Bonus Episode: Addressing Racism (Changes to the Podcast) Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

Thank you for listening to this episode.

Before we resume our usual content, I want to take a moment to talk with you today about what's going on with systemic racism here in America.

As part of the #amplifymelanatedvoices challenge last week, I did not air a podcast episode or post any original content. Instead I shared BIPOC content and took a lot of time to listen, learn and reflect.

In that reflection, I am disappointed in myself. I acknowledge and apologize for my internalized racism- by being silent about white supremacy I was contributing to it. I had recently become aware of the racist roots of diet culture, and was trying to learn more about it before I shared it on the podcast- and as a look back I do believe that was a mistake.

For one, this is an ever ongoing journey to learn and unlearn, I kept waiting until I understood it better- but I'll likely never feel fully equipped with all the knowledge I feel like I need. That's my own perfectionism to work on- I didn't want to speak if I couldn't speak to it perfectly, I didn't want to mess or say the wrong thing. But it's worse to not say anything at all.

And two, this is where I should pass the mic to Black women and men to have them educate and share about anti-racism work. It's not my place to educate- because I am a white woman. I'll never fully understand.

So how will we be moving forward? Until systemic racism is over, we will begin and continue having these conversations here on the show. Make no mistake, this is not a political conversation. This is a human rights issue.

I cannot talk about women's wellness and health without addressing a huge barrier, and that's racism. Racism is a health issue.

Even more so, racism is embedded into diet culture and if we are going to talk about intuitive eating and body liberation, we are also going to need to address systemic racism. Plus, the problematic white privilege in wellness is something that we need to address as well.

What to expect?

Well, first of all I need to create a safe space for women to come on the show.

I've learned from Rachel Cargle that Black women often don't feel safe in spaces of white women, as we often change their words, benefit from their education, and then profit from their work.

I've also learned from Les, host of one of my favorite podcasts Balanced Black Girl, that many Black women won't want to come on the podcast if it doesn't feel safe for them.

I'm finding so many podcast hosts are reaching out to Black women to have this conversation because it' so important and needs to be addressed. But if we've never invited Black women to talk about anti-racism and then we all bombard them with requests, that's a version of performative allyship. I can absolutely see how all the sudden bombarding Black women to come on the show to discuss anti-racism work is performative allyship, and doesn't help create actual change.

So over the next month or so, we will be addressing these topics so we can create a safe space. I'll be careful to not educate, as that's not my place, but I will share what I'm learning and make sure we create a podcast where all feel welcome.

Now, there's lots of resources and lists going around about how to do this work.

And I don't know that I want to add more to this.

But I will tell you a few things I'm doing over the next month, I'm attending Chrissy King's training for fitness and wellness professionals for how to be an anti-racist in our fields.

I purchased and will read the books Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings and The Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor. After I read this I am going to purchase more anti-racism specific books.

I donated money and for my monthly donations, I've chosen the Loveland Foundation. The Loveland Foundation helps Black women and girls receive therapy.

I am also trying to figure out how to pay Black educators who do come on the show. I am open to suggestions and feedback on this, so we can ensure we value and invest in their work and say thank you for their time.

For the fellow white women listening to this episode. This work should be uncomfortable. Sit in the discomfort and listen and learn. This is not the time to center ourselves or how we feel about it. It's time for change. It's been time for change. Let's do better. And let's remember: white people created white supremacy, so we have to be willing to do the hard work to fix it.

I am SO thrilled to have guest Simi Botic back on the show. Simi was last on the show in episode 78 sharing about overcoming perfectionism and the power of reinterpreting events.

Thank you to Ned for sponsoring today's episode! I am thrilled to have Ned as a new podcast sponsor. I have been waiting to share about my love for CBD oil until I could find the right brand that aligned with my beliefs. Ned produces the highest quality full spectrum CBD oil, extracted from organically grown hemp plants in Colorado.

One of the things I love most about Ned is they do not cut corners in their production. Their CBD oil is made from gentle, slow extraction with no high temperatures or high pressure, and zero isolates and synthetic ingredients.

I had the pleasure of trying out their Cycle collection, made with CBD oil and botanicals that have antioxidant properties and major healing power. These salves, tinctures and roll-ons as part of the cycle collection can support hormone balance and easing period symptoms.

If you want to check out Ned and try them out for yourself, Ned is offering 15% off AND free shipping to my listeners by using the link included here in the shownotes or you can use the code NOURISHINGWOMEN to receive the discount.

Thank you to New Chapter for also sponsoring today's episode. I am fascinated by traditions and the culture of food. Across the globe, for thousands of years, food is connected deeply into how we live, how we take care of ourselves and how we enjoy life.

Tradition isn't about chasing the next "it" food, the swaying nutrition research based on the newest study and it's not about a one fits all approach for your calorie allotment for the day. And thats why I'm a huge fan of herbalism, and my go to for any herbs I take- New Chapter, including their new daily multiherbals.

There are four multiherbal options for you to choose from, one for holistic health, one to power up, one for restful nights and one to de-stress.

Take the One Daily Multiherbal Sleep Well if you are ready to promote longer, most restful sleep you can wake up feeling refreshed*.

Clinical studied tart cherry can significantly increase sleep time and efficiency and even provides naturally occurring melatonin*. Sleep Well also contains relaxing and soothing herbs that are non-habit forming: passionflower, chamomile and ashwagandha.

Or the One Daily Stress Relief formulated with Aswagandha (one of my favorite adaptations to recommend!) to ease physical and mental stress*. It has also been shown to improve well-being and help our bodies respond and react better to stress by lowering cortisol levels*.

Black seed is also included in this multiherbal, for healthy mood, in addition to adaptogens Reishi mushroom and Holy Basil (also known as Tulsi). This multiherbal is an absolute powerhouse of adaptogens!

You can purchase New Chapter multiherbals on New Chapter's website, CVS and local health food stores.

Show notes

I've always been a fan of acupuncture. I think it's fascinating to think the same acupuncture points have been used for thousands of years. This traditional method of medicine is a great option for those looking for additional routes to help heal or just take care of your overall wellness! Plus, it can be a great option for fertility, period resumption and healing heal hormonal imbalances. I had the pleasure of having licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, Aimee Raupp, on the show to share the science behind why acupuncture works.

She engages her large community worldwide through her online programs and with her website, www.aimeeraupp.com.

In this episode we discuss:

Aimee's journey to becoming an acupuncturist and herbalist, why not getting into medical school is the best thing that ever happened to her.
The Eastern medicine perspective of how acupuncture works and removes blocked Qi (also called life force)
The Eastern perspective of acupuncture and what the research shows about how acupuncture to improve health outcome through various modalities including increased blood flow

175: How to Remove Fear About an All Foods Fit Mentality (+Cart Closes Today to Permission Stage Playbook!) May 19, 2020

Show notes

In the past dieting was, for the most part, about villainizing just a particular macronutrient, like carbs or fat, or villainizing calories in general. These days, you can find a reason on the internet to villainize literally any food out there.

The truth is, you can find research to support just about any claim out there. And while I think evidenced based protocols are highly important, we have to remember that doesn't replace your unique, individual needs. Instead of taking the opinions of others and the rules and protocols and the diets around food, intuitive eating asks that you put all foods on an even playing field.

Cookies and burgers and kale and blueberries are all emotionally equivalent. By making them have no moral value higher than the other, you can tune in to how your body feels when you eat foods. Releasing the emotions around the food, allows you to tune in to your mind body knowledge on your hunger and fullness levels, your food preferences and cravings and discover what is both satisfying and feels good in your body to eat.

Listen to today's episode to learn more about what an all foods fit mentality means, how to explore the why of your fear around this and how to navigate health conditions that require elimination of certain foods with intuitive eating.

This episode is brought to you by my new online course, Permission Stage Playbook.

You know in order to embrace intuitive eating, you're gonna have to end the fight between you and your body, make peace with food and give yourself unconditional permission to eat.

But that's also what makes this work incredibly challenging, overwhelming and frustrating! That's why my team and I have created our first ever online course, Permission Stage Playbook.

Permission Stage Playbook is a proven step-by-step guide for how to move past the confusion and overwhelm to become an intuitive eater.

Permission Stage Playbook is the ONLY program of its kind that:

Teach you, step by step, how to give yourself permission to eat and not only make peace with food, but also make peace with your body in order to let it be.
Re-align you with your own values and beliefs about health and also who you want to be and how you want to live your life.
Help you learn to trust your body and trust yourself to feed yourself, re-learning what it means to "listen to your body".
Help you discover what balance with food looks like and how to live life in the gray area, one where you can embrace an "all foods fit" mentality.
Online course created to help you truly understand intuitive eating, especially for those who struggle with being a little too obsessed with all things health and wellness.

The cart is officially open (but closes tonight!) and we would love to have you join our VIP experience, where you will receive the online course material AND group coaching calls with me, a private Facebook support group, support from the entire team at my practice AND (if it could get better than that…) bonus content on exercise and nutrition in the final week of the course.

The cart closes TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT and we are only taking a limited number of students inside the VIP experience of Permission Stage Playbook. Only 5 spots left inside the VIP experience!

174: Intuitive Eating is NOT Anti-Health May 15, 2020

Show notes

In our current world, the diet culture infused health and wellness one- we are told the only ways to obtain health are to: have a very specific body size, eat this not that and exercise as much as possible.

And when you hear about intuitive eating...

You fear that vegetables and all the foods you force yourself to eat to maintain your "healthy identity" will become foods you never eat again. In fact all your behaviors you're scared you'll never do again.

And if that's a fear of yours, that may mean you've made the mistake of thinking intuitive eating is just eating "whatever you want". Or only ever eating ice cream. Or never exercising again. It's another version of all or nothing thinking.

Intuitive eating is about promoting health and eating ALL foods (that feel medically or ethically best for you).

You need to learn to live life in the gray area, and discover what health really means to you. Health shouldn't be about black and white thinking, nor is it the small little actions but instead the sum of all your behaviors over your entire life span.

Listen to today's podcast episode to hear my take on the many reasons intuitive eating is NOT anti-health.

This episode is brought to you by my new online course, Permission Stage Playbook.

You know in order to embrace intuitive eating, you're gonna have to end the fight between you and your body, make peace with food and give yourself unconditional permission to eat.

173: What Will Happen to My Weight When I Stop Dieting? May 12, 2020

Show notes

As we have been hosting our free workshops, Food Obsession to Food Flexibility, one of the #1 questions you've had for me is...well, what will happen to my weight?

And that fear is ultimately because you're worried not only about your own fears, but also what people will think about your body changing...Statements like these and the *potential* thoughts and opinions of others really worry you.

But, here's the thing...This is your life. Your body. Your food liberation journey.

Your job in your life is not to spend it worrying about what others think or believe. Nor is to meant to be spent pleasing others, your job is to live your life how you desire.

Instead of viewing it as letting yourself go...could you consider letting yourself be?

Part of letting yourself be is going to be to stop micromanaging your body. To treat it with dignity, respect compassion and kindness. Can you imagine what that would feel like?

I know the anxiety about POTENTIALLY even gaining weight is crippling. Listen to today's episode to learn my thoughts on how to help you work through this!

This episode is brought to you by my new online course, Permission Stage Playbook.

171: 3 Tips to Help You Embrace Unconditional Permission to Eat May 05, 2020

Show notes

Let me guess...You've been listening to this podcast for a long time, or maybe you're a new listener. I've caught your ear on the fact that diets don't work and YES your clean eating programs, switching from whole 30 to keto to vegan for weight loss to eliminating gluten without medical need to a juice cleanse...is just another form of dieting.

Diets don't work for 95% of the population...and when I say "don't work" I mean they don't give you what they promise….Mind blown. You thought you were just eliminating bloat...trying to feel more energized...trying to lose those "last 10 lb".

The worst part about dieting? It causes your body to go into survival mode in order to adapt to the inadequate intake it's getting…meaning it's no longer in thriving mode. Which is the reason you got into health and wellness in the first place!

Now, I know you've heard me talk about my absolute love for intuitive eating and maybe you're intrigued. Maybe you've even gone so far to read the book, or listen to more podcasts like mine and others in this space, and followed non-diet accounts about intuitive eating on Instagram.

But I"m gonna guess what I hear from EVERY client may also be happening to you. Dipping your toes in the permission stage is being HARD AS HELL.

You've likely either ate everything in sight and thought to yourself this isn't for me because every time I try to give myself permission I cannot stop eating…

...Or you run and hide because even the THOUGHT of doing it is challenging and makes you feel out of control.

Listen to today's episode to hear my TOP 3 TIPS to help you work through this and embrace unconditional permission to eat!

Don't forget to sign up for my FREE workshop I am hosting. The Food Obsession to Food Flexibility workshop is coming to you THIS WEEK.

This free workshop is for you if:

You've tried to embrace food flexibility before and you felt overwhelmed about "eating whatever you want".
You feel confused about what it means to "eat intuitively".
You want to learn how how to apply intuitive eating in your life, you're just not sure how.
You want clarity and confidence about the intuitive eating journey.
You're ready to dive in to the permission stage, and want to learn more about what exactly this means!
