Hey Rebel!
There's nothing I love more than hearing people who struggled with their relationships with food for so long recount how intuitive eating changed their lives for the better. That's the story you'll be hearing today, as my past group coaching client, Michelle, shares how she went from obsessing over food, struggling with her body image, and overcoming addiction, to now being in a place where she can go on spontaneous dates, listen to her body, and never diet again!
Michelle shares so much wisdom about the mindset shifts she made to begin challenging her relationship with food. She realized that if you are going to have to eat every day for the rest of your life, you might as well make the best of it!
You'll also hear her discuss:
I know you'll walk away from this episode with inspiration!

Hey Rebel. Recently, an Oprah special came out titled "shame, blame and the weight loss revolution", all about the popular weight loss drugs right now... and it got a lot of attention. So I decided to watch the special so you don't have to and today I am breaking it down with all of my thoughts... and I have a lot.
Surprisingly, there are a few things I agree with. But there are more things that I have concerns about...
Give it a listen to hear all about the special and even more about the science (or lack thereof) behind these medications.

It is that constant chatter about food in your head. The thinking about food 24/7. And maybe food noise sounds a little bit different in your head, but if it feels all-consuming, if it feels all-controlling, if it's something that you think about literally all the time, this episode is for you!
I'm going to share 3 powerful ways that intuitive eating can help to quiet your food noise and free up precious brain space for you to focus on more important things in life.

Hey Rebel!
Have you ever wondered, "what if intuitive eating doesn't work for me"? Buckle in for today's episode as we delve into a topic that resonates with many - the internal battle with doubt and fear that arises when we face the new journey to find a healthier relationship with food.
We all recognize that little voice of doubt, whispering concerns and fears whenever we're on the brink of embracing change. It's a universal experience, and most importantly, it's completely normal.
We'll explore the often overlooked consequences of dieting, shedding light on how these practices not only affect our relationship with food but also amplify our fear of failure. This fear can be a significant barrier, preventing us from pursuing the healing we so deserve. However, there's hope.

Hey Rebel!
Have you ever thought about aging, menopause, and body changes over the lifespan and felt anxious? It makes sense when the diet and beauty industry prey on us to be scared of these things. But what if you could rethink our response to aging and create a more compassionate, neutral, and realistic narrative around these very normal experiences?
This is why I had Registered Dietitian and Midlife Health Specialist Val Schonberg on the podcast today! My associate dietitian Angie recommended her to come on after she recently took a continuing education course by Val, and I'm so glad she did because more conversations around aging need to be had!
By tuning in today, you'll hear about:
how she went from a rather sheltered upbringing from diet culture pressures to later in life becoming a victim to them and struggling.
what helped her heal and what has helped her embrace and enjoy the aging process.
the importance of separating your entire self worth from your body size.
how to incorporate gentle nutrition as you age.
You can find Val on instagram at @v.schonbergrd or on her website https://valschonberg.com/
