Fitness & Sushi

Fitness & Sushi is the podcast for women ready to stop dieting and start healing.

Hosted by Deanna Schober, creator of the Ideal Body Formula™, this show helps women over 40 recover from decades of emotional eating, binge eating, body image issues, and yo-yo dieting.

This isn’t about willpower, calorie counting, or chasing the next diet trend.

It’s about healing your relationship with food, your body, and your mind — so you can finally feel in control around food, stop obsessing over your weight, and live your life without guilt or shame.

Each episode covers the topics most searched by women struggling with food and body:

How to stop emotional eating

Healing binge eating

Body image after 40

Intuitive eating for women in midlife

Exercise motivation without punishment

Perimenopause weight gain

How to stop yo-yo dieting

Food freedom and self-trust

Breaking generational body shame

Rebuilding confidence and self-worth

These are the real conversations behind lasting change — the kind that lead to mental freedom, peaceful eating, and finally feeling at home in your own body.

New episodes weekly.
