I loved this episode with Maria so much. It speaks to your SOUL, that's just how Maria is. At the end of the episode, I ask Maria about why taking FBPP was different than listening to the podcast, which she has been listening since the VERY beginning, since 2017!

You'll have to listen in to hear Maria's answer, but one of the things her answer made me reflect on is the why behind why I transitioned the program (from when it was formally called Permission Stage Playbook) from an online course to instead a cohort style, group coaching program where we only enroll 3-4 times a year with a limited amount of students each enrollment period.

My why is because I care, deeply. I don't want you to take an online course to absorb 15% of it, and apply absolutely nothing. I want you to go through the material, participate in the support group, show up for the group calls and actually create change in your life!

Our last round of FBPP in the spring had a 84% completion of course material. To compare this, I found a study from 2018 that shared the average completion rate of online courses was 15%! That's not even measuring the group coaching component of the program, which is the most highly rated part of the program.

In this episode we also discuss the differences between WHY to change versus HOW to change. And if you're ready for the how through education, support and accountability, you can click here to learn more about Food & Body Peace Playbook.

We have officially closed the doors to our July cohort, however, you can go ahead and apply now to reserve your spot for our most popular group, our October cohort. Click here to learn more!

In today's episode we debunk 4 common misconceptions about intuitive eating so that you can have clarity about what intuitive eating is all about.

Do you have duct tape on your broken relationship with food and your body?

If you do, and if this broken relationship is just getting worse as you try to determine how to fix it…and if you've been stuck at the 'let me try to fix this myself' place for awhile: This is your sign. It's time to ask for help. It's time to receive the support, accountability and momentum you need to heal your relationship with food and your body.

Food & Body Peace Playbook will help you do exactly that. Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) is our signature 8 week online group coaching program that will help you make peace with food, trust your body again and live wellness without obsession. And what this means to you is by joining our July cohort, you'll feel at ease that you've asked for the help you know you need.

FBPP is open from today until July 24th or until all spots are filled. Click here to get started and reach out on Instagram if you have questions about the program!

Today on the podcast we have yet another special guest, Melissa! Melissa participated in our April cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP), and is on the show today sharing her experience going through the program. You'll hear Melissa share how she started dieting around 8 years old, how she learned about intuitive eating as a mental health therapist, and why she decided FBPP was a great fit for her needs.

You'll also hear me share about how learning how to ride a bike and learning the intuitive eating process is so similar. Sure, you can learn how to ride a bike by reading about it, heck even listen to podcast episodes about it. But that cannot compare to actually getting on a bike and riding it! FBPP is how you will get on the bike, actually applying what you learn in your intuitive eating journey, so that you can meet your goals.

FBPP is an 8 week group program that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know in order to make peace with food, and also your body.

You're a great fit for FBPP if:

• You want more mental space and freedom from thinking about food & your body 24/7, so you can focus on the things in life that truly matter.
• You may still have the desire to lose weight, but you know the diets and clean eating schemes have gotten you nowhere, so you're ready for a new approach to eating and health.
• You may be a little nervous to make peace with food & your body, but you're ready to trust your body again and change the way you view food.
• You want to understand how to eat and care for your body, without the food and 'fix my body' obsession.
• You have tried to figure out Intuitive Eating on your own, you may have even read the book, but doing this on your own has caused so much confusion and overwhelm.
• You're ready to receive guidance and accountability from our expert team and the other like-minded women who join Food & Body Peace Playbook.
• You want to change your relationship with food and your body so that you can be a good example to those around you (especially your children).

Are you ready for pro health, pro nutrition advice and SUPPORT on how to live in a peaceful place with food and your body? FBPP is open from today until July 22d or until all spots are filled. Click here to get started and reach out on Instagram if you have questions about the program!

When people here anti diet here's what they hear: Anti health. Anti nutrition. Anti vegetables. In this episode, we will talk about one of the concepts of intuitive eating to help you understand why there's so much misinformation about this self care eating framework: Making peace with food.

Making peace with food involves giving yourself unconditional permission to eat. People take this to mean: you're going to be eating every second of every day, eating foods you deem unhealthy forever. Honestly, when I hear this response, I know without a doubt, that the person sharing this concern is struggling with diet mentality.

Making peace with food is a powerful experience. And I would argue is one of the most health promoting things we can do for ourselves! FBPP is an 8 week group program that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know in order to make peace with food, and also your body.

You're a great fit for FBPP if:

• You want more mental space and freedom from thinking about food & your body 24/7, so you can focus on the things in life that truly matter.
• You may still have the desire to lose weight, but you know the diets and clean eating schemes have gotten you nowhere, so you're ready for a new approach to eating and health.
• You may be a little nervous to make peace with food & your body, but you're ready to trust your body again and change the way you view food.
• You want to understand how to eat and care for your body, without the food and 'fix my body' obsession.
• You have tried to figure out Intuitive Eating on your own, you may have even read the book, but doing this on your own has caused so much confusion and overwhelm.

• You want to change your relationship with food and your body so that you can be a good example to those around you (especially your children).

Today's episode is SO special because today on the show I have a member of our April cohort Food & Body Peace Playbook, Lara!

Inside this episode, you'll learn how Lara first worked with us inside Get Your Period Back Playbook, and then decided to continue on in her intuitive eating journey by joining our signature group coaching program, Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP).

FBPP is an 8 week online group coaching program that will help you make peace with food, trust your body again and live wellness WITHOUT obsession. What that means to you is you will feel CONFIDENT in your food choices and at ease about your health.

Inside of FBPP, we host 5 group coaching calls over the 8 weeks of the online course so that you can get consistent support in your health journey.

In fact, according to a study completed by the American Society of Training and Development people who commit to their goals with a group of other people, are 95% more likely to achieve those goals.

This is just ONE of the many reasons we believe our students in FBPP hae such success in reaching their goals. Listen to learn more and hear Lara's experience inside this program!

FBPP is open from today until July 22d or until all spots are filled. Click here to get started and reach out on Instagram if you have questions about the program!

In the beginning, 10 years ago, I was totally sold on it. I so firmly believed that people could live off the 1,200 calories diets I was giving them. That they lacked discipline when they didn't stick to the plan. I was judgmental of OTHERS eating habits because I was JUDGING MYSELF.

Overtime, I woke up to the realities of the negative impacts of dieting. Now, my business helps undo those damages.

We teach women and people how to make peace with food and trust their bodies again. I know if I'm helping someone who chronically diets, or restricts and binge eats, or who has disordered eating/orthorexia that I'm helping them, not harming them.

And that's why Food & Body Peace Playbook (FBPP) exists. FBPP is an 8 week online group coaching program that will help you make peace with food, trust your body again and live wellness WITHOUT obsession.

What that means to you is you will feel CONFIDENT in your food choices and at ease about your health.

This is the body you're going to live in the rest of your life. When your 80 years old, how do you want to look back and reflect on how you treated your body? If that resonates I want you to know:

• Stop the dieting, for good.
• Learn how to eat FOREVER.
• Stop the body hatred and mean girl self talk.
• Start respecting and trusting your body again.
• Live life FULLY and embrace wellness without obsession.

FBPP is open for our July cohort TODAY. Its open from today until July 22d or until all spots are filled. Click here to get started and reach out on Instagram if you have questions about the program!

Dietitian at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, Megan Perez, is back on the show today! In today's episode, Megan guides us through a better understanding of what fiber is, sources of fiber in the diet and the health benefits of fiber.

Since Megan works with clients on gentle nutrition, especially for her PCOS clients with some degree of insulin resistance; it's fun to discuss health promoting practices such as adding fiber to your diet! However we still see many clients who come to us consuming too much fiber. We have a lot of people who come to us with digestive concerns such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and so with these clients, we always assess their fiber intake. So in this episode we help you understand how much fiber is too much fiber, so you can determine the amount that feels best for you.

Have you personally or known of someone who has taken a food sensitivity test? And have you ever noticed that overtime, for many people, the results dissipate? That they may even cause anxiety or worry about the foods they are intolerant to?

Today, I want to discuss why I don't like nor recommend food sensitivity testing. This is definitely a tricky subject. What I'm not trying to do in this episode is take away your body autonomy. If they have worked for you. Or if you have genuine food intolerances, I'm not saying that is wrong.

You are going to have to be the ultimate decision maker. You are the expert of your own body! Listen to today's episode to learn more about food sensitivity testing.

Lauren Cadillac is a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, certified personal trainer and retired bodybuilder. She owns and operates a virtual private practice where she helps individuals from all over the world heal their relationship with food.

Rather than focusing on a number on the scale or strict food rules, Lauren takes an approach to nutrition that encourages behaviors that support physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Her client's progress and success is measured not by weight, but instead by more relevant markers of health such as energy levels, sleep, digestion and mood. She teach my clients the Intuitive Eating framework so that they can heal their relationship with food and become the expert of their own bodies.
