. The topic of intermittent fasting is a controversial one and Carrie is digging into it today!    Traditionally, all diets are based on the idea of deprivation. We are taught that there is a certain number of calories allowed in a day and we need to stay under that to release weight. The TRUTH is that a healthy body will...

Admittedly, we are totally obsessed with a True Crime binge session and the courtroom has got us thinking about our own motives. The motive is legally irrelevant but always admissible. Why? Because the motive really matters. Just how believable is the story of what happened? Let’s apply this to our own health when we think about the first 5 letters in the word…MOTIV is the same as motivation! It s...

Do you look at food as either good or bad? If you do, you’re not alone. Many of the women we talk with have expressed that food is binary. It’s one thing good, or the other, bad. But this isn’t really the full picture despite many diets wanting you to think that if you just eat healthy, you’ll lose weight and achieve a number on the scale.   There’s a reason those diets inevitably fail, and y...

Do you know what calories actually are? We know that seems like a silly question, but when you’ve grown up in diet culture people seem to view calories as an indicator of how healthy or not food is.    Calories are simply the amount of energy that is in food. Read that again.   250 calories of Oreo cookies is not the same as 250 calories of chicken on a salad, right? The difference...

  Here we go! Many of you have asked for Carrie’s response to this and today, well…she’s giving it. Completely raw and unleashed!  This topic isn’t simple, and it’s laced with confusion and controversy. Not to mention, there is no long-term scientific data to support its safety.   But we get it, right? We see why these drugs are so attractive on the surface. We have been taught, ove...

Sometimes our emotions get a hold of us! How many of you have ever thought SCREW IT! I’m eating the (cake, cookies, ice cream, donuts, etc! And then you feel gross afterward?! You soon realize that you sabotaged yourself because you were on a healthy eating path. You tell yourself you have no willpower, and no control and ask yourself, WHYYYYYY?!   Anyone???   You’re not alone, and it’s...

If you’ve been paying attention the last couple of weeks you would know that we just ran an incredible 5-day (well 6 days really), LIVE Lifestyle Launch that was entirely free! Carrie was live every day with content related to not only the formula for food freedom that we have created, but also provided details on the Disruptive Nutrition recipe for success! We received so much feedback from our s...

Our entire team has been hard at work getting our 5-Day Live Challenge launched this week, so we aren’t going to be live, but are featuring a flashback episode that we think is really important!  We are revisiting the term GHOSTING.  While we all equate ghosting to dating or friendships gone wrong… the most dangerous ghosting of all is the one that so MANY of us are doing to our OWN bodi...

85% of women have disordered eating or lack of confidence in their body. Read that again 85%!!!!  We can’t even blame it on social media because we’ve been influenced for decades to think that our value as women is tied to how we look. Anyone remember that Special K Pinch an Inch campaign!?   In honor of LOVE month, don’t you think it’s time to start loving yourself again!?   We are...

This week we are flashing back to a really important episode about the things we tell ourselves.  Raise your hand if you've been telling yourself you're just too busy to actually make changes related to your overall health! Consider this, your reality is based on how you see things as they appear to YOU and, it's all an illusion! Gasp! We know! Your truth, the thing you tell yourself, is actu...
