Embody Food Freedom

How long have you been waiting to feel your best? Do you feel like you have to change your body FIRST before you can feel or be healthy? 

This week a client of mine said to me, “I’m taking actions to feel healthy now and am no longer waiting to lose 20 lbs first.” And this shift made her feel so much more empowered than being stuck in the narrative of, “I just need to wait until my body is smaller, then I can do the things in alignment to how I want to live my life.” And I want to chat with you about it!

‘Nervous system regulation’ has become a buzzword these days. And while it’s becoming more and more trendy, I truly believe a regulated nervous system is at the core of healing – whether it’s your relationship with food, body image, or anything else in your life. 

Our guest, Savana Antonation, MSW, RSW, is a body image therapist who helps women rewire their mind & nervous system so they can heal their body image and leave the diet cycle for good. Savana has her own history of chronic dieting, body image struggles, and learning to make peace with her body after being diagnosed with PCOS and experiencing weight gain.

We’re diving into all things regulating your nervous system to heal and improve your body image!

Maybe you know a little about binge eating and overeating, but you’re still feeling stuck. In this episode, I wanted to shed light on some unexpected reasons that you might be binge eating or overeating. These things are not nearly talked about enough, and I hope that this brings you more clarity on your journey. 

Once you understand these pieces of the puzzle of overcoming your struggles with food, you’re able to see the path forward of what you need to do to break free. My friend, it’s about time you break free! And I’m here to help you do just that.

Do you feel like you’re only worthy of doing certain things if you eat “well”? Or do you feel like you’re only deserving of rest if you’ve already done a certain type of workout? OR do you feel like can’t embody or have confidence until your body is smaller, different, or more toned?

If you said yes to any of the above (or if you’re thinking “I’ve never thought of that, maybe!”) then chances are you may be tying your self-worth to food & your body. This is something that many of my clients (and my past self included) struggle with. It’s what diet culture and society at large teach us to think like – you need to “prove” your worthiness by eating “good,” exercising “the right way,” or having your body look a certain way. 

That ends here. It’s time to remember that you’re inherently worthy of all the things that you desire, no changes required.

Have you ever wondered if its actually possible to overcome the urges to binge? Our guest in this episode, Lorna Costa, shares all about her journey to show you that overcoming the urge to binge is truly possible. If you’ve ever felt like you just need ‘more control’ over your eating to stop your struggles with binge eating, there’s a different way. The key is learning how to manage your binges and rewire your brain, one urge at a time.

How has the focus on weight loss worked out for you so far? Does it actually “work” in the long run? Or do you end up “falling off the wagon” and right back into that dreaded diet-binge cycle?

If trying to focus on losing weight is making you feel like you want to bang your head against the wall, this episode is for you! I’m diving into how you can go about achieving health, wellness, happiness, confidence, etc. without having weight loss be the goal. (Hint: yes, all of that IS possible)

Anxiety. Perfectionism. Low-self esteem. These are all things you may have experienced along your food freedom journey (I know I have!). Whether it shows up in the form of worry about your food choices, needing to feel a sense of control with food, having unrealistically high expectations of yourself, trying to motivate yourself through sham and self criticism, all-or-nothing thinking, or feeling like a failure – we talk about it all in this episode! 

We truly dive DEEP into uncovering what’s really going on beneath anxiety, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. And of course, our lovely guest, Dr. Regina Lazarovich, PhD, shares tips with you about how to navigate these things as they show up on your journey to heal your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

I’ll take any opportunity to call out diet culture BS when I see it. The recent Washington Post article “As obesity rises, Big Food and dietitians push ‘anti-diet’ advice” has quite frankly p*ssed me off, and I want to talk about it with you! There is a large systemic issue at hand when it comes to Intuitive Eating, Health At Every Size (HAES), and weight-inclusive non-diet work. Biased publications, like the Washington Post, are spreading ignorant and misinformed information about what “anti-diet” really means. 

This makes me the most frustrated because I can only imagine how confusing it must be to see headlines like this when you are someone who is trying to pursue your relationship with food & body healing journey. So in this episode, I want to set the record straight. Let’s dive into some big myth busting about anti-diet work!
