394: The Role of a Therapist in Eating Disorder Recovery with Leehe Negri, LMHC Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

Today on the show I'm honored to have Leehe Negri on the show to share with you the role a therapist plays in eating disorder recovery, how Leehe helps her clients identify diet culture in their lives and how a dietitian and therapist can complement each other in helping their clients thrive.

Leehe is a licensed mental health counselor, located in Boca Raton, FL. She works with adults with a broad spectrum of diagnoses and struggles. Leehe specializes in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) for depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder; EMDR trauma therapy for PTSD and other trauma-related struggles; and Intuitive Eating for eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues. She works with individuals, couples, and families, and provides services in English and Hebrew.

Leehe's main objective is to guide her clients in cultivating self-empowerment, wisdom, and liberation. She carefully attends to each client by implementing interventions that are uniquely targeted for his, her, or their background and goals. Leehe guides her clients in becoming their own therapists, as they learn how to master effective coping strategies and life-changing insight on their own. She creates a therapeutic environment, in which her clients feel safe, heard, and understood, while guiding them through the journey of discovering their authentic self.

In this episode we discuss:

Leehe explains who she is and what exactly is a psychotherapist.
What inspired Leehe to focus on eating disorder recovery to better help her clients.
How to identify red flags in your relationship with food and body.
Psychological components that influence the development of eating disorders and disordered eating.
How Leehe lives wellness without obsession.

392: Your Weight is Not Your Worth Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

If I were to ask you, what is your self worth dependent on, how would you answer? Would it be the grades you make in school? The accolades you hold in your job? How hard you work? How good of a mom you are?

What about your body? Do you feel that your body is THE thing that either provides you self worth, or is the very thing that you feel constantly holds you back from viewing yourself in a positive light?

And maybe that's why you're always on and off diets. You're always searching the latest and greatest diet to finally "fix your body". Because you feel like once you fix your body, everything else will work out. You're not alone if you feel that way. Because that's the lie we are sold from diet culture.

In today's episode, I hope to challenge you with what you believe about your own self worth.

If you're ready to develop positive self worth, and to make peace with food and your body, join Food & Body Peace Playbook for our October cohort and final group for 2022.

FBPP is for for you if:

You want more mental space and freedom from thinking about food & your body 24/7, so you can focus on the things in life that truly matter.
You may still have the desire to lose weight, but you know the diets and clean eating schemes have gotten you nowhere, so you're ready for a new approach to eating and health.
You may be a little nervous to make peace with food & your body, but you're ready to trust your body again and change the way you view food.
You want to understand how to eat and care for your body, without the food and 'fix my body' obsession.
You have tried to figure out Intuitive Eating on your own, you may have even read the book, but doing this on your own has caused so much confusion and overwhelm.
You're ready to receive guidance and accountability from our expert team and the other like-minded women who join Food & Body Peace Playbook.
You want to change your relationship with food and your body so that you can be a good example to those around you (especially your children).

Who FBPP is not for:

You're looking for a quick fix.
You're looking for a weight loss program.
You're looking for an "eat this, not that" diet solution.
You're not ready to change your mindset on food and your body.

Remember you have until October 9th to join our October cohort, which will be the final round for 2022.

391: 5 Ways to Feel More Confident in Your Body on a Daily Basis Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

What if you could get dressed everyday without negative body talk? And what if you could feel confident in your body without changing what you eat?

Today on the podcast, we are going to cover 5 specific ways to feel more confident in your body on a daily basis.

And why do we want to experience confidence in our bodies? Confidence allows us to:

Eat ice cream AND feel confident your body can handle it.
Put on a bathing suit without freaking out over what your stomach looks like.
Eat for the entire day without logging it into My Fitness Pal.
Trust that your body has your back, allowing flexible health habits in your life that stick.

Confidence in your body goes so much deeper than confidence in the way your body looks. It's confidence in what your body can do for you, the life it facilitates for you.

I mean think about it, you're going to live in this body for the rest of your life. Don't you want to feel confident in your body, not so much from a looks perspective although that's great too, but more so confidence that your body will and can take care of you?

If you are ready to gain the tools to have confidence in your body for life: Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) is our signature 8 week group coaching program that will help you build trust in your body so that you can gain confidence in it.

And what this means to you is that you can wake up everyday, feeling excited to get dressed.

FBPP covers three tiers of body image work (understanding our body beliefs, body image is brain work, and how to respect and come home to your body) so that you can experience confidence again in your body.

Know that as you listen to today's episode, we are OFFICIALLY open for enrollment for our October cohort. You have from today to Sunday, October 9th or until all spots fill to join, and you can find the link to join BY CLICKING HERE!

390: What Exactly is Diet Culture and How Does it Cause Food Guilt Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

Do you constantly feel guilty for what you eat? And does the guilt you feel about food involve concern over how that food is going to impact your body, i.e. will it cause weight gain?

Have you ever thought about WHY you feel guilty about what you eat? In today's episode we explore the main culprit of food guilt, diet culture, and how it causes food guilt.

Because here's the truth: Guilt and shame take us away from listening to our bodies. Before we can listen to the body, we need to reject diet mentality, remove the negative emotions and morality involved around food, and take us away from listening to our bodies.

So in order to feel at peace around all foods, and to feel good in your body, you've got to work through these beliefs and emotions you have around both food and your body, which is exactly what we do inside Food & Body Peace Playbook.

Food & Body Peace Playbook is a mindset focused program. 5 out of 8 modules are focused on helping you shift to viewing food and your body in a positive manner.

This means the internal chatter will shift into language that is compassionate, caring and trusting in your body and how you care for it. And what this really means? Your mind will be free to focus on the things in life that truly matter!

Spots are filling fast for our group coaching program, Food & Body Peace Playbook. If you want to work towards food and body peace in a community of like-minded people so you can learn and grow together, you'll want to fill out your application form soon! We are currently at 7/10 spots filled.

389: Experiencing Intense Hunger Now That You Are No Longer Dieting with Megan Perez RD/N Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever experienced extreme hunger when you stopped dieting? Maybe you went from barely any hunger at all, and you stopped following Weight Watchers, paleo, keto, etc and now you cannot stop thinking about food?

Or maybe for you it's that the feeling of hunger is complicated to you. You often ignore, push it away, which then leads you to get to the state of primal hunger at the end of the day and eat everything in sight.

The truth is, hunger is an interoceptive cue of the body that we've been taught is bad, or to ignore, or that if we experience it too often, we aren't doing something right.

In today's episode, one of the incredible dietitians at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Megan Perez, walks through why hunger is a complicated sensation, and what to do to befriend your hunger.

You'll walk away with actionable steps to better manage your hunger going forward, and make sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode for updates from me and announcements you're gonna want to hear!

In this episode I reference our new Meal Planning Guide, the Fear of Weight Gain Masterclass and here is the link to Megan's packages.
