Nourished Fertility (A Period Recovery + Fertility Podcast)

Healthy body image isn't about focusing on what your body looks like...or even trying necessarily to change that. Sure, it could be a byproduct of this work for some people. But for many of you, that may not even be a goal. And believe it or not, that's okay!   As you'll learn in this episode, healthy body image is less about your looks and more about practicing body respect. It's learning how to...

In today's episode I am reposting one of our favorite Tuesday podcast episodes all about honoring your hunger and fullness. One of the most common complaints I hear from my listeners, online course students and clients is annoyance with your hunger and your body's cues to eat.

Today's episode is an important conversation that NEEDS to be in podcast form. I've touched on thin privilege on Instagram posts and with guests on the show, but I wanted an entire episode dedicated to the subject.   Here's what I want you to understand about thin privilege: Your body image struggles are real no matter your size. Your experience and struggles are real and valid. But we have to be...

I recently shared a post on perfectionism and the unhealthy obsession with eating healthy and it resonated with SO many of you, so I wanted to share more in depth in today's episode.   In the post I shared, that I'm not sure I've ever worked with a client that's had orthorexia and didn't also seriously struggle with perfectionism, people pleasing and fear of lack of control.   I also know this too...

Or maybe instead invite you to consider a different ending to 2020.   The vast majority of you that are here, tuning in every week to listen to the show, are here b...

This episode is quite different from my usual episodes! What started off as a quest to understand insight into the diet recommendations of the health and wellness world, and an episode that was going to explain why "lifestyles" are definitely diets in disguise, turned into an episode of me sharing my honest, real thoughts on why I'm so angry and upset at the messages of "lifestyles" to follow.   W...

I'm going to start this episode off with a rant of how bad diet culture is right now. I live in my non-diet bubble so much that sometimes I forget HOW BAD it is out there. I'm continuing to realize how prevalent diet culture is and how much we need to keep spreading our message. And I get that intuitive eating sounds like a different world. And that's because it is. It's about behavior change and...

It's been a long time since we last had a podcast episode on intermittent fasting and I thought it was due time to an update, review of the research and to have an honest conversation with you about your need for rules.   It's common and totally okay to have questions about what is intuitive eating aligned and what is not when it comes to health trends, and even nutrition research. Because intuiti...

Trigger warning - this episode will share specific calorie numbers, if this is triggering for you please follow your gut and not listen to this episode.   This podcast episode was inspired by the response I saw to the "1200 calories a day is the amount a 2 year old needs daily" post I shared recently on Instagram, and even Jillian Micheals recent "take on intuitive eating".    Plus, it's the day a...

Holy SHIT this episode is SO good. If you are a woman learning how to do uncomfortable things, this episode is for you.   I was almost nervous to listen to this episode for edits because I remember what we talked about felt so raw. So often, I'm sharing content that I'm an expert in, but this episode, this is more of the thick of where I'm at in life, walking with you on this journey to do uncomfo...

This episode is inspired by a graphic we shared from the woman's dietitian, so I wanted to shout out Cory for inspiring this episode.  I also wanted to record this episode because it seems to be a taboo subject, where we all NEED to know what to do, but it's so rarely touched upon! Back in the day, women were told their vaginas were dirty and needed to be cleaned and smell good to keep their husba...
