Dr. Jillian Lampert joins Cristina and Dana to talk about the concept of nutritional chaos, and how this can fuel disordered eating patterns, gut issues, and a continual state of fight-or-flight in the body. We discuss how malnourishment due to gut issues, chronic dieting, disordered eating, and eating disorders can negatively impact our ability to function, and how nutritional sensationalism contributes to normalizing disordered eating behaviors.

Cristina interviews Diana Rice from @anti.diet.kids on how to troubleshoot kids nutrition in a diet culture obsessed world. We dive into how to navigate your internal healthism voice that influences the way you feed your child, how positive encouragement can accidentally create a food hierarchy, and how having a narrow view of ‘healthy’ for our children can create a lot of internal parental pressure. It's really easy to get stuck in over complicating meal times, and this can create negative pressure on ourselves and our children. How can we create a ‘healthy’ relationship with food in your home without compromising mental and emotional health?

Cristina and Dana are back after a podcast summer break! We know that the back to school & fall season can bring up the desire to want to get ‘back on track’ with a rigid routine, and a lot of perfectionism and stress can accompany that. This fall we’re focusing on bringing you episodes on different pillars of health and how we can approach them with a whole-hearted eating, add-in mentality, rather than the typical all-or-nothing eliminate all the things mentality.  In the meantime, we recommend listening to: How to get back on track without dieting or restriction

Our guest today is Alyssa Chang, who specializes in neuroscience health coaching with a trauma-informed approach; which focuses on creating safety to provide an optimal healing space. We chat about the nervous system and how our body responds to threats (aka stress) with the fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses. Alyssa also dives deep into what happens in the body when our stress or threat bucket gets full, and what we can do about it with some practical, brain-based action steps.
