Nourishing Women Podcast: Recent Episodes
Victoria Myers
The Nourishing Women Podcast is a women’s health podcast on all things intuitive eating, body image, holistic healing, wellness and so much more. The Nourishing Women Podcast is hosted by Victoria Myers, the dietitian, co-founder and owner of Nourishing Minds Nutrition, a virtual private practice and online education resource that specializes in empowering women to ditch the diets, heal their digestion, regulate their hormones and learn to practice wellness without obsession. This podcast is meant to help educate, inspire and empower you to live your life to the fullest.
Could your gut be playing a bigger role in your missing period than you realize?
In this episode, I'm joined by Lauren Furgiuele, Registered Dietitian and lead dietitian inside Nourished Fertility, to break down one of our favorite functional lab tests: the GI-MAP stool test. We unpack what this test actually measures, why gut health matters for hormone recovery and fertility, and how hidden gut issues could be making it harder for your body to ovulate and get your period back.
You'll learn why digestion is about so much more than bloating, what common findings like H. pylori or low digestive enzymes can mean, and why the goal isn't to fear food or eliminate everything—but to understand what's happening inside your body so you can support true healing.
In this episode, we cover:
- What the GI-MAP stool test measures
- How gut health impacts hormones and fertility
- Signs your digestion may not be functioning optimally
- Common gut imbalances we see in women with period loss
- Why testing beats guessing when it comes to gut health
- How GI-MAP testing is now included as a bonus inside Premier Period Recovery for Fertility
If you're ready to stop guessing and finally understand what's happening inside your body, this episode is for you.

With so much conflicting nutrition advice online—from low-carb to plant-based to cutting out entire food groups—it can feel impossible to know what's truly best for your body when you're trying to conceive.
That's why I invited Lily Nichols, RDN, back to the podcast. Lily is the bestselling author of Real Food for Fertility, and together we dive into what the research actually says about nourishing your body before pregnancy.
In this conversation, we're breaking down the biggest fertility nutrition myths, discussing why nutrient density matters so much, and sharing the foods we both prioritize with our clients to support healthy hormones, ovulation, egg quality, and pregnancy.
Whether you're actively trying to conceive, working to restore ovulation after period loss, or simply want to build a healthier foundation before pregnancy, this episode will help you feel confident about what belongs on your plate.
In this episode, you'll learn: * Why fertility is about nourishing your body—not restricting it * The biggest misconceptions about fertility nutrition * Why Lily challenges many conventional nutrition recommendations * The truth about plant-based diets and fertility * Why eggs are one of the best fertility foods you can eat * The surprising benefits of liver and organ meats * Which nutrients have the biggest impact on egg quality * How cholesterol, healthy fats, and protein support hormone production * Why nutrient density matters more than calorie counting * Practical ways to start eating for fertility today

If you've only ever had your ferritin or serum iron tested, you may be missing a huge piece of the fertility puzzle.
In this episode of our Functional Lab Series, I'm breaking down why we run a comprehensive iron panel—not just a single iron marker—on every woman we work with inside Premier Period Recovery for Fertility. You'll learn why iron is about so much more than anemia, how nutrients like copper, zinc, vitamin A, and ceruloplasmin impact your body's ability to use iron, and why digestion plays a critical role in restoring ovulation and fertility.
If you've been eating more, exercising less, and still don't have your period back, this episode will help you understand why looking deeper matters.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why ferritin alone doesn't tell the whole story
- The difference between serum iron, ferritin, TIBC, and percent saturation
- The key nutrients required for healthy iron metabolism
- How gut health impacts iron absorption and fertility
- Why functional lab testing can uncover hidden roadblocks to getting your period back

WATCH ON YOUTUBE HERE. Have you ever looked at your HTMA results and thought:
"Okay... but what does any of this actually mean?"
If so, today's episode is for you.
I'm joined by women's health dietitian and HTMA expert Amanda Montalvo for a deep dive into one of our favorite parts of the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test: significant ratios.
Inside Nourished Fertility, HTMAs have completely transformed how we support women with period loss, fertility struggles, thyroid symptoms, and hormone imbalances. These tests allow us to see deeper than standard blood work and understand how stress, metabolism, nervous system function, thyroid health, and mineral status are impacting your fertility journey.
In this conversation, Amanda breaks down exactly what significant ratios are, why they matter, and how they help us understand what's happening behind symptoms like:
- Missing or irregular periods
- Fertility challenges
- Low energy and burnout
- Thyroid symptoms
- Blood sugar instability
- Anxiety and overwhelm
- Difficulty recovering from stress
We also discuss why hormone imbalances are often the last thing to show up in the body—and why minerals may be the missing piece you've been overlooking.
If you've completed an HTMA, are considering one, or simply want a better understanding of how minerals impact fertility, this episode is a must-listen.

If your period is missing, your cycles are irregular, or you're dealing with bloating and exhaustion… this episode is going to hit home.
Because what if none of that is random? What if your body is actually responding exactly the way it's designed to?
So many women are told their labs are "normal" or that birth control or IVF is their only option… but no one is explaining why your body is downregulating in the first place.
In this episode, we break down the real root cause behind low estrogen, missing periods, and hormone imbalances—how under-eating, over-exercising, and high internal pressure signal to your body that it's not safe to ovulate.
You'll learn why your body isn't a calculator (calories in vs. out), but a thermostat constantly adapting to your environment—and how stress isn't just emotional, it's anything that increases demand without enough support.
If you've been doing everything "right" and still feel off, this will help you finally understand what your body has been trying to tell you.

For years, we've been taught that eating less and exercising more is the definition of health.
In this episode, I'm breaking down why that belief is not only misleading—but often the exact reason so many women are struggling with missing periods and fertility challenges.
If you've been doing everything "right" and still don't have a cycle, this episode will help you understand what's actually going on beneath the surface—and what your body truly needs to heal.

If you're someone who loves working out, thrives on structure, and takes pride in your discipline—but your period is missing or your cycles feel off—this episode is for you.
Because here's the truth no one talks about: The very habits that make you feel your best…might also be the reason your body doesn't feel safe enough to ovulate.
In this episode, we're unpacking the "fit girl fertility" dilemma—the experience so many high-achieving, health-conscious women face when their period disappears despite doing everything right.
We're diving into the science behind hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), the hidden stressors your body is responding to, and what it actually takes to restore your cycle without losing yourself in the process.
If you've ever thought, "Why isn't my body working when I'm doing everything right?" this conversation will change how you see your body—and your path to healing.

If you've been struggling with bloating, constipation, or gut issues on top of period loss or infertility… this episode is your missing puzzle piece.
Because here's the truth most people are skipping: 👉 Your digestion isn't broken. 👉 Your body isn't "too sensitive." 👉 And you don't need another restrictive protocol.
In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by eating disorder dietitian Marci Evans to unpack the real reason digestive issues are so common in period loss and fertility struggles—and how malnourishment impacts your gut-brain axis, microbiome, and overall healing.
This episode will completely change how you think about gut health, recovery, and what your body actually needs to heal.
Marci Evans is a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorder recovery, body image healing, and intuitive eating. She works from a weight-inclusive, anti-oppression lens and has trained countless clinicians in this space.
She brings both clinical expertise and deep compassion to this conversation—and you're going to feel that.

If you've been told your missing period is due to "hormone imbalance," estrogen dominance, or that you just need more supplements… this episode is going to shift everything.
We're breaking down why so many functional approaches miss the root cause of hypothalamic amenorrhea and what actually needs to change to restore ovulation and fertility.

If you're trying to get your period back, regulate your cycle, or get pregnant, it's easy to assume the answer is more supplements, stricter nutrition, or a more "perfect" workout routine.
But here's the truth most women miss: Your daily habits matter just as much as what you eat or how you exercise.
In this episode, I'm walking you through my exact morning and nighttime routines that support my hormones, nervous system, and overall fertility.
These are the habits that help your body feel safe, nourished, and regulated, which is exactly what your body needs in order to ovulate and conceive naturally.
And the best part? You can start implementing many of these today.

In this inspiring client story episode, Victoria sits down with former client Allison to share her powerful fertility journey.
After 10 years without a period, multiple doctor visits across the country, and being repeatedly told she would likely need Clomid or IVF to get pregnant, Allison began to believe motherhood might not be possible for her.
Despite being told she was "healthy" and having a normal BMI, her cycle never returned after coming off birth control. Doctors diagnosed her with PCOS and offered birth control or fertility treatments as the only options. But something didn't feel right.
When Allison discovered Victoria's work, she decided to try one last approach before accepting fertility treatments.
In this episode, she shares the truth about her recovery journey, including the emotional challenges of changing long-held food and exercise habits, the mindset shifts required to heal, and what happened when she finally gave her body the safety signals it needed to ovulate again.
Within one month of beginning recovery work, Allison got her first period back. Over the following months, her cycles regulated. And when she and her husband eventually began trying for a baby…She got pregnant the first month.
Now 19 weeks pregnant, Allison reflects on what she wishes she had known sooner and how doing this work before pregnancy made the experience far less stressful physically and mentally.
If you've ever wondered whether you're the "exception," this conversation will give you both hope and clarity.

If you've been told your AMH levels mean you "don't have time" or that IVF is your only option… this episode is required listening.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is often used as a marker of ovarian reserve. Doctors rely on it heavily when evaluating fertility. But when you have hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) or period loss, AMH can be incredibly misleading.
In this bonus episode, I'm breaking down:
- What AMH actually measures
- Why AMH can appear falsely LOW in HA
- Why AMH can appear falsely HIGH in HA (and get misdiagnosed as PCOS)
- Why HA must be ruled out before diagnosing PCOS
- When AMH is actually useful
- Why restoring ovulation is the real goal — not obsessing over a lab value

This is our high-touch program for women who are ready to restore ovulation, regulate their cycles, and conceive naturally — without living in fear of weight gain or giving up their identity.

Your metabolism isn't about how fast you burn calories.
It's about how well your cells create energy.
And when cellular metabolism slows down, everything slows down — including ovulation.
In today's episode, we're breaking down the 3 key markers we use inside fertility recovery to assess metabolic health:
- Your metabolic type (via HTMA)
- Your basal body temperature (BBT)
- Your full thyroid panel (not just TSH)
Because when we support metabolism at the cellular level — whole body healing becomes possible again, and this is what restores your fertility.
If you're ready for personalized support, there are 2 spots left in Premier Period Recovery for Fertility this month. Apply HERE.
If your period is missing… or your cycles are wildly unpredictable… this episode is going to change everything.
Because your missing period isn't the root problem. It's the symptom.
In today's episode, I'm breaking down the 3 unexpected root causes of period loss + irregular cycles:
✨ A damaged metabolism ✨ Depleted nutrients ✨ Nervous system dysfunction
And how they all lead to the same outcome: 👉 brain-ovary miscommunication + depleted hormones
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why your body shuts down ovulation when it doesn't feel safe
- Signs you have these root causes outside of period loss alone
- How to stop guessing and start fixing what's actually happening

Hear real client wins, learn the truth about body fat and estrogen, and find out what actually moves the needle in period recovery (hint: it’s not just about eating a few more calories or gaining five pounds).

In this episode, we’re busting one of the biggest myths in the wellness world: that red meat is bad for you. Spoiler: it’s actually one of the most fertility-supportive foods you can eat.
We’re talking:
- Why grass-fed beef is a nutrient-dense powerhouse (think: iron, zinc, B12, choline)
- The truth about saturated fat + cholesterol and how they support your hormones
- Why cutting red meat might be holding back your period (and your pregnancy)
Plus, real client stories and simple ways to add beef back in without food obsession.

In today’s episode, I’m calling out the gaslighting many of you have faced in the doctor’s office when you’re told “everything looks fine”—even though your body is clearly screaming otherwise.
We’re breaking down why “normal” labs ≠ optimal for fertility, especially if you’re dealing with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). We’ll decode the key labs like FSH, LH, estrogen, AMH, prolactin, and thyroid markers—and what they actually mean for your fertility.
If you’ve been dismissed or misdiagnosed with “unexplained infertility,” this episode is your roadmap to understanding what’s really going on.

If your period is missing, your digestion is a mess, and your labs are “normal” but you still feel off—this episode is for you.
In today’s powerful episode, I’m joined by gut health expert Dr. Heather Finley to explore the invisible yet critical link between digestive health, mineral balance, and your hormones.
We unpack why so many women with a history of dieting, overtraining, and under-eating are now struggling with chronic bloating, constipation, fatigue, and infertility—and why it’s NOT just about food intolerance or stress.
Dr. Finley shares:
- What minerals actually do in your body (beyond the basics)
- How restriction wrecks digestion and creates mineral depletion
- Why mineral imbalances show up as digestive symptoms
- When to consider functional lab testing (like HTMA)
- How to live in wellness without spiraling into obsession

Let’s call this what it is: a fertility crisis rooted in diet culture. This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest lies women have been sold—the 1,200-calorie “healthy” diet—and how it’s quietly contributing to infertility.
In this truth-bomb episode, we dive into:
- Why 1,200 calories is toddler-level nutrition, not adult female fuel
- How under-eating disrupts hormone production and shuts down ovulation
- What Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) really is—and why it’s so common
- Real-life client success: how Morgan went from overtraining + under-eating to ovulating and getting pregnant—naturally

This week on the podcast, I sat down with gut health dietitian Megan from Grounded Nourishment to unpack this wildly overlooked connection between your nervous system, digestion, and hormones.
Because if you’re on the path to period recovery or trying to get pregnant naturally—healing your gut and regulating your stress response isn’t optional. It’s essential.
Here’s what we got into:
🧠 Why women with hypothalamic amenorrhea often deal with chronic constipation, bloating, and food sensitivities 💥 How nervous system dysregulation (aka always being “on”) shuts down digestion and hormone production 🫀 The exact reason stress, undereating, and overexercising lead to poor gut motility and missing periods 🌬 Breathwork, bitters, and simple vagus nerve practices to get your gut—and your cycle—back online 💫 The trauma-gut-fertility link no one talks about enough
Megan Gerber, RD, LD, IFNCP, CGN is a Functional Medicine Dietitian, Breathwork Teacher, and the founder of Grounded Nourishment. She's also the co-founder of JÜJ Digestive Bitters. Meg specializes in helping women heal from chronic digestive issues by addressing the root cause — not just through nutrition, functional testing, and supplements, but by naming what often gets overlooked: stress. In her practice, stress isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the elephant in the room that can wreak havoc on gut health and stall healing. While the wellness world often says “we are what we eat,” Meg takes it a step deeper: “We are what we digest and absorb.” This truth anchors her approach — one that integrates nervous system regulation as a non-negotiable part of gut healing. Whether it’s through mindful eating, parasympathetic breathwork, or EFT tapping, Meg helps her clients reconnect with their bodies, calm their systems, and finally experience relief.

If you're trying to conceive but your period is missing, I want you to know: you're not broken, and you're not alone. Many women experience hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), where the body suppresses reproductive functions due to stress, under-eating, or over-exercising. But the good news is—with the right nourishment, recovery is possible.
So today, I’m walking you through exactly how I’d eat if I were trying to get pregnant with no period. Listen to learn more!

We're diving into a topic that's often overlooked but crucial for fertility: low estrogen. Estrogen isn't just about mood swings or hot flashes; it's a key player in your reproductive health. Usually, we focus on what to do if it’s elevated—“estrogen dominance”. But what do you do if your estrogen is low, and how do you know if it’s low?
In today's episode, we'll explore three signs, without lab testing, that might indicate your estrogen levels are lower than optimal—and what you can do about it.

You lost your period back in high school or college because of an eating disorder, disordered eating, or over-exercising. You got put on birth control to “regulate” things. And now, years later, you’re off the pill, trying to conceive, and your period is still MIA. And nobody told you this could happen. No one warned you that even if you’re “fine” now… your body might not be.
So let’s break it down. Today we’re talking about what your past with restriction, dieting, or an eating disorder has to do with your fertility right now — and what to actually do about it.

Minerals are a foundation to fertility. We want before pregnancy to be a time of mineral replenishment. You want to be in the positive, because nothing demands more nutrition than creating human life and your body’s needs in the process to making that beautiful baby. Nothing will deplete you more than pregnancy and postpartum. So we don’t want to start off in a deficit.
This is why with every client we work with, after they get their first recovery period, we order an HTMA test to assess their mineral status and develop a customized gameplan based on their personal results so they can start off pregnancy in a state of nutrient replenishment.

Ready to stop battling your body and start fueling for your future?
If the answer is YES, here's what to do next:
- Sit down and write a pro’s and con’s list…sure weight gain will be on the con’s list but think about it…is there really anything else?
- Now compare those pro’s to your values and your goals for period recovery. For example, if you’re trying to get pregnant, which weighs heavier, the importance of ovulating and cycling again to get your period back, or letting the fear of weight gain hold you back from your dreams?
- Make a decision, right here, right now. Either decide you’re all in or decide you’re not. Stop living in indecision and fear. Postponing fear only creates more of it.

Period recovery has this funny way of making you question everything about your habits.
Is this enough? How do I know if it's enough? What if I'm too full for the next snack? Could I keep exercising if I reduce intensity? Will this even work?
If this sounds like you, I’m going to take a wild guess and say…
❌you are doing everything by yourself and DIY-ing your recovery
❌your 'winging' it and playing a guessing game of how to get your period back
❌you have no one in your life that really gets it, you try to talk to your partner about how scary this is, but they don't really understand and just keep telling you to "go eat a cheeseburger"
Period recovery can be stressful, unpredictable, and a total mental rollercoaster🎢
But after working with 450+ clients, I can tell you the secret to period recovery SUCCESSFULLY is… wait for it….
✍️a proven process with support every step of the way
That’s why I created my brand NEW group program, 90 Days to Get Your Period Back!
“Three months into working together and BOOM, I got my period back and have had cycles ever since. I am so, so, so grateful for my work with Victoria and would do it again in a heartbeat.”
Let’s be honest, you don’t have time to waste googling, guessing and trying to piece together a period recovery plan.
90 Days to Get Your Period Back will give you a proven process to follow to get your period back AND support every step of the way.
That’s right, you won't have to deal anymore with comments like "you look fine, what are you so worried about" from well-meaning partners, family and friends when you try to tell them about your struggles.
You'll instead get direct access to me over the 90 days AND a community of like-minded women who get it and understand you because they, too, are doing the work to get their periods back.
90 Days to Get Your Period Back launches on Tuesday with an unprecedented and one-time-only price of $497! DOORS OPEN TOMORROW!!

Your friends all think of you this way, commenting that they wish they could have your control, and how “good” you are at eating healthy.

Learn more about Food and Body Peace Playbook Fall Cohort HERE!
Enrollment update: New deadline to join is Tuesday, 10/17!
Change your mindset, change your habits, change your LIFE. Because our thoughts impact our actions. What you think will directly impact how you treat yourself.
And if those thoughts are negative? Your health will be negatively impacted, too. If your mindset is that you're not enough, one where you are overly critical and harsh with yourself, imagine how this impacts you...
It makes you end up neglecting or obsessing over your health. A life where you're going on diet after diet after diet, thinking there is something wrong with you. But inevitably, the diet fails and you feel like a failure, too. This is why you end up binge eating the peanut butter jar at night and eating all the kids' snacks when they go to bed at night.
Or going on diet after diet after diet, because you too think something is wrong with you, leads you to absolute obsession. All you do is think about food and your body. It's 99% of the thoughts you have. You cannot even enjoy your life because food is all you ever think about.
I know you want to feel good, to be healthy, but you don’t know how to eat and live without dieting. It’s all you’ve ever known. This mindset is all you've ever known.
Imagine if we could change your mindset. A mindset is defined as a set of attitudes. So imagine if your set of attitudes was of peace, of acceptance and of trust in yourself.
This is why inside Food & Body Peace Playbook, we provide you a playbook, a set of guidelines to follow, to change both your mindset and health habits.
In this 8 week online course, we will change your mindset to change your habits so that you can change your life. With the tools and support provided in this online course, you’ll be able to live a healthy lifestyle that works with your body, not against it. And what this means to you? You’ll be forever free from dieting.
And I'm so excited to announce that Food & Body Peace Playbook is OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!
You're a perfect fit for the program if you're ready to go all in to see the way you think and treat yourself change. You're ready for a new mindset that allows you to add more healthy habits in your life because you want to feel good. And you're especially a great fit if you're ready for a truly healthy lifestyle, a lifestyle AND food & body relationship, that you'd feel proud to pass on to your children. Enrollment is open now through 10/17!
So you want to be healthy but you don't want to diet anymore? Actually, you realize the dieting is NOT making you healthy at all. So what do you do? How do you be healthy without dieting? You focus on your mindset AND habits, and if that sounds interesting to you, listen to today's episode to learn more!

We are big fans here at Nourishing Women Podcast of talk therapy and mindset work, but as I study and coach on body image work, the more fascinated and focused I become on integrating body work into my own practice. But if you are disconnected from your body, possibly controlling your food intake or experiencing negative body image, in can be SO challenging to come back in to your body.
So in today’s episode, I asked my sister, Kat Beck, to come on the show to give us all energy hygiene practices we can all day (myself included!) to come back home to your body. Kat Beck of mystic medicine is an intuitive healing guide + embodiment artist. she guided mystics to reconnect to their body, the earth + each other with energetic + embodied healing to liberate your soul.
She’s on a mission to make energy hygiene + embodied movement practices accessible for all. You can click here to learn more about her services, here for her membership and here for her Instagram account.

Set point theory is a VERY popular discussed conversation in the anti-diet space, and one of the most common topics discussed with clients in our virtual practice. When working with clients, we can get into the nuance behind why we get focused on “finding” our set point, but that can be harder to do for you, my wonderful podcast community!
So I asked body image expert, Bri Campos, to come on the show today to discuss some of that nuance to set point theory and why we often fixate on it in hopes it may mean we will lose weight as an intuitive eater. We also talk to fellow coaches and providers in this episode, giving you lots to think about if you work in the body image space. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!
Brianna (or Bri) Campos is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of NJ. She works as a body image coach & is passionate about teaching women about Health at Every Size (HAES) and taking an all foods fit approach to finding freedom with food and learning to make peace with your current body.
In this episode we discussed:
- What’s changed in Bri’s life since she was last on the show back in 2019!
- Misconceptions that providers have about their ability to coach on body image with their clients, and how to better coach your clients.
- The pro’s and con’s to the education around set point theory and how this conversation can at times be misguided?
- Other popular themes with body image that providers share that may miss the mark when it comes to coaching on body image.
- How Bri is currently living wellness without obsession.

Self compassion may sound loving and helpful as you connect back into your body and learn how to respect it, but what exactly does it mean to be compassionate with yourself?
We’ll explore the concept of self compassion in this specific episode, and also address a common misconception with self compassion, that being compassionate with ourselves doesn’t allow us to accomplish things or be successful in life.
There’s a pervasive concept in our culture that in order to have what you desire- whether that’s health, or success, or happiness, that we need to be harsh and critical in order to be successful. And this is simply not true. Listen to today's podcast episode to learn more!

Do you relate to the idea of grieving your body? Have you ever heard this term before, body grief? We know that for SO many of our clients, the term body grief finally offers a description of how they feel IN their bodies. It offers language to the challenging emotions you feel about your body.
Grief is a challenging and intricate emotion. Our emotions affect our ability to care for ourselves, and experiencing grief is no different.
Grief will absolutely affect how we care for our bodies. This is why it’s important to allow ourselves to grieve and mourn what is lost, even if that means grieving the idea of a body that we never actually had. We grieve the loss of our “ideal” body. We grieve the loss of the fantasy of what a perfect body will give us in our lives.
This is where I often tell clients that the only way out is through. Through the grief, through the pain, through the disappointment and frustration. Listen to today’s episode to learn more about body grief including the 5 stages of body grief so you can identify the specific stage you’re in.

Intuitive eating is a dynamic integration of instinct, emotion and rational thought. We eat (and stop eating) in large part due to hunger and fullness cues. But body cues are not the ONLY reason we eat!
One of the biggest misconceptions I see about intuitive eating is that you only eat what you are craving 100% of the time and that it's just simply “listening to your body”. While that would be fun and ideal, it is simply not realistic for most of us in our daily lives! And that doesn’t mean you are not an intuitive eater if you have to factor rational thoughts or make real life decisions to help you decide how, what and when to eat.

Founded four years ago by Susan and Tara in a bathroom, Here We Flo is on a mission to challenge shame and disrupt the period, bladder, and sexual wellness markets with its organic and vegan products, including tampons, pads, reusable period underwear, and condoms.
Here We Flo ensures every product is good for the planet, free of dyes or chemicals, and is 100% cotton. Their Flo pads have saved the equivalent of 61 million plastic carrier bags. At the heart of Here We Flo’s leadership is a social good. From the beginning, Here We Flo has given back 5% of profits to people and the planet. The business has supported incredible charity partners like Bloody Good Period, a period poverty organization, and The Brigid Alliance, which promotes safe abortion access for Americans. Last month alone saw the business donate 10,000-period pads to charity.
Susan Allen grew up in the city of champions — Boston, Massachusetts, and received her B.A. in communications and legal studies from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. After three years at a healthcare policy nonprofit in Boston, she moved to New York City to join George Soros' philanthropy, the Open Society Foundations. Susan completed her master's in management at the London School of Economics in 2015. She relocated to London in 2016 to lead the Foundation's work on diversity, equity, and inclusion and to launch Here We Flo with her best friend, Tara. Their mission is to make shamelessly natural personal care products that make us feel crazy confident about life's messiest moments - from periods to bladder leaks, to sex and everything else on the human body rollercoaster.
Tara Priya Chandra is co-founder of Here We Flo. Born in San Francisco, she studied Economics at Columbia University in New York City, where she tried almond milk and kombucha for the first time and had her mind blown. After working on Wall Street for a hot minute, Tara ended up in the music industry in LA while freelance copywriting for brands like Ray-Ban. Tara received her master's from the London School of Economics, where she met her bestie and future co-founder Susan, had the idea for Here We Flo in the university bathrooms, and received the C200 Award for exceptional MBA students. Tara and Susan launched Here We Flo with a Kickstarter campaign in 2017 and the business has been shaking up the personal care category ever since, with a purpose-driven, sustainable period care and sexual wellness range that offers 'shamelessly natural' products. Since 2020 in the USA alone, Here We Flo has saved 9.5 million period care products from landfill.*
*Flo period care products are biodegradable vs industry standard.
In this episode we discuss how Susan and Tara started Here We Flo, what makes them unicorns in the period care industry, why they make their marketing relatable as possible and an important discussion on taking words like hygiene and sanitary out of the period conversation.
Learn more about Here We Flo at their website and Instagram. Their products can now be found in retailers including Target, Whole Foods, HEB and more!

There’s a 9 out of 10 chance you’ve heard of the book, Atomic Habits. It’s a NYT bestseller. And there's a good reason for that! I really love this idea of breaking down habits into small, incremental steps so they actually become habitual.
Yet as is true for most things, the weight centric approach is all over the book. Why is it that all self help books use weight loss as their example for how to change with EVERYTHING?
It’s so frustrating! I wish the world could see that we can work on forming habits and improving our health without fixating on weight or appearance. Unfortunately we’re just not there yet as a society. But that’s what we’re working towards in the anti-diet world!
Since I think there’s actually good insight from the book to glean, but I know it could be so triggering for many of you, I’m recording this episode to help you get all the juicy details out of the book, and applying it to your anti-diet health journey.
Listen to today’s episode to learn how to make the book Atomic Habits anti-diet and support your health journey, without being triggered by the book’s rampant weight loss examples.

Similar to my own journey, Eden has had her own journey in disordered eating recovery and transitioning from selling weight loss to intuitive eating coaching. If you want to hear more about the important revelations that led to Eden’s decision, plus how sports nutrition fits into intuitive eating, you cannot miss this week’s episode!
Eden is a registered dietitian, former collegiate athlete turned mountain athlete, recovered disordered eater, and Intuitive Eating counselor (in training - she's in the process of becoming a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor). Eden majored in Psychology at Texas A&M, and after she was diagnosed with Female Athlete Triad in 2012, she decided to combine her undergraduate degree with a Master's Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Georgia State University.
For Eden, the overlap between our psychological health and our nutrition choices is way more important than "eating healthy." Now, Eden helps active individuals realize that a fueled body performs better than a starved body, confidence comes from body acceptance (not weight loss), and we are capable of so much more than we realize when we finally stop trying to shrink our bodies and our personalities to please others.
In this episode we discuss:
- Eden’s journey growing up as an athlete, becoming a college athlete and then choosing dietetics as a profession.
- How athletics influenced her disordered eating, including her diagnosis of Female Athlete Triad.
- Eden’s decision recently to leaving selling a popular weight loss program and what led to that decision.
- Red flags Eden indicates that the weight loss program wasn’t true “food freedom” as its often promoted.
- 1-2 tips for how to approach sports nutrition from an intuitive eating lens.
- How Eden lives wellness without obsession.

Here are some statistics you may have not known about binge eating:
-
Binge eating disorder is more than three times more common than anorexia and bulimia combined.
-
Research estimates that only 28.4% of people with current BED are receiving treatment for their disorder
- And also… Three out of ten individuals looking for weight loss treatments show signs of BED.
I wanted to record this episode because I feel like binge eating has become a term thrown out a lot, often used by people to emphasize how much they ate. Some of these people have BED, some of them experience episodes of binge eating and some do not binge eating in any way, it’s more so used to emphasize that they ate more than their norm or more than they are comfortable with.
Listen to today’s episode to learn more about what exactly is binge eaitng. And next week we will dig in even more with 5 steps to stop binge eating!
And if you are someone who is currently struggling with the diet-binge cycle or food obsession, I want you to know you deserve support and healing now.
And I’d love to invite you to join our winter cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook to get you that support and healing.

My fellow recovering perfectionists, you are going to love today’s conversation, with guest Kara Loewentheil, about how to truly create self confidence by rewiring your brain and thoughts, and letting go of perfectionist fantasies around New Year's resolutions.
Kara Loewentheil, J.D., is a Master Certified Coach, Host of the top-rated podcast UnF*ck Your Brain, and creator of The Clutch: A feminist mindset revolution. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she did what every Ivy League feminist lawyer should do: Quit a prestigious academic career to become a life coach! Her Jewish parents have almost recovered; the fact that she built her business from zero to seven figures in three years didn't hurt. Five years after leaving the law she has taught thousands of women how to identify the ways that sexist socialization impacts their brains, and how to literally rewire their thought patterns to create true authentic confidence from within.
In this episode we discuss:
- Kara’s journey from lawyer to becoming a master certified coach and starting her own business, podcast and coaching community.
- How thoughts create our feelings and impact our actions, and how to use the thought ladder to positively change this.
- New Year’s Resolutions: Are they good goals or perfectionist fantasies?
- Three “women’s empowerment” sayings that actually do a disservice for us in truly being empowered as women.
- What it truly takes to accept and love your body at any size.
- How to work towards neutral beliefs about your body to help change your body image.
- Kara shares about her amazing podcast, U****k Your Brain, and her coaching community, the Clutch.
- How Kara practices wellness without obsession.

Since I know this is a time of year that our clients really struggle with food guilt, trying to avoid all the holiday food but then end up eating all the Christmas cookies when no one is around, I wanted to help you through these unique challenges.
I think we can all agree that there’s more “off limits food” around this time of the year more than any other time. And maybe it’s the prolonged time frame that messes with us too- from Halloween to New Years, this tends to be a time where people feel like there’s no point to “try” so they give up on their diets or eating healthy with the resolve that they will just start over in the New Year.
But this mindset is caused from the all or nothing mentality. So in today’s episode I explain what exactly is the all or nothing mentality, different ways it shows up in our relationship with food, especially during the holiday season, and two easy ways to challenge it over the next month.
If you are ready to let go of the all or nothing mentality around food, to make peace with your body and discover health that promotes physical and mental well-being, you can join our winter cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook. By doing so, you’ll feel confident that you are entering into the New Year with a plan for how to transform your relationship with food and your body, so that you are unrecognizable this time next year. Standard and VIP options available this round!
If you are interested in private coaching, the holiday season and beginning of the New Year is always a busy time of the year for our practice. If you’re looking to receive the highest level of care we offer at NMN, reach out now to guarantee you can get started before March of 2023.

Are seed oils REALLY inflammatory? If you are just the slightest bit interested in health, wanting to eat to feel your best, you must have had this thought before, haven’t you?
In today’s episode, I hope to clear some of the air and give you an honest perspective.
When discussing these oils, we are talking about Canola (rapeseed), corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, rice bran, safflower, soy, and sunflower oils. These are what’s called “the hateful “ by some, Even if you don’t purchase these oils and cook with them at home, other places you may possibly consume them are when eating out (restaurants, fast food, pre-made food from stores) or packaged foods and snacks and some baked goods.
Seed oils have a mix of unsaturated and saturated fats and a mix of Omega 6s and Omega 3s. Overall, they fall into the category of polyunsaturated and they are higher in Omega 6s than saturated fats.
Will talk about the claims about seed oils in this episode, and whether or not they are true. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!

If you’re interested in gut health, you likely have seen on social media the crazy amount of information you “should” do to heal your health. Eating the right foods, avoiding inflammatory foods, taking a million supplements and more, it seems like the list of things you should do is never ending! I asked gut health and eating disorder expert, Marci Evans, to come on the show to help you understand how malnourishment plays a role in your gut health, and why recovery is the answer most of the time.
Marci identifies as a Food and Body Imager Healer® practicing from a weight inclusive and anti-oppression lens. She has dedicated her career to counseling, supervising, and teaching in the field of eating disorders. She is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian and Supervisor and certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. In addition to her group private practice, Marci launched an online eating disorders training platform for clinicians in 2015 and co-directs a specialized eating disorder internship at Simmons University. In 2018 she received the Professional Integrity Award from The Behavioral Health Dietetics Practice Group of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She has spoken locally and nationally at numerous conferences and media outlets. She regularly communicates on social media so be sure to connect with her @marciRD.
In this episode we discuss:
- What ignited Marci’s passion for eating disorders.
- The four main reasons digestive issues are so common in the eating disorder population.
- How the gut brain axis influences how people feel in their bodies, and how they experience their digestive symptoms.
- How the gut microbiome is impacted by eating disorders and malnourishment.
- Why it’s so important to only give recommendations based off the actual gut health research we have available (aka why you shouldn’t follow the advice you hear on TikTok).
- How Marci lives wellness without obsession.

Have you ever wondered, why am I so damn crazy obsessed with helping people make peace with food and their body? If so, today’s episode is for you!
As a bonus episode to let you know that this Sunday is the final day to join our October cohort for FBPP and that you want to join now because:
- This is the last group we are running in 2022.
- Price will be increasing next round.
- You’ll be supported through the holidays, which can be one of the hardest times to feel at peace with food and confident in your body.
- You’ll enter into the New Year truly being able to walk away from another failed resolution attempt.
- You’ll truly be able to enter into the new year with peace with food and your body, which will allow you to care for your body with ease.
So, in today’s episode I’m going to share with you my own personal journey. Listen to learn more and click here to join Food and Body Peace Playbook!
If I were to ask you, what is your self worth dependent on, how would you answer? Would it be the grades you make in school? The accolades you hold in your job? How hard you work? How good of a mom you are?
What about your body? Do you feel that your body is THE thing that either provides you self worth, or is the very thing that you feel constantly holds you back from viewing yourself in a positive light?
And maybe that’s why you’re always on and off diets. You're always searching the latest and greatest diet to finally “fix your body”. Because you feel like once you fix your body, everything else will work out. You’re not alone if you feel that way. Because that’s the lie we are sold from diet culture.
In today’s episode, I hope to challenge you with what you believe about your own self worth.
If you’re ready to develop positive self worth, and to make peace with food and your body, join Food & Body Peace Playbook for our October cohort and final group for 2022.
FBPP is for for you if:
- You want more mental space and freedom from thinking about food & your body 24/7, so you can focus on the things in life that truly matter.
- You may still have the desire to lose weight, but you know the diets and clean eating schemes have gotten you nowhere, so you’re ready for a new approach to eating and health.
- You may be a little nervous to make peace with food & your body, but you’re ready to trust your body again and change the way you view food.
- You want to understand how to eat and care for your body, without the food and ‘fix my body’ obsession.
- You have tried to figure out Intuitive Eating on your own, you may have even read the book, but doing this on your own has caused so much confusion and overwhelm.
- You’re ready to receive guidance and accountability from our expert team and the other like-minded women who join Food & Body Peace Playbook.
- You want to change your relationship with food and your body so that you can be a good example to those around you (especially your children).
Who FBPP is not for:
- You’re looking for a quick fix.
- You’re looking for a weight loss program.
- You’re looking for an “eat this, not that” diet solution.
- You’re not ready to change your mindset on food and your body.
Remember you have until October 9th to join our October cohort, which will be the final round for 2022.
What if you could get dressed everyday without negative body talk? And what if you could feel confident in your body without changing what you eat?
Today on the podcast, we are going to cover 5 specific ways to feel more confident in your body on a daily basis.
And why do we want to experience confidence in our bodies? Confidence allows us to:
- Eat ice cream AND feel confident your body can handle it.
- Put on a bathing suit without freaking out over what your stomach looks like.
- Eat for the entire day without logging it into My Fitness Pal.
- Trust that your body has your back, allowing flexible health habits in your life that stick.
Confidence in your body goes so much deeper than confidence in the way your body looks. It’s confidence in what your body can do for you, the life it facilitates for you.
I mean think about it, you’re going to live in this body for the rest of your life. Don’t you want to feel confident in your body, not so much from a looks perspective although that’s great too, but more so confidence that your body will and can take care of you?
If you are ready to gain the tools to have confidence in your body for life: Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) is our signature 8 week group coaching program that will help you build trust in your body so that you can gain confidence in it.
And what this means to you is that you can wake up everyday, feeling excited to get dressed.
FBPP covers three tiers of body image work (understanding our body beliefs, body image is brain work, and how to respect and come home to your body) so that you can experience confidence again in your body.
Know that as you listen to today’s episode, we are OFFICIALLY open for enrollment for our October cohort. You have from today to Sunday, October 9th or until all spots fill to join, and you can find the link to join BY CLICKING HERE!
Do you constantly feel guilty for what you eat? And does the guilt you feel about food involve concern over how that food is going to impact your body, i.e. will it cause weight gain?
Have you ever thought about WHY you feel guilty about what you eat? In today’s episode we explore the main culprit of food guilt, diet culture, and how it causes food guilt.
Because here’s the truth: Guilt and shame take us away from listening to our bodies. Before we can listen to the body, we need to reject diet mentality, remove the negative emotions and morality involved around food, and take us away from listening to our bodies.
So in order to feel at peace around all foods, and to feel good in your body, you’ve got to work through these beliefs and emotions you have around both food and your body, which is exactly what we do inside Food & Body Peace Playbook.
Food & Body Peace Playbook is a mindset focused program. 5 out of 8 modules are focused on helping you shift to viewing food and your body in a positive manner.
This means the internal chatter will shift into language that is compassionate, caring and trusting in your body and how you care for it. And what this really means? Your mind will be free to focus on the things in life that truly matter!
Spots are filling fast for our group coaching program, Food & Body Peace Playbook. If you want to work towards food and body peace in a community of like-minded people so you can learn and grow together, you’ll want to fill out your application form soon! We are currently at 7/10 spots filled.

Have you ever experienced extreme hunger when you stopped dieting? Maybe you went from barely any hunger at all, and you stopped following Weight Watchers, paleo, keto, etc and now you cannot stop thinking about food?
Or maybe for you it’s that the feeling of hunger is complicated to you. You often ignore, push it away, which then leads you to get to the state of primal hunger at the end of the day and eat everything in sight.
The truth is, hunger is an interoceptive cue of the body that we’ve been taught is bad, or to ignore, or that if we experience it too often, we aren’t doing something right.
In today’s episode, one of the incredible dietitians at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Megan Perez, walks through why hunger is a complicated sensation, and what to do to befriend your hunger.
You’ll walk away with actionable steps to better manage your hunger going forward, and make sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode for updates from me and announcements you’re gonna want to hear!
In this episode I reference our new Meal Planning Guide, the Fear of Weight Gain Masterclass and here is the link to Megan’s packages.

There may be a way to save yourself hours per week with this one small change to your health habits. And that’s meal planning!
Over the past couple weeks, we’ve addressed many of the positive benefits to meal planning, like helping you eat for satisfaction AND nourishment, reducing decision fatigue and helping you have sustained energy all day long because you’re eating enough throughout the day.
And in today’s episode, I want to address even more the reasons you may consider meal planning as part of your health journey. Because let’s remember, diet culture doesn’t get to own meal planning.

Our Meal Planning Guide will help you plan the 21 meals and variety of snack options you need on a weekly basis to nourish yourself.

You will have hours back in your week to spend how you really want, like with your kids.

What if you could eat the most delicious meals, in the comfort of your own home, without the decision fatigue you typically experience.
Let’s be honest, we are all busy bees. Same here. If I tried to come up with satisfying meals in the moment, meals that satisfy my desire for flavor and nutrition, I would give you a blank stare.
This is where meal planning can be so beneficial. In today’s episode, we dig in more to the fifth and final component of the 5 factors we’ve been addressing over the past three weeks on the podcast. And that’s flavor! Plus, we also discuss the benefits of meal planning, such as reducing mental decision fatigue.

What if you could have energy, all day long, without drinking a pot of coffee? Imagine how that would feel. Crossing items off your to-do list with joy, excited to do your job, to come home and spend time present with your kids.
Have you ever considered that maybe it’s not supplements and powders or another superfood you need in your diet to accomplish this type of sustained energy? That what you need is food.
Because food is so much more than fuel, but it’s important to remember it is THE THING that will give you sustained energy throughout the day.
So in order to feel good, to have energy all day long without relying on coffee or powders or superfoods and what have you, to cross items off your to-do list with joy not impending doom, I want you to do two things, that you’ll learn about in today’s episode! Plus, you’ll also be introduced to the 5 factors at mealtime, with a detailed review of the first 2 factors, carbohydrates and protein.

One of the hardest things about choosing food and body peace is admitting to yourself that you are struggling. Even harder? Telling those in your life that you love about those struggles!
Today’s episode is one of hopefully many to come, where dietitian at my practice, Emilie Hebert, interviews one of her clients on their experience working with Emilie. Lauren was gracious enough to agree to come on the show, and I cannot thank her enough for doing so!
My hope is that this episode gives you light where there is currently darkness. That you see that choosing peace is worth it, even if it feels scary as hell initially to do so. Lauren shares her process of admitting to herself that she struggled, sharing this with her partner, and why she chose to seek help even though at times she didn’t feel ‘sick enough’ to do so. Listen to this incredible story to learn more!

Can you engage in popular wellness trends, like intermittent fasting, if you have a history or are currently struggling with disordered eating?
Intermittent fasting is all the rage these days, and is touted as a way to improve blood sugar levels, cognitive function, life longevity, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation and so many more proposed benefits.
And if you have been here since the beginning of the show, this title is an episode we did in the first year of the show, all the way back in 2017. I actually went back and listened to the episode, and a lot of what we shared is pretty similar to how I feel now, but I did feel like it was due time to re-do this episode with more up to date information.
Because what is different is how STRONGLY I feel against intermittent fasting, in comparison to our first episode with this title, where we saw some of the benefits. Now, I just see it as an excuse for people to engage in disordered behaviors. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!
*In the beginning of the episode I accidentally say ‘intuitive eating’ instead of ‘intermittent fasting’.

The saying goes “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” But you’re used to skipping breakfast because you’re intermittent fasting or counting collagen in your coffee as a breakfast.

You deserve to live life the way you want, and have the energy you desire, and we can teach you the tactics to learn how to eat for ENERGY by listening to this very show.

Today on the show we have guest, Mia Donley, who shares with us all how to work towards body trust by building safety in your body. Mia Donley, MPH, RD, CDN is a registered dietitian and consultant working in the field of eating disorders and public health. She originally pursued nutrition to bring culturally relevant nutrition education to the field, as she didn't find her own family's foods and practices reflected in dietetics. She's worked as a nutrition educator in schools, coordinated public health programs, and currently works for a group practice focused on eating disorders. Outside of counseling, she teaches classes on cultural nutrition and helps create spaces for Black dietitians and dietitians of color working in the field of eating disorders and nutrition.
In this episode we discuss:
- What inspired Mia’s passion for the anti-diet sector of dietetics.
- How to build trust with food and body, PCOS, and GI issues, especially for WOC and queer folks of color.
- One tangible way those listening to work can work on building trust with their bodies.
- How Mia lives wellness without obsession.

I loved this episode with Maria so much. It speaks to your SOUL, that’s just how Maria is. At the end of the episode, I ask Maria about why taking FBPP was different than listening to the podcast, which she has been listening since the VERY beginning, since 2017!
You’ll have to listen in to hear Maria’s answer, but one of the things her answer made me reflect on is the why behind why I transitioned the program (from when it was formally called Permission Stage Playbook) from an online course to instead a cohort style, group coaching program where we only enroll 3-4 times a year with a limited amount of students each enrollment period.
My why is because I care, deeply. I don’t want you to take an online course to absorb 15% of it, and apply absolutely nothing. I want you to go through the material, participate in the support group, show up for the group calls and actually create change in your life!
Our last round of FBPP in the spring had a 84% completion of course material. To compare this, I found a study from 2018 that shared the average completion rate of online courses was 15%! That’s not even measuring the group coaching component of the program, which is the most highly rated part of the program.
In this episode we also discuss the differences between WHY to change versus HOW to change. And if you’re ready for the how through education, support and accountability, you can click here to learn more about Food & Body Peace Playbook.
We have officially closed the doors to our July cohort, however, you can go ahead and apply now to reserve your spot for our most popular group, our October cohort. Click here to learn more!
In today’s episode we debunk 4 common misconceptions about intuitive eating so that you can have clarity about what intuitive eating is all about.
Do you have duct tape on your broken relationship with food and your body?
If you do, and if this broken relationship is just getting worse as you try to determine how to fix it…and if you've been stuck at the 'let me try to fix this myself' place for awhile: This is your sign. It's time to ask for help. It's time to receive the support, accountability and momentum you need to heal your relationship with food and your body.
Food & Body Peace Playbook will help you do exactly that. Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) is our signature 8 week online group coaching program that will help you make peace with food, trust your body again and live wellness without obsession. And what this means to you is by joining our July cohort, you'll feel at ease that you've asked for the help you know you need.
FBPP is open from today until July 24th or until all spots are filled. Click here to get started and reach out on Instagram if you have questions about the program!
Today on the podcast we have yet another special guest, Melissa! Melissa participated in our April cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP), and is on the show today sharing her experience going through the program. You’ll hear Melissa share how she started dieting around 8 years old, how she learned about intuitive eating as a mental health therapist, and why she decided FBPP was a great fit for her needs.
You’ll also hear me share about how learning how to ride a bike and learning the intuitive eating process is so similar. Sure, you can learn how to ride a bike by reading about it, heck even listen to podcast episodes about it. But that cannot compare to actually getting on a bike and riding it! FBPP is how you will get on the bike, actually applying what you learn in your intuitive eating journey, so that you can meet your goals.
FBPP is an 8 week group program that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know in order to make peace with food, and also your body.
You're a great fit for FBPP if:
- You want more mental space and freedom from thinking about food & your body 24/7, so you can focus on the things in life that truly matter.
- You may still have the desire to lose weight, but you know the diets and clean eating schemes have gotten you nowhere, so you’re ready for a new approach to eating and health.
- You may be a little nervous to make peace with food & your body, but you’re ready to trust your body again and change the way you view food.
- You want to understand how to eat and care for your body, without the food and ‘fix my body’ obsession.
- You have tried to figure out Intuitive Eating on your own, you may have even read the book, but doing this on your own has caused so much confusion and overwhelm.
- You’re ready to receive guidance and accountability from our expert team and the other like-minded women who join Food & Body Peace Playbook.
- You want to change your relationship with food and your body so that you can be a good example to those around you (especially your children).
Are you ready for pro health, pro nutrition advice and SUPPORT on how to live in a peaceful place with food and your body? FBPP is open from today until July 22d or until all spots are filled. Click here to get started and reach out on Instagram if you have questions about the program!
When people here anti diet here’s what they hear: Anti health. Anti nutrition. Anti vegetables. In this episode, we will talk about one of the concepts of intuitive eating to help you understand why there’s so much misinformation about this self care eating framework: Making peace with food.
Making peace with food involves giving yourself unconditional permission to eat. People take this to mean: you’re going to be eating every second of every day, eating foods you deem unhealthy forever. Honestly, when I hear this response, I know without a doubt, that the person sharing this concern is struggling with diet mentality.
Making peace with food is a powerful experience. And I would argue is one of the most health promoting things we can do for ourselves! FBPP is an 8 week group program that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know in order to make peace with food, and also your body.
You're a great fit for FBPP if:
- You want more mental space and freedom from thinking about food & your body 24/7, so you can focus on the things in life that truly matter.
- You may still have the desire to lose weight, but you know the diets and clean eating schemes have gotten you nowhere, so you’re ready for a new approach to eating and health.
- You may be a little nervous to make peace with food & your body, but you’re ready to trust your body again and change the way you view food.
- You want to understand how to eat and care for your body, without the food and ‘fix my body’ obsession.
- You have tried to figure out Intuitive Eating on your own, you may have even read the book, but doing this on your own has caused so much confusion and overwhelm.
- You’re ready to receive guidance and accountability from our expert team and the other like-minded women who join Food & Body Peace Playbook.
- You want to change your relationship with food and your body so that you can be a good example to those around you (especially your children).

Today’s episode is SO special because today on the show I have a member of our April cohort Food & Body Peace Playbook, Lara!
Inside this episode, you’ll learn how Lara first worked with us inside Get Your Period Back Playbook, and then decided to continue on in her intuitive eating journey by joining our signature group coaching program, Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP).
FBPP is an 8 week online group coaching program that will help you make peace with food, trust your body again and live wellness WITHOUT obsession. What that means to you is you will feel CONFIDENT in your food choices and at ease about your health.
Inside of FBPP, we host 5 group coaching calls over the 8 weeks of the online course so that you can get consistent support in your health journey.
In fact, according to a study completed by the American Society of Training and Development people who commit to their goals with a group of other people, are 95% more likely to achieve those goals.
This is just ONE of the many reasons we believe our students in FBPP hae such success in reaching their goals. Listen to learn more and hear Lara’s experience inside this program!
FBPP is open from today until July 22d or until all spots are filled. Click here to get started and reach out on Instagram if you have questions about the program!
I used to teach people how to lose weight for a living. It was my career and identity. In the beginning, 10 years ago, I was totally sold on it. I so firmly believed that people could live off the 1,200 calories diets I was giving them. That they lacked discipline when they didn’t stick to the plan. I was judgmental of OTHERS eating habits because I was JUDGING MYSELF.
Overtime, I woke up to the realities of the negative impacts of dieting. Now, my business helps undo those damages.
We teach women and people how to make peace with food and trust their bodies again. I know if I’m helping someone who chronically diets, or restricts and binge eats, or who has disordered eating/orthorexia that I’m helping them, not harming them.
And that’s why Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) exists. FBPP is an 8 week online group coaching program that will help you make peace with food, trust your body again and live wellness WITHOUT obsession.
What that means to you is you will feel CONFIDENT in your food choices and at ease about your health.
This is the body you’re going to live in the rest of your life. When your 80 years old, how do you want to look back and reflect on how you treated your body? If that resonates I want you to know:
Food & Body Peace Playbook was designed just for you. You’ll learn how to: * Stop the dieting, for good. * Learn how to eat FOREVER. * Stop the body hatred and mean girl self talk. * Start respecting and trusting your body again. * Live life FULLY and embrace wellness without obsession.
FBPP is open for our July cohort TODAY. Its open from today until July 22d or until all spots are filled. Click here to get started and reach out on Instagram if you have questions about the program!
Dietitian at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Megan Perez, is back on the show today! In today’s episode, Megan guides us through a better understanding of what fiber is, sources of fiber in the diet and the health benefits of fiber.
Since Megan works with clients on gentle nutrition, especially for her PCOS clients with some degree of insulin resistance; it’s fun to discuss health promoting practices such as adding fiber to your diet! However we still see many clients who come to us consuming too much fiber. We have a lot of people who come to us with digestive concerns such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and so with these clients, we always assess their fiber intake. So in this episode we help you understand how much fiber is too much fiber, so you can determine the amount that feels best for you.

Have you personally or known of someone who has taken a food sensitivity test? And have you ever noticed that overtime, for many people, the results dissipate? That they may even cause anxiety or worry about the foods they are intolerant to?
Today, I want to discuss why I don’t like nor recommend food sensitivity testing. This is definitely a tricky subject. What I’m not trying to do in this episode is take away your body autonomy. If they have worked for you. Or if you have genuine food intolerances, I’m not saying that is wrong.
You are going to have to be the ultimate decision maker. You are the expert of your own body! Listen to today’s episode to learn more about food sensitivity testing.
Don’t forget you have until Thursday, June 30th to join Food & Body Peace Playbook for presales which includes a free coaching session with me!

Lauren Cadillac is a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, certified personal trainer and retired bodybuilder. She owns and operates a virtual private practice where she helps individuals from all over the world heal their relationship with food.
Rather than focusing on a number on the scale or strict food rules, Lauren takes an approach to nutrition that encourages behaviors that support physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Her client’s progress and success is measured not by weight, but instead by more relevant markers of health such as energy levels, sleep, digestion and mood. She teach my clients the Intuitive Eating framework so that they can heal their relationship with food and become the expert of their own bodies.

Did you know that it is common in many cultures to believe pleasure is a part of taking care of your health?
Yet in our society that promotes thinness as the only way to pursue health, we have forgotten this important component of enjoying and living life, and also taking care of ourselves...and that’s eating and living for pleasure and satisfaction!
At our practice, Nourishing Minds Nutrition, we have a belief that food should be chosen for flavor first and foremost. What’s really cool about this mindset is that it can truly allow for food freedom and an all foods fit mentality, because all foods can be so delicious and pleasurable to eat, brussels sprouts and chocolate chip cookies included!
However, if you are new to intuitive eating and come from healthy eating obsessed or disordered eating and dieting past- you likely are not well tuned in to your ability to recognize pleasure and satisfaction. So let’s dig in to that more in today’s episode!

Have you ever wondered, how do I know if my relationship with my body needs repair? What does it actually look like to have a stressful body relationship or negative body image? In today’s episode we go through specific examples, including that you may have learned these behaviors from your parents, especially your mother.
Because 99% of our clients come to us sharing that their relationship with their mother, and specifically their mothers relationship with their body, impacted how they ended up treating their own body.
If you can relate I want you to know #1 you’re not alone and #2 there is a better way!
There is a way to not live your life body checking all day everyday, letting the scale number dictate your mood for the day and changing how you eat based off how you feel in your body that day.

I know for so many of you podcast listeners, your relationship with nutrition is controlling. And it's absolute in thinking, like "I HAVE to eat (fill in the blank) amount of vegetables per day" or "I can only eat carbs at one meal a day" or "I can only eat sweets on the weekend."
Or maybe for you it's that nutrition reminds you SO much of your days of dieting that you have completely avoided nutrition because it reminds you too much of restrictions and rules.
And in order to make gentle in mindset, flexible in action part of how you approach nutrition, I'm hosting the Gentle Nutrition Masterclass on Wednesday, March 23rd at 7pm EST (recording available if you cannot attend live)!
You can click here to learn more and grab your seat!
In this masterclass you'll learn how to shift your mindset around nutrition, what flexible in action actually looks like, and specific gentle nutrition practices you can apply in your everyday life.

Today is a random conversation podcast kind-of-episode for you! In this episode we talk about using body autonomy as a scapegoat for promoting weight loss as an intuitive eating provider, and my disappointment in seeing providers marketing weight loss when they also say they help people heal from disordered eating. In this episode I also wanted to share that I stand in solidarity with Mickey, Lindley and ASDAH in the harm caused by Lindo Bacon. We are working to make changes in how we approach Health At Every Size as a result, and will continue to actively work to reduce our harm caused. You can learn more about what has transpired in this article, this article and this article.

We have had a podcast episode on the mindset shift of wellness without obsession before. But at the time I record this, my thoughts, experiences and expertise have continued to change and grow. So I thought it was time for an updated episode on this concept!
As a podcast listener, I have asked you to consider engaging in health habits without restriction, obsession, and rules. THIS is what wellness without obsession is all about.
A term created in our very first e-book in 2017, wellness without obsession became the company’s philosophy, the podcast motto and a trademarked term owned by my company.
It’s hard for me to define wellness without obsession because it means so many things to me! But in today’s episode I define and share my current thoughts on what is wellness without obsession. At the end of the day, improving your relationship with food and your body IS about health. It is about wellness.
But because we are choosing a healthy relationship, you will notice that engaging in health habits is far more easy and fun, and removes the stress, concern and obsession. This is how we create sustainable health habits that last a lifetime.
If this mindset shift is something you’re looking for, if you’re looking for a nutrition approach that is gentle in mindset and flexible in action, I would love to encourage you to join the Gentle Nutrition Masterclass I’m hosting on Wednesday, March 23rd at 7pm EST with recording available if you cannot attend live.

The Gentle Nutrition Masterclass is coming this month! Join this 60 minute masterclass on Wednesday, March 23rd at 7pm EST (replay available if you cannot attend live) to learn how to navigate your nutrition from an intuitive eating approach.
Have you ever considered pelvic floor physical therapy to support your IBS or PCOS? We’ve talked about pelvic floor PT to support postpartum management on the show before, but today we are focusing on how it can help manage conditions. Today on the show we are welcoming my very own pelvic floor PT, Jenna Sires, to help us learn why we all need to consider our pelvic floor as part of a whole body, holistic approach to wellness. Plus, we talk about common misconceptions about the pelvic floor, including the burning questions, should we be doing kegels or not?!
Jenna Sires received her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. She began her course work to become a pelvic floor physical therapist in 2011 and has not looked back. She has chosen to specialize in the care of men, women and children experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.
Jenna is passionate about spreading education to the community on all things related to pelvic health. Jenna is certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling, has presented at SCAPTA on numerous occasions, and has had the opportunity to teach at the university level to further educate physical therapy students on a comprehensive approach to evaluating and treating lumbosacral, pelvic, and hip dysfunctions. In her free time you can find her with husband, two beautiful children, and adorable dog.
In this episode we discuss:
- How Jenna decided to specialize in pelvic floor therapy.
- The truth about kegels! Including why they can be potentially harmful.
- The link between IBS and the pelvic floor, and how pelvic floor dysfunction can impact management of IBS.
- The link between PCOS and the pelvic floor, and how pelvic floor PT can support management of this hormone condition.
- How Jenna practices wellness without obsession.
Learn more about Jenna and her team on their website and her Instagram account.

Last week we talked about why we lose our periods from excessive exercise. This week I want to talk about exercise from an intuitive eating lens, specifically how to be flexible with your fitness. One of the reasons I believe it’s so important to be flexible with your fitness is that there are going to be times in your life where exercise should and will need to be modified, or potentially even completely eliminated for a period of time.
Inevitably, our lives change. Maybe you move, get a new job, have children, lose a family member, or have an injury. Maybe your recovery requires a pause in exercise. When life happens, whatever it may be, we want you to know that movement is always there for you when you need it. It’s true that movement helps us process through emotions, can help comfort us and connect back inward, and can be a healthy coping mechanism for the stress in our lives.
But if it’s the only form of coping we have, we are not setting ourselves up for success. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!

As part of the celebration of the new release of Get Your Period Back Playbook available as an anytime purchase, I wanted to record today’s episode on a component of hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) that we have yet to discuss, and that’s how excessive exercise contributes to HA.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis or HPG axis refers to the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and gonadal glands almost as if they are a single entity. This axis plays a critical role in the development and regulation of several different body systems like reproduction and immunity. The HPG axis is what controls the cascade of your hormones releasing to create your monthly menstrual cycle, and also what can stop it from happening altogether, too. Remember, HA is when the brain (specifically the hypothalamus) turns “off” the ovulation switch.
The HPG axis is extremely sensitive to the environment. And today we are going to address this from a lens of excessive exercise.
Exercise has benefits no doubt. In a very basic explanation, exercise teaches our bodies to adapt to stress. It’s actually a form of stress to the body, typically viewed as a positive stressor, teaching our bodies how to handle stress more effectively.
But when the allostatic load is too much, this positive stressor becomes a negative stressor. And when we have numerous stressors in our lives, from exercise but also our daily lives, work, family, our health habits, and mental stress...it becomes too much stress on our bodies. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!
If you struggle with HA and you are ready to regain your health and fertility from HA, you’re a perfect fit for Get Your Period Back Playbook. Join GYPB to get your period back with our tested strategy and with the guidance from the team at Nourishing Minds Nutrition.

I am so honored to say today on the podcast my guest is a client I’ve worked with Mary Weis. Working with Mary was an absolute joy. She was like many of our clients, working to fully heal her relationship with food and her body. But when we started working together, I immediately noticed how intense her digestion symptoms were.
You’ll hear in this episode how we helped her work with her doctor to get antibiotics to treat SIBO, and we focused on removing the stressors in her life, healing her relationship with food and body and experimenting with different supplements that aid digestion and SIBO recovery.
We also discuss in detail orthorexia, why commenting on weight loss is problematic and the importance of letting go of health as your one and only identity. Listen to learn more and get inspired in your own recovery journey!
In this episode we discuss:
- What Mary’s relationship was like with food, exercise and her body growing up.
- When Mary’s relationship with food started to change, and what made her decide it was time to reach out and ask for help.
- Working through the fear of beginning the process to truly let go and give yourself unconditional permission to eat and not letting the fear of weight gain hold you back.
- Letting go of the identity of being the “healthy one” and the importance of doing so.
- Mary’s SIBO journey and how this influenced her journey.
- Mary’s advice for anyone listening that feels like they aren’t sick enough to ask for help.
- How Mary practices wellness without obsession.
Find Mary on her Instagram and her blog.

Before we begin this episode, I am putting a call out for therapists who also own online businesses and work in the intuitive eating/body image space. We recommend therapy to every client we work with, and we’d love to set up a referral system with a select group of therapists who can work with our clients and conversely, that we can be your choice for dietitian referral for your clients. If you are interested in learning more, you can email me at hello@nourishingmindsnutrition.com. TW: I will share calorie amounts in this episode. Please do not listen if this could be triggering for you in any way.
In today’s episode, we discuss why calories are energy, not the enemy. I want to first begin though by validating the reason you are likely controlling, counting or trying to reduce your calorie intake. And that’s your desire for weight loss.
Letting go of the desire to lose weight may seem near impossible at this point in your journey and that is a completely valid way to feel! Our culture is obsessed with thinness and losing weight for “health reasons.” We are constantly bombarded with messages, ads, social media, products/supplements etc. promoting weight loss, so it makes sense to have the desire to lose weight (because our culture shoves this idea down our throats).
In today’s episode I help you understand why calories are a GOOD thing, and why we need calories to thrive. Listen to learn more!

What does it mean to come home to your body? To practice embodiment? Today on the show I want to talk to you about one of my favorite parts of helping women heal their relationship with their bodies, and that’s being IN your body. That’s why I love the concept of coming HOME to your body so much.
Because for most of us, our bodies are not our homes. They are something separate from us, something to control, something to perfect…and I’m on a mission to help you change that. Coming home to your body is a practice of embodiment. Listen to learn more about what exactly is embodiment and ways to come home to your body.
Today’s episode is also brought you to by Primally Pure.

Hunger is not a weakness, and not something you need to overcome! Remember, getting TOO hungry is only going to contribute to chaotic eating.

In today’s episode, we explore these types of hunger for you to explore in your intuitive eating journey.

Kara Loewentheil, J.D., is a Master Certified Coach, Host of the top-rated podcast UnF*ck Your Brain, and creator of The Clutch: A feminist mindset revolution. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she did what every Ivy League feminist lawyer should do: Quit a prestigious academic career to become a life coach! Her Jewish parents have almost recovered; the fact that she built her business from zero to seven figures in three years didn't hurt. Five years after leaving the law she has taught thousands of women how to identify the ways that sexist socialization impacts their brains, and how to literally rewire their thought patterns to create true authentic confidence from within.
In this episode we discuss:
- Kara’s journey from lawyer to becoming a master certified coach and starting her own business, podcast and coaching community.
- How thoughts create our feelings and impact our actions, and how to use the thought ladder to positively change this.
- New Year’s Resolutions: Are they good goals or perfectionist fantasies?
- Three “women’s empowerment” sayings that actually do a disservice for us in truly being empowered as women.
- What it truly takes to accept and love your body at any size.
- How to work towards neutral beliefs about your body to help change your body image.
- Kara shares about her amazing podcast, Unfuck Your Brain, and her coaching community, the Clutch.
- How Kara practices wellness without obsession.

Today on the podcast, I’m sharing with you 10 easy ways to cope with a bad body image day. This will be a short and sweet episode, which is perfect, anytime you are having one of these days, a bonus step could be coming to listen to this episode to remind you how to navigate it. The truth is, bad body image days happen.
I find for a lot of my clients, they can happen when they are challenging food fears (and the discomfort of eating them makes their brain perceive they have suddenly gained loads of weight), when they are having a stressful day or week and just generally can occur when things in our life feel out of control. As sad as it is, most of us feel that our bodies and food are sometimes the only thing in our lives that we can control. We want to be compassionate with ourselves when we feel this way, but I also encourage you to not let these negative thoughts dictate your actions and how you treat yourself or feed yourself. Listen to today's episode to learn more!
Thank you to Primally Pure for bringing today’s episode. I am enjoying the rose tinted lip balm,plumping face mask and charcoal deodorant, all perfect for entering into the spring season. You can use the code NOURISH for 10% off your first order.

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!

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.

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!

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you know that in addition to intuitive eating and body image work, we also specialize in hormone and digestion disorders.
The most common hormone conditions we work with are HA and PCOS. Hypothalamic amenorrhea or HA is extremely common, no matter your body size, when you struggle with orthorexia and disordered eating. This is why we talk so much about it, because there’s a huge gap in the hormone space about HA.
I’d like to talk about aspects of HA today that is less well known or talked about, and that’s the stress connection to HA- and the main culprit of my community’s stress, which is perfectionism. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!
In this episode I reference Get Your Period Back Playbook, our HA recovery program that will help you regain your health and fertility. This program will reopen for enrollment in March you can join the waitlist here.

Wow today’s episode is AWE INSPIRING. I am honored to have guest Lauren Sheehey on the podcast today to talk with you about the mask of perfectionism, and her 30 day abstinence journey from perfectionism and exercise. A quick trigger warning: we do discuss trauma and sexual assault in today’s episode.
Lauren Sheehey is a writer, meditation teacher, relentless creative, and most recently a new mom. For years, she worked with clients around the world as a Lifestyle Development Coach; her work focused exclusively on guiding women through their healing, empowerment, and self-actualization with a fully integrated, mind-body approach.
Now, Lauren is translating this work into motherhood and facilitating deep-dive conversations on her podcast, Hungry for More. She has witnessed, first-hand, the power of inviting women to tell, own, and write their stories. She knows that showing up and sharing oneself in a way that is unapologetically real and raw is ultimately the path to revolution.
You can find her writing on her blog, her instagram, and scattered across the internet for professional wellness brands. She has edited books for publishing and advised the copywriting for countless marketing campaigns, but you can find her doing what she loves most on her podcast; writing about the hard, beautiful, messy moments of life and reading them to her community.
In this episode:
- Lauren’s work and podcast, Hungry for More.
- The ever-evolving journey of recovering from an eating disorder and healing from past traumas.
- Taking the mask of perfectionism off to truly heal.
- What Lauren’s 30 day abstinence from perfectionism and exercise addiction, what this looks like and an honest review of how it’s going.
- How Lauren practices wellness without obsession.

In this episode, let’s chat about beauty ideals and body image. Because today’s unrealistic standards for what is beauty, and the societal standards we experience, absolutely sets the stage for our own body image beliefs.
I mean how could it not? Sit and think about this: what are the images of women you saw growing up? What did they look like? I know for me it was Barbie dolls and princesses on Disney. What were your mothers or other adult women around you talking about as you grew up? For me, dieting and controlling food and our bodies was just the norm of what conversations among women looked like.
Listen to today’s episode to learn how beauty ideals impact your own body image, and the differences between self expression versus self objectification.
In this episode I reference the books: The Beauty Myth, Invisible Corset and More Than a Body.

If you’re interested in learning from the author of Health at Every Size and Body Respect about why weight doesn’t equal health, today’s episode is for you! Plus, we dive deep into the evolution of Dr. Bacon’s books and their new book, Radical Belonging.
Dr. Lindo Bacon is a researcher and former professor, and for nearly two decades taught courses in social justice, health, weight, and nutrition. Dr. Bacon holds a Ph.D. in physiology with a specialty in nutrition, and master’s degrees in psychology and exercise metabolism. Dr. Bacon has mined their deep academic proficiency, their clinical expertise, and their personal experience to write two bestselling books, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, and the co-authored Body Respect: What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, or Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight.
Their newly released book, Radical Belonging: How to Survive and Thrive in an Unjust World (While Transforming it for the Better) , takes their inspiring message beyond size, to shaping a culture of empathy, equity, and true belonging.
In this episode we discuss:

- A basic explanation of what exactly is Health at Every Size.
- What led Lindo to write Health at Every Size, and what the book left out that they believe is integral to health.

Today I want to talk to you about the differences between how we set goals as a dieter, versus how we set goals with intuitive eating and body image work. Because I could imagine, for some of you, this is actually what’s holding you back and keeping you stuck- unable to truly move into your intuitive eating journey.
Setting goals as a dieter tends to be short term and weight or appearance based. Even if it is health related, it tends to have a weight equals health approach, and still comes back to weight loss.
Yet I find that setting goals as a dieter rarely leads people to actually feeling as if they’ve created sustainable health habits that stick. Rarely do people create health habits that they will have for the rest of their lives through dieting. Honestly, I find dieting tends to do the exact opposite.
It tends to make people hate eating vegetables because they force themselves to eat only raw carrots and steamed, unflavored broccoli. So they think that all vegetables lack flavor. Dieting tends to make people never want to exercise, because when they forced themselves to exercise as a dieter it was from a perspective of punishment for what they ate, not for pleasure and enjoyment of moving the body.
If this resonates then listen to today’s episode to learn the differences between goals as a dieter versus goals as an intuitive eater. You’ll learn about how the destination needs to feel like the journey, how to set long term health goals, habit formation instead of goal setting and avoiding perfectionist planning.
In today’s episode I reference this episode from Kara’s podcast, Unf*ck Your Brain and you can also hear her on the podcast here.

Curious what it means to build generational wealth? I was too! Which is why I asked Alissa Todd to come on the show. Alissa Todd is a Personal CFO and Financial Advisor who helps ambitious women build generational wealth so they can experience time freedom, financial freedom and a work-optional lifestyle. Through their Personal CFO Planning Process, her team creates a financial roadmap so their clients know exactly what to do with their money and take the guesswork out of their finances.
Like many people, Alissa struggled at the beginning of her financial journey. She had zero knowledge on personal finance or investing. Now, she specializes in helping ambitious women outsource their financial strategy so they can access more time freedom to feel more confident and clear about their financial future. Alissa grew up in The Netherlands and Ireland before moving to sunny Southern California. Outside of business, you can catch her at the beach, doing yoga or sipping spicy margs with her friends.

Today’s guest is Emilie Hebert, an anti-diet dietitian empowering people to love food and respect their bodies. Her goal is to help you heal from disordered eating so you can share your best self with the world.
In college, Emilie struggled with disordered eating and hypothalamic amenorrhea. She understands how it feels to believe that you will never live a life of food freedom because your food fears and negative body beliefs are so overwhelming.

Emilie practices using the principles of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, and specializes in working with vegan/vegetarian clients and clients in the LGBTQ+ community.

“You’ve gained weight, are you pregnant?” I will never forget the moment when a co-worker said this to me so casually as she passed me in the parking lot.
I wasn’t pregnant. I had been gaining weight because I was healing my relationship with food. And at that time in my life, I was deeply uncomfortable with it. I can’t remember what I said back to her but I do remember going to my car and crying about it.
I can’t help but wonder if I had understood how to stand up for myself and had clear boundaries about what was allowed to be said to me, how that conversation might have changed.
So in today’s episode I am going to give you some examples of setting boundaries in hopes it helps you continue in your intuitive eating journey.

Body image is brain work, not body work. And what this means to you is if you have really negative and self deprecating thoughts about your body, trying to change your body won’t make them go away.
Instead, doing the brain work will help you learn how to make peace with your here and now body, respect your body and have compassion for it, too.
In this episode you’ll learn how to deal with negative thoughts and the 5 step process to changing body image beliefs. Plus, you’ll learn how body image thoughts aren’t always objective fact and what to expect when it comes to that mean girl inside your head that tells you your body is never enough.
Are you a momma, momma to be or someone who’s passionate about changing the next generation’s body image for the better? I’m hosting the Momma Body Love Workshop on Thursday, August 5th to teach you how to navigate postpartum body image, how to better your own body image to model it to your children and how to set your children up for success when it comes to their relationship with their bodies. Tickets will be available starting this week and you can follow along at @nourishingmindsnutrition and @victoriamyers_ for more information.

Did you know that…food is not always the cause of your GI symptoms? In fact, sometimes it has nothing to do with food and everything to do with your thoughts around the food. Today we are going to explore why this may be through a conversation on the gut brain axis.
I want to thank Marci Evans for her recent workshop that inspired this episode and is the reference for most of what I’ll share in this episode.
The brain is involved in so much aspects of your health. From how the digestive response is impacted by the gut brain axis, to how body image work is brain work, to even how the hypothalamus, the control center of your brain, is the reason your period can shut down if you are undereating and overexercising...it is TRULY fascinating to think about how our brain is involved in so much of what we think and feel and believe on a daily basis and how this may impact our health.
In this episode we dig in to the link of disordered eating and the digestive system and GI symptoms you may be experiencing through understanding the connection of your gut brain axis.

Today’s episode is an important conversation that NEEDS to be in podcast form. I’ve touched on thin privilege on Instagram posts and with guests on the show, but I wanted an entire episode dedicated to the subject. Here’s what I want you to understand about thin privilege: Your body image struggles are real no matter your size. Your experience and struggles are real and valid. But we have to be willing to look at our privileges in all situations, body image and how this impacts our relationship with food, included.
I used to promote myself as the “body positive dietitian” and I now realize how much of a mistake on wording that was. That was taking a movement that wasn’t created for me. And honestly ignorance on my part thinking me as a size 10 was not accepted. I hope this episode helps you see that your experiences are real and true and you are not alone in not accepting your body. Yet, as with any privilege we hold, it’s not your fault or something you should feel guilty about. It’s about recognizing that there’s some experiences we may never be able to understand.
There are three types of fat phobia, that I’ve learned from Virgie Tovar (click here to listen to her episode on the podcast). A person in a thin body can experience INTRApersonal struggles as we all fear becoming fat in our society that tells us it's the worst thing in the world to happen to our bodies. But a thin body won’t experience interpersonal and institutionalized fat phobia. This helps explain thin privilege in a meaningful way- that yes, your experiences are real, but these are two major areas you likely will never experience or understand if you live in a thin body.

I am thrilled to have Candace Molatore on the podcast today. I have followed Candace on Instagram for quite awhile now, and I have to say I’m obsessed! She is beautiful, with impeccable style, but more importantly- her words and writing speak to me so much. She’s like that calm, nurturing and honest friend that you cling on to every word she says to learn and do better as a person yourself. Candace Molatore is a Self-Love Advocate, Branding Consultant and Photographer based in Portland, OR. With a passion for building community, Candace uses her photography and writing skills to broadcast the message of self confidence, body positivity and inclusivity online. She shares her interests, inspiration, tips and everyday life with her audience regularly through social media. With a modest but strong following behind her, Candace continues to spread the message of inclusivity and self-love with high-quality visuals, a strong work ethic and a mission to make everyone feel empowered in their own skin. Today’s podcast sponsor is super special. When I approached Candace to come on the show, I mentioned a charity donation to support a cause that was important to Candace to say thank you for her time coming on the show. Candace also met my donation, and suggested that I share about the charity as the sponsor of the episode, and I thought it was such a brilliant suggestion!
So, today I am honored to tell you about the Jim Collins Foundation.
The mission of the Jim Collins Foundation is to provide financial assistance to transgender people for gender-affirming surgeries. The Jim Collins Foundation recognizes that not every transgender person needs or wants surgery to achieve a healthy transition. But for those who do, gender-affirming surgeries are an important step in their transition to being their true selves. However, access to gender-affirming surgery is impossible for most. Discrimination against transgender people is so prevalent that many transgender people struggle to survive, never mind save for surgery costs. Even for those who have health insurance, coverage is systematically denied. Many insurance policies contain a “Transsexual Exclusion Clause” which excludes all medical procedures related to a person’s transgender status. For many transgender people, access to surgery is out of reach.
The Jim Collins Foundation raises money to fund gender-affirming surgeries for those transgender people who need surgery to live a healthy life, but have no ability to pay for it themselves. We recognize that for those people who require surgery for a healthy gender transition, lack of access to surgery may result in hopelessness, depression, and sometimes, suicide. The Jim Collins Foundation is a community-based initiative promoting the self-determination and empowerment of all transgender people.

It’s been a long time since we last had a podcast episode on intermittent fasting and I thought it was due time to an update, review of the research and to have an honest conversation with you about your need for rules.
It’s common and totally okay to have questions about what is intuitive eating aligned and what is not when it comes to health trends, and even nutrition research. Because intuitive eating isn’t anti-health or even anti-nutrition, and...ALSO...Ultimately, this is your body,and your choice, so if you decide intermittent fasting is for you then it’s your choice to make, but I’m hoping I can give you another perspective on this super popular trend.
Let’s first describe what is intermittent fasting. Intermittent Fasting (IF) is a diet regimen that cycles between brief periods of fasting, with either no food or significant calorie reduction, and periods of unrestricted eating.”
In the episode we discuss:
- What is intermittent fasting and the different types of IF
- The reported benefits of intermittent fasting
- Considerations when reviewing the research on IF
- Potential cons to practicing IF (side effects)
- The weight centric and diet focus of the proponents of IF
- Why IF is inappropriate if you struggle with your relationship with food
- Why we don’t recommend IF for our clients at Nourishing Minds Nutrition

The purpose of today’s episode is to share the digestive response our bodies have to an eating disorder and how this impacts our gut microbiome.
For the context of this episode, I’m going to refer to eating disorders to include the entire spectrum: chronic dieting, disordered eating, orthorexia, anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating. Since I specialize in orthorexia, I’ll really be touching on this quite a bit in this episode, yet all eating disorders (ED) have an effect so this really is an episode to say all forms of ED impact digestion.
According to Marci Evans, 98% of those affected by ED have digestive issues. Specifically functional gut disorders (meaning no structural damage), although structural disorders can absolutely impact those with ED, too. In today’s episode we share why this may be that so many with ED struggle with digestive issues, as well as why those with digestive issues are more prone to develop ED.
There are so many mechanisms at play for how the digestive process is affected when we have an eating disorder, in this episode we will review how an eating disorder impacts digestion via:
- The gut brain axis
- The stress response of the body
- Inflammation
- Decreased variety of the microbiome
- Decreased intake of prebiotics (food for bacteria)
- As well as next steps to take as a patient and health care provider

I’m going to start this episode off with a rant of how bad diet culture is right now. I live in my non-diet bubble so much that sometimes I forget HOW BAD it is out there. I’m continuing to realize how prevalent diet culture is and how much we need to keep spreading our message. And I get that intuitive eating sounds like a different world. And that’s because it is. It’s about behavior change and self care actions instead of specific actions of weight loss. It’s a world that doesn’t exist in extremes and rules and that is HARD for us because that’s what we expect these days of diets. But it wasn’t always this way. We once had a world where we didn’t view foods as something to feel guilty about or induce shame. Once upon a time, mind body knowledge around food WAS the norm because we didn’t have an internalized diet mentality impacting it. And today I want to dig into the mind body knowledge part of intuitive eating as I know this can be one of the harder parts to figure out. But the Mind body knowledge is one of my favorite parts of intuitive eating. It opens the door to so much with your eating, and just how you live your life. So what exactly is the mind body connection? The mind body connection in its most basic definition is that your mind and body are connected, and affected by each other. Our mental state can affect how we hold tension in the body, the trauma response of the body and the pain our bodies experience.
And at the same time, our body can communicate to our minds its needs like when we are feeling anxious (think palms sweating or tightness in the throat), when we need to pee, when we are hungry, when we need to sleep or when we feel happy.
In this episode we discuss:
- Ways to build mind body knowledge
- What you can use the mind body knowledge for with eating and in life
- How this pertains to the IE principle, discover the satisfaction factor
- How satisfaction and pleasure with food is enhanced with mind body knowledge
- Allowing for pleasure in all areas of your life, how this leads to purpose
- Reflective questions to leave off this episode asking yourself

Mindfulness has been a buzzword for the past few years and the number of people practicing in the US has tripled in the past decade, but so many don’t know the real principles behind it. It’s more than simply calming the mind, it involves self-love, forgiveness, compassion, authenticity, and perspective.
After climbing the corporate ladder for nearly a decade, Nina left her flourishing career to take a year sabbatical. She moved to California to unplug and continue her pursuit for happiness while living in an ashram. It was at a peak point of stress sparked by the corporate grind that she took this drastic step to change her life. The outward move allowed Nina to look deeper inward. She wanted to see if there was a way to take ancient wisdom and apply it to modern day stressors and this lead her to an international bestselling book and the founding of Pure Minds.
She runs mindfulness and meditation workshops for the public and corporate sector and in this episode, Nina gives us realistic and approachable tools to begin to let that sh*t go and calm our minds.
In this episode we discuss:
- Nina's journey to writing, Let That Sh*t Go, and how her personal life impacted writing the book and starting a business focused on mindfulness.
- As a critical time to understand what is swirling around in our minds, Nina helps us understand how to begin tackling mindfulness in an approachable way.
- How we can all learn to let go of what we can’t control using mindfulness tactics.
- One small way everyone listening can begin to ‘let that sh*t go’ starting today.
- How members of the BIPOC or LGBTQ2+ community can find their voice and remain authentic in a world where there’s been so much oppression.
- How Nina practices wellness without obsession.

As we continue to explore gentle nutrition in this series, I’d love to talk to you today about nutrition hierarchy.
Today we will explore the concept of nutrition hierarchy, so what matters most and least when it comes to nutrition. Because I know you, and that you tend to be fixated and worried about “doing it right” when it comes to nutrition.
My goal is that this episode helps you see clearly the importance of adequacy, balance and variety, and that while individual foods can also be important, they are not at the top of the nutrition hierarchy pyramid.
In this episode I reference the Gentle Nutrition book by Rachael Hartley, and this article by Ellyn Satter.

Here’s some honest truth: Weight changes are likely the #1 challenge of choosing to become an intuitive eater. And for most of us? We believe weight loss will give us better body image, when it truly never will.
Sit and think about it: any time you’ve reached your “goal” weight did it feel like enough? Did you feel satisfied with your body? Or did it make you feel even worse? Want to keep going, “just another 5 lb?” Did you treat your body with more or less respect when you reached the elusive goal body you set for yourself?
More likely than not, the answer is that you felt even worse then. Because how our bodies look isn’t actually what creates positive or negative body image. It’s our thought patterns and how we treat our bodies that do.
So if we can work to instead focus on the real outcomes of better body image, you can hold space for your desire to lose weight but not actively participate in these desires, giving you the ability to focus on the changes needed to get your period back, eat enough, and learn to make peace with food and your body. Listen to learn more!

After working long hours as a Wall Street consultant, overcommitting herself to friends and colleagues, and putting her health on the backburner, Rachael developed an autoimmune disorder that forced her to slow down. The daily gym sessions, people-pleasing social life, lack of sleep and nonexistent lunch hours had finally caught up with her, and it took three years to return to homeostasis. During the time away from her career she began putting herself first, which opened her eyes to the flaws in our culture, a culture that puts success ahead of peoples’ health and unique pursuits of personal fulfillment. Rachael committed to reconnecting with her true self and began evaluating how the vicious cycle of overworking perpetuates itself in our culture.
Rachael was inspired to start Return To Flow to help burnt out professionals break free from our hustle culture and find balance and fulfilment — whatever that looks like for them. Listen to today’s episode to learn more about the 7 types of burnout and how to heal from hustle culture!
In this episode we discuss:
- Rachael shares her journey to becoming a coach that helps burnt out professionals break free from hustle culture.
- How American culture idolize workaholics - and why women are hit the hardest.
- The 7 main causes of burnout + the signs and symptoms of each.
- Why idolizing successful people’s routines and following “productivity hacks” and traditional self-help advice can be toxic and unhelpful.
- How to separate professional success and self worth.
- How Rachael practices wellness without obsession.

If you are struggling with hypothalamic amenorrhea, you may know the basics of recovery are to eat more and exercise less. But what does it mean to eat more? It’s interesting, the two most demonized macronutrients, carbohydrates and fat, will be the two most important nutrients to consider when it comes to getting your period back.
In this episode, I’ll help you understand why carbohydrates are essential to your reproductive health and your period resuming. One of my favorite things that carbohydrates do for our hormones is stimulate our glucose sensing neurons in our ovaries. Eating enough overall and eating sufficient carbohydrates tells these neurons to communicate with hormones, which are also involved in turning on GnRH secretion to stimulate the specific reproductive hormones involved in your menstrual cycle. But this is just touching the surface on the amazing things carbohydrates do for our bodies and how they help us in amenorrhea recovery!

Every round so far that I’ve done with Permission Stage Playbook (our online program that helps you make peace with food and body, enrollment reopening later in the fall, click here to join the waitlist), I get the question around if sugar is truly healthy or not to consume. This question almost always comes up when we are in the module discussing challenging food fears.
If you sit and think about it, I’m positive for you too, sugar is likely one of the most anxiety or fear provoking foods you could possibly consume.
And honestly this makes sense given the way sugar is discussed in the media, with health care professionals and any health blog on the internet these days.
Words like inflammatory, poison and enemy are words I’ve heard used to describe how “bad” sugar is for you.
But if you’re working to become an intuitive eater, you are rejecting diet mentality, making peace with food and challenging the food police, that mean girl inside your head that causes judgement and shame if you allow yourself to enjoy a chocolate chip cookie.
So what do you do? Do you sit and eat all the cookies because now you have permission? Do you allow yourself to have a cookie, but just one since it’s still sugar? Do you still limit sugar because you believe any and all sugar consumption is bad for you?
Let’s explore this in today’s episode in our gentle nutrition series!

Dr. Kim Daniels is on a mission to build an army of women who never deny themselves the food they love, who have left behind the days of anxiety about what they weigh, and who love themselves and their bodies. And who never diet again. In this lesson we detail through the why and how your weight is not your worth.
It’s rare to find a psychologist who specializes in anti-diet culture messaging and is a Certified IE Counselor, so trust me when I say this episode is a must listen!
In this episode we discuss:
- As a psychologist, how did Kim come to specialize in helping people develop a healthy relationship with food and body.
- How Kim helps women “curb” (not “cure”) emotional eating.
- Tangible examples of mindset shifts one can make to go from diet mindset to Intuitive Eating mindset, and questions to ask yourself to begin this process.
- Kim shares why focusing on weight loss does not work, and what “not working” means exactly.
- Context into the misogyny of diet culture and how this impacts us as women.
- How Kim practices wellness without obsession.

Today on the podcast, I’m sharing with you 10 easy ways to cope with a bad body image day. This will be a short and sweet episode, which is perfect, anytime you are having one of these days, a bonus step could be coming to listen to this episode to remind you how to navigate it. The truth is, bad body image days happen.
I find for a lot of my clients, they can happen when they are challenging food fears (and the discomfort of eating them makes their brain perceive they have suddenly gained loads of weight), when they are having a stressful day or week and just generally can occur when things in our life feel out of control. As sad as it is, most of us feel that our bodies and food are sometimes the only thing in our lives that we can control. We want to be compassionate with ourselves when we feel this way, but I also encourage you to not let these negative thoughts dictate your actions and how you treat yourself or feed yourself. Listen to today's episode to learn more!

Today I’m excited to have guest, Meredith Renshaw on the show! Meredith is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist at Free Method Nutrition, a virtual group nutrition practice that exists to equip women with the skills to overcome and the wisdom to move beyond the influences of diet culture. Meredith knows it can be overwhelming to establish a healthy relationship with food, in a world that suggests we should constantly be trying to make ourselves smaller. So often, women are fed lies that happiness is found in the size of their jeans, the number on the scale, or the calories burned in a day. She is committed to setting women free from this narrative.
Meredith champions women to find the food freedom they never imagined was possible, by helping them redefine health, ditch the restrict-binge cycle and embrace intuitive eating. She specifically enjoys working with college women to find peace with their body size and feel confident in their food choices in an environment where diet culture thrives. She works to empower college women to walk away from a life of shame and guilt around food and body image.
In her work at Free Method Nutrition, Meredith uses The FREE Method process, that is designed to take women from fed up and overwhelmed with diets and body dissatisfaction to freed up and empowered with lasting habits of Intuitive Eating and body respect. Meredith’s speciality areas are eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting, body image concerns and women’s health.
In this episode we discuss:
- Meredith’s role as lead dietitian at Free Method Nutrition.
- Meredith’s journey from weight loss dietitian to intuitive eating dietitian, how her years working at a college campus sparked her passion for working with people in college to work towards food freedom.
- The emotional impacts that can exacerbate the likelihood of developing ED in college
- How normalized diet culture is in a college setting.
- Tangible ways college students can protect themselves from diet culture.
- Healing from perfectionism while in college.
- How Meredith practices wellness without obsession.

Casey Zavaleta is a strength coach, fitness educator, and nutritional therapy practitioner based in Toronto, ON. She began her career with Toronto FC in the High Performance Department where she created programs to improve athletes' high performance habits. As a personal trainer, she has found a passion for leading and coaching women to engage with fitness for better reasons than changing their body size. She is currently an educator with DTS Fitness Education, where she is the lead developer for DTS Habits Coach, a course that teaches trainers to help their clients improve their habits and change their beliefs about themselves.
As a former dancer, Casey struggled for many years with my body image and disordered eating, and learned to define my worth based on how my body looked. After educating herself and doing countless hours of internal work, Casey came to a deep understanding that wellness is about much more than external markers such as the size of our bodies or the amount of weight we can lift in the gym. In this episode we help you explore what it looks like to set strength training goals for yourself that still honor and respect your Intuitive Eating mindset and practice.
In this episode we discuss:
- How Casey evolved to become a strength coach that practices in an IE aligned way and how she made that shift.
- Tangible examples of what it means to stop obsessing about how we want to look and start focusing on how we want to feel.
- Examples of what it looks like to set goals that are strength based that aren’t geared specifically towards weight loss
- Questions you can ask yourself to help navigate the tricky part of movement routines of creating a habit and being motivated to move your body.
- How Casey personally navigates being intuitive with her exercise routine while also progressing towards goals.
- Casey’s podcast, How Do You Feel Podcast and her work.
- How Casey practices wellness without obsession.

Today’s episode is helping you to understand and explore what happens in your body when you have hypothalamic amenorrhea. Unlike other hormone conditions, HA is directly caused from stress to the body, namely inadequate intake and excessive exercise. This episode helps explain how this occurs, and why we lose our period when our diet and exercise behaviors have gone too extreme.
In this episode we discuss the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis or HPG axis refers to the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and gonadal glands almost as if they are a single entity. This axis plays a critical role in the development and regulation of several different body systems like reproduction and immunity. The HPG axis produces hormones that cause women to menstruate. Each gland produces hormones in a precisely timed manner allowing them to work in harmony creating an ideal environment for your body.
The HPG axis is extremely sensitive to the environment. Changes in the environment can then affect the HPG axis and hormone production by disrupting its regularly scheduled programming.
What is a change in environment? And how does this affect the HPG axis? Listen to today’s episode to learn more!

Welcome to such a special episode! I had the pleasure of being a guest on Sabreen Haziq’s podcast, the Lavender Fix Project, where she asked me her honest questions about how exactly intuitive eating works. I asked her to come on the Nourishing Women Podcast, to ask me her honest and raw questions and allow me to coach her through the process! Enjoy listening to this episode to hear how I would coach you through the very real questions you have about how intuitive eating works. Sabreen Haziq is the host of The Lavender Fix (a humble project born Amid COVID19), a self-help podcast dedicated to sharing stories of perseverance & resilience from real people with real life experiences. Lavender represents the part of the psyche that, untouched by the weary and troubles of years, retains the vigor and vitality of youth. Learn more about Sabreen:
My episode on the Lavender Fix. Sabreen’s website.
Sabreen’s Instagram account.
In this episode we discuss:
- Who is Sabreen and her podcast, Lavender Fix, and who it’s for. What the world lavender means to Sabreen.
- The amazing questions Sabreen asks me includes:
- In this age and time kids are super unhappy with their bodies, and the media isn't helping. There have been studies that show 1 in 4 children has been on some sort of diet by the time he or she is 7 years old- really a time when they should be out there playing. Where do you think it all starts from? When are the seeds of diet-culture sown?
- How much of a role can parents play in promoting body positivity and intuitive eating right from the start?
- What is your opinion on the kind of products that are being openly sold across the world strengthening the diet culture- appetite suppressants, metabolism boosters, fat burners, especially with endorsements from such high profile influencers?
- I’m not sure I fully understand how it’s possible to let go and just eat whatever you want. How does the letting go piece work?
- What if while eating intuitively and your body tells you that you needed 4 cupcakes. Do still you eat till your cravings die out or do you practice portion control? How do you not draw the red lines?
- I’m sure there are people out there who are trying to get acquainted with intuitive eating while having difficulty celebrating non-scale victories. How does one change that and measure progress differently, especially if they're trying to lose weight?
- How Sabreen practices wellness without obsession.

I recently shared this Instagram post: “I’m not anti weight loss. I’m anti the system of beliefs, corporations, businesses, health care providers and influencers telling you the pursuit of thinness should be your highest ambition in life.”
I do not judge you for wanting to lose weight. And I'm not anti weight loss altogether. But if you think this is going to be an episode encouraging you to pursue intentional weight loss and intuitive eating, keep listening...
As hard as it will absolutely be, you have to put aside intentional weight loss to fully be free to rediscover intuitive eating.
One of my favorite quotes from the Intuitive Eating book shares, “If you allow even one small hope to linger that a new and better diet might be lurking around the corner, it will prevent you from being free to rediscover Intuitive Eating.”
When someone tells you that you can practice mindful eating or IE or food freedom and lose weight, and even diet and lose weight (in the long term) they’re promising you something they realistically, and ethically, cannot promise you. Listen to this episode to learn more and learn what will happen to your weight as you practice intuitive eating.

Human Design is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science that sheds light on a person’s energetic makeup, as well as specific tools you can use to live at your happiest, healthiest, highest potential. It doesn’t change who you are; it teaches you who you are. It offers insight into what’s possible, and highlights the significance of understanding and living as the fullest expression of yourself. Erin’s intention is to show the world a new way of work, a new path toward success, and a new perspective on living as you truly are. This may be a new topic for you, so I encourage you to listen with curiosity and openness. As always, take what parts resonate for you and leave the rest. This doesn’t have to define you, it can be simply a way to better understand yourself!
In this episode we discuss:
- Erin’s work as a leadership coach specializing in human design and what inspired her to specialize in this work.
- An easy to understand break down of what exactly is human design.
- The 5 types of human design, and the strengths and weaknesses of each.
- Human design is meant to help you can reach your highest potential, Erin gives us examples of how this can work with human design, and how it is meant to empower you, not limit you.
- How Erin practices wellness without obsession.
You can learn more about Erin with her website here and Instagram here. You can use the code NOURISH to give 10% off your blueprint for human design!

Today’s conversation is one of the most important episodes we have had on the show to date! I had the honor of having James Rose on the podcast to discuss the intersection of gender identity and eating disorders. Body dysmorphia and eating disorders are an extremely prevalent issue within the trans and non-binary community, yet it is so rarely discussed and further perpetuates the stereotype that only white, thin cis-gendered women struggle with eating disorders.
James Rose (they/them) is a non-binary New York City based actor, Health at Every Size Personal Trainer, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and co-host of the Full Soul Nutrition Podcast. They write about gender, eating disorder recovery, sex, their feelings, & their exes on their Instagram (@jamesissmiling) where they hope to leave the internet a little bit better than they found it.
In this episode we discuss:
- James’ story and what led James to be passionate about acting, personal training, yoga and eating disorder recovery.
- James shares their experience coming out as non-binary, and how this was different than their sexual identity coming out experience.
- Differences between gender identity, gender expression and gender assigned at birth.
- How gender identity intersects with eating disorders and the ability to receive help.
- Trans + non-binary people experiences with both gender dysphorhia and body dysmorphia, and how this connects to eating disorders.
- Transphobia is completely preventable, learn steps we should all be taking to prevent transphobia.
- How James practices wellness without obsession.

I think we are ALL in agreement that we are so glad 2020 is over. Wow, what a year. In this episode I’ll give you my honest and raw reflections on 2020, and how I want to show up for myself, my family and my business in 2021.
2020 was a weird year for me. In so many ways I felt stuck inside (literally and figuratively), in my head. Questioning my choices. Numbing more than I am used to, particularly with social media and watching just about every show on Netflix and re-watching the Office and Parks and Rec too many times to count. And I also had a good year in many ways, too. All the questioning and digging with myself about who I was and what my business stood for, finally paid off when I began to feel more CLEAR on who/what I am/do more than ever.
I think this year would have felt much, much shitter had I not consistently be experiencing such gratitude. Listen to today’s episode to learn what I felt so grateful for, how I feel going into 2021 and my word for 2021. I’m excited to be open and honest with you about myself and my life in this episode, be sure to come over to Instagram and tell me what resonated with you!

Today we have on the show, author of the Invisible Corset (now available for purchase!) and body connection coach. In this episode, Lauren shares the invisible corset is a set of culturally-inherited beliefs that make women as restricted and uncomfortable in their bodies as traditional corsets did. Wearing the invisible corset, women fear, dominate, disconnect, mechanize and coerce our bodies. When we get free, we not escape the generational cycle of female body hate, we also reconnect to the intuitive wisdom of our bodies.
In this episode we discuss:
- Lauren’s healing journey and what inspired her to become a body connection coach
- Lauren’s journey to discover and realize that the invisible corset exists, and ways in which she was wearing it.
- We discuss Lauren’s definition of the invisible corset and specific examples of the invisible corset in our lives.
- Lauren takes us through the different feminist movements and how the marketing messages of the day were promoted to challenge them and how now, the ‘problem with no name’ still exists.
- What happens when we take off the corset, and how do we end the cycle of female body hate.
- How the current body positive movement misses the mark in this work of taking off the invisible corset
- How Lauren practices wellness without obsession

Hello my fellow recovering perfectionists! You are going to love today’s conversation, with guest Kara Loewentheil, about how to truly create self confidence by rewiring your brain and thoughts, and letting go of perfectionist fantasies around New Year's resolutions.
Kara Loewentheil, J.D., is a Master Certified Coach, Host of the top-rated podcast UnF*ck Your Brain, and creator of The Clutch: A feminist mindset revolution. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she did what every Ivy League feminist lawyer should do: Quit a prestigious academic career to become a life coach! Her Jewish parents have almost recovered; the fact that she built her business from zero to seven figures in three years didn't hurt. Five years after leaving the law she has taught thousands of women how to identify the ways that sexist socialization impacts their brains, and how to literally rewire their thought patterns to create true authentic confidence from within.
Her podcast, UnF*ck Your Brain, which combines evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and feminist theory in concrete and practical teachings and tools, has more than 12 million downloads. In 2019 she launched The Clutch, a feminist coaching community aimed at spreading the feminist mindset revolution across the globe. Since then thousands of women have joined and learned how to overcome insecurity, anxiety, imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, and their dependence on external validation. Kara specializes in teaching a step-by-step system that identifies and removes internalized oppression and creates new and unshakeable self-confidence.

Wellness without obsession is our philosophy here at the Nourishing Women Podcast, and we have yet to have an episode dedicated to the concept!
I thought today was the perfect day to share what the philosophy means because we just launched our wellness without obsession shop, which I’ll share about later in this episode.
In this episode we will discuss why being food & wellness obsessed is holding you back, what defines wellness without obsession, and the key main messages of this philosophy and examples of a wellness lover vs a wellness obsessor.
My team and I are so excited to share that we have launched a Wellness Without Obsession Shop. We are taking the work we do in our practice, and creating programs and online courses so we can help more people in our areas of expertise. In this shop, you’ll find Permission Stage Playbook and the Body Image Reset, as well as courses that are coming in 2021 such as the Digestive Freedom Foundations and the Period Playbook, and even physical products and membership site!

My personal work is with orthorexia, and as a result we see a ton of HA clients and use No Period Now What as a recommendation for our clients to read while we work together. I find people with orthorexia can use this scientific understanding of what’s going on in their bodies to focus on recovery. A lot of my work is focused on how exactly to eat more and exercise less, which sounds simple but is incredibly complex. But for today’s episode I really want to dive into the bodily processes and science behind what is happening in your body when your period is missing, which is why I asked the main author of this incredible resource, Dr. Nicola Rinaldi to come on the show today.
Nico has a PhD in computational biology from MIT. After graduating she worked for a biotechnology company while pursuing her dreams of a family, which were thwarted by a diagnosis of hypothalamic amenorrhea (no periods). Eighteen months of trying to conceive followed. She spent hours on research, using the knowledge gained to work on recovery. Concurrently, she tried the medical route to pregnancy, with multiple doctor visits, injections, and ultrasounds resulting only in failure. Ultimately, she was able to achieve a natural pregnancy. Since that time, Nicola has shared her knowledge of the path to recovery, helping hundreds of others achieve their dreams of womanhood and pregnancy. She has spent the last three years as a stay-at-home mom, with her three boys, Antony, Timmy, and Cameron, while writing this comprehensive guide to recovery.
In this episode we discuss:
- What inspired Nico to dedicate so much of her career to HA and then writing the book, No Period, Now What.
- What exactly is HA and what’s going on in your body, from your hypothalamus, to how this impacts hormones and even how nerve cells are all involved, when you lose your period
- Exploring if body fat has to be low to lose your period
- PCOS vs HA, the similarities and differences and how to ensure you get an accurate diagnosis and treatment based off diagnosis
- Recommendations on exercise breaks vs reducing exercise to get your period back
- How Nico practices wellness without obsession
Learn more about Dr. Nicola Rinaldi:

Healthy body image isn't about focusing on what your body looks like...or even trying necessarily to change that. Sure, it could be a byproduct of this work for some people. But for many of you, that may not even be a goal. And believe it or not, that's okay!
As you’ll learn in this episode, healthy body image is less about your looks and more about practicing body respect.
It's learning how to treat your body well, even on your bad body image days. It's understanding that we cannot let our negative self talk dictate every action we take on a daily basis. And it's learning how to shift that language internally instead tp curiosity and kindness.
Are you struggling to figure this out? If so, the Body Image Reset is your resource for how to begin your journey to build better body image, starting today.
Inside the Body Image Reset you'll receive:
- The Body Image Reset e-book and workbook, walking you through mindset shifts, dialogue practice and actions to take to build better body image.
- 5 Lessons on how to let go of the desire to change your body. Lessons detail through why you need to let go, health at every size, set point theory, how to practice body respect and how diet culture influences our perception of body image.
- Bonus videos, handouts and worksheets to help you implement the recommendations inside the reset.
Now is the time to purchase, the Body Image Reset will increase in price after Wednesday December 2nd.

In today’s episode I am reposting one of our favorite Tuesday podcast episodes all about honoring your hunger and fullness. One of the most common complaints I hear from my listeners, online course students and clients is annoyance with your hunger and your body’s cues to eat. I want to encourage you to begin questioning why you feel that way.
Why is it that we find a body’s signal to us annoying? Desire to question it? Or straight up don’t listen to it? Diet culture is the culprit!
Honoring hunger isn’t “giving in”, it’s body respect! It’s self care! It’s listening to your body and one of the first steps to that mind body connection.
In this episode, we will review the hunger and fullness scale and primal hunger to build that mind body knowledge for intuitive eating.
Because it’s so important to listen to your body’s cues! When primal hunger sets in, this is our body’s survival mechanisms taking over. While it can be frustrating to not feel well, remember this is your body loving and protecting you. This is not a loss of willpower, its biology.
We want to avoid getting to the point of primal hunger if we can, because it doesn’t make you feel good physically and mentally and can often lead to what feels like over eating and binge eating. In this episode I’ll also review with you avoiding common pitfalls with intuitive eating, including turning the hunger fullness scale into a diet.

Today we are so excited to have the CEO of Health-Ade Kombucha, our favorite kombucha company, on the show! Daina Trout co-founded Health-Ade Kombucha in 2012 alongside her husband, Justin Trout, and best friend, Vanessa Dew. Since the beginning, the trio has been committed to brewing the best tasting and highest quality kombucha on the market. Trout first learned how to brew kombucha during her tenure at Tufts University, where she earned Masters’ degrees both in Nutrition and Public Health after receiving her BS from Georgetown University.
During that time, she also developed her personal philosophy that health is less about science, and more abou what makes you feel good and happy. After graduation, Trout moved to Los Angeles to accept a position working in pharmaceuticals but continued to cultivate an interest in holistic and “real” food that fuels a hard-working lifestyle. Trout funneled this energy into an entrepreneurship club she formed with Justin and Vanessa to explore ways they could combine their diverse backgrounds into a successful business venture; the result, Health-Ade Kombucha.
Over the course of the last seven years, Trout has nurtured what started as a small production and niche product into what has become a national brand that is sold at 30,000 grocery stores and health food markets nationwide, including major retailers like Target, Whole Foods and Costco. Today, Health-Ade is currently the fastest growing brand in its category for three years in a row and is projected to significantly expand its business nationwide each year under her leadership as CEO.
In this episode we discuss:
- How Daina, her husband and best friend started Heath-Ade Kombucha
- What exactly kombucha is and how it is made
- What are the benefits of fermented foods like kombucha
- What makes Health-Ade kombucha different from others on the market and why it’s taking over the grocery stores
- What Dana believes is the #1 skill or characteristic that has supported her to be a successful entrepreneur
- How Dana practice wellness without obsession

Today’s episode is an important conversation that NEEDS to be in podcast form. I’ve touched on thin privilege on Instagram posts and with guests on the show, but I wanted an entire episode dedicated to the subject.
Here’s what I want you to understand about thin privilege: Your body image struggles are real no matter your size. Your experience and struggles are real and valid. But we have to be willing to look at our privileges in all situations, body image and how this impacts our relationship with food, included.
There are three types of fat phobia, that I’ve learned from Virgie Tovar (click here to listen to her episode on the podcast). A person in a thin body can experience INTRApersonal struggles as we all fear becoming fat in our society that tells us it's the worst thing in the world to happen to our bodies. But a thin body won’t experience interpersonal and institutionalized fat phobia. This helps explain thin privilege in a meaningful way- that yes, your experiences are real, but these are two major areas you likely will never experience or understand if you live in a thin body.
I used to promote myself as the “body positive dietitian” and I now realize how much of a mistake on wording that was. That was taking a movement that wasn’t created for me. And honestly ignorance on my part thinking me as a size 10 was not accepted. I hope this episode helps you see that your experiences are real and true and you are not alone in not accepting your body. Yet, as with any privilege we hold, it’s not your fault or something you should feel guilty about. It’s about recognizing that there’s some experiences we may never be able to understand.

Wellness can exist without obsession, and we love that she shares this belief that is the foundation of everything we do here at Nourishing Women Podcast!

I know you, my friend. I know you love all things health, wellness and nutrition. But the real truth? You obsess over it. Fear it. And deprive yourself of true enjoyment. You’re here, listening to the show because you are ready for change. In today’s episode, I invite you to reflect and identify your personal reasons you fear making peace with food.
My hope and goal is by identifying your personal barriers or what scares you, you can determine if that’s value based or not for you to continue having an unhealthy relationship with food.
So many of these barriers come from this belief you have to be hypervigilant with your health in order to have health. But is this true, or is this diet culture influenced? In this episode, I share examples of black and white thinking around health versus a gray area perspective that we so deeply believe in here on my show and in my business.
If you’re ready to confidently become an intuitive eater and embrace wellness without obsession, I would love to invite you to become a student of Permission Stage Playbook. (P.S. Use the code NOURISH for $20 off your order!)

- You are so over switching from one diet and clean eating plan to the next
- You desire clarity & confidence about the step by step process to walk through the permission stage of intuitive eating
- You're ready to embrace intuitive eating in your life, so you can practice wellness without obsession
- You want to make peace with your food choices and your body
Permission Stage Playbook is an online course + VIP coaching experience that will give you the step by step education, guidance and support to confidently become an intuitive eater.

I recently shared a post on perfectionism and the unhealthy obsession with eating healthy and it resonated with SO many of you, so I wanted to share more in depth in today’s episode.
In the post I shared, that I’m not sure I’ve ever worked with a client that’s had orthorexia and didn’t also seriously struggle with perfectionism, people pleasing and fear of lack of control.
I also know this too deeply from my own personal experience. My desire to be the “perfect” dietitian made me attempt to perfect my eating habits more and more until I got to a point where everything I ate made me anxious. When you dive into the clean eating world you can almost always find something “wrong” with what you’re eating.
I share this because perfectionism is at the root of why your desires to live a healthy lifestyle have become obsessive and dogmatic, reaching the point of disordered behaviors. I also share because the same issue that gets us in to this mess, it also what tends to prevent us from seeking healing and/or asking for help to recover.
If you too struggle with the desire to be perfect and perfect your eating habits (the breeding ground of orthorexia) I want you to know that part of this process, the healing part, is going to BE MESSY.
It’s A OKAY if for a period of time your eating habits look far from what you think is “healthy” to give yourself the time and space to heal and loosen the grips of your unhealthy obsession with eating healthy.
Your body is resilient. I promise it can handle if you don’t eat what you think is enough veggies (or sub in whatever food you’re fearful of NOT consuming) for a period of time.
As I shared in my post, The messy parts are where are the magic happens. So if you end of eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead of kale salads with every trendy superfood possible, I promise you’ll be okay. I promise you can trust your body. I promise the messy parts lead to your goals of food freedom and flexibility.
In today’s podcast episode I share why it’s critical to work through perfectionism, how it shows up not only in our healing journeys but also in the health and wellness world, and how to work towards imperfect actions. Remember, self love can also come with self awareness, and these imperfect actions are how you’ll move towards that gray area of health and wellness.
Are you ready to move on from food and wellness obsession and instead towards food flexibility, food freedom and intuitive eating? Then my free workshop, the Food Obsession to Food Flexibility Workshop, was created just for you!
The Food Obsession to Food Flexibility Workshop will be held THIS week with three dates available to sign up: Thursday, October 15th at 12:30pm and 6:30pm and Saturday, October 17th at 10am EST.
Use the code NOURISH for 10% off your first Primally Pure order, get your dry skin products ready for the winter! I’m personally obsessed right now with the body brush, body butter and beauty cream.

Today on the podcast I have guest and fellow anti-diet dietitian, Shana Spence, on the show. Shana labels herself as an "eat anything" dietitian. Shana believes since life is already complicated, why restrict yourself? She created a wonderful platform on Instagram to allow for an open discussion on all things health and nutrition, and also provides virtual counseling worldwide.
In this episode we discuss:
- Shana’s journey going back to school to become a dietitian and how she became an anti-diet dietitian
- What does an eat everything and all foods fit mentality mean
- How allowing all foods into your eating world (sans medical or ethical needs) allows for foods to become emotionally equivalent
- Shana’s tips to removing the internal dialogue that tells you that you are “good” or “bad” for how you eat
- How to deal with negative feedback on Instagram and how to build a community on Instagram
- How Shana practices wellness without obsession
Learn more about Shana on her website and Instagram.

I’ve been thinking about how I can support you with the final months left in 2020. I know SO many people feel as if 2020 has been a wash, and that nothing good has come out of it. But the eternal optimist in me wants to challenge that. Or maybe instead invite you to consider a different ending to 2020.
The vast majority of you that are here, tuning in every week to listen to the show, are here because you’re trying to understand how your clean eating program and lifestyles have manifested into strict rules, obsession and stress and anxiety.
You’re trying to learn how you got so food obsessed, and how to move instead towards food freedom and food flexibility. But what does that even mean? And how do you achieve that?
You’ve realized either recently that you may have a disordered relationship with food, or maybe you’ve known for a while, but you’ve been going at this healing journey alone and as a result- confused, conflicted, overwhelmed and unsure of what intuitive eating actually looks like.
Is it really just listening to your body? How do you do that without rules, timing your eating, controlling what’s allowed and not allowed? If you give yourself unconditional permission to eat, will you just forever gain weight? Will you only eat pizza and ice cream for the rest of your life?
I LOVE that you have these type of questions and concerns and I want you to have a safe space to learn the answers to these questions and really get clarity about what it means to practice food flexibility, what intuitive eating will allow for in your life and how to find that gray area of health and wellness, letting go of the extremes so you can practice our philosophy of wellness, without obsession.
So I’m hosting a totally FREE workshop, called the Food Obsession to Food Flexibility Workshop in order to do just that.
The purpose of this workshop is to help you:
- Understand signs and symptoms you may be too obsessed with clean eating and having the perfect healthy lifestyle
- Walk you through how this impacts your life and how you’re showing up in the world
- Help you move from food obsession to food flexibility (so you can have freedom in food and in all areas of life!)
- Receive clarity of what a healthy relationship with food, exercise, health and wellness looks like
- How to move towards this less extreme version of health, where health enhances your quality of life, not IS your life
- Learn why intuitive eating is the foundation of our wellness without obsession philosophy
- Remove all the confusion and overwhelm about intuitive eating, that way you can confidently become an intuitive eater

This episode is quite different from my usual episodes! What started off as a quest to understand insight into the diet recommendations of the health and wellness world, and an episode that was going to explain why “lifestyles” are definitely diets in disguise, turned into an episode of me sharing my honest, real thoughts on why I’m so angry and upset at the messages of “lifestyles” to follow.
While the internet and social media have added such value into our lives, it also means anyone can sell their messages to you. From influencers, to health coaches, dietitians and doctors...it seems these days everyone has their own “plan” for you to follow for you to feel your best, i.e. lose weight.
It’s frustrating, because this is the very reason orthorexia has skyrocketed over the past ten years. I share in this episode how perfectionists can go from “lifestyle” plan to orthorexia, and how it’s not your fault and you are not to blame.
I share the common thread each of these “lifestyles” have in common, so you can be aware of the messages as you intake them. Overall, I want you to leave off this episode better understanding that these lifestyles have co-opted intuitive eating language and are definitely diets, and how this can lead turn into disordered eating, eating disorders and orthroexia.

I couldn’t be more excited about today's podcast episode! Today on the show I have one of the amazing dietitians at my virtual private practice, Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Kelsey Pukala back on the show. Kelsey is an incredible non-diet dietitian and I am so honored to have her (and Megan, our other dietitian who will be on the show next week!) as part of our team supporting you in your goals with intuitive eating and wellness without obsession.
Kelsey is so great at breaking down complex conversations into an easy to understand way, so I asked Kelsey on the show to discuss how the thyroid is impacted with eating disorders and disordered eating.
In this episode we discuss:
- Kelsey gives an update of what she has been up to lately
- What exactly is the thyroid and what it does in the body
- What a healthy functioning thyroid looks like
- How eating disorders and disordered eating disrupts the thyroid and how this impacts other hormones in the body
- Signs and symptoms that something may be wrong with your thyroid
- What kind of lab tests should be ordered and what indicates altered lab values for your thyroid
- What healing your thryoid looks like in application
- How Kelsey practices wellness without obsession
Kelsey’s past episodes on the podcast:
- Episode 100: Disordered eating as a root cause to digestive issues
- Episode 113: What happens to your body when you lose your period
- Intuitive eating during the holidays
Lab work to order if you are concerned about your thyroid, we recommend not only looking at TSH but also T3, T4, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies. This is considered a full thyroid panel. While optimal ranges of TSH are technically anywhere from 1-4, a woman in their fertile years should usually have a TSH range of 1-2.

I’m going to start this episode off with a rant of how bad diet culture is right now. I live in my non-diet bubble so much that sometimes I forget HOW BAD it is out there. I’m continuing to realize how prevalent diet culture is and how much we need to keep spreading our message. And I get that intuitive eating sounds like a different world. And that’s because it is. It’s about behavior change and self care actions instead of specific actions of weight loss. It’s a world that doesn’t exist in extremes and rules and that is HARD for us because that’s what we expect these days of diets.
But it wasn’t always this way. We once had a world where we didn’t view foods as something to feel guilty about or induce shame. Once upon a time, mind body knowledge around food WAS the norm because we didn’t have an internalized diet mentality impacting it.
And today I want to dig into the mind body knowledge part of intuitive eating as I know this can be one of the harder parts to figure out. But the Mind body knowledge is one of my favorite parts of intuitive eating. It opens the door to so much with your eating, and just how you live your life.
So what exactly is the mind body connection? The mind body connection in its most basic definition is that your mind and body are connected, and affected by each other. Our mental state can affect how we hold tension in the body, the trauma response of the body and the pain our bodies experience.
And at the same time, our body can communicate to our minds its needs like when we are feeling anxious (think palms sweating or tightness in the throat), when we need to pee, when we are hungry, when we need to sleep or when we feel happy.
In this episode we discuss:
- Ways to build mind body knowledge
- What you can use the mind body knowledge for with eating and in life
- How this pertains to the IE principle, discover the satisfaction factor
- How satisfaction and pleasure with food is enhanced with mind body knowledge
- Allowing for pleasure in all areas of your life, how this leads to purpose
- Reflective questions to leave off this episode asking yourself

It’s been a long time since we last had a podcast episode on intermittent fasting and I thought it was due time to an update, review of the research and to have an honest conversation with you about your need for rules.
It’s common and totally okay to have questions about what is intuitive eating aligned and what is not when it comes to health trends, and even nutrition research. Because intuitive eating isn’t anti-health or even anti-nutrition, and...ALSO...Ultimately, this is your body,and your choice, so if you decide intermittent fasting is for you then it’s your choice to make, but I’m hoping I can give you another perspective on this super popular trend.
Let’s first describe what is intermittent fasting. Intermittent Fasting (IF) is a diet regimen that cycles between brief periods of fasting, with either no food or significant calorie reduction, and periods of unrestricted eating.”
In the episode we discuss:
- What is intermittent fasting and the different types of IF
- The reported benefits of intermittent fasting
- Considerations when reviewing the research on IF
- Potential cons to practicing IF (side effects)
- The weight centric and diet focus of the proponents of IF
- Why IF is inappropriate if you struggle with your relationship with food
- Why we don’t recommend IF for our clients at Nourishing Minds Nutrition
More insight into intermittent fasting:

Trigger warning- this episode will share specific calorie numbers, if this is triggering for you please follow your gut and not listen to this episode.
This podcast episode was inspired by the response I saw to the “1200 calories a day is the amount a 2 year old needs daily” post I shared recently on Instagram, and even Jillian Micheals recent “take on intuitive eating”.
Plus, it’s the day after labor day and I have a feeling someone listening is thinking it’s time to get back on the “wagon” and start your new diet today, and I’m hoping I can talk you out of it.
I’m so tired of the calories game. From eliminating carbs, to intermittent fasting to straight up calorie counting and Noom...let’s be real these are all just ways to decrease our caloric intake. I think it’s so interesting that the amount a 2 year old needs daily we think and believe is enough to sustain a grown ass adult.
So many of the comments were making statements like “we aren’t growing anymore” and “I’m sedentary” and “if I eat more than this I’ll gain weight”.
There is truth that you may gain weight eating more, but it’s not because you need only that amount to survive, it’s because you’ve taught your body to live in survival mode, slowing down your metabolism in order to navigate the semi-starvation state it is in.
Listen to today’s episode to learn why the recommendations for caloric deficit ranges of 1,200-1,600 calories a day is bullshit, why you deserve better nutrition advice and how much calories is enough for you to come daily.

Holy SHIT this episode is SO good. If you are a woman learning how to do uncomfortable things, this episode is for you.

This episode is inspired by a graphic we shared from the woman’s dietitian, so I wanted to shout out Cory for inspiring this episode. I also wanted to record this episode because it seems to be a taboo subject, where we all NEED to know what to do, but it’s so rarely touched upon! Back in the day, women were told their vaginas were dirty and needed to be cleaned and smell good to keep their husbands happy, talk about a sexist message.
I’ll also say that it’s almost funny to me that I’m recording this episode, because until a few years back I knew nothing about vaginal care. Since we help clients get their periods back from disordered eating and orthorexia, I started getting more and more questions about vaginal care and here we ARE.
My main thing I want you to walk away from this episode knowing is that your vagina is a self cleaning organ, so the inside (your actual vagina) does not need to be cleaned. Listen to today's episode to learn more about vaginal care!
In this episode we discuss:
- How to clean your vulva
- How to clean your vagina
- Avoiding fragrance and scent with your vagina and vulva
- Protecting your vaginal microbiome
- Products to use in your vulva and vagina
- What is normal with your discharge

Welcome to round 2 of a day in the life of….me! You loved the first episode I did on “A Day in the Life of an Intuitive Eater & Wellness Lover” (click here to listen) I thought it would be fun to do another episode of a day in the life.
The purpose of this episode is to help you get to know me a bit better, see the behind the scenes of not only intuitive eating and wellness without obsession, but also to see the behind the scenes of my life as a business owner, CEO and momma.
I hope you get inspiration and an idea of what intuitive eating looks like an actual everyday application. Of course there were things I forgot to mention that I did, like my daily supplement routine, my kombucha obsession and how I usually have an evening snack, but overall I think this episode did a great job of showcasing what a typical day looks like for me! I hope you enjoy the episode.

Today we are going to chat why clean eating is a diet in disguise. If you attended the why diets don’t work workshop this will be a review, but i wanted to turn parts of the workshop into a podcast episode because this information was too good not to share here!
I wanted to started by saying that I find most people don’t think they are dieting, but indeed they are...which is the purpose of the episode. I think the best place to start this is by defining dieting. Because it’s hard to truly understand what is dieting.
Why is that? Well, the diet industry has changed over the years. Sure, there’s the diets we all know are diets: South Beach Diet, Atkins Diet, counting calories. But what’s so confusing is that much of the dieting messages are all about “lifestyles” and “way of eating you can stick to for life.”
Diets haven’t disappeared though...they’ve rebranded to sound less like a diet and more like a lifestyle...this is clean eating messages of the health and wellness world. The sneaky version of diets these days. The kind of lifestyles that are about elevating yourself above others, a better than mentality for how clean you eat...and ultimately? A message that boils down to lose weight or look like me to have perfect health.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What exactly is dieting and 3 my identifiers of diet culture
- The science behind why diets don’t work
- Survival adaptations of the body when we diet and eat clean
- Inflammation response and weight cycling response when we diet harder and eat cleaner and cleaner
- Calling a truce with intuitive eating
- What exactly is intuitive eating (and what it is not)
- Use the code NOURISH for 10% off your Primally Pure order for the entire month of August.

I’ve been shifting more of my body image content lately to help you focus first on body respect. Because before anything else, you need to respect yourself and your body, first.
When you immerse yourself in the intuitive eating/non-diet world it can be common to feel as if you need to immediately love your body and feel positive about it at all times. And then you feel shame if that’s not your reality.
But we live in a world where thinness is idolized, so it makes sense that it's not as easy as it seems. It’s also way less about saying “I love my body” and more about how you treat it.
I hope you walk away from this episode knowing that body love doesn’t even have to be the end goal. But if it is for you, it may be challenging due to cultural conditioning and fat phobia. Be compassionate and patient with yourself as you learn this new skill!
Positive body image is less about what your body looks like, and more about developing self esteem and self worth that is not dependent on what your body looks like, and more about body respect, meaning you treat your body with respect no matter what it looks like.
Because you don’t have to love your body to respect it! And you don’t have to constantly micromanage your body to take care of it. You can learn to trust your body, and come home to your body. You can take care of yourself, because you deserve to, no matter the size or shape of your body or health status.
Listen to today’s episode to learn more and walk away with my 5 tips to practice body respect starting today and everyday going forward.

This month, the podcast will hit our three year anniversary. And for THREE YEARS now share my adoration for intuitive eating...and it all started from a realization years ago, that diets don’t work. I saw it in my personal life after a 10 year battle of on and off again diets and developing orthorexia as a result. I saw it in my clients. In my friends and family members and co-workers. I saw it in the research, too. And a shift as a wave of dietitians decided to so loudly claim that diets don’t work that a large sector of the RD population now, myself included, call ourselves non-diet or anti-diet dietitians to dissociate ourselves from dieting.
Why? Because...Diets don’t work. And I want to dive into this deeper with you, which is why I’m hosting my next free workshop, called Why Diets Don’t Work (and What to Do Instead).
And yes...your clean eating regimen counts as a diet and you’ll learn why that is in the workshop.
This workshop is for you IF:
- You’ve been on and off diets, clean eating plans and you’re starting to question if your habits are truly healthy
-
You’re heard me share about intuitive eating, but you’re confused about how to apply Intuitive Eating to your life
-
You're frustrated that when you’ve previously tried to give yourself unconditional permission you ate everything in sight
- Or maybe you’re embarrassed that everytime you try to give yourself unconditional permission you end up spiraling even deeper into another diet or restrictive eating because the lack of control scares you deeply
-
You’re fed up with the hamster wheel of always dieting and losing weight and you are overrrr it and trying to figure out next steps to take
-
You’re inundated with all health and wellness information, you want to learn to trust your body and be your own guru.
-
- What does it mean to “listen to your body”
- You know every fact there is to know about all nutrition, health and wellness, so much so that it’s hard now to listen to your body
The workshop will cover the science of why diets don’t work, what to do instead and understanding what exactly intuitive eating is (and is not). I’ll help you understand the physical and mental health benefits of intuitive eating and why it builds sustainable, long term health habits that stick. Because i know you want to know, if you are going to stop dieting- you need to know what you’ll be doing instead.
Plus, I’ll review with you the 4 P’s of the permission stage of intuitive eating. That way you can from food obsession to food flexibility. So you can make peace with not only food, but with your body and finally stop micromanaging it. That way you can learn to practice wellness without obsession. And so that this year, even amongst the craziness that is 2020, you reach your goals and become an intuitive eater. Once and for all. Because one of the many amazing things about intuitive eating? You’ll never have to diet again. How cool is that?
And, if you are interested in joining my online course, Permission Stage Playbook, you’ll see if you’re a good fit for the program &I’ll be sharing a special offer only workshop attendees will receive.
I’m hosting three available workshop times:
Wednesday August 12th at 11am EST
Thursday August 13th at 6:30pm EST
Saturday August 15th at 10am EST

Looking forward to meeting you in the workshop next week!
Let’s begin this episode with a reflection on your thoughts and beliefs surrounding carbohydrates (carbs). Have you ever sat down with your journal, and thought about which foods you specifically fear and why? Are there specific foods you limit, restrict or fear consuming? What about food groups? Write down anything you may fear, even if you believe it’s coming from a “good place” like in the name of health you are fearful of (fill in the blank) food.
Did you notice any common themes around what specific foods you’ve written down?
After years of doing this work in a one on one setting and now in online courses, I’ve noticed a theme, almost always, the #1 food fear is carbs. And really in all forms, complex carbohydrates like pasta and bread and potatoes and simple carbohydrates like sugar in the form of fruits and desserts. We believe so deeply that some foods are bad and some foods are good. And right now, in today’s world, the “worst” food for us is CARBS.
Starting in the 1970’s through the 1990’s and early 2000’s, fat was the primary culprit of shame around food. Now that has shifted to a focus on villainizing carbohydrates. By using flawed research and fear mongering techniques, diet culture has made believe that if we avoid carbs at all cost, our fears won’t turn into reality.
We could talk all day about the specific messages that are touted to make us believe carbs are the enemy...but I find if you keep asking yourself why, the fear and belief we have around eating carbs is almost always coming from a desire to lose weight, or to avoid weight gain. So weight is the ultimate root cause of our fear surrounding carbs.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why fear of weight gain is not a reason to not eat a particular food
- Common thread between the diets and “clean eating” programs of today
- Gray area view of the argument around carbs and sugar
- Why shaming carbs isn’t good for our health and doesn’t help us eat the amount right for our bodies
- Why shaming foods, like carbs, causes the last supper mentality and the restrict-binge seesaw
- The importance of making foods emotionally equivalent to allow for mind body knowledge and the habituation response
- Coping with the permission stage of intuitive eating
- Why carbohydrates are amazing and the role they play in the body
- Questions to reflect and journal on to analyze your relationship around carbs
- Stay tuned for an extra special bonus episode tomorrow!

I am thrilled to have Candace Molatore on the podcast today. I have followed Candace on Instagram for quite awhile now, and I have to say I’m obsessed! She is beautiful, with impeccable style, but more importantly- her words and writing speak to me so much. She’s like that calm, nurturing and honest friend that you cling on to every word she says to learn and do better as a person yourself.
Candace Molatore is a Self-Love Advocate, Branding Consultant and Photographer based in Portland, OR. With a passion for building community, Candace uses her photography and writing skills to broadcast the message of self confidence, body positivity and inclusivity online. She shares her interests, inspiration, tips and everyday life with her audience regularly through social media. With a modest but strong following behind her, Candace continues to spread the message of inclusivity and self-love with high-quality visuals, a strong work ethic and a mission to make everyone feel empowered in their own skin.
Today’s podcast sponsor is super special. When I approached Candace to come on the show, I mentioned a charity donation to support a cause that was important to Candace to say thank you for her time coming on the show. Candace also met my donation, and suggested that I share about the charity as the sponsor of the episode, and I thought it was such a brilliant suggestion!
So, today I am honored to tell you about the Jim Collins Foundation.
The mission of the Jim Collins Foundation is to provide financial assistance to transgender people for gender-affirming surgeries. The Jim Collins Foundation recognizes that not every transgender person needs or wants surgery to achieve a healthy transition. But for those who do, gender-affirming surgeries are an important step in their transition to being their true selves. However, access to gender-affirming surgery is impossible for most. Discrimination against transgender people is so prevalent that many transgender people struggle to survive, never mind save for surgery costs. Even for those who have health insurance, coverage is systematically denied. Many insurance policies contain a “Transsexual Exclusion Clause” which excludes all medical procedures related to a person’s transgender status. For many transgender people, access to surgery is out of reach.
The Jim Collins Foundation raises money to fund gender-affirming surgeries for those transgender people who need surgery to live a healthy life, but have no ability to pay for it themselves. We recognize that for those people who require surgery for a healthy gender transition, lack of access to surgery may result in hopelessness, depression, and sometimes, suicide. The Jim Collins Foundation is a community-based initiative promoting the self-determination and empowerment of all transgender people.

In this episode we discuss:
- Candace shares her story and life’s journey leading her to the work she does today as a self love advocate, branding consultant and photographer
- What impacted Candace in the past with lack of self love and her tips for how she changed the narrative internally of her own self worth
- The origins of the body positive movement and how to respect its origins

Spoiler alert: This episode is NOT going to be what you think it is. Because the truth is, if you see ANYONE telling you that you can intentionally lose weight and practice intuitive eating, run far, far away.
Today’s episode is to briefly share what can happen to your weight as you enter into intuitive eating, but the main purpose of this episode is to walk you through the many emotions involved with the desire to change our bodies and lose weight. Let’s start by sharing WHY any information that tells you you can intentionally lose weight is NOT intuitive eating and health at every size aligned.
The very first principle of intuitive eating is to reject the diet mentality. As you read this chapter in the intuitive eating book or workbook, or work through online courses or one on one support to learn this principle, you’ll learn this about the diet mentality:
“If you allow even one small hope to linger that a new and better diet might be lurking around the corner, it will prevent you from being free to rediscover Intuitive Eating.”
If someone is telling you to intentionally to lose weight and still eat intuitively, or this is your own personal intention, you won’t be able to tap fully into intuitive eating.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why intentional dieting and weight loss efforts prevent you from tapping into your intuitive eating capability
- What will happen to your weight as you stop dieting
- Set point theory and weight cycling science
- My own experience with set point and weight cycling
- Why the possibility of weight gain ignites such deep fear in us
- How to move past the fear and anxiety of potential weight gain
- Grappling with letting go of the desire to lose weight
- The real reasons why we desire weight loss and body changes
- The freedom and possibilities of what you will experience as an intuitive eater

I have a feeling you’ve seen the Instagram graphics stating the ridiculous-ness that is the BMI scale. And I agree, it’s bogus. And today’s episode I’m going to help you understand why that is.
The best place to start is who came up with the BMI scale. The BMI scale was created by a mathematician, astronomer and statistician, Adophle Quetelet, in 1832 to measure weights across a given population, never designed to measure an individual’s health or size. That's almost 200 YEARS AGO since the BMI scale was created! The BMI equation is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
I learned in Fearing the Black Body, that Ancel Keys- the same Keys that created the fear mongering messages surrounding saturated fat that you’ve heard me mention before, is the same doctor who then took this scale, first called the Quetelet scale, renaming it to the BMI (Body-Mass-Index) scale. Keys even agreed that it was less than ideal scale, but “worked” nonetheless.
It’s also important to know the BMI scale was created by Quetelet based on measurements on white European men.
This is problematic in SO many ways. We know women have a different amount of body fat than men. And we know that different races and cultures have different body sizes, that the BMI scale in no way accounts for. But let’s dig in deeper...
In this episode we discuss:
- The white supremacy origins of the BMI scale
- How white people have been “controlling” their eating and fat for hundreds of years as a means of justifying slavery
- The problems with the CDC graphs that have been used to show the “obvious” obesity epidemic
- How profit and politics have been involved with the BMI scale and the changing categories
- Why weight does not equal health
- Addressing true health through healthy behaviors
- Avoiding stigmatizing and worsening health through weight bias, explaining how correlation does not equal causation
- What is weight cycling and why dieting only makes everything worse
- The BMI scales inability to account for muscle mass
- Quotes from the book, Health at Every Size
- Reflections and final thoughts for you, how to move forward

This episode begins by sharing a few updates, including a continuation of our conversation on anti-racism work, to encourage you to continue as well. In this episode I share how I am learning the differences between body liberation, the body positive movement and health at every size. Here at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, we will do a better job of showcasing those differences, and giving credit to those the movements were created for, Black marginalized bodies.
Today on the podcast I have Erin Bahadur on the show. I love following and learning from Erin, she is real, honest and kind- and has the CUTEST baby, too! I also love her focus on mental health, and we discuss this at length in today’s episode.

The question of today’s podcast episode is...can you eat organic and practice intuitive eating? This episode may need a part two to explain more about what was discussed and get in more detail about the reasons to eat organic for your health, the health of our community and the health of the planet- but think of this as a starter conversation, making sure first you’re in a healthy place with your external health values, like eating organic, and making decisions that are aligning within the final principle of intuitive eating, called honor your health with gentle nutrition.
While you are going to hear me share my personal views on why I eat organic in this episode, I believe it is so important to think critically and think for yourself when it comes to anything in the health and wellness world. I would even take it a step further to say I believe those who are against eating organic make valid and important arguments. I believe those messages, from fellow non-diet dietitians, are important to understand and listen to: it can definitely be tricky to say it's okay to recommend or personally eat organic in a world that would make us believe we are morally superior for doing so.
But, that’s not my special sauce. My special sauce has always been helping you find the gray area with health and wellness. Helping you see that wellness has SO many tools in the toolbox, you can pick and choose what you’d like. I hope you leave this episode knowing that it’s okay to never eat organic and to eat organic, both are okay- you choose what is best for you.
I also wanted to share- that it is my hope that you and I can personally challenge others in the health and wellness space, including proponents of the organic movement, to better understand what is diet culture and remove it from their language and how they share their message. I’ve always said “diet culture infused health and wellness world” because I do believe it's possible to create a non-diet centric health and wellness world.
So to answer the question of the episode the answer is: yes...but with explanation necessary. In this episode we discuss:
- How to apply the final principle of intuitive eating where authentic health meets inner attunement and external health values
- The importance of being non-obsessive and avoid extreme and absolute thinking with health habits, including eating organic
- Privilege that comes along with the ability to eat organic
- My personal reasons for eating organic including improving the health of our lands, farms and soils, biodiversity, and the health of the workers
- Flaws with organic labeling, choosing local and seasonal in your area first and foremost
- Resources discussed in this episode: the Intuitive Eating workbook, Meg Faletra’s website, Meg’s blog post on reasons to eat organic

I’ve always believed yoga is such a wonderful compliment to intuitive eating, and often recommend it to clients who are having a hard time exploring the mind body knowledge part of intuitive eating.
Knowing that Kara is an expert in both areas, yoga and intuitive eating, I asked her to come on the show to discuss how they compliment each other.
Kara Lydon, RD, LDN, RYT, is a nationally recognized and award-winning registered dietitian nutritionist, certified intuitive eating counselor, yoga teacher and the owner of Kara Lydon Nutrition. Kara believes that the key to authentic health and wellbeing is to celebrate food and our bodies, a positive philosophy that she actively practices and instills through the kitchen, yoga studio, working one-on-one with clients, on her food and healthy living blog, The Foodie Dietitian, and in her e-book, Nourish Your Namaste: How Nutrition and Yoga Can Support Digestion, Immunity, Energy and Relaxation. Her blog features delicious, nourishing seasonal recipes and simple strategies for a well-nourished life, and has been featured in countless national online publications.
In this episode we discuss:
- Kara’s origin story of becoming a non-diet dietitian and running a blog and private practice
- Kara’s journey to discovering and falling in love with yoga
- What exactly yoga is (and how it’s so much more than movement)
- Kara’s thoughts on how yoga can specifically support the intuitive eating journey
- The health benefits of yoga and how it can support immunity, digestion, energy and relaxation
- The differences between yin yoga and restorative yoga
- The 8 limbs of yoga and how movement, or asana, is only one of those

Today’s podcast I am going to share my thoughts on a common hormonal trend called seed cycling.
While food (meaning eating ENOUGH), reducing exercise, managing stress and sleeping enough are the primary factors we look for to help our clients get their periods back, and get them consistent, there can be a time and place for gentle nutrition approaches. This includes supplementation, acupuncture and other additions such as seed cycling!
Seed cycling works by helping support women with the nutrients their bodies need at specific phases of their cycle.
Seed cycling can be used to help with conditions such as amenorrhea, when getting off the birth control pill and even to manage PMS and period pain symptoms.
How to do it? Well it’s really simple and you’ll learn all about it in this episode! You’ll also learn:
- Nutrients that seeds contain to support your menstrual cycle
- What lignans are and how they support the cycle
- Why its recommended the seeds are freshly ground
- Pro’s and con’s to seed cycling including how gentle and safe it is and also how it lacks true scientific evidence to support it
- How seed cycling can help you connect to your cyclical nature
- Fun ways to include the seeds in your diet
- How to do seed cycling if you don’t currently have a cycle or if it’s not exactly 28 days

In the introduction of today’s episode, I share what I’m learning inside the book, Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings. As I read, I continue to learn how from the time the slave trade began in the 1500’s and as it continued through the 1800’s, the black body was used to justify slavery. White women and men viewed the black body as grotesque, wording depicted from literature quoted in the book from this timeframe. Religion and faith was also used to elevate thinness- believing that the ability to control fatness and control eating was attached with morality.
It’s had me reflecting- NO WONDER now in 2020 we have such deeply ingrained beliefs that how we eat and what we look like is attached with superiority and morality. We can see this now ver badum in the health and wellness industry, both the view the controlling your eating makes you superior and that controlling your body weight makes you elevated, or better than. I hope knowing this helps you to pause and think...do you really want to participate in a system that was used as a means to justify oppression and slavery?
Now, to today’s episode!
Today on the podcast we have guest Kate Eskuri. When I found Kate it was like finding a long lost like minded sister in this world of holistic health and well being!
Kate is a registered nurse, going back to school to get her doctorate in integrative health. She believes in traditional practices backed by modern research, which is totally up my alley. In this episode, you’ll hear us geek out on our love for blending Eastern and Western philosophies, how to be less black and white about your health and wellness rituals and what it means to practice holistic and realistic self care.
Kate is the author and founder of the Foundation blog and I know if you enjoy today’s episode you’ll love learning from her blog and following her on Instagram.
In this episode we discuss:
- Kate’s origin story to beginning the Foundation Blog
- What does foundation mean to Kate and 3 tips or takeaways of foundational health
- Kate shares about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and the process towards self actualization.
- How we can simplify health and wellness, making it holistic and realistic
- Gray area of health and wellness, not going to extremes and also blending together the worlds of Eastern medicine and Western medicine philosophies.
- How Kate practices wellness without obsession
- Kate’s favorite Primally Pure products: the gua sha stone, clarifying serum and deodorant. I would add this beauty cream as a personal favorite, too!

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

This episode begins with an update on my anti-racism education and what I’m learning. I share about the book, Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings and how I’m learning how the body, and specifically the female body, was objectified and used as justification for slavery (and later became the root of diet culture). I also took at anti-racism course for wellness professionals this week by Chrissy King, where I was reminded of why wellness is for everyone but not always accessible for all because of oppression and discrimination. I learned how to become a better ally and the course helped me put into action changes we will make in my business to ensure we are an ally today and all days going forward.
Today’s podcast is a long time coming, we are finally having a conversation about CBD oil!. I first became a fan of CBD oil when I started using it for my dog to improve his anxiety and seizures, and since have used it for the entire family as part of our wellness routines.
There’s a lot of misinformation out there about what exactly CBD is (no it won’t make you high!) and sourcing it correctly can be tricky, too. That’s why I’m so excited to have the founders of Ned, Ret and Adrian, on the podcast today.
In this episode we share:
- How Adrian and Ret started the CBD oil company, Ned and why they are obsessed with making the highest quality, full spectrum CBD you can find
- The science behind the benefits to CBD and using CBD as a holistic first line of defense
- How CBD is sourced from the hemp plant and what makes Ned different from other CBD oil companies
- Easy ways to add CBD into our daily habits and common ailments it can support
- Ret and Adrian share about the Cycle Collection for the monthly cycle that contain CBD and botanical blends
- How Ret and Adrian practice wellness without obsession
- Learn more about Ned and try their products for yourself here!

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. And today she is back to share about unmeasured movement to support your intuitive eating and living journey. Simi is one of my absolute favorite intuitive eating coaches and if you describe yourself as a perfectionist, you’re going to want to follow her and learn all that she has to share!
In this episode we discuss:
- What Simi has been up to since last on the show, and her 2020 goal to discuss intuitive movement.
- What inspired Simi to create the Barre membership group, Unmeasured.
- Simi shares why its called Unmeasured and why she believes movement should be about joy, not punishment.
- Tips for ways we can let go of the perfectionism and “should-ing” on ourselves about our exercise habits.
- Exploratory questions you can begin asking yourself to determine if exercise that day would be an act of self care, versus exercising out of self control.
- Simi shares what your relationship to rest can tell you about you relationship to movement.
- How Simi practices wellness without obsession.

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.

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.
Aimee Raupp, MS, LAc, is a renowned women’s health & wellness expert and the best- selling author of the books Chill Out & Get Healthy, Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, and Body Belief. A licensed acupuncturist and herbalist in private practice in New York, she holds a Master of Science degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor’s degree in biology from Rutgers University. Aimee is also the founder of the Aimee Raupp Beauty line of hand-crafted, organic skincare products. She has appeared on The View, and has been featured in Glamour, Allure, Well + Good, GOOP, Shape, and Redbook, and has received endorsements from Deepak Chopra, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Arianna Huffington, and Gabby Bernstein for her work in helping thousands of women to improve their vitality, celebrate their beauty, and reconnect to the presence of their optimal health. Aimee is also the Head of Chinese Medicine at The Well, an active columnist for media outlets such as Thrive Global, Well + Good, MindBodyGreen and is a frequent speaker at women’s health & wellness conferences across the nation. 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
- How acupuncture can support fertility
- What Qi, blood flow and essence are so important to our health
- Why we need to reconnect, renew and reawaken to have optimal health
- How Aimmee practices wellness without obsession

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!
I hope to see you inside the course!

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.

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!

In today’s podcast episode, with guest Emilie Hebert, we discuss whether or not eating vegan and intuitive eating can coexist. This episode may be one of my favorites to date! If you’ve been wondering if you can eat intuitively as a vegan or vegetarian or with food restrictions such as an allergy or health condition that requires elimination of food, this episode was made for you!
In this episode we discuss:
- Emilie’s inspiring journey to running her blog, Emilie Eats, and her current journey working towards becoming a registered dietitian/nutritionist.
- Emilie shares her disordered eating recovery journey, how she knew something was wrong with her relationship with food, and the steps she took to ensure recovery.
- How Emilie ensured she was NOT eating vegan as a way to control her body, and how she made sure she was still able to practice intuitive eating while respecting her morals and values.
- Exploratory questions you can ask yourself to ensure you are pursuing veganism for the right reasons, ones that are intuitive eating and health at every size aligned.
- Practicing liberalization and flexibility with eating habits as a vegan, such as eating non-animal sourced fun foods such as mac and cheese and burgers.
- Supplements to consider if you are vegan.
- How Emilie practices wellness without obsession.

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 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!

Thank to New Chapter for sponsoring today’s episode. You’ve heard me at length chat about why I love New Chapter’s multivitamin, prenatal vitamin and postnatal vitamin. Multivitamins support your foundational health with vital vitamins and minerals. But what’s so amazing is that New Chapter has also formulated a multiherbal for you, think of these as your multivitamin soul mates to add targeted herbal support.
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 One Daily Multiherbal Holistic, made with black seed, turmeric and ginger. Clinically studied Black Seed has been shown to support healthy cognitive function and memory while relieving occasional stress and anxiety to uplift mood. For heart and whole-body wellness, Ginger and Turmeric support healthy inflammation response and cardiovascular health.*
Or the Only Daily Multiherbal Energy Boost, made to increase energy and stamina. This multiherbal blend is caffeine-free and made with Eleuthero to invigorate the body and enhance energy and endurance even during times of high stress. It also contains my two of my favorite adaptogens, Rhodiola and Maca to support strengthening the body’s natural response to stress and fatigue*.
I’m personally excited to continue taking my postnatal vitamin and add these two multiherbals into my supplement protocol, as I could definitely benefit from both right now! You can purchase New Chapter multiherbals on New Chapter’s website, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode New Chapter!

When you saw the title of this podcast episode were you intrigued? I’ve been inspired, in countless ways, from my clients at Nourishing Minds Nutrition. Recently, I’ve been exploring this conversation of self worth and identity crises with my clients, and it inspired me to record this episode for you.
One of the reasons I believe it's hard to let go of the food obsession and more towards intuitive eating, making peace with your body and food flexibility is...that in our world we often get labeled as the “healthy one”.
In today’s episode I’m exploring why this is so hard, my own personal experience with redefining my identity and how to know if it’s time for you to do the same.
PLUS..I’m sharing in today’s episode our newest offer from Nourishing Minds Nutrition...A FREE WORKSHOP!

My favorite principle and what I would argue is the MOST important principle of intuitive eating is (drumroll please!)...Discover the satisfaction factor.
Discovering the satisfaction factor is the hub of all Intuitive Eating principles. In this episode I share why that is, and the reasons it is so important including attunement into your body, a true all foods fit mentality, pleasure as a health value and mental satiety. I also share why satisfaction is more than just being full, and ideas through mindful eating practices to tune in to discover what foods bring you pleasure to consume.

One of my favorite authors, Rebecca Scritchfield, author of Body Kindness is on the podcast today. Body Kindness is such a great representation of pursuing intuitive eating and health and wellness for authentic intentions and a positive, self loving mindset. Body Kindness encompasses so many beliefs we have at Nourishing Women Podcast and is a critical part of wellness without obsession. You don’t have to love your body to respect it, but let’s not forget that body respect and body kindness are key components of wellness we are often lacking in our culture that obsesses over the thin ideal.
Rebecca Scritchfield is an award winning HAES dietitian, certified exercise physiologist and author of the book, Body Kindness®.
In this episode we discuss:
- Rebecca’s origin story to becoming a non-diet dietitian and discovering her philosophy of Body Kindness.
- What her book, Body Kindness is about and the mission behind her work.
- The three pillars of body kindness: love, connect and care.
- The science and psychology behind the concept of spiraling up in the book.
- Rebecca shares the difference in intention and mindset when you look at nutrition from a non-diet lens vs a diet culture lens.
- How Rebecca practices wellness without obsession.

Today’s episode is incredible! Our guest in today's show, Dana Monsees, is open, honest and raw about her personal experience as a Whole 30 coach, and making the decision to transition to an intuitive eating philosophy and health at every size aligned approach for her clinical nutrition practice and education she provides on her blog and podcast.

This episode is brought to you by New Chapter. As a women’s health dietitian and educator, I have been on the search for my official recommendation for a prenatal vitamin for quite some time, and I am thrilled to say I finally found the one, and actually a prenatal AND postnatal vitamin- that checks all my boxes.
What’s so cool about New Chapter’s perfect prenatal vitamin is that it is fermented for better absorption with beneficial probiotics and whole foods, which also makes it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach- which if you’ve ever taken a prenatal vitamin you know that’s not always the case. Plus their new improved formula contains ginger to help combat morning sickness. It contains all the key nutrients your body needs for a growing baby, including methylfolate- which is the active form of folate I personally always recommend to my clients when they are looking for a prenatal.
And they also have a Perfect postnatal vitamin, which is what I am personally taking now. Its formulated specifically for new moms and our needs, to help us replenish nutrient stores from having a baby meaning its going to contain key nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, fermented iron as well as fermented B vitamins to support energy needs. What I think is so helpful is that it also contains herbs and plants that have been used traditionally for lactation like oats, kelp, chamomile and turmeric.
As with all New Chapter supplements and products, these prenatal and postnatal vitamins are nonGMO certified, made with organic whole foods and herbs and responsibly sourced. I mean I could it get any better, I don’t think so!
You can purchase New Chapter prenatal and postnatal vitamins on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode NC!

I am pausing another week on the content I had planned out to more specifically address what is going on right now with the COVID-10 Pandemic. Many of you have told me that this quick change in routine, the lack of unknown, these out of control times are bringing on a lot of food, exercise and anxiety challenges. I am going to answer questions I received from Instagram to help you with this.
These answers are catered towards the anxious mind and disordered patterns popping up as a way to cope. I do want to acknowledge some listening with actually be experiencing food insecurity because of loss of job, etc and that would of course add to the scarcity mindset around food. If you have been affected by a job loss and are food insecure, please let us know so we can spread the word to support our community.
Questions answered in today’s podcast episode:
Question:
I am finding that i”m struggling with taking a “rest day” from working out and getting close to my normal amount of steps. I usually workout 5-6 days in the gym but am now doing at home live workouts and I just don’t want to take a “rest day”. I think partially because i like the group fitness online but also because i’m afraid of losing strength/gaining weight.
Question:
How do you deal with exercise addiction in a time like this? I was so active at school, and being more sedentary messes with my head and makes me anxious. It makes me want to restrict, but I’m continuing to eat enough because my body needs to eat! I wanted to ask this because I know I’m not the only one.
Question:
I’d love if you could talk how to challenge the scarcity mindset when there is so much scarcity of food at the stores. Definitely triggering my ED thoughts!
Question:
Would love for you to explain on anxiety! Feels like my chest is clenched up so tight and I have trouble concentrating on anything even when watching TV, without feeling anxious.
I also want to send a big thank you to our new Tuesday podcast sponsors, Better Help. Better Help is a professional counseling service platform done through a secure online platform. Better Help is affordable, available worldwide, and you can get started within 24 hours.

Sending so much love to all of you affected by the Coronavirus Crisis. To help with keeping things normal in your daily routines, to give you things to do during this extra time we have and most importantly- tools to help with the anxiety of these uncertain times, I wanted to share today’s episode with you. One of probably the most important conversations we have had on the show, in today’s episode we explore how trauma shows up in our lives and in our bodies, and how to use healing modalities such as breathwork and meditation to help heal.

Victoria Albina, NP, MPH is a Certified Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Journey Meditation Facilitator and Holistic Nurse Practitioner who is on a mission to help women raised by alcoholics and codependents to heal their relationship with themselves: mind, body and spirit so they can live confident, healthy lives free from anxiety, stress and overwhelm.
As a Feminist Confidence Coach and host of the Feminist Wellness Podcast, Victoria teaches women how to live with confidence and radical, unapologetic self-love. With 20 years in health & wellness, Victoria brings cognitive psychology, somatic healing, neuroscience and feminist theory to her work, providing both a unique framework for understanding the effects of the patriarchy and capitalism on women’s mental and physical health, and an effective yet simple protocol for rewriting harmful old thought patterns to release anxiety and insecurity and to feel confident instead.
A former primary care provider and Functional Medicine expert, Victoria came to understand that the deepest root-cause healing work her patients were seeking was not found in lab work, supplements, prescriptions and restrictive nutrition plans. While all of that is an important part of the healing process, sustainable, long-lasting healing comes when we attend to mind, body and spirit, by healing our nervous systems and learning to manage the thought-patterns that keep us stuck and sick. By learning to look at our childhood wounds, our adult thought patterns, our somatic experience of challenging emotions and our energetics, Victoria guides women to a deeper place of health and healing – healing that lasts a lifetime.
In this episode we discuss:
- Victoria’s journey to becoming a certified life coach, certified breathwork journey meditation facilitator and holistic nurse practitioner.
- How trauma impacts our health and wellness and how it shows up physically and mentally
- How microtraumas still impact your health
- How to heal trauma so that you can heal your health issues
- The scientific benefits to breathwork and meditation
- Victoria’s top tips to beginning a breathing and meditation daily practice
- What the mind body spirit connection means
- How Victoria practices wellness without obsession

Thank you to today’s podcast sponsors:
Thank you to one of our podcast sponsors, Simple Mills. Simple Mills is on a mission to enrich the lives of their customers by providing simple, delicious food.
Their products are just that. Simple, yet delicious and as a foodie- I love including these delicious goodies in our groceries each week. While I personally eat gluten, these are a great option for those in my community who do need to be gluten free.
I have a love affair with many of their products- don’t even get me started on the crunchy chocolate chip cookies, but today we are going to share one of their newest products you can find at the grocery store, their soft baked almond flour bars. With four flavors available, you must get your hands on these delicious bars, too! Purchase at Simple Mills website, on Amazon and you can find Simple Mills at most health food stores and grocery stores too. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
This episode is also brought to you by New Chapter. As a women’s health dietitian and educator, I have been on the search for my official recommendation for a prenatal vitamin for quite some time, and I am thrilled to say I finally found the one, and actually a prenatal AND postnatal vitamin- that checks all my boxes.
What’s so cool about New Chapter’s perfect prenatal vitamin is that it is fermented for better absorption with beneficial probiotics and whole foods, which also makes it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach- which if you’ve ever taken a prenatal vitamin you know that’s not always the case. Plus their new improved formula contains ginger to help combat morning sickness. It contains all the key nutrients your body needs for a growing baby, including methylfolate- which is the active form of folate I personally always recommend to my clients when they are looking for a prenatal.
And they also have a Perfect postnatal vitamin, which is what I am personally taking now. Its formulated specifically for new moms and our needs, to help us replenish nutrient stores from having a baby meaning its going to contain key nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, fermented iron as well as fermented B vitamins to support energy needs. What I think is so helpful is that it also contains herbs and plants that have been used traditionally for lactation like oats, kelp, chamomile and turmeric.
As with all New Chapter supplements and products, these prenatal and postnatal vitamins are nonGMO certified, made with organic whole foods and herbs and responsibly sourced. I mean I could it get any better, I don’t think so!
You can purchase New Chapter prenatal and postnatal vitamins on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode NC!

I had planned a different episode for today, but when I tried to record it just didn’t feel right. I instead wanted to speak to what’s going on with the Coronavirus epidemic. Over the past week so much has shifted and changed in the US. I am sure I am not the only person out there who went from informed yet not worried to informed and started to feel like there is a brick on my chest at all times.
The purpose of today’s episode is to not educate or tell you anything you don’t already know (distance yourself, wash your hands and let’s listen to the scientists, not quack advice okay?). The purpose of today’s episode is to check in on you and send a compassionate reminder to all of this that it serves each and every one of us to stay calm in the midst of chaos.
Your feelings and emotions are 100% valid and I know many of us, myself included, are starting to feel the anxiety pick up. But the best thing we can do in hard times like this, is take care of mental health and take care of our collective whole as best we can. Here are some ideas for both.
Taking care of ourselves and staying calm:
- Be mindful of your social media intake, especially if work or school has been cancelled or staying at home. I also find getting dressed daily and keeping structure to the daily super helpful.
- When you feel anxious or spiraling thoughts happen, you are allowed to take care of yourself. Deep breathing, meditation and light yoga at home can be really helpful. If you can get outside for a few minutes that can help, too.
- Often when things in our lives feel out of control, it can be comforting to our minds to grip control onto things it perceives it can control: our body, food choices or exercise to name a few. Be thoughtful about recognizing these patterns if they come back or pick up right now, and reach out for support if needed.
- Keep your home and where your living clean and decluttered as best as possible.
Taking care of our collective whole:
- Social distancing. Even if you feel like you are not at risk, this and washing hands is one of the best things we can do to slow down the spread and reduce overwhelm on our healthcare system.
- While I want you to make sure you are feeding yourself and not restricting as a coping mechanism for the anxiety, I also know we all have a lot of concern for those that may not have access to food as much. You can always donate to your local food bank as well as help students that depend on school lunches. You can find out about each of these at @feedingamerica and @nokidhungry. Plus if you are part of a moms group and you know of a mom who is short on formula or breastmilk, sharing what you can or spreading the word online so we can each help each other out.
- As best as possible, support small businesses and workers who’s wages depend on service to others. Tipping extra for the service industry or shopping locally when can are some ideas to support.
- Be kind to others, its easy to lash out when we all feel anxiety. Let’s support and uplift each other up.
I know that there are listeners across the globe listening too, so while I live in the US and am speaking from that experience, I want to send a massive virtual hug to all of us, across the globe, who are dealing with this crisis.
If you are in need of emotional support or you know would like to ask for support for someone in need, come over to our Facebook group, Nourishing Women Community, for a safe haven to collect your thoughts.
I also want to send a big thank you to our new Tuesday podcast sponsors, Better Help. Better Help is a professional counseling service platform done through a secure online platform. Better Help is affordable, available worldwide, and you can get started within 24 hours.

Have you ever wondered if, as an intuitive eater, you can still apply nutrition science and information to how you live, including how you workout? If so, then this episode is for you!
In this episode with Cara Harbstreet, the non-dietitian behind Street Smart Nutrition, we discuss how to apply intuitive eating aligned nutrition to support exercise, how to know if you have a healthy relationship with exercise and the question everyone really wants to know...do I need to count my macros to support my exercise?!

She founded her private practice in 2016 to offer counseling for sports nutrition, intuitive eating, and HAES-informed nutrition services before transitioning to her current work in media & communications. When she’s not tackling diet culture or working on a new recipe in the kitchen, you can find her digging in to a good book or working on a creative project of some sort. You can connect with her on Instagram (@streetsmart.rd) or online through her website, streetsmartnutrition.com.
In this episode we discuss:
- Cara’s journey to becoming a non-diet dietitian
- Cara’s personal experience as an athlete in college and how that influenced her relationship with food and exercise
- How exercise fits into the intuitive eating paradigm
- Eating to support your exercise
- If macro counting is truly necessary to support your exercise

The purpose of today’s episode is to share the digestive response our bodies have to an eating disorder and how this impacts our gut microbiome.
For the context of this episode, I’m going to refer to eating disorders to include the entire spectrum: chronic dieting, disordered eating, orthorexia, anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating. Since I specialize in orthorexia, I’ll really be touching on this quite a bit in this episode, yet all eating disorders (ED) have an effect so this really is an episode to say all forms of ED impact digestion.
According to Marci Evans, 98% of those affected by ED have digestive issues. Specifically functional gut disorders (meaning no structural damage), although structural disorders can absolutely impact those with ED, too. In today’s episode we share why this may be that so many with ED struggle with digestive issues, as well as why those with digestive issues are more prone to develop ED.
There are so many mechanisms at play for how the digestive process is affected when we have an eating disorder, in this episode we will review how an eating disorder impacts digestion via:
- The gut brain axis
- The stress response of the body
- Inflammation
- Decreased variety of the microbiome
- Decreased intake of prebiotics (food for bacteria)
- As well as next steps to take as a patient and health care provider

One of the most common complaints I hear from you is feeling annoyed with your hunger and your body’s cues to eat.
I first encourage you to begin my questioning why you feel that way.
Why is it that we find a body’s signal to us annoying? Desire to question it? Or straight up don’t listen to it?
Diet culture is the culprit. So let’s choose otherwise.
Honoring hunger isn’t “giving in”, it’s body respect! It’s self care! It’s listening to your body and one of the first steps to that mind body connection.
Learn more in this episode about primal hunger, hunger and fullness interoceptive cues, the hunger fullness scale, not turning these principles into a diet and the benefits of honoring your hunger and fullness.

But really, wtf is diet culture? It’s a term that’s being used and thrown around a lot, but how do we define it and know if the information we are consuming is diet culture or not?
Today’s podcast episode explores this in detail, sharing the definition of diet culture and giving concrete specific versions of diet culture in detail. Plus, I give you three tips to be able to point out if something is diet culture or not, and end the episode sharing questions you can ask yourself to determine if you’re being influenced by diet culture.

There are so many misconceptions about intuitive eating, one of the biggest ones is that it’s anti-health and you cannot care about nutrition, health and wellness. The reasons, however, that health and wellness is pursued as an intuitive eater is very different than the diet culture infused versions of health and wellness.
So can you practice meal planning and food prepping as an intuitive eater?
Absolutely!
Important distinction: make sure you are in a healthy place with it first, though. If you are using it to control your food, it would be important to take a break until you can come back to it in a more fluid, healthy way. Think of it like the exercise conversation, just because we ask at times for exercise breaks, for example pausing on exercise until you get your period back if its missing, that doesn’t mean its a forever thing. Just like exercise too, meal planning and food prepping should enhance your life, bring joy or reduce stress, it shouldn’t be about controlling your body, controlling your food or exercise, forcing yourself to do anything. Remember: if not doing a health or wellness habit causes internal stress or anxiety or worry, that’s how you know it’s something to reflect on the why behind it.
I also think it’s critical to be flexible with it, as well as know it’s not for everyone, too. Some people will love it and find it so helpful, and do it all the time. Where other intuitive eaters won’t enjoy or find it helpful at all, and that’s 100% okay too. Intuitive Eating is all about individuality and doing what is best for you.
Here are some Intuitive Eating aligned reasons to meal plan and food prep:
- Saves time, you cook once and eat many times. And save time not having to battle over what’s for dinner nightly.
- Saves money from eating out or getting take out.
- Aligns with your values, like eating as a family..
- Reduces stress on mental decision fatigue
- Gives you more space to do other things that bring you joy (I always look for recipes that are under thirty minutes to cook).
- Encourages you to try new foods and recipes.
- Challenges you to try new foods and recipes.
- Environmental factors, reducing waste (eating more at home and also less plastic wrapped items).

A few episodes ago (in episode 144 on allowing yourself to grieve your here and now body) we discussed one of the first, critical stages of body acceptance. You have to grieve your here and now body and understand how your body image is so directly tied to your self worth and self esteem. Yet, how do you go from hating your body to then accepting it?
Today’s podcast episode explores how to move from hating your body and grieving it, to then feel tolerant and neutral towards it and work towards body (and more importantly, self) acceptance. Our guest on today’s show, Alissa Rumsey, is one of my favorite non-diet dietitians in the intuitive eating space and she’s amazing at chatting about body image work. In this episode, you’ll get tangible tips for how to work to accept your body (in time!) and we also discuss in detail what it actually means to develop and have a healthy body image.
In this episode we discuss in detail:
- Alissa’s journey to becoming a non-diet dietitian and making the shift in her career to educating and counseling through an intuitive eating and health at every size lens
- Her advice for RDs-to-be and anyone out there building an online health and nutrition business
- The importance of SEO, strategy and intention for your website and your business
- Navigating body acceptance, how to move from body grief and hating your body to acceptance
- Where body image work comes in at during the intuitive eating journey
- What body respect means and how to practice it
- Making peace with potential weight gain in the intuitive eating journey
- What does a healthy body image look like and Alissa’s #1 piece of advice for developing it
- Alissa’s current favorite tools for practicing wellness without obsession

Thank you to today’s podcast sponsor, Simple Mills. I love simple ingredients and delicious food, and that is what Simple Mills excels at. While I have a love affair with many of their products, don’t even get me started on the crunchy chocolate chip cookies, today I want to share with you my newest obsession: the soft baked almond flour bars.
While these bars are delicious on their own, I love to personally eat them as part of my afternoon snack with slices of cheese and apple. I also think they taste great on top of smoothies, oatmeal and yogurt. I’ve been throwing these in my diaper bags and purse lately too so I always have a snack on hand when I’m out and about with Maddy and need something!
If you want to see me taste testing these delicious bars and talking about them more, head over to my IGTV channel today where I am sharing a video on these bars in partnership with Simple Mills.

This episode is a super special one. I invite my past client, Maddy, on the show to share her personal journey to freedom in food and life. In this episode, Maddy shares her relationship with food growing up, when being the “healthy one” became her identity, realizing she had a problem- orthorexia, and seeking help to recover with a therapist and working with me at Nourishing Minds Nutrition.
Maddy shares what it was like to heal her disordered eating and get her period back, where she is at now and some amazing takeaways she has from her personal journey.
Maddy is a wonderful example of someone who was dedicated to her healing and becoming an intuitive eater, and recognizing when it was time to ask for assistance in that process. I so appreciate her vulnerability and honesty in sharing her story in hopes of helping others, and I am so grateful to have been a part of it!

I know everyone is setting resolutions for 2020, but I wanted to share with you what I do instead. I set intentions that are based off values in my own life. Value based living means you are living your life according to what is important to you. How you believe you should live your life, not what others expect, or want of you. Values inspire the desired qualities of ongoing action and can help you be intentional with how you spend your time and live your life. In this episode, I share why I love value based intentions and my own personal intentions going into 2020.
This episode ends with a fun new segment called Clapping Back at Diet culture. In this segment, we share some of the current manifestations of diet culture.

And I also love B. Powered which combines all the superfoods of the hive of propolis, royal jelly, energizing bee pollen, and—of course— honey, I’ve been putting this in my afternoon tea for an energy boost. And the superfood cacao honey, made with Ecuadorian cacao and sustainably sourced honey is so delicious drizzled on yogurt, smoothies and on my toast too!

If you listen to this podcast for any length of time, you know I’m a big fan of collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein in skin, bone and connective tissue and using collagen powders is a great way to include this traditional food in your diet and something I like to use Instead of protein powder. I love that New Chapter offers three different kinds of collagen powders, collagen glow that is mixed with sea buckthorn for hair and skin support, collagen move with calcium added for joint support and collagen elevate with matcha added for mental energy and clarity. All collagen powders are Non-GMO, gluten free and multi sourced from grass fed, pasture raised beef and cage free chicken.
You can purchase New Chapter’s Collagen powders on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode New Chapter.

As founder and CEO of the wellness brand Beekeeper’s Naturals, Carly’s mission is to improve the health of humans and bees alike, which is why she left her job on the trading floor at Goldman Sachs to launch Beekeeper’s Naturals full-time in 2016.
Beekeeper’s Naturals is on a mission to revamp your medicine cabinet. Rather than relying on conventional products, their potent nutraceuticals are made from plant extracts and powerful remedies from the beehive—like royal jelly, propolis, and bee pollen. To make the most out of what nature has to offer, Carly and her team use scientific rigor to craft the highest quality solutions to everyday health issues—like brain fog, low energy, and scratchy throats.
As a beekeeper and a tireless advocate for the preservation of the waning global bee population, Carly is dedicated to using her company as a platform to make a difference and raise awareness for the bee cause. Carly was recently recognized as a game-changing entrepreneur on the 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
In this episode we discuss:
- Carly’s background to beginning her company Beekeeper’s Naturals and how it is rooted in her own health journey.
- BKN’s mission to improve the health of you, the bees and the planet and how those are all interconnected
- Understanding how bees contribute to the global ecosystem and how factors, like pesticide use, are affecting the decline of the bee population
- How using bee products can improve your health, such as how propolis improves your immune system
- Understanding each part of the bee hive (propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen and honey) and the role they have in the hive and also how they each can improve your health
- Victoria and Carly’s favorite BKN products
- Why balance is a fundamental part of the wellness journey

This year of my life has met me with the most changes, the hardest moments and the most rewarding moments of my life. I’ve never better understood duality of emotions than before this year, and I learned it from both my business and from becoming a mother. I wanted to use today’s episode as an opportunity to get more personal than I usually do with you, and share a lot of the behind the scenes, the emotions...the things I’m afraid to tell you.
In this episode I share how I’ve battled a lot of stress, worry and overcame a lot of fear this year surrounding big changes in my life, becoming a mom, business transitions and all the emotions that came with big life changes.
So here’s to a crazy 2019! You taught me so, so much. And I would be lying if I didn’t say I hope 2020 is little less all over the place, but if it is I’m here for that too. Here’s to a 2020 of chasing dreams, of living life the way we envision and living according to our values, let’s do that together!

The purpose of today’s episode is to give anyone out there experiencing digestive issues doable and approachable tools and strategies you can begin using today to have digestive relief. While this conversation is geared towards people with IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, these strategies can really be used by anyone experiencing digestive symptoms.
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared this so I wanted to give a quick refresher to why I’m so passionate about digestive health and ensuring my clients and community have root cause identified, strategies with lifestyle and food and nutrition to support symptoms and utilizing food as medicine through herbal supplements and probiotics to have symptom relief and let me explain why...
For a decade of my life, I had terrible IBS.
My symptoms affected my quality of life severely. My own digestive issues, and really all my health issues, led me to start a practice that specializes in these areas, because when I was going through it myself, this type of help didn’t exist. And I was determined to change that.
I can speak to you today with truly being on the other side, which I never thought I would be able to say. Listen to today’s episode to get tips and strategies you can begin to implement today to get digestive relief from your IBS.

Y’all I am so excited about today’s episode! I started following Becca Bristow about a year ago when we connected on the conversation of Intuitive Eating, and have become RD-online-friends and feel so honored to say that! Becca came on the show today to share about her business, being a mother, her passion for intuitive eating and we also spend a ton of time chatting the benefits of essential oils. Becca is a wonderful educator on how to use essential oils, and if you’ve been wondering why you should add essential oils to your wellness journey and how to do so, this conversation is for you!
If you don’t know Becca, she is a Registered Dietitian, wife, dog lover, content creator, DIY fiend, oily lady, and homebody. She is the content creator of the popular You Tube channel under her name, Becca Bristow, and a very inspiring entrepreneur and dietitian. One of my favorite things about Becca is how she shares tips, education and inspiration in a very laid back, easy to digest way. Conversations on health and nutrition and even essential oils can become so complicated so quickly, and she does such a good job of truly helping you understand and digest these complex conversations- which to me is a true sign of someone who knows their stuff.
In this episode we discuss:
- Becca’s story to starting her own business and YouTube channel
- Her personal story trying essential oils for the first time
- How essential oils improved her period pain
- The benefits of using essential oils
- The best oils to start with and ideas for how to add them to your life
- Why intuitive eating is just biological eating
- Intuitive eating and baby led weaning in children
- Becca’s experience so far giving her daughter food

Beekeepers Natural is a wellness company that makes innovative products made from healing hive compounds, but they are also on a mission to save the bees! My personal favorite product is the propolis throat spray, made from the immune system of the hive it has incredible germ fighting properties and is something I always have on hand when traveling and when I feel the need for extra immune support. And I also love B. Powered which combines all the superfoods of the hive of propolis, royal jelly, energizing bee pollen, and—of course— honey, I’ve been putting this in my afternoon tea for an energy boost. And the superfood cacao honey, made with Ecuadorian cacao and sustainably sourced honey is so delicious drizzled on yogurt, smoothies and on my toast too!

If you’ve never heard of the term gentle nutrition before, this is the approach and mindset to applying nutrition in the intuitive eating paradigm. The term gentle nutrition comes from the final of the ten principles of Intuitive Eating, called honor your health with gentle nutrition. Gentle nutrition allows for individuality understanding we all feel different eating different ways, for our own convictions and values, and for our own health needs, too. While its common in the intuitive eating community to avoid the nutrition conversation, this can sometimes lead to more confusion on the subject. I also think understanding nutrition can often help us reject diet mentality and appreciate what food does to us and for us, too.
In this episode I share how we approach the conversation of gentle nutrition with clients, when its appropriate to consider nutrition in your intuitive eating journey and some specific examples of what gentle nutrition looks and feels like. At the end of the day, nutrition is quite simple and is highly individualized and intuitive eating encourages us to explore how we feel when we eat.

There are a few holistic options I always recommend to support your immune system this year, and one of my favorite things to encourage is using elderberry syrup. Y’all know I absolutely love New Chapter and everything they make, and that includes their elderberry syrup! New Chapter’s Elderberry Syrup Advanced Immune Defense contains highly concentrated elderberry extract, I’m talking 64x more concentrated than the fruit itself, giving your body serious support to naturally protect and defend its immune system.* This superpowered superfruit is naturally sweetened with throat soothing honey and can be enjoyed by adults and kids 4 and older, so the whole family can support their immune system!
You can purchase New Chapter’s elderberry syrup on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode New Chapter.

I want to start off this conversation by saying...Our bodies are made for detoxing and equipped to handle toxins, chemicals, stress and inflammation- so many of the taboo words in the health and wellness world.
The problem is not that we should avoid all these things forever and freak out if we ever use a soap that has fragrance, or buy a deodorant with aluminum or eat an inflammatory food (whatever that means...because truly everyone has a different opinion and one of my biggest complaints with the clean eating concept).
The problem is when these things because daily and consistent in our lives. Yes, our bodies are equipped, but when the load is daily- it can become too much. And conventional beauty and makeup products can be one of the biggest contributors to that daily toxic load...I mean think about it- how many times a day and how many products do you use daily on your skin and face?
Plus, there are so many factors that are outside of our control, becoming mindful about what we can be intentional about (because we all make purchases for our skincare and makeup) can be a way to support our reducing that overall toxicity load and use ingredients and products that naturally enhance and support our body’s ability to function.Plus, I’m all about supporting businesses and brands I believe in. Where we put our money tells the world what matters, and this is a great way to effect the supply and demand chain.
In this episode we discuss:
- The 4 main ingredients to avoid in your skincare products
- My favorite skin skincare and green beauty products
- Tips for making the transition easy, affordable and doable
- Avoiding greenwashing and companies taking advantage of the natural product movement
- Intentional shopping and purchasing

Sara Forte is a two-time cookbook author, award-winning food blogger at Sprouted Kitchen, co-creator of the Sprouted Kitchen Cooking Club, mom of two, and equal opportunity salad and brownie enthusiast living in Southern California. Sara’s food blog, Sprouted Kitchen, launched over a decade ago and has been an adventure Sara pursued with her wildly talented husband, Hugh, who is responsible for all of their food photography.
Sara has worked at a grocery store, two farms, and has spent the last decade creating recipes for her blog, two cookbooks, and her weekly meal planning program, Sprouted Kitchen Cooking Club. Her intention is to make healthy-ish food that fits into that fits into the everyday life of families. She doesn’t subscribe to particular diets, or label foods as "good" or "bad." Her food philosophy is to try to eat mostly vegetables and listen to your body outside of that.
Sara is authentically interested in the entire concept of wellness, including mental health, relationships, mindfulness, movement and eating well. To Sara, caring for ourselves and others with nourishing foods is a big piece of that “wellness” puzzle. She cooks for pleasure, to slow her mind down, and to foster relationships by gathering those she loves around the table.
Knowing how food connects us, Sara and Hugh recently founded Sprouted Kitchen Cooking Club - a weekly meal planning subscription, that helps home cooks get dinner on the table by organizing their time at the market and in the kitchen, and offering recipes to prepare a handful of healthy-ish meals during the week.
In this episode we discussed:
- Sara’s journey with starting her blog, Sprouted Kitchen, and how that led to two cookbooks and a meal planning service, the Sprouted Kitchen Cooking Club
- Why Sara cooks and how it connects her to herself, her food, her relationships and so much more
- Easy ideas for how to get started in the kitchen
- How to cook and meal plan with ease using Sprouted Kitchen Cooking Club
- Sara’s inspiration to start her weekly meal planning service to empowers members to put tasty, real food in their bodies and on the tables
- What wellness means to Sara
- Getting started with feeding children and ways to sneak vegetables in their diet

This episode is brought to you by New Chapter. As a women’s health dietitian and educator, I have been on the search for my official recommendation for a prenatal vitamin for quite some time, and I am thrilled to say I finally found the one, and actually a prenatal AND postnatal vitamin- that checks all my boxes.
What’s so cool about New Chapter’s Perfect Prenatal Vitamin is that it is fermented for better absorption with beneficial probiotics and whole foods, which also makes it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach- which if you’ve ever taken a prenatal vitamin you know that’s not always the case. Plus their new improved formula contains ginger to help combat morning sickness. It contains all the key nutrients your body needs for a growing baby, including methylfolate- which is the active form of folate I personally always recommend to my clients when they are looking for a prenatal*.
And they also have a Perfect Postnatal Vitamin, which is what I am personally taking now. Its formulated specifically for new moms and our needs, to help us replenish nutrient stores from having a baby meaning its going to contain key nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, fermented iron as well as fermented B vitamins to support energy needs. What I think is so helpful is that it also contains herbs and plants that have been used traditionally for lactation like oats, kelp, chamomile and turmeric*.
As with all New Chapter supplements and products, these prenatal and postnatal vitamins are nonGMO certified, made with organic whole foods and herbs and responsibly sourced. I mean I could it get any better, I don’t think so!
You can purchase New Chapter prenatal and postnatal vitamins on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode New Chapter!

Orthorexia is an eating disorder on the rise, and while it’s not in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual just yet, its a valid, real issue we need to address. This eating disorder is picking up in speed, especially due to the cultural fixation we have on clean eating. In this episode, we discuss:
- Basic definition of Orthorexia
- Warning signs and symptoms you may be struggling with orthorexia
- Specific examples I’ve seen in clinical practice of orthorexia
- A self help test from Dr. Bratman
- What healthy eating and living looks like in contrast to orthorexia

The longer I do this work, the more I realize how much the fear of weight gain is one of the absolute, biggest predictors of why we fear intuitive eating.
And I get it- I really do. I learned about intuitive eating way before I actually began my permission stage, meaning I rejected the belief that I needed to diet and gave myself unconditional permission to eat all foods, and truly listen to my body. If you are trying to start this journey, there are a few factors that you are going to need to work through first, or else you will always get stuck.
With clients, we focus on mindset, values, working through barriers, facing fears...including the fear of weight gain...first before we start detailing through the intuitive eating principles. This allows for better SUCCESS because you’ve made peace and worked on what’s holding you back from, first and foremost.
So this brings me to today’s conversation because its one of the biggest aspects that holds us back from intuitive eating...fear of weight gain.
If you would have told me ten years ago that I would weigh what I do today and not only accept and tolerate it but NOT CARE and be happier, healthier and loving my life, myself and my body...I would have laughed at you. I had a core belief that being smaller was better and that weight gain would derail everything in my life.
Are you ready to learn more? Today’s podcast episodes shares:
- Why we are having this conversation about weight gain
- Weight gain as a possibility in your intuitive eating journey
- Set point theory and how to discover your personal set point range
- How to make peace with weight gain through:
-
- Education as a tool for peace
- Letting go of desire to lose weight
- Body Respect practices
- Practicing trust and patience
- Investing in yourself

This episode is brought to you by New Chapter. As a women’s health dietitian and educator, I have been on the search for my official recommendation for a prenatal vitamin for quite some time, and I am thrilled to say I finally found the one, and actually a prenatal AND postnatal vitamin- that checks all my boxes.
What’s so cool about New Chapter’s Perfect Prenatal Vitamin is that it is fermented for better absorption with beneficial probiotics and whole foods, which also makes it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach- which if you’ve ever taken a prenatal vitamin you know that’s not always the case. Plus their new improved formula contains ginger to help combat morning sickness. It contains all the key nutrients your body needs for a growing baby, including methylfolate- which is the active form of folate I personally always recommend to my clients when they are looking for a prenatal*.
And they also have a Perfect Postnatal Vitamin, which is what I am personally taking now. Its formulated specifically for new moms and our needs, to help us replenish nutrient stores from having a baby meaning its going to contain key nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, fermented iron as well as fermented B vitamins to support energy needs. What I think is so helpful is that it also contains herbs and plants that have been used traditionally for lactation like oats, kelp, chamomile and turmeric*.
As with all New Chapter supplements and products, these prenatal and postnatal vitamins are nonGMO certified, made with organic whole foods and herbs and responsibly sourced. I mean I could it get any better, I don’t think so!
You can purchase New Chapter prenatal and postnatal vitamins on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode New Chapter!

Anytime I talk about perfectionism on the podcast, you love the episodes and I totally get it! Its something that I struggled with, and while I consider myself a recovering perfectionist for the most part, it is still something I always have to challenge. Perfectionism can often be one of the root problems surrounding disordered eating and orthorexia, so its an important mindset shift to work through and move past for this, but even if you don’t struggle with your relationship with food, its still worthwhile to work on.
Today’s podcast episodes shares:
- Why moving past perfectionism is a worthwhile endeavor
- Moving past perfectionism by:
-
- Practicing enoughness
- Be willing to be vulnerable
- Letting go
- Be purposefully imperfect
- Progress, not perfection
- How to move past perfectionism in your food and health habits
- What moving past perfectionism has given me in my personal life

Honestly, I came up with way more than 5 misconceptions about intuitive eating when I was outlining this episode, because there are so many! Intuitive eating is nuanced and complicated for sure, but what makes it even more messy is the misinformation and misconceptions surrounding it. In today’s episode we explore 5 misconceptions and the truths about what intuitive eating is actually all about.
Misconceptions that we debunk in today’s episode.
- Intuitive eating is anti-health.
- Intuitive eating is the hunger and fullness diet.
- Intuitive eating is only for those recovered from an eating disorder.
- Intuitive eating allows for you to eat cookies, but just one.
- Intuitive eating is easy and there is something wrong with me if it doesn’t feel that way.

Adaptogens are all the rage right now, and this is one of the few health trends that I’m here for! Adaptogens are naturally occurring, nontoxic plant substances such as herbs, roots, spices and even mushrooms that have been used traditionally by Aruvedya (the sister science to yoga and 5,000 year old practice of medicine in India), Chinese medicine, and in Northern European countries for thousands of years. While common in Eastern medicine and application, they are picking up in the West and we are going to explore in today’s podcast episode what constitutes a plant as an adaptogen, what they provide and do for the body, research surrounding them, why you may want to consider them for stress and hormone support and some of my favorite specific types of adaptogens.
At the end of the day, adaptogens should be used in a fun, curious way to see if they benefit you and to consider as part of your wellness routine and/or healing protocol. They are not mandatory to pursue health, but if you notice a difference taking them, can be supportive to take to combat everyday stressors.

This episode marks an exciting update to the show, we are now offering two episodes a week!
Tuesday episodes will be shorter in length and Friday episodes will include personal life updates again and usual business updates, and then share the longer length episodes. I’m also thinking Tuesday episodes will be more of thought based conversations and Friday episodes will be for guests or educational, step by step, or more science driven episodes.
I promise I’ll always have episodes on Friday no matter what, but the Tuesdays may be just seasons we...or every other week...let’s see how I feel about it on the production side and how you feel about it from the content side and we will go from there!
Today we are going to chat how social media can impact your intuitive eating journey. Social media's role in your journey is so important its something I ask every client at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, and included it in my Body Image Reset.
After this episode I want you to do your own analysis of your relationship with social media.
While I love to use social media for connection to my community, networking with peers and getting daily inspiration, there was also a time in my life where it made me feel disconnected from my intuition and I also started to question my own eating and exercise habits, as I began to compare myself to popular influencers on the app.
Can you relate? Let me also ask...
How much time do you spend on their daily? Do you get excited, inspired and enjoy connecting with friends and peers?
Or does it make you anxious? Begin to question yourself? Does it make it harder for you to accept your body? Yourself? Does it make it harder to know what to eat?
Does it in any way make you feel not enough? Less worthy or deserving?
Today's episode gives you tips and strategies for how to utilize social media in a way that supports your relationship with yourself and your intuitive eating journey. We chat how to take a social media detox, take inventory of who you follow, create boundaries with the app and more!

On the podcast today we have back on the show Megan Perez, one of the dietitians at Nourishing Minds Nutrition. In this episode, Megan shares her feedback and personal experience trying the whole 30 diet, and how this is not a non-diet approach. We review who the diet was created for, the pros, cons and major takeaways from her experience implementing it. Overall, our goal is to show you that no external sources that tell you what you can and cannot eat is true intuitive eating, and that placing food and good or bad categories creates an all or nothing approach to food. While the episode aims to be open-minded to why someone may implement this in their lives, we feel there is no way it could heal someone's relationship with food or could be sustainable for the long term.

About Lisa:
Lisa Hendrickson-Jack talks about vaginas a lot! She’s a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teaches women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception, and monitoring overall health. In her new book The Fifth Vital Sign, Lisa debunks the myth that regular ovulation is only important when you want children, by recognizing the menstrual cycle as a vital sign. Drawing heavily from the current scientific literature, Lisa presents an evidence-based approach to fertility awareness and menstrual cycle optimization. She hosts the Fertility Friday Podcast, a weekly radio show devoted to helping women connect to their fifth vital sign by uncovering the connection between menstrual cycle health, fertility, and overall health. With well over a million downloads, Fertility Friday is the #1 source for information about fertility awareness, and menstrual cycle health, connecting women around the world with their cycles and their fertility — something our education systems have consistently failed to do. When she’s not researching, writing, and interviewing health professionals, you’ll find her spending time with her husband and her two sons. To learn more, visit fertilityfriday.com.
Topics include:
- Why learning about our menstrual cycle is important for all people, men and women
- Difference between rhythm method and FAM
- Why we should consider the menstrual cycle as a vital sign
- Why the menstrual cycle (with regular ovulation) is an important sign of health
- Why period pain, though common, is absolutely not normal, and steps to take to reduce pain without painkillers
- Why hormonal contraceptives don't "fix" or "cure" period problems
- The most common side effects associated with hormonal birth control
- The impact of hormonal contraceptives on fertility (and how this relates to planning ahead for pregnancy)
- Using fertility awareness for birth control — breaking down the 3 main fertile signs (cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and cervical positions
