Let Us Eat Cake

In this week's episode Hannah and Ali talk all things pregnancy. No, this isn't a pregnancy announcement and since neither Hannah or Ali have any lived experience with pregnancy they asked their dear friend and mama-to-be, the incredible Registered Dietitian Jenna Werner to join them for this episode. Jenna uses her passion for nutrition, her lens as an anti-diet dietitian and her own experiences navigating a changing pregnancy body to help answer these listener questions. What do I do when I can't even look at a vegetable during pregnancy? How do I balance the need to increase my protein and calcium intake when I don't feel like eating anything apart from animal crackers? Any advice on how to tolerate the changes to my body without returning to my old habits of controlling food? Is it true that you should watch your carbohydrate intake during pregnancy to avoid gestational diabetes and not gain too much weight? Is "eating for two" really a thing? Grab your pickles and your peanut butter and tune in for another awesome episode. Even pregnancy isn't free from the influence of diet culture and Hannah, Ali and Jenna are here to kick that BS out of the delivery room. This episode is sure to ease your worries and help make your pregnancy (or future pregnancy) a happy, healthy and diet rule free time in your life.

In this week's episode Hannah and Ali talk all things the gut. Dietitians LOVE talking about poop, but we simply couldn't do another episode about digestion without calling Registered Dietitian and digestive health guru, Desiree Nielsen. Desiree is a leader (if not THE leader) in the field of chronic digestive and inflammatory disease so she is the perfect guest to answer all your questions about bloating, gas and the path food takes from gum to bum. Are there different types of IBS? What's the difference between SIBO and IBS? Can you cure digestive woes with food? What the heck is the gut microbiome? Is there actually a connection between what goes on in your gut and your energy levels or mental health? How do I manage a diet where I am constipated on one end and poop my pants on the other? Digestive issues are no joke and issues with your tummy can make day to day life feel hard to manage. Join Hannah, Ali and Desiree as they talk all about going number 2… so your relationship with your digestion and your body can go back to being number 1. This is the episode so many of you asked for, and trust us, it's one of the best ones yet!

In this week's episode Hannah and Ali talk all things set point. Talking about letting go of controlling your weight can bring up a lot of thoughts, feelings and fears, and we knew there was no better expert to answer your questions than Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian and fellow anti-diet crusader Haley Goodrich. What the heck is set point theory? How do you even know if you're at your set point? Why is it so bad to keep your weight stable through diet and exercise if you have a normal BMI? Is your highest weight your set point? If I lose fat and gain muscle, and stay at this same weight, will I still be at my set point? Listen, we get that trusting your body can feel overwhelming and scary, so we're here to give you the facts, encouragement and reassurance you may need to ditch the scale. Hannah and Ali could not be more thrilled to have the impeccable Haley Goodrich on the episode to drown out the fat fearing, diet culture noise and impart her wisdom for all.

In this week's episode Hannah and Ali talk all things weight loss for chronic illness. The incredible Anna Sweeney joins the conversation and uses her signature no nonsense approach and her lived experience as a disabled dietitian to answer your most pressing questions about chronic illness. Is it okay to pursue weight loss if the goal is to improve my chronic illness? A health practitioner has told me to lose 5% of my body weight- how do I do that as a busy mom? Should I avoid gluten, sugar, dairy and processed foods if I have chronic fatigue? Do healthy food and exercise prevent diabetes, cancer, heart disease and more? Isn't it true that food is medicine? Struggling with chronic illness can be confusing and scary, and it makes sense to have questions. Spoiler alert: weight loss and dieting are not the answer. Hannah, Ali and Anna will say it loud and say it proud- there is no body size that is exempt from chronic illness and there are no illnesses found exclusively in larger bodies. The wellness industry wants us to blame our bodies and this week's episode is a one, two punch to knock out that message once and for all.

Lindsay is the creator of the Make Food Feel Good Again and the 321 Method programs designed to provide you the tools to successfully plan, prep and eat meals with ease. You asked, Hannah, Ali and Lindsay answered: Meal planning feels so overwhelming, where do I start? How do I prevent meal prep burnout? Is it possible to meal plan and eat intuitively? How do I know if a meal is healthy without following diet rules? Dieting brings rules, rigidity and restrictions which no one has time for in 2021.

In this week's episode Hannah and Ali talk all things fitness. 'Tis the season for diet culture to tell you your body is wrong, so Hannah and Ali team up with body positive, certified personal trainer Kira Onysko and answer your fitness questions. How do I deal with friends and family talking about burning off their Christmas indulgences? How do I reintroduce exercise into my life when it has been obsessive or harmful in the past? How do I incorporate more movement into my lifestyle if I don't enjoy the typical ways to exercise? We have barely rested our heads after Christmas Day and the diet culture machine wants to make sure we have a plan to make up for the "mistakes" we have made. If 2020 has taught us anything it is that nothing is predictable... except for diet culture which obviously hasn't read the memo, and keeps dishing out the same BS. Diet culture is a basic b and Hannah and Ali are excited to have Kira join this episode to give us all the permission we need to leave shame based exercise in the past.

In this week's episode Hannah and Ali talk all things intuitive eating… again! There were so many incredible questions on the topic of intuitive eating that Hannah and Ali had to record two episodes. This week they invited their friend, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and Registered Dietitian Claire Chewning to help them out! Is intuitive eating just another fad diet? Isn't it important to only eat certain foods in moderation? Isn't it unhealthy to have limitless amounts of certain foods, especially ones with preservatives or super-processing? If I were to start intuitive eating tomorrow what should my first steps be? Understanding and practicing all the intuitive eating principles is necessary to find food freedom, experience joy and pleasure with eating, and to ultimately break up with the limiting beliefs of diet culture. It can feel scary to free yourself from these rigid rules, but we promise it's worth it. Join Hannah, Ali and Claire as they help you take that first step!
