Aligned Nutrition Podcast

Struggles with body image and food are often ongoing but can be heightened during certain times of year, periods in our journey, being around certain people, or any other form of external pressure to eat and look a certain way. This year is no different as we head into the warmer weather and some more social events being available to us following covid-19. Join me and my guest expert Dylan as we dive into some new ways to approach these situations and remain resilient in the face of challenges unique to right now.

This episode is from a conversation I had with Katelyn Parsons on the Modern Girl Podcast. You may remember her from a couple episodes back about body image. Sharing it here on the podcast because it's full of insights and value. A few highlights of our conversation: 

My personal body image story- growing up as a dancer and finding self compassion in a yoga class

My experience of discovering joyful and explorative movement rather than the constant "shoulds" of working out

How discovering intuitive eating in the midst of dietetics school impacted my career decision

My emotional decision to start her dietitian practice and building her practice

My advice if you're in a career that emphasizes a height and weight standard 

My expert opinion on the intersection of eating disorders and disordered eating

If you want to know more about how to apply these things to your own healing inquire to work directly with Aligned Nutrition at https://alignednutrition.com/work-together/.

Our special guest Julia has overcome so much in her life. She is poised to be a social worker helping others heal. After overcoming her own trauma, she was left with an eating disorder she never asked for. Never feeling thin enough or sick enough to deserve recovery, hear exactly how she broke through those beliefs and found the level of freedom with eating she couldn't have imagined a year ago. 

Content warning - mentions of sexual abuse, self-harm behaviors, and suicidal ideations

Chances are your relationship to food and exercise have gotten tied up over the years. It's important to take a look at how we can cultivate a positive relationship with exercise and our bodies.

With over 10 years of experience in the fitness industry and advanced knowledge and research in intuitive eating, she is a wealth of knowledge and I know you'll learn something from our conversation.

Do you want to understand more about how having a positive relationship with food and seeking nutritional healing or care work together? A dietitian is a knowledgeable source of information, join Realign Community for expert nutrition coaching from Erica at realigncommunity.com

As a nutrition professional, I'm aware of the weight of nutrition information. Weaponized, it leaves us with food rules, guilt with eating, and shame about our dietary choices. As a tool, it helps us feel full and energized, satisfied as we move about our lives, and able to have fun and connect with food. 

In this episode, I discuss: my own journey with relearning information, how to discern nutrition research and some common "lenses" through which we hear nutrition information. It's my job to help answer questions about nutrition and tailor it to your situation and background. Stop guessing and stressing out how you eat. Join me every single week in Realign Community and email me anytime. It's life-changing and affordable.

Stories connect us, inspire us, and remind us of the human part of healing your relationship to food. I'm so grateful to Savannah, a former Realign Community member for sharing what it was like for her to connect with hunger and fullness. To actually build trust with eating. As always, I believe connecting with others in this work is an essential part of finding healing for yourself.  

Hunger and fullness are concepts that have several steps that need to take place first and they are very personal. Don't keep guessing and feeling like you'll never get there. Meet with me every week to tailor and personalize the courses, training, and worksheets I created to help you discover and build trust with eating. It's life-changing and affordable.
