Georgia Foster is a self-proclaimed Alcohol, Self Esteem & Anxiety Reduction Expert & clinical hypnotherapist and today we’re chatting about alcohol. Specifically, we’re getting into the emotional issues that can come up when alcohol is used as a coping mechanism (um, hello 2020), the different personality traits that come up with drinking, including the perfectionist, the people pleaser, and the inner critic. Finally, we discuss why the all-or-nothing diet mentality that applies both to food and alcohol is so detrimental, and why cutting out alcohol completely will not solve all the issues of the casual drinker.

On today’s podcast we’re going in a little bit of a different direction from the last few weeks – when we’ve been talking about neutral nutrition approaches to healing hormonal imbalances – and we’re going to be talking about relationships. Relationships with others, attachment styles, what those can tell us about our relationships with ourselves, people pleasing, and boundaries. We’re also chatting about how body image and dating, and how having a negative body image can affect dating and relationships.

Dr. Becky Campbell is a functional medicine practitioner who is sharing her personal health journey through sickness with conventional medicine to health with functional medicine on the podcast today. I originally aired this episode 2 years ago (what?!) but it’s so rich in detail and helpful for those with thyroid conditions, adrenal issues, and leaky gut – so I wanted to air it again! We’re diving into the causes of thyroid dysfunction, hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue, and why we need to go so much more beyond food for true healing, from stress management, to healing gut and liver issues, other hormonal imbalances, addressing heavy metal toxicity or parasites, and the list goes on. We’re chatting about the most common triggers of hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, and hashimoto’s disease, how to use food for healing with thyroid disease and other hormonal imbalances, and what labs to ask your doctor for if you suspect you have thyroid issues.

DISCLAIMER: Dr. Campbell talks about a specific healing dietary protocol for hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and hashimoto’s – this is one of those circumstances where it may be helpful to remove certain foods for healing if you have a diagnosis of thyroid disease. However, if you have any history of disordered eating, chronic yo-yo dieting, or an eating disorder AND a diagnosis like thyroid disease, you should DEFINITELY work with a practitioner who specializes in thyroid conditions and a non-diet approach to healing to make sure you don’t fall back into old patterns. 

We discuss: 

Dr. Becky’s personal health journey through sickness with conventional medicine to health with functional medicine

The multiple functions of the thyroid gland (way beyond metabolism!)

The difference between hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and hashimoto’s

The connection between leaky gut, thyroid issues, and low stomach acid

Connections between the thyroid and adrenal fatigue 

The most important nutrients to support thyroid health and why 

Healing thyroid hormone imbalances with food

What labs to ask your doctor for if you suspect you have thyroid issues

Today’s guest is Jenni Hulburt and we’re chatting about balancing hormones, energy levels and the menstrual cycle, and how to avoid overtraining and burnout for women. We’re talking about the phases of the cycle with corresponding considerations for movement and training, including the best time of the month to maximize your workout, when to give yourself permission to rest, and the different hormonal balances you can expect in each phase of the cycle.

On today’s episode you’ll learn more about: 

* What are the most common signs of overtraining? What about burnout?

* What does overtraining do to your hormones – sex hormones, cortisol, etc.?

* If you are burned out – what are the *worst* types of movement or exercise you can do

* How we can use the information of our monthly cycles to sync up movement that best supports our bodies for that time of the month.

* What if you don’t have a typical menstrual cycle, or a missing cycle?

We’re back with a return guest to talk all things body positivity and liberation, myths about intuitive eating, and how different types of restriction are holding you back from achieving true food freedom and peace! We’re also chatting about why complimenting weight loss is damaging. I’m thrilled to welcome back Kirsten Ackerman to the show, who is the dietitian and creator behind the Intuitive RD! Kirsten also had a new book come out last month, called the Intuitive Eating Plan that I know you guys are going to love – it’s a great, fresh new introduction to the intuitive eating framework, especially for those who are new to the IE world. Kirsten breaks down common myths about intuitive eating and health, understanding emotional eating, and why diet culture wrecks our relationship with food and our trust with our bodies. She provides some great reflection exercises throughout the book to dive deeper into your own relationship with food and your body, and guides you towards finding food peace through the intuitive eating framework.

We’re talking about the pitfalls of conventional treatment, the different subtypes of eczema and what those types can tell us about the best, root cause way to treat it, and the major roadblocks to healing eczema and other skin conditions. Then, we’re diving into the weeds about a non-diet approach to healing skin conditions. While a popular, non-steroid approach or food as medicine ‘prescription’ is to cut out a bunch of different foods and do an elimination diet, Christa talks about the dangers of long term food restriction in healing eczema or any other condition.

Today’s interview guest is Majo Molfino, the host of the HEROINE podcast, a woman’s leadership guide, and the author of Break The Good Girl Myth: How to Dismantle Outdated Rules, Unleash Your Power, and Design a More Purposeful Life. On today’s episode we’re chatting about the main good girl myths, what the patriarchy actually is, and how the internalized patriarchy expresses itself in women and holds us back.

At the beginning of the show (0:30 – 4:00) I’m giving and update on the #AmplifyMelenatedVoices challenge I participated in last week, and how I will be incorporating anti-racism work into my brand and the show. Because breaking down diet culture and learning to accept your body is a social justice issue. And we can’t show up fully to do this ESSENTIAL anti-racism work in the first place, if we’re solely focused on shrinking ourselves and fitting into unrealistic societal standards of beauty, of what we “should” be eating, doing, acting, and looking like as womxn. 

I plan to continue my content about neutral nutrition, how to improve our body image, our relationship with food, and kicking diet culture to the curb so we can live fully and freely. AND incorporating anti-racism work. To elevate the voices of those whose shoes I can never walk in. Supporting black creators. Holding myself accountable. Educating myself and sharing what I’m learning. 

Links Mentioned in the intro:

“There is no dismantling of diet culture without first neutralizing the power structures that undergird the social foundations of white supremacy. Then, and only then, will we be able to begin the process of rendering diet culture obsolete.” – Ayanna Habtemariam, MSW, RDN (@thetrillrd)

Taylor Kiser is our guest on today’s episode! We’re chatting about her history of chronic dieting and eating disorders, and how that played a part in starting her food blog – and how that has evolved over the years to a more non-restrictive approach to food. We’re talking about orthorexia, what happens when people take eating healthy “too far”, and navigating food labels in a non-diet lifestyle from a food blogger’s perspective!
