Weight a Minute: Recent Episodes
Beth Boebel and Jessica Pearson
Weight a Minute is about the crazy, sad, and effed-up ways that diet culture keeps you trapped in a vicious cycle with food and your body. We're here to dismantle these falsehoods and get you on a path to loving yourself, food, and life. We're bringing levity to the profound conversations about body image, diet culture, and more. Each week we’reshowing you how to drop the drama so you can focus on what matters most!
On this episode, we are revisiting an older episode - Sugar, Sugar, Sugar. I wanted to recycle this episode not because I want to add to the villainization of sugar and proclaim more fear about how terrible sugar is for you, but because we feel like information is power. Especially with how many people have something to say about sugar, whether they are qualified to or not.
The more you know goes with our ongoing mantra of data, not drama. In this episode we cover the history of our evolving love affair with sugar, "healthier" sources of sugar, are they really better for us, and how does our body handle alternative sugars.
Everyone gets to make their own choices on what and how much they consume of things AND everyone should be privy to the information behind it, not just be sold the marketing department's version or the loudest persons on the internet view. Enjoy!

"You can't change what you don't measure." Is that true in diet and health? In this episode, Beth and Jessica discuss how important, or not, it is to track food or other measures of health when you have a goal. Can you lose weight if you don't track your food? Can you still eat intuitively and track food? Listen in and we discuss what the research says and what happens in real life.

Why is it that in certain circumstances having accountability is seen as a positive, but when we need accountability for exercise and health some view it as a bad thing? Needing and having someone or something that holds us accountable for doing the exercise or eating healthfully is not a moral failing. We all need support, so lean into that accountability. Join us this week as Beth and Jessica discuss the importance of that support to help us reach our health goals.

The ping-pong of inner chatter of “should I or should I not” can put our brain in a confusing place because it wants to have clarity. But sometimes there is no clear answer, so how do we move forward? Beth and Jessica talk through what some thoughts might come up and how to work through them. The topic discussed in this episode is weight loss, but you could apply the same concepts to all kinds of decision-making situations, especially those requiring a behavior change.

Do you find you find yourself beating yourself up mentally or restricting food or over-exercising - basically punishing yourself - if you overate or didn't eat "healthy"? You might be punishing yourself for a behavior that is just a sign that you are missing a skill. The food and eating behavior often do NOT have anything to do with why you are in the cabinet or freezer after a hard day. Tune in to learn more from Jessica and Beth on how eating patterns are about so much more than just food!

The conversation around GLP-1 medications for weight loss continues as we unpack the recent Oprah Special on ABC - "Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution." Some great points were made in the special, but one thing was glossed over very quickly - the food supply's role is disrupting our natural GLP-1 production. Beth gets fired up this week talking about the gross negligence on the part of food companies and the regulation of what our food is doing to us. Listen in and let us know your thoughts!

When someone sees the number on the scale go down, they get happy - "YAY I've lost weight!" But hold up, when the scale moves it does not always mean you are losing fat. If you are going about dieting, in most of the methods out there, you are likely losing more than fat, and that's not a good thing. Be sure to listen to the know the difference between losing fat and losing weight. Knowing the difference determines long-term health and more.

The body positivity (BoPo) movement has been working to break down barriers to accepting all body sizes. It's so great showcasing that we can't all be the same size and we are here for all the bodies. But now some BoPo influencers, who have built their whole community around body acceptance, aren't being accepted because they want to lose weight. What the heck? It's damned if you, damned if you don't. Beth and Jessica discuss body positivity and why people get upset about change in the community. As well as how to support your mind around your body, health, and online communities when wanting to make a change.

We discuss the books, How Not to Diet and Pegan, and other podcasters/health influencers take on plants and animals as food. We do not hold back on our opinions, which are solely ours.

Is it okay for nutrition professionals to have sponsored posts on social media paid for by food industry groups? Are they being unethical by posting their "professional opinion" on a sponsored post? Beth and Jessica discuss the recent Washington Post article that highlights the practice, as well as how the food industry has long influenced messaging; social media just happens to be the new format for reaching people where they hang out. Do Beth and Jessica have a price they would accept to promote products or ingredients? Listen in to find out.

This week we are doing a brief chat on how nutrition supports our hormones. We have a lot of hormones to make our body hum and they all require something from the nutrients in the food we eat. So just another friendly reminder that food is more than just controlling your weight. Before we dive into our main topic we discuss the Pendulum probiotics ads. Their marketing went from gut health to weight loss. Grr. Why does everything we market have to be about weight loss? Can’t we just support our guts without a weightloss tease?

Jessica and Beth had a great conversation with freelance writer, consultant, tarot card reader, and former food columnist of The Austin Statesman Addie Broyles. We touched on a wide variety of topics like the Barbie movie, her experiences of writing about food while being mindful of the detriments of diet culture, honoring our family through food, her new creative works in The Feminist Kitchen newsletter and zine, and how tarot cards help her be attuned to her life. A must listen in to the insightfulness that Addie brings to the relationships with food and body.

This week we are doing a bit of rewind, replaying our episode about what detoxes and cleanses are vs. what diet culture will have you believe. Can they can be helpful or is it just a complicated way to go on a short-term diet? Listen in to find out more.
Some new functional sodas on the market contain fiber and other pre-biotics that make claims on digestive health, blood sugar, and more.

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Trina Dorrah MD, physician, binge eating coach, and eating disorder survivor, as we debunk diet culture myths and explore the mindset behind our relationship with food. Discover how no food is inherently bad and learn why the intention behind your eating habits matters more than the food itself.
In this enlightening discussion, we delve into the ever-changing fashion ideals and their impact on body positivity and health. Dr. Trina Dorrah helps us understand the complexity of the connection between body size, health, and societal standards, while also shedding light on weight bias in medicine and the numerous factors that impact a person's health journey. As we navigate this intricate web of wellness, culture, and racism, we'll challenge you to reconsider your own biases and beliefs about food and body image.
But our conversation doesn't stop there; we also address the critical issue of cultural representation in coaching and its effect on minority populations. Learn how increasing the visibility of coaches of color can empower individuals and foster a sense of belonging and possibility. This episode is not only a deep dive into wellness, culture, and racism but also a call to reassess our understanding of these interconnected topics.

Beth and Jessica pull up a chair with money coach Berkeley Cox to unpack the surprising intersections of dollars and diets. Scrumptious nibbles, fiscal advice, and even the latest on cottage cheese.
Wondering why we’re talking about money on a podcast about diet culture? Don’t worry— we’ll dive into the magic intersection of food and finance. We dish out tips on how home-cooked meals could become your financial game-changer, and why mindful spending doesn't have to mean kissing those occasional takeouts goodbye. Plus we discuss tips on fighting the negative feelings that many of us face around these topics: guilt, shame, and losing hope. Berkeley reveals her inspiring journey from a sea of debt to a confident coach, laying out some simple but powerful steps to shake off the scarcity mindset and pave the path to financial peace.
Check out Berkeley Cox’s website Money Grooves and apply to work with her (trust us, it’s worth it!), and make sure you don’t miss her 12-week program “Shake Your Moneymaker”.

Do we count calories, do we not? What even the heck is a calorie? Diet culture (and sometimes research) has made calories very confusing to the average person. So today we share a bit more about what calories are and why counting calories only to reach a goal isn't helpful in the long run.

We are back from our winter break, a little later than we had planned, but that's ok we are here now and talking about a timely topic: consistency. Today we talk about why the ho-humness of consistency is important, how consistency is not perfection, and how to build consistency.
This week we talk about a sneaky phrase that we use that limits our life right now: "When I......" When I reach this goal, I can do or have this thing. If you have said this to yourself before or are operating from this place now, listen in so you can get out of this trap!
Beth read an excellent book, "The Secret Life of Fat, the Science Behind the Body’s Least Understood Organ, and What it Means For You". It was a great read on an organ that is so vilified and yet not talked about its importance. When we understand how something functions and why things may be going awry, we can look at it objectively instead of thinking something is wrong with us. So tune in to learn about what fat does for us!
A special reminder note - not all excess fat is bad, not everyone's fat beyond "the norm" is sending out inflammation and other health-related alarm signals. Getting lab work is really, really helpful! Data, not drama.

Do you identify as a perfectionist? And then try to apply the principles of perfection to food by desiring to hold onto food rules or a structure pretty tightly? When you step out of that structure does your brain make you think you are a failure? We are here this week to rescue you from this thought error that 1) perfectionism is real and 2) how that relates to eating and your body.

Back in Jessica and Beth's culinary school adventures, we learned about three key (and easy) things in our everyday diet that we can upgrade to improve our health. Rather than think that improvements in health and nutrition need to be dramatic sweeping changes, why not just stick with some basics of things that we consume every day, regardless of what kind of eating plan you follow? Listen in and let us know what you think. Have questions? Reach out info@pathnutrition.com

We hope you find sharing this personal journey helpful.

Is it ok to be bored with your food? Absolutely, in fact, it's perfectly fine because we don't need to be wowed or entertained by all of our meals. We have just gotten used to the perception that all food should be exciting in some capacity or we have things going on in our life that our main source of pleasure is from food. This is not an episode about saying that we need to eat steamed veggies and baked chicken breast more, we are just here to explore why the basics are resisted in our modern life.

The push and urgency behind getting back to the pre-baby body or the pre-injury body before it's really had time to heal and go through all the changes is alarming. We talk this week about the un-relenting messaging we get and feel compelled to follow to get back to a body so quickly after delivery. Let's recognize it and name it so we can stop this destructive pattern.

“To understand Western culture you have to understand sugar.” That statement from the beginning of an article about the history of sugar really spoke to us, because it encapsulates our seeming obsession with sugar: of having it, trying to avoid it, or trying to replace it with other sugar-like tastes.
This week we explore a bit about sugar.

Do you or someone you know like to be identified as eating a particular way; does the label of being Paleo or vegan or clean eater become a part of identity? This week's conversation explores why this may be. I'm sure we don't have all the answers so if you want us to know more about your viewpoint, please reach out and let us know. And of course, we found another great product ad that continues to perpetuate diet culture that we want you to know about!
One of the most critical aspects of moving towards self-love and self-acceptance is how you talk to yourself.
