Episode 10: Navigating the Fear Gaining Weight + Is the EVIDENCE on Detox Diets Substantial? 18.11.2020 30:59

As a Dietitian, a part of my job and practice is to provide research backed nutrition interventions.  This episode starts off discussing detox diets (juice cleanses, tonic, elixirs etc) and the evidence (or lack of) to their numerous health claims.  Is it too good to be true? Short answer: yes. This episode wraps with a topic many of us are accustomed to: the fear of gaining weight. &nbs...

Episode 9: How to ESCAPE Diet Talk and WHY You Should 11.11.2020 28:43

Diet talk is inevitable.  It was always be there but we don't need to partake in the conversation.  We can also be the ones the change the situation and stand up for ourselves.  We can be the ones to defend and protect ourselves (and maybe help change others, though that is not the point of this).  And why do we want to extinguish and disengage in diet talk for the greater good...

Episode 8 Functional Strength and Exercise with Tatianna Lampa 05.11.2020 49:00

Tatianna Lampa is a fitness idol of mine.  She holds a B.S. in Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, is a Corrective Exercise Specialist and she's even a fitness model (totally super jealous of that!).   Why I respect Tatianna? First off, she's super sweet, friendly and intelligent in her craft.  I met her at conferences and have seen her at a ton of workshops and conference throughout m...

Episode 7: 5 Ways Diets Are Harmful + A Plea to Action 28.10.2020 34:00

Dieting has harmed more people I have interacted with than it has done good.  In this episode I discuss 5 ways (plus 1 bonus) that diets are harmful to our health and society.  And while I discuss only 5, just know there are more out there to be mentioned.  I urge you to listen with an open mind.

Improve Your Relationship with Food and Body Image with Acceptance Work 30.09.2020 34:32

Ever hear "accept your body" and roll your eyes?  Sick of toxic positivity that makes happiness seem like the ultimate feeling you should feel all the time?  Yes, then this is for you. Acceptance is a practice, an action of moving through negative emotions, feeling all of its stickiness and ickiness to get to a place of stillness.  In this episode, I discuss how moving through these...

Episode 2: The Courage to Run with Gab Bolin 23.09.2020 58:26

Running isn't a favorite of mine, but Gab's expertise and guidance on running has made it much more enjoyable for me.

You can find her on Instagram @gab.bolin and at https://www.gabriellebolin.com/.
