How does one evaluate their meals without pre-occupation, stress, overwhelm, judgment and guilt? 

I've developed a 5 question check-in I go through with patients when we evaluate intake that may seem like a lot at first - but it is SUCH a great tool to apply so you can create meals that work for you, your health, and your relationship with food longterm. 

Listen in to find out how to look at meals through a lens of nuance and curiosity WHILE understanding priorities you want to apply through a healthy diet.

Today I am diving into a discussion that clarifies WHY there are so many approaches of intake that can work for SOME and not OTHERS and the major considerations you can take to determine what is best for you through highlighting our very neglected and very important components of our diet: Micronutrients

I have worked with a LOT of people that are VERY familiar with macros, and I will tell you this is NOT a macro 101 pod. Listen in for a brief new framework around macronutrients that sets the stage for our topic of the day. 

Time to go BEYOND the macros, baby. (While also still very much considering them too…)

Listen in to figure out why understanding the complementary nature of each can lead to positive health outcomes.

Well hello! Welcome back to EBTL :)

Today on the pod we are diving into the incredibly important concept of *limiting variables*

Consider claims being made by diet culture, wellness culture and conventional medicine for the best solutions to our problems… often times we can either feel like everything with our health is in our control, only to be followed by guilt, shame, and burden when what we change never works or that we can’t handle or afford everything we need to apply..

Or conversely, we otherwise can feel complacent and quick to jump on medications or blame symptoms on things like "getting older" …

This episode is breaking down what you can do to figure out what you need to prioritize to get empowered with your own health by becoming your own n-1 experiment. Enjoy!

Join in the conversation today while we break down the ins, outs, challenges, myths, and indications of/for Intuitive Eating: an anti-diet approach to health that looks to untangle the wiring of diet and wellness culture while recognizing the psychological AND physiological drivers of our intake.

Is intuitive eating just eating whenever and whatever you want?

Is IE just being complacent with your health and body for the sole purpose of improving your relationship with food?

Can you do IE while wanting to lose weight?

Do you learn about nutrition when doing IE?

OHHH the questions I get go on and on…

Today we discuss the 10 principles and what it looks like to go through the process of learning intuitive eating, go over who this approach is most appropriate for, and breakdown misconceptions and myths around the approach.

This was a fun one and SUPER valuable! Listen in :)

Come hang today while I break down this important four phase process of shifting your health WHILE improving your relationship with food.

So often people are honing for the tips and tricks that will improve their health and relationship with food, but then find it only gets them so far…

if we do not take a holistic approach like this, OR if we just don’t UNDERSTAND the layers and STEPS needed, we are often stuck in a confusing and frustrating cycle of not knowing HOW or IF we can do more for our health, and fearing the overwhelm and triggers of what we “should” do.

Ya’ll, there is a PROCESS. There are considerations at every phase - physically and psychologically. There is mindset. There is skillset. There is knowledge.

THIS is how we shift.

Weight, health, and nutrition have had a lot of overlapping considerations over the years. 

If we keep engraining this correlation between weight and health, and calories and weight, we create a calorie obsession vs nutrient understanding. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

Weight and health, let’s be clear, are not mutually inclusive, nor are they mutually exclusive, and when we go down rabbit holes of black-and-white narratives with the two, we feed a lot of fear, misconceptions and confusion around what the hell to do for our own selves and health.

So let’s get into this

Disclaimer: I am a dietitian - and NO this pod is not all about defending ALL dietitians. ;) It is about gaining clarity and perspective on why what you see in the media or what you hear from you neighbor - may actually have a little *Nuance* AND to give you a behind the scenes look at the layers considered when improving ones dietary habits.

Join me today as I cover a topic I have been wanting to DIG into for a while but just got a nice catalyst nudge from the recent Washington Post article discussing the anti-diet movement…

I find that there is a LOT of distrust with dietitians out thereand I want to help ya’ll get behind the scenes so you can gain more clarity around WHY this “NONSENSE” is out there ;)

This may be one of my MOST important podcasts to date. Whether you love dietitians and/or the anti-diet approach or have massive skepticism around it all - it is a must listen for a breakdown of it all.

Join me today as I dive into a topic near and dear to my type one diabetic heart: blood sugar foundations! We are discussing what blood sugar is, what regulates it, and what you can do to better manage your own and WHY you may care BEYOND metabolic diseases like diabetes.

We are ALSO taking a look at insulin resistance, the pros/cons of continuous glucose monitors, and how to approach blood sugars mindfully without rigidity and obsession.

Whether you are aware of the anxiety, stress, emotional, out-of-control eating tendencies you have around certain foods or certain situations, if you have found yourself on the other side of intake with the whole "what the heck just happened?" OR if you just find yourself confused with why you are SO hungry when you feel you just can't be satiated.... this is for YOU. 

We are taking a deep dive into physiological and psychological layers of different types of binges to help build an UNDERSTANDING for your behavior and create ACTION items for intervention thereafter. 

The amount of people I work with that are like "yep, relate to that, and that, and that one..." is vast - and it can be SO helpful to create clarity vs feeling like a crazy person every time you feel like you have anxiety around intake that makes you feel uncomfortable, confused, or even guilty or ashamed from intake. 

Let get into seven types of binges, pulled from this book:
