Welcome to round 2 of a day in the life of….me!

If you are a momma, momma to be, or you just love learning about pediatric nutrition- this episode is for you!   I am SO excited about today's podcast guest, Megan McNamee RD/N of Feeding Littles. I personally purchased the online course on baby led weaning when my daughter was 6 months old, and I found it so supportive in helpi...

Today we are going to chat why clean eating is a diet in disguise. If you attended the why diets don't work workshop this will be a review, but i wanted to turn parts of the workshop into a podcast episode because this information was too good not to share here!   I wanted to started by saying that I find most people don't think they are dieting, but indeed they are...which is the purpose of the e...

Are you scared of being or becoming fat? The truth is that most of us are, and it keeps us stuck in the dieting cycle, and lacking trust in our bodies.    On the podcast today, I have guest and fierce fatty, Victoria Welsby, to help you understand what exactly is fat phobia and how fearing becoming fat and shaming fat people isn't helping any of us live happier and healthier lives.   Victoria Wels...

I've been shifting more of my body image content lately to help you focus first on body respect. Because before anything else, you need to respect yourself and your body, first.   When you immerse yourself in the intuitive eating/non-diet world it can be common to feel as if you need to immediately love your body and feel positive about it at all times. And then you feel shame if that's not your r...

Don't forget to sign up for the free workshop I'll be hosting next week, called Why Diet's Don't Work (and what to do instead).   The workshop will cover the science of why diets don't work, what to do instead and understanding what exactly intuitive eating is (and is not).

This month, the podcast will hit our three year anniversary. And for THREE YEARS now share my adoration for intuitive eating...and it all started from a realization years ago, that diets don't work. I saw it in my personal life after a 10 year battle of on and off again diets and developing orthorexia as a result. I saw it in my clients. In my friends and family members and co-workers. I saw it in...

Let's begin this episode with a reflection on your thoughts and beliefs surrounding carbohydrates (carbs). Have you ever sat down with your journal, and thought about which foods you specifically fear and why? Are there specific foods you limit, restrict or fear consuming? What about food groups? Write down anything you may fear, even if you believe it's coming from a "good place" like in the name...

I am thrilled to have Candace Molatore on the podcast today. I have followed Candace on Instagram for quite awhile now, and I have to say I'm obsessed! She is beautiful, with impeccable style, but more importantly- her words and writing speak to me so much. She's like that calm, nurturing and honest friend that you cling on to every word she says to learn and do better as a person yourself.   Cand...

Spoiler alert: This episode is NOT going to be what you think it is. Because the truth is, if you see ANYONE telling you that you can intentionally lose weight and practice intuitive eating, run far, far away.   Today's episode is to briefly share what can happen to your weight as you enter into intuitive eating, but the main purpose of this episode is to walk you through the many emotions involve...

This episode begins with a couple updates, including a continuation of our anti-racism conversation we've been having all summer long.

I have a feeling you've seen the Instagram graphics stating the ridiculous-ness that is the BMI scale. And I agree, it's bogus. And today's episode I'm going to help you understand why that is.   The best place to start is who came up with the BMI scale. The BMI scale was created by a mathematician, astronomer and statistician,  Adophle Quetelet,  in 1832 to measure weights across a given populati...

Click here to get your hands on my new free mini course, the Summer Reset!

Click here to get your hands on my new free mini course, the Summer Reset! Today's podcast I am going to share my thoughts on a common hormonal trend called seed cycling.   While food (meaning eating ENOUGH), reducing exercise, managing stress and sleeping enough are the primary factors  we look for to help our clients get their periods back, and get them consistent, there can be a time and place...

Click here to get your hands on my new free mini course, the Summer Reset!

White women and men viewed the...

This episode begins with an update on my anti-racism education and what I'm learning. I share about the book, Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings and how I'm learning how the body, and specifically the female body, was objectified and used as justification for slavery (and later became the root of diet culture). I also took at anti-racism course for wellness professionals this week by Chriss...

Instead I shared BIPOC content and took a lot of time to listen, learn and reflect.   In t...

I've always been a fan of acupuncture. I think it's fascinating to think the same acupuncture points have been used for thousands of years. This traditional method of medicine is a great option for those looking for additional routes to help heal or just take care of your overall wellness! Plus, it can be a great option for fertility, period resumption and healing heal hormonal imbalances. I had t...

In the past dieting was, for the most part, about villainizing just a particular macronutrient, like carbs or fat, or villainizing calories in general. These days, you can find a reason on the internet to villainize literally any food out there.   The truth is, you can find research to support just about any claim out there. And while I think evidenced based protocols are highly important, we have...
