316: How to Make Peace with Food and Your Body Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

What does it REALLY mean to have peace with food and your body? Maybe it would help to explain first what doesn't feel like peace.

Because for myself, my clients, online course students and community- feeling peace has not always been your experience with your food, and as a result, your body. Maybe you're even there right now. The fights you're having with your body.

The war between the two of you, almost as if your body was separate from you. You can't get your body to do what you want. To be the size you want it to be. To be able to live off minimal carbs and excessive exercise. I remember thinking to myself, why does my body hate me so much?

And maybe you can relate to that. Maybe you've even had that thought yourself. That disconnection, that lack of TRUST in your body, means your always trying to control things.

Listen to today's podcast episode to learn more, including how to make peace with food and your body!

310: Have a Missing Period? HA vs PCOS Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

There are a variety of reasons secondary amenorrhea (a missing period for 3+ months) can occur, but the two most common reasons are PCOS and hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA).

In today's podcast, we will walk through the lab work and symptoms of both HA and PCOS, to help you understand the similarities and differences between these two common hormone conditions.

If you have a missing or irregular cycle, I would HIGHLY recommend that you do investigative work, order more lab work with your doctor and talk to them about your symptoms, even consider a DUTCH test, so that you have a plan tailored to you and your needs. These conditions are very different yet have a lot of overlap!

Need help getting your period back? We have a few spots left to work with us for anti-diet, gentle nutrition support for HA and PCOS at our virtual practice. Our online program specifically for HA recovery, Get Your Period Back Playbook, will reopen for enrollment in March 2022.

308: How to Avoid the Restrict Binge Seesaw on Halloween Candy Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

Here's what I want you to experience THIS Halloween. This Halloween you are happy, engaged and present with your food choices, yes- candy included. You enjoy the candy, but more than anything you enjoy your time with family and loved ones.

This is possible for YOU my friend because this is what intuitive eating allows for in our lives. But I know you probably are scared to allow yourself to enjoy yourself. To really give yourself that permission to eat, especially foods like candy.

I know, because I've been where you have before. I've been in a chaotic relationship with food. I've experienced COUNTLESS times the restrict binge seesaw.

You know what I'm talking about, the seesaw of trying to control the thing you view as bad, or dirty, or too much sugar or too many calories. You try to control the amount you are allowed to eat, and maybe it works for a while, but inevitably you lose "willpower" and eat every piece of Halloween candy in sight.

And sadly this only reinforces the idea that you cannot control or trust yourself around food, especially foods like candy. If this is you, I want you to listen to today's episode to learn more!

P.S. The audio in this episode is off in comparison to our usual sound quality. So sorry for the difference in audio, but the content is still gold!
