Satiated Podcast

Happy Satiated Saturday!  How many food rules guide your food choices? Eat this, don't eat that. This is "good" or "bad." I "should" eat this. I have stopped reading the newsletters even the health professionals I follow are putting out there because honestly, I'm bored. We're receiving the same message again and again even from health professionals str...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  I remember when I was a teenager both loving and hating going to the mall. I loved hanging out with my friends or family. Trying on clothes was often a disappointing experience.  Loud music, horrible lighting, warped mirrors, individual's knocking on the changing room asking if you're alright. It can all feel incredibly overwhelming including the potential loud...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  So let’s say you go on a diet. It promises to provide you everything you have been wanting. Let's say you get exactly what you were looking for from that way of eating. Then what? Diets and cleanses often are not effective to continue to do long term. Going on a diet is like a rom-com movie where the couple finally gets together in the end but we don't see what...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Isn't it absurd the amount of different kinds of diets that exist now?  A lot of these have so much buzz around them that following them becomes a part of someone's identity.

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Whenever I would go through stressful times in my teens and early '20s, my favorite time to binge on food was in the evenings.  I have found over the years that I'm not alone in that experience. Nighttime for many can be the one time in the day where there is finally time to focus on self.  There is no work to do, nowhere to go, just you, your thoughts, and emot...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Wait…Happy Satiated Sunday? At about 9:00 pm last night I realized it was Saturday. I kept thinking it was Friday all day long and realized I had not recorded my Satiated Saturday yet.

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Do you skip meals?  Is your eating inconsistent throughout the day?  Do you find yourself binging every night? If your brain tells you that you don't have time to eat because you have too much to do, you also don't have time to feel ungrounded, unstable, and mentally foggy. If your brain is telling you that if you eat more you will gain weight, skipping meals is...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  If you experience bloating, gas, pain, burping, constipation or diarrhea, acne or rosacea, and a runny nose after every meal, this can potentially be your body's way of letting you know there may be a gut issue occurring.  Trying to optimally nourish ourselves without healing gut issues can leave us feeling frustrated that no matter our best efforts, something always...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  I live in a sensitive body and my anxiety has been at an all-time high this past week.  Feeling anxiety is not new to me. It’s something I have chosen to navigate in natural ways for as long as I can remember. I experience anxiety as my friend, which is not something our culture teaches us to do. Whenever we feel intense emotions we are told it’s just in our head, get ove...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  You might have heard the saying the one consistent relationship we have in our life is the one we have with ourselves. There is another relationship that is there throughout our entire lives and that is the one we have with our food.  We can have an intimate relationship with our food where our food patterns, cravings, urges, and choices can inform us and support us.  Foo...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  With my Satiated Podcast, I’m striving to break things down into manageable bite-sized action steps. I found on my journey of cultivating a more peaceful and accepting relationship with food and body that there were a lot of different guidance and suggestions.  The bombardment of suggestions often left me with more questions of where do I begin and what steps do I need to...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  When I find myself having similar conversations in my sessions throughout a week, it usually is a red flag for me that this is something that is missing as available information and education in our culture.  I talk a lot about befriending our emotions, but how exactly do we do that?  We receive a lot of messages in our culture around just letting something go, but is tha...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Today, we are going to dive into what I like to call the F#!k It Phase.  Have you ever gone through a period of time where you just wanted to eat whatever you wanted to eat whenever you wanted to eat it?

In this episode, we explore the impact of rhythmic eating and what a rhythm...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Have you ever experienced binge eating?  Did you judge that behavior?  Did you see it as something you needed to get rid of or that was “wrong?”  Did it make you feel weak? Binging is not bad. Our habits and patterns around food are often guiding us toward deeper needs and desires. So this behavior is not something to be ashamed of. If you have experienced binging in the...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  With the New Year coming up next week, I wanted to offer a different strategy to enter into the new year that does not include a New Years' resolution.  What I have seen over and over again is that these resolutions become something for an individual to beat themselves up about. That is not the way we are going to enter into this new year, this new decade.  In this e...
