Dr. Colleen Reichmann joins us again this week for a very needed, very nuanced conversation around aging, self-care, botox and body image! We talk about how it’s normal to experience conflicted feelings about aging and ‘tweakments’ like botox, fillers, red light therapy, etc. We also discuss how insisting people should just love their bodies as they age and calling age a privilege doesn’t address the system that creates the fear of aging.

Aging, botox and body image with Dr. Colleen Reichmann


This week we have a nutrition in the news episode all about Big Food and anti-diet influencers & dietitians! A juicy article came up on Washington Post that we *needed* to dig into, titled: As obesity rises, Big Food and dietitians push ‘anti-diet’ advice – and you KNOW we were going to have some opinions on this one. We discuss how anti-diet language is being co-opted, but not in the way the article mentions. Big Food is also starting to cash in on the anti-diet “trend” and marketing to reach more people. Let’s discuss!



PS – I mentioned “the Examiner” as the other paper the Washington Post did this report with, it’s actually “the Examination”, which calls itself “a a new nonprofit newsroom specializing in global public health reporting.”

Breaking down gut health trends (part 2)


This week we’re doing a deep dive on the negative body image and gut health connection! It’s natural when things aren’t going great internally with your body that you’re not going to feel good about your body image. Why is this? We’re digging into the gut-brain connection, how and why having a diagnosis (or cluster of symptoms) can really send your body image into a ditch, and what you can do about it. Check out the resources we mentioned on today’s episode here!

Negative Body Image: Is your gut health to blame?


We’re bringing you another trending topic in the nutrition and wellness world this week – cycle syncing! This is a recently re-popularized trend where more functionally-minded circles are sharing how you can live, eat, exercise, etc. in line with the four phases of the menstrual cycle. And while it’s refreshing to see more information out there about understanding womens’ cycles, of course people had to take it to an extreme, orthorexic place and try to make buckets of money off of it. Stay tuned to learn more about your cycle, and how to approach cycle syncing in a non-perfectionistic way.



Recommendations & Resources Mentioned:




* Somatic Exercise: Helpful or Harmful? (bonus episode!)



* Cycle syncing info chart!
