On this week’s episode we’re discussing - are you addicted to cortisol? It’s been a while since we did an entire episode on burnout, so we’re diving right in. Are you burnt out and you don’t even know it? Or are you totally burnt out and have no idea what to do about it? We’re talking about what it means to be functionally dysregulated; when you can’t relax and chill OR you’re catatonic and doom scrolling when you finally get an opportunity to sit. We also talk about the different stages of burnout, and what people try to do to get out of burnout that actually pushes them further into it.

On today’s episode we’re talking relationship with food, body image and body neutrality in dietetics from olympic athlete and soon to be dietitian Jordan Delacruz. Today we’re talking about - wow do you balance the principles of intuitive eating, non-diet, and supporting positive body image while in a weight class dependent sport? Jordan talks about her personal experience as a professional athlete and how weight class sports can be a very toxic culture of negative self talk, extreme dieting or weight control practices, and how she’s working to navigate this and create a more positive culture.

How can help the wheels get back on the bus in a non-diet, non-restrictive way, without any 30-day protocols or even 7-day "resets?"

We’re back for another bonus episode to talk about books & summer reading recommendations! Dana and Kara are back to talk about their favorite books of the year so far, biggest disappointments, plus – what they’re most looking forward to reading the rest of the year, including most anticipated releases! ICYMI: Check out the recording...

On today’s episode we’re chatting about - how to fix your body image in the summer: whole-hearted eating edition. We’ve been conditioned to believe our bodies are broken and they need to be fixed; and the only way to fix this is to change our bodies so we’re more comfortable with the way that they look. But we know that these methods are always very restrictive, and never lead to a sustainable outcome that actually makes us feel better - because changing your body won’t fix your body image. You can’t diet your way out of bad body image. So what can we do instead? Enter the Whole-Hearted Eating approach!
