What does your brain say when you try to set a new, lofty goal? Something you’ve never tried or accomplished before? It searches it’s “Google” and validates that no, you have not done this before and gives you self doubt about doing it in the future. So how do you hack this?

Welcome to body image month on The Less Stressed Life Podcast. We’re kicking off with another chat with my long time friend and colleague Emily Field, RD about bridging the gap between body acceptance and wanting to change body shape or size. She strongly believes that we can pursue body composition goals from a place of self-love.

"Be so rooted in your reasons for wanting to change your body, shape, and size, or whatever might that look like. Be so so strong about that and feel confident about that; enough so you could verbalize it to yourself and you could verbalize it to your practitioners to help you get there."

Like every convo with her, I loved this episode. 

Here are some of the key takeaways:

• [05:30] Signs of no self-love
• [07:36] Vanity-driven goals
• [10:09] Setting expectations to more body love
• [18:47] Way of eating to loving your body
• [20:13] Right exercise to body love

Mentioned in this episode:

• Louise Hay 
• The Chemistry of Calm Book by Dr. Henry Emmons
• The Chemistry of Joy Book by Dr. Henry Emmons
• Brain over Binge Book by Kathryn Hansen

Emily Field is a Registered Dietitian who teaches a mindful macros approach to help women ditch nonsense food rules and depriving diet behaviors - for good. Her clients are finding it liberating to focus on how much they can do, instead of how much they weigh, when they fuel and support their body appropriately.

What you don’t necessarily HEAR in this week’s episode with my girl Emily Field, RD, is my excessive head nodding in agreement and scribbling in my notes “everyone that works out and EVERY RD student needs to listen to this episode!!!"

Rakhi Roy Chowdhury is an actress-turned dietitian whose own challenges with her skin flareups on-screen prevented her from continuing to book more work. This leads her to seek out the counsel of a Dietitian in her 20s when her own allergist said she couldn't help her anymore and her dermatologists mismanaged her eczema over the years. Rakhi holds a Master’s degree in Dietetics & Nutrition and is currently a corporate wellness and consultant clinical dietitian. She sees patients with HIV at her state Department of Health and provides functional nutrition counseling for skin and gut disorders in her virtual private practice.
