Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

If you genuinely believe that you can't stop yourself from overeating with certain foods, we need to talk about that. Because that's not intuitive eating. So many people tell me, "If I ate intuitively I'd eat an entire package of cookies or bag of chips every day." NO YOU WOULDN'T…Not if you were doing intuitive eating correctly. Your body doesn't "intuitively" want to eat in a way that is excessive or makes you feel like crap. So if that's what is happening to you, then you're not an intuitive eater…YET. Let's fix this today. Episode Highlights - The major flaw in the evidence you're using to convince yourself that you can't be trusted with Oreos - Why the path through this requires you to EAT the Oreos, not avoid them. - Why intuitive eating often looks worse before it looks better. - The REAL goal we are aiming for…and it's not to eat fewer Oreos. It's much bigger than that. Today's Wellness Woo is the book "Always Hungry" by Dr. David Ludwig.

You care about your health. I believe you. And you feel torn between your health vs intuitive eating, because it feels like intuitive eating isn't supporting your health. In this episode I'm going to break down how you've got your thinking backwards on this because of how diet culture has warped things, and you're going to see what it actually looks like to honor your health while doing intuitive eating, and without creating a bunch of new food rules that you feel guilty about breaking. Episode Highlights -The WILD things we've been told to do to "get healthier" that are utter nonsense -How diet culture has distorted what it even means to be healthy (it's NOT all about weight and food) -The real definition of health that includes your mental, physical and social wellbeing -What variables are having the biggest impact on your health, and how to create your diversified "Health Portfolio" -Specific examples of daily actions you can take to legitimately honor your health that aren't diet-y Today's Wellness Woo is jaw release for healing trauma.

IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, PLEASE RATE THE PODCAST!! If intuitive eating feels like you're doing nothing but eating unhealthy and gaining weight, and you're thinking about going back to dieting and measuring your food…Don't do anything else before you listen to this. We need to have a "real talk" conversation about what it actually takes to become an intuitive eater, and the hard and uncomfortable parts of it that lead most people to quit. Episode Highlights -Intuitive eating stops being fun once you realize that you don't have the coping skills you need for the hard things in your life. You've GOT TO develop these skills, or intuitive eating won' t work for you. -Most people quit during the "messy middle" because they think that the discomfort means it's not working or that they're not cut out for it. FALSE. -Dieting gave you a false sense of certainty (and false promises), and now you're having to tolerate a LOT of uncertainty in order to become a full-fledged intuitive eater. It's not easy. But it's 100% worth it. Today's Wellness Woo is the term "natural."

You decided you were DONE with dieting…so you started eating All. The. Things. Now instead of obsessing about calories and how much weight you've lost, you're obsessing about the sweet treat you're going to eat later, eating until you're stuffed on pasta because it tastes sooooo good, and ordering the most indulgent thing on the menu during date night at your favorite restaurant - just because you can. On one hand it's fun…But on the other hand you know that this isn't actually a healthy way of living forever. But don't panic. This doesn't have to completely derail your intuitive eating journey or send you back to dieting. It's just a detour, and in this episode we're going to reroute you back on course to making peace with food and listening to your body, so you can eat in sync with what your body needs. Episode Highlights -Why revenge eating happens -The #1 mistake people make after they start revenge eating -4 steps to breaking out of the revenge eating cycle -A hard truth that you might not be ready to hear (but you need to) Today's Wellness Woo is the term "root cause."

If you ever struggle with overeating at night while watching TV, scrolling your phone, reading a great book, or whatever you like to do to unwind before bed…This is for you. A lot of people assume that in order to stop overeating at night they need to tell themselves they can't eat past 8pm, or not keep those foods in the house, or that they need to be more disciplined with the food. But the reality is that these tactics don't work - because they don't address the biological and psychological reasons you're overeating in the first place. In this episode we're going to look at what those reasons are and address them head-on. Episode Highlights -The mistake you're probably making earlier in the day that's setting you up for "backdoor hunger" at night. -How sneaky forms of restriction (including "mental restriction") are probably increasing your compulsions with food in the evening more than you even realize. -How to create a conscious evening routine that breaks the overeating cycle - rather than trying to white-knuckle it.

You've been trying to "do" intuitive eating…but it still feels messy, confusing, or like you're somehow getting it wrong. In this episode, I'm breaking down the REAL missing ingredient that no one is talking about: self-compassion. Not the fluffy "just love yourself" version, but the research-backed approach from Kristin Neff and Chris Germer that actually helps you change your behavior for good. We're diving into the balance of tender and fierce self-compassion, and why you need BOTH for intuitive eating to truly click. I'll show you how shame is the unseen driving force behind most of your struggles with food and body image, and how self-compassion is the antidote that allows you to build real trust with your body. If intuitive eating hasn't fully "worked" for you yet, this might be the piece you've been missing that changes everything for you. Episode Highlights -Why shame is at the root of food struggles and how it blocks intuitive eating -The difference between tender and fierce self-compassion and when to use each -How self-compassion helps you stop the restrict-binge cycle and actually trust your body Today's Wellness Woo is lipotropic injections.

In this episode we're digging into body dysmorphia, body image, and how the stories that your brain tells you about your body are making it impossible for you to trust your body. When your perception of your body becomes distorted, those thoughts can feel completely logical. And before you realize it, you're stuck in a cycle of distrusting your hunger, tracking and measuring your food, and relying on the scale to tell you if you're "doing okay." If you constantly feel like something is wrong with your body…this episode might change the way you see everything. Hit play and let's go! Episode Highlights -What body dysmorphia actually does to the way you perceive your body -How body image distortion turns into the beliefs that keep you dieting or controlling food -Why the scale becomes a "reality check" when you stop trusting your own perception -How this cycle erodes your ability to trust your body with food -The 1st ESSENTIAL step toward rebuilding trust with your body again Today's Wellness Woo is Prolon.

So you ditched dieting, stopped tracking and decided to start doing intuitive eating, and therefore you gave yourself permission to eat whatever you want. And now it feels a bit chaotic, unstructured, and you find yourself wondering, "Am I doing this right?" as you watch the number on the scale go up, and your labs get worse. If intuitive eating has gotten twisted into grabbing whatever's in front of you, finishing food just because it's there, or telling yourself "I'm allowed to" without ever actually checking in with your body…this episode is your wake-up call. Because that's not intuitive eating. It's IMPULSIVE eating. (oops…that's ok we're going to fix it today!) If you've been wondering why intuitive eating hasn't fully "clicked" yet, this episode will show you exactly what's missing, and what it actually takes to become someone who lives this work instead of just understanding the gist of it. Episode Highlights -The critical difference between permission and chaos -Why "eat whatever, whenever" is missing key components -The skill set most people skip over that's damaging your health -What REAL intuitive eating looks like in everyday life Today's Wellness Woo is longevity medicine.

Do you weigh yourself "just to check"? Promise the number won't ruin your day…and then it does? Feel unsettled when you don't know your weight? If the scale feels like something you need for reassurance, this episode is for you. Today, we're unpacking why your attachment to the scale makes sense after all these decades living in a society obsessed with weight, and why the problem isn't the scale itself, but the emotional job you've assigned it. We'll explore the anxiety-relief-dependence cycle, the hidden cost of constant self-monitoring, and why this dynamic gets in the way of you being able to eat intuitively, make peace with food, and trust your hunger and fullness cues. Episode Highlights -The job we've assigned to the scale that it's not qualified for (and how it's destroying your ability to trust yourself with food) -How the scale puts you in the position of making decisions out of fear, and not what you body actually needs -Small, doable experiments to help you loosen the grip of the scale, without going into all-or-nothing thinking Today's Wellness Woo is red light therapy.

Eating disorders aren't always obvious, and they are often overlooked in the intuitive eating space. I've seen way too many people feel frustrated that they're not making progress with intuitive eating - and blame themselves - when the real issue was that there was an underlying eating disorder preventing them from making progress. So how can you tell if you have an eating disorder? And what do I say to a client when I suspect this is what's happening? I'm going to break all of it down for you in this episode. Whether you have a history of an eating disorder (or disordered eating), or you wonder if you might have one now, or you're just curious…this episode is going to help you understand what to look for. And if you're a dietitian, therapist or health and wellness professional, this is going to be a GREAT episode for you because it's going to give you a peek behind the curtain of how I navigate these discussions.

Episode Highlights ✨ The most common types of eating disorders (it's probably not what you would envision) ✨ Subtle and sneaky indicators that you might have an eating disorder ✨ How I bring it up with a client if I think they might have an eating disorder…and how this changes the approach with food (+ what stays the same) Today's Wellness Woo is mushroom coffee Resources Mentioned - National Eating Disorders Association Website - Academy for Eating Disorders Medical Guide - EAT-26 Self-Assessment Questionnaire - Email or DM me for my free guide for professionals Read the full episode show notes here.
