You won’t find fluff from me but you will find real life examples of both food and business growth from a girl who has overcome disordered eating and grown almost a million dollar business. This is the DEATS with Deanna podcast.

In today’s solo episode I am covering everything you need to know about set point weight theory. I have gotten so many questions and interests about the set point weight theory, and while I talk about this in my online 12 week program, I wanted to cover it a little bit more for you in the podcast.
Personally, I don't love to talk about weight because I think weighing yourself on a scale isn't very helpful, and it’s just another superficial way to try and feel happy. In any case, our bodies do have a weight, but that number is going to look different from person to person, so I wanted to give you five key takeaways today about set point weight theory so that you can understand it a little better.
In this episode, we cover:
- Stable set point weight is healthier than yo-yo-ing [2:10]
- Letting go of control over your weight actually keeps your weight more stable [3:40]
- It can take several months for your body to recover from extreme dieting [6:31]
- Set point weight is a range [8:23]
- Listen to your body and forget about the scale [11:47]

Everyone has their reason for getting into the world of dietetics, and it’s always interesting to hear what sparked them on their journey! What’s even better is when dietitians work hard to solve the future of dietetics by running their own businesses and changing industry practices for the better. In today’s episode, I talked to Jenny Westerkamp, a registered dietician as well as the founder of All Access Dietetics and team nutritionist for the Chicago Bulls. Since creating All Access Dietetics at 21, she has impacted the nutrition world as an entrepreneur and as a sports dietitian. During our conversation, Jenny talks about why she became a dietician, and how her passion was sparked by her love for Doritos! She shares her experience getting hired by the Chicago Bulls, why running her own business takes a lot of blood sweat, and tears and why you have to embrace the fear and do it anyway. In this episode, we cover: * Why Doritos is the reason Jenny is a dietician and how that led her to become a sports dietician [3:26] * Creating her own company All Access Dietetics and what is takes to run a business [8:03] * The real value of hiring a dietician and why you should be friends with fear [19:47] * How to become a dietician in 2 years [27:02] * The best tips you need to really stand out in the field [34:17] * Jenny shares how to get an internship preceptor and a post-grad job [37:38] * How to pass the RD exam [42:36]

As women, there are a lot of taboo topics for us. One of them being the shame of overeating or binge eating, shame around our bodies and our weight, and even shame of wanting to have body autonomy.

For those of you who have been following me on my journey, I finally gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Harper, 7lbs and 10 ounces born on November 15 after spending 40 weeks and 3 days in my belly. I was flooded with questions in my DM’s about my experience of giving birth and I want to sit down and answer as many questions as I can. I also have a blog post up with all the details. During today’s episode, I talk about my birth story with my husband Zack! I have always been open with you guys and sharing my experience with pregnancy and giving birth is definitely something I want to do. I cover everything from having to schedule an induction (which does NOT make you a failure) and allowing my body to do what it needs to do, what my hospital experience was like and why it felt nice to labour while I was sitting on the toilet. I honestly had no idea what to expect going into labour (despite reading some things online), however I hope you find this podcast episode as well as blog post a source of education that will help you learn more about what you might expect during pregnancy. For me my contractions happened so quickly, it felt like one second I was checking into the hospital and the next moment I was in a lot of pain (it was worth it though). Everyone’s birth story is different and at the end of the day you are a rockstar for giving birth no matter your birth story! In this episode, we cover: * Leading up to the birth: dealing with a scheduled induction and trying to listen to my body [2:04] * Checking into the hospital, preparing my body for birth and taking Pitocin [6:54] * Dilation, dealing with contractions and getting an epidural: everything moves really quickly [13:27] * What labour actually feels like and getting ready for the actual birthing part [20:02] * Time to start pushing: trying to remain calm, feeling scared and baby’s heart rate dropping [28:09] * Our lives are forever changed [37:03] * Answering questions from our DMs [43:13]

For some, the gym can be a scary place, let alone working with a personal trainer. Either from experience or hearing other people's anecdotes, it seems like personal trainers only focus on fat loss and that is it. Often, these trainers may not have good relationships with their own bodies and with food, and they're projecting that onto their clients. What does the alternative look like?
In today’s episode, I talk to Kira Onysko, a non-diet focused personal trainer. She helps her clients reach their fitness goals, stay more consistent, increase their motivation, without an emphasis on their weight loss and body from an outward aesthetic perspective.
During our conversation, Kira shares why fitness trainers' language causes more damage than they think when it comes to their clients fitness goals, why health is more than what you eat (that pizza slice is nothing to feel guilty over), and learning to ditch the toxic mindset around fitness. As a recent newlywed Kira also shares her journey of preparing for a wedding without the stress of needing to be in a certain size.
In this episode, we cover:
- What is a non-diet personal trainer and language to avoid when it comes to focusing on clients health and fitness goals [3:47]
- Ditching the common “trainer” mentality [9:44]
- Embracing the benefits of rest days rather than focus on exercise as a means to change your body [11:46]
- Learn to enjoy exercise and do workouts that you like doing not what you think you should be doing [20:13]
- How Kira prepared her body and mind for a wedding without stressing [22:52]
- Balancing your workout routine and tips for getting into weight training [29:26]
- Kira shares advice on diet, weddings and fitness [37:20]

Fitness is an important part of any lifestyle, but what happens when diet culture and controlling food habits become a large part of your life?

During our conversation, Molly shares the diets she tried prior to doing the food freedom breakthrough program, and the polarities of diet culture.

As people begin their journey to healing their relationship with food, the element of gentle nutrition is the last step in the cycle of repair and reset. When it comes to gentle nutrition, the first thing you need to consider is whether or not you are ready for this step. You don’t have to be perfect in practice but it is important to ask yourself how you are able to cope with feelings of guilt, anxiety and stress as you navigate and repair your relationship with food. In today’s episode, I’m talking to Colleen, who is not only one of my closest friends and advocates, she is also a registered dietician who shares her amazing insight into life and gentle nutrition. During our conversation, Colleen speaks on the responsibility of sharing positive and realistic food choices as a content creator and helping people realize nutrition does not have to be perfect. She shares key elements to focus on when it comes to gentle nutrition, why nutrition still plays an important role in a healthy food relationship and why micromanaging your diet does more damage than good when it comes to gentle nutrition. In this episode, we cover: * Colleen explains the importance of sharing realistic examples of intuitive eating on her IG stories [4:50] * The 3 tips to live by when thinking about gentle nutrition [9:40] * As a registered dietician, Colleen shares the key takeaways when it comes to the nutrition part of gentle nutrition [16:05] * Gentle nutrition is not about micromanaging what you eat, it’s about what’s sustainable on a daily basis and taking those baby steps [23:21] * Colleen shares why she made the switch to being a food freedom dietician and what she’s surprised to learn over the years from her clients [32:16] * How the narrative of weight loss and quick wins plays into gentle nutrition [41:12]
