Because sometimes, that’s all it takes — a small shift in what we choose to believe — to make the day a little better, and to make us a little more awake, alive… and ascending.

    95. The Gut-Body Connection with Dr. Heather Finley Dec 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Today's podcast guest, registered dietitian Dr. Heather Finley, joins Molly to have a discussion about gut health. As a result of learning about the connection between the gut and other parts of the body and mind, Dr. Finley was able to overcome the chronic bloating and constipation she experienced for 20 years. Towards the beginning of her healing journey, there was little knowledge about how the gut works and no one was able to pinpoint the cause of her symptoms. Our understanding of digestive health has evolved and we now understand how nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset have a direct impact on it. When we talk about the gut, we need to consider the whole body.

    Our narratives about the foods we should consume to maintain a healthy gut have led many of us to resort to restrictive diets. However, as we'll discuss in this episode, gut health is not about what you shouldn't eat, it's about what you should. Your microbiome benefits from a diverse diet, and there's a lot more to gut health than your food choices.

    This episode will explore the gut-brain connection, how anxiety influences the gut, the myths surrounding the gut, what normal bowel health looks like, and what the gut actually does. As Dr. Finley explains, a healthy gut is much less about doing more and cutting out foods, but rather about getting back to basics and creating a solid foundation for optimal gut health.

    You can pre-order Dr. Finley's upcoming book The Healthy, Happy Gut Cookbook here.

    Key Highlights:

    • Heather's origin story and how she healed her gut
    • Gut-brain connection
    • How bacteria helps us fight illnesses
    • Improving your gut health can make generational change
    • How stress and anxiety affect your gut health
    • What is normal bowel health?
    • Bloating: Causes, what is normal, and what is not normal
    • Gut health requires a solid foundation
    • What impact does water consumption have on gut health?
    • The impact of alcohol and sugar alcohols on gut health
    • How functional health can more efficiently heal your body

    Episode Quotes:

    By improving your gut health, you actually can create generational change. - Dr. Finley

    Taking supplements could help you, but if you're not sleeping, if you're not eating and balancing your blood sugar, if you're not hydrating optimally … if you're not doing all these things then the supplements, everything you're doing for your gut health is not going to be as effective. - Dr. Finley

    94. Building a Loving Relationship with Food and our Bodies with Sophie Chiche Dec 14, 2022
    Show notes

    Sophie Chiche sits down with Molly to share how she built a loving relationship not only with food but with her own body.

    Sophie weighed 350 pounds when she decided to break up with sugar. The beginning of that journey was one of "self-destruction", as she puts it; but, she saw it through to the end. She passionately reflects on the most challenging obstacles she faced and the life-altering lessons she learned through the years.

    Listen in as Sophie discusses how she got to the point where she not only shed all that excess weight, but also came to develop a healthy and productive relationship with food. She talks about the importance of being strong enough to remove bad influences—including people—from your environment, and to get to the point where every bite of food becomes a bite of self-love rather than of self-destructiveness.

    Episode Quotes

    • "My parents have been through war and tell us that we'd better not waste food. But I've always thought, 'Wait, if I eat it and it hurts me, isn't it a waste as well?'" - Sophie Chiche
    • "When you call it 'relapse', you can't be in a relationship with food, and you need to be in a relationship with food." -Molly Carmel
    • "My love for myself is greater than my care about disappointing you." -Sophie Chiche

    Key Highlights

    • Overcoming destructive paradigms around food nurtured throughout our childhood
    • Placing more value on what's best for you over the opinions of others
    • Why refusing food doesn't always equal wasting food
    • How to kindly and tactfully refuse sugar

    93. Overcoming Negative Self-Talk and Tuning Into Your Highest Self with Randi Zinn Dec 07, 2022
    Show notes

    Women often find it difficult to make time for themselves and to explore the things they enjoy. On the podcast today, mindfulness and wellness expert Randi Zinn offers refreshing insight into how to let our natural inclinations guide us and why it is important to do this. As a result of her diverse life experiences, Randi is able to connect with and understand others, and she shares what she knows with us today. Randi notes that since we are products of a patriarchal society, we have to start small and not expect to transform ourselves overnight.

    As well as working with individuals, Randi enjoys group work because she believes community is incredibly powerful. Sharing our stories with one another can be very healing and it can effectively combat the noise associated with being human. Randi notes that letting people know they matter and are safe is a gift.

    Initially, Randi's work focused on women who had just become moms, but she soon realized that the need for self-discovery and living authentically applied to most women, so she now serves all women who desire more abundance. During this conversation, Randi discusses her own unique journey connecting with her authenticity, how she began this work, and what she has seen women struggle with most. She also shares some tips on how to overcome negative self-talk and self-perception. Randi shares several nuggets of wisdom in this episode, and you won't want to miss it.

    Key Highlights:

    • How do we make time for play, joy, and creativity, and why do we need to do it?
    • How we as women are taught not to choose ourselves and to put ourselves last
    • How Randi defines prioritizing yourself, some exercises we can try, and why it is important.
    • The power of authenticity, honesty, and love
    • Even when we are good at what we do, things don't always work out
    • How Randi started working with women around authenticity
    • Slowing down, rejecting failure, and looking inwards
    • What Randi is doing to reconnect with her personal brand and become more authentic
    • In the absence of the resources to pause work, what do people do?
    • Using your voice and giving yourself permission to be imperfect

    Episode Quotes:

    You become a part of the circle when you let yourself in. - Randi

    I have to be comfortable with disappointing people if I'm doing something that I know I need to do. - Randi

    Anytime I share something that is authentic and I think I shouldn't or I think it's going to impact me in a negative way, just the opposite happens. - Molly

    92. How to Sugarproof Your Kids with Dr. Michael Goran Nov 30, 2022
    Show notes

    Dr. Michael Goran sits down with Molly to offer his best advice on helping our children navigate our sugar-saturated environment. Now that Christmas is right around the corner, this is a timely subject to dive into!

    But, as our guest reminds us, making sure that our kids indulge in moderation is a challenge that lasts beyond the Winter holiday season⁠. After all, we still need to keep in mind Valentine's Day and Easter chocolates, graduation cakes in May, ice cream in the summer, and all manner of sugary treats come Halloween!

    In short, as Molly puts it: "This idea that it's 'just a treat' is a bit of a delusion."

    Listen in as Dr. Goran explains what sugar does to kids according to research, besides weight gain. He talks about setting boundaries with our children at home, while at the same time empowering them to self-regulate their own food choices.

    Dr. Goran then breaks down the two main paths that anyone can take to sugarproof themselves—the 7-day and 30-day challenges—and how just seven days' worth of healthy food choices already makes a huge difference.

    Episode Quotes

    • "Food is for enjoyment as well as for nourishment. We've lost track of that a little bit." - Dr. Michael Goran
    • "Even after only seven days of sugar reduction, you can get benefits at the metabolic level. We've seen observable changes in behavior, temperament, and energy levels in children in just a few days." -Dr. Michael Goran

    Key Highlights

    • What is sugar doing to our kids, exactly?
    • How to make Halloween healthier (but still just as fun!) by starting a Switch Witch tradition
    • How to teach your kids to self-regulate their food choices at home
    • How artificial sweeteners do more harm than good

    About Michael I. Goran, PhD

    Dr. Michael Goran is a Professor of Pediatrics at The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, which is affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. He is Program Director for Diabetes and Obesity at The Saban Research Institute and he holds the Dr. Robert C. and Veronica Atkins Endowed Chair in Childhood Obesity and Diabetes.

    91. Guiding Principles for Thriving Through the Holidays Nov 23, 2022
    Show notes

    As we approach the holiday season, Molly has a lot to say about diet culture vultures and the marketing that says "how to survive the holiday season." We don't want to just "survive" through this joyous time of year, we want to aim to thrive. Aiming for survival will lead you to hit below that mark, and Molly wants you to enjoy the holidays and feel a sense of joy and thriving. If we enter this season with the idea of just trying to survive, we can get into a fight, flight, fawn, or freeze mode, but if we are thinking of thriving during the holidays, that opens up a landscape for us to look at the parts of our life that bring joy, creativeness, happiness, and love.

    Molly encourages us to find "micro joys" in our life and see the world around us through a lens of gratitude for the small things. She shares some refreshing guiding principles to help you thrive through the holiday season so that you don't sell yourself short. So many people are trying to win off of your struggle around this time of year, but you need to take a look at who you are giving your power to and learn to access situations as your highest self. How do you know if you are in your highest self, or in your addiction mind? These guiding principles will help you determine exactly that and give you the power to make decisions that are in alignment with who you want to be.

    The marketing surrounding just "surviving" is a problem, because we are all worthy of thriving. Love yourself enough to be consistent and do things that bring you closer to knowing and loving who are you, because when you know yourself you're not going to sell yourself to the diet culture vultures that prey on people during the holidays and into the new year. When we know ourselves, we start to attract higher level things, and a fabulous way to heal and empower yourself is to join Molly for intenSati, and tune in to this episode to learn how to prioritize yourself, develop your guiding principles, and thrive through the holidays.

    Episode Quote:

    • "When you're aiming for survival, you're probably going to hit below that mark, and boy does that work well for diet culture." - Molly Carmel

    Key Highlights

    • Beliefs are repeated thoughts
    • Work with someone that will empower you to be in a relationship with food and not a relationship with their program
    • Avoiding diet culture vultures by accessing your recovery bank account and using those tools during the holiday season
    • Surviving is not a good guiding principle
    • How to know if you're in your highest self or your addiction mind
    • Guiding principles to know if your decisions are aligned who you want to be
    • Thoughts become things, so when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change
    • Filling your power circle with people that are also trying to level up and thrive

    90. Energy Healing and Raising Your Vibration with Taylor Stone Nov 16, 2022
    Show notes

    Today's episode features Taylor Stone, a leader in higher consciousness, self-mastery, and energetics. Taylor's mission is to help remind women that they hold the power within them to become their own self-healers and live out their full purpose and potential.

    In Taylor's opinion, people can begin healing themselves by being honest about their choices and how the choices they are making are or aren't serving them. She teaches that people need to then give themselves some grace and begin working on healing.

    When people feel like victims, they forget they have choices, so Taylor and Molly strongly agree that it is crucial to leave the victim narrative behind. As a big proponent of gratitude, Taylor practices it every day. Although you may have a long way to go, it's okay and beneficial to hold gratitude for where you are right now.

    During this episode, we'll hear some of Taylor's personal stories about how she felt out of place at church when she was younger, how she always sought a deeper meaning in life, and how she finally found what worked for her. As a former NFL cheerleader, she will explain how being weighed every week during that time affected her relationship with food and her body, and how she healed. Taylor will also define and explain how energy, frequency, vibration, and alchemy are relevant to her healing work.

    Key Highlights:

    • The role spirituality and religion play in overcoming addiction, and Taylor's quest to find deeper meaning outside the church
    • Taylor talks about what it was like learning and working in the field of exercise science while being a cheerleader in the NFL
    • Taylor's career trajectory from working for a well-known nutrition company to starting her own business
    • How energy healing made a massive impact on Taylor's life and career
    • What is energy healing?
    • Taylor discusses alchemy, energy, and what one can expect from alchemy sessions
    • Owning full responsibility for your life does not imply that you created or contributed to the trauma you experienced, but it helps you to move forward, says Taylor.
    • How do we know when we have completed the work of healing? Is it possible? And how do we avoid being a "healing junkie"?
    • Taylor's advice for people who don't believe in God

    Episode Quote:

    I believe in grace and moving through it, but there is also a point where you have to get to work and start being resourceful. - Taylor

    The truth is not fun. The truth is a frequency and when you start to tell yourself the truth, it's freeing. - Taylor

    89. Heal the Body, Heal the Mind Nov 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Today Molly is joined by Dr. David Wiss, RDN and founder of Nutrition in Recovery, a group practice of RDNs that specialize in treating eating and substance use disorders.This will be an episode about emotions, gentleness, and full body care.

    Dr. Wiss shares his views about intuitive eating, how trauma plays out in our immune systems, and the connection between the gut and the brain. Dr. Wiss believes in healing one's body before anything else using food. He asserts that food addiction is a global epidemic as a result of how ultra processed a lot the food we are consuming is and how those foods are changing our reward expectancies and behaviors. This in turn can spike other addictive processes and cause inattentiveness and impulsivity.

    According to Dr. Weiss, everything is on a continuum and a spectrum, so in order to make real sustainable change, we need tailor-made hybrid models that meet a patient's biological and psychological needs.

    Molly and Dr. Weiss will also discuss artificial sweeteners and preparing for the holiday season.

    Key Highlights:

    • Dr. Wiss talks about what fatherhood has been like and how his family is doing.
    • Dr. Wiss's views on intuitive eating, its effect on diet culture, and how people experience it differently
    • Why intuitive eating may not be for people who have struggled with food rules or feelings of distress around food
    • How trauma exists in the body and how legacies of trauma can cause inflammation in the body
    • Stability, consistency, and boundaries- Heal the body first
    • Dr. Wiss's thoughts on food addiction- Where it comes from and how to address it
    • What happens when we entangle dietary restraint and food addiction, and how to tell the difference between the two.
    • Advice for entering the upcoming holiday season

    Episode Quotes:

    If someone has a lot of conflict, I call it a discrepancy, there's a discrepancy between what their mind wants to weigh and what their body actually weighs–that discrepancy can be 30 pounds, but it could also be 3 pounds. As long as that discrepancy exists, there's internal conflict, there's conflict around food, and it changes the physiology of eating. They're living in flight or fight, they're not in rest or digest, and it doesn't allow the healing to occur. - Dr. Wiss

    Show notes

    In this episode, Molly is joined by her friend and creator of Soul Camp, Alison Leipzig. Have you ever found yourself overidentifying with your health issues and or your size? Alison has had this experience, and today she will discuss how during her childhood, she allowed being overweight to define who she was and divulges the two pivotal moments that helped her stop doing this.

    Molly and Ali will also talk about the importance of being open to learning from others at all times in order to be open to the gift of change that could come at any moment. They also share how they define recovery now and what that looks like for them.

    Most importantly they will discuss how our connections impact our lives and how to nurture those connections while making sure we are taking care of ourselves first. Ali reminds us that connection is the opposite of addiction.

    Key Highlights:

    • How Ali's childhood was defined by her health issues and being overweight
    • The two pivotal moments that helped Ali leave many aspects of diet culture behind and interrupt her disordered eating cycle
    • Ali and Molly talk about how the gift of change can come at any moment and you have to be open to a message and open to getting well

    • What supportive relationships look like: Ali and Molly talk about how they communicate around their problems, what they've learned about the best way to respond to a friend that is struggling
    • Triggers verses Emotional Takeovers
    • What does Ali's life and relationship with food look like now? She left her NY studio after 10 years to move to a new home outside of the city with her best friend and eats from her own garden.

    "You don't know what you don't know, and now you know." - Molly

    87. Beyond Day 66 with Marshall Malone Oct 26, 2022
    Show notes

    Marshall Malone returns on the podcast to reflect on his ongoing road to recovery, which began once he set the goal to totally break up with sugar by his 40th birthday.

    Listen in as Marshall shares the habits, rituals, and affirmations that have allowed him to shed 45 pounds and counting ever since he started his journey. Always keeping in mind that beliefs are nothing more than thoughts repeated, Marshall unpacks the mental and emotional hurdles that he had to overcome on his path to cultivating a healthier relationship with food—even after crossing the 66th day mark.

    Molly dispels the myth that "thoughts become things", proposing instead that "beliefs become things". Making this paradigm shift helps us to become more gentle with ourselves as we realize that negativity is totally normal, and that there is no such thing as perfection on this journey. Once we decide to break up with sugar, the greatest thing we can do to ensure lasting success is to simply stay consistent.

    Episode Quotes

    • "What was more important than losing 45 pounds was shedding the negative self-esteem that I had." - Marshall
    • "If you keep falling off your wagon, you need a bigger wagon." -Molly
    • "Weight release is an outcome, not a measure." -Molly
    • "The thing that changes people is self-determination." -Molly

    Key Highlights

    • Bridging the gap between knowing you can achieve your goals, to believing it
    • Being intentional about which beliefs you decide to change
    • Why it's normal to have negative feelings at any stage of your journey
    • Keeping your nutrition on-point in busy or stressful times
    • Realizing that you're on this journey for yourself, not for anyone else

    86. Acupuncture and Emotions as Energy With Wendy Swanson Oct 19, 2022
    Show notes

    Wendy Swanson dives into the ins and outs of acupuncture. Molly calls the modality "an absolute, life-changing measure" after she was cured of her Long Covid symptoms following her sessions with Wendy—something traditional Western medicine was never able to do for her.

    Listen in as Wendy paints a comprehensive picture of acupuncture and its history, as well as her fascinating journey in going against the grain to become an Eastern medicine practitioner. She talks about the importance of finding purposeful work that doubles as both a creative outlet and a vehicle for making a positive impact on the people around you—if not on the whole world.

    Wendy shares how acupuncture promotes the parasympathetic nervous system: teaching the body how to rest, digest, and renew. Through her passionate explanation of the wonders of this alternative modality, a profound, fundamental lesson emerges: Healing and renewal ultimately come down to trusting ourselves. According to Wendy, thriving in our being comes down to the realization that the body is a miracle if we allow it to be.
