374: Megan Perez RD/N on How Much Fiber is Too Much Fiber Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

Dietitian at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Megan Perez, is back on the show today! In today's episode, Megan guides us through a better understanding of what fiber is, sources of fiber in the diet and the health benefits of fiber.

Since Megan works with clients on gentle nutrition, especially for her PCOS clients with some degree of insulin resistance; it's fun to discuss health promoting practices such as adding fiber to your diet! However we still see many clients who come to us consuming too much fiber. We have a lot of people who come to us with digestive concerns such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and so with these clients, we always assess their fiber intake. So in this episode we help you understand how much fiber is too much fiber, so you can determine the amount that feels best for you.

373: Why I Don't Recommend Food Sensitivity Testing Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

Have you personally or known of someone who has taken a food sensitivity test? And have you ever noticed that overtime, for many people, the results dissipate? That they may even cause anxiety or worry about the foods they are intolerant to?

Today, I want to discuss why I don't like nor recommend food sensitivity testing. This is definitely a tricky subject. What I'm not trying to do in this episode is take away your body autonomy. If they have worked for you. Or if you have genuine food intolerances, I'm not saying that is wrong.

You are going to have to be the ultimate decision maker. You are the expert of your own body! Listen to today's episode to learn more about food sensitivity testing.

Don't forget you have until Thursday, June 30th to join Food & Body Peace Playbook for presales which includes a free coaching session with me!

372: Lauren Cadillac RD/N on the Impact Body Building Had on Her Eating Disorder Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

Lauren Cadillac is a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, certified personal trainer and retired bodybuilder. She owns and operates a virtual private practice where she helps individuals from all over the world heal their relationship with food.

Rather than focusing on a number on the scale or strict food rules, Lauren takes an approach to nutrition that encourages behaviors that support physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Her client's progress and success is measured not by weight, but instead by more relevant markers of health such as energy levels, sleep, digestion and mood. She teach my clients the Intuitive Eating framework so that they can heal their relationship with food and become the expert of their own bodies.

TW: We briefly discuss ED behaviors in this episode, if this could be triggering, please do not listen to today's episode.

In this episode we discuss:

Lauren's journey to becoming an intuitive eating dietitian.
How body building influenced Lauren's relationship with food and body, and the ways that ED behaviors are often promoted in the sport.
How black and white thinking contributes to the food police, and how we can all have more gray area thinking when it comes to food and our health choices.
