In this episode we discuss why we view “food as a reward” with a side of skepticism and conflicting feelings. From childhood treats to adult indulgences like alcohol and retail therapy, we’re exploring why we feel the need to earn every bite. Why do we think of “food as a reward” as a bad thing? Why do we think certain foods need to be earned and others don’t? Join us as we break free from the cycle of “earning” and explore alternative ways to treat ourselves without guilt or shaming. Check out the reflection questions that go along with this episode HERE.

Raising kid food explorers with Dani Lebovitz


This week we’re doing a deep dive on tools, foods, and supplements that are being touted as  ” natural ozempic “, including oats, berberine, akkermansia, and continuous glucose monitors (CGM’s) . Does a natural ozempic even exist? How do these tools work in the body, and do they actuallly work as social media says they do? Why is no one talking about potential side effects (like pooping your pants on the regular??!)

Natural ozempic – does it exist?


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.
