    • 13: Gym Culture with Leah & Marley from Campus Rec


      "It's been important to me through the duration of my career to help empower women and folks who just don't see themselves in the weight room. It doesn't even necessarily have to be women, but to help empower them with the knowledge and confidence to go in and occupy space in the weight room."-- Leah Callovini

      Show Details:

      Leah and Marley are on the podcast today and we are discussing women in the weight room and why gym spaces can feel frustrating at times, for all genders and specifically those that don't feel as represented.  Historically women are more subject to bias in fitness culture, we explore that and unpack some ways the Rec is making their space one were everyone feels welcome and has the options they need to feel their best!

      • 12: Intuitive Eating with Megan Meyer, MPH, RDN

        "My favorite way to describe it [Intuitive Eating] is it's really just the self care framework for eating. So it's a way to eat that is really self compassionate, it's weight neutral, it really focuses on how food makes us feel when we are nourished and we get enough to eat, but also when we enjoy eating." - Megan Meyer

        Show Details:

        Today we are talking to Megan about Intuitive Eating! Megan is from Northern Arizona University and works on campus bringing health and wellness topics to all. She gives some great examples of how to use the intuitive eating framework, ways students can get started and just be more gentle with themselves! This is a great one people!

                  • 7: Campus Health Dietitians on the Record

                    Today we are joined by all three Campus Health Dietitians. They are answering common nutrition questions asked by students/people. This conversation is fun and they aren't holding back! Enjoy!


                    As Christy mentions in the show, if anyone knows food, Dietitians know food.


                    "Learn to be your own best expert, like really working and being attuned to your own body and what works and what doesn't work and what helps you function your best during the day, because no one knows your body like you know your body."- Lisa MacDonald

                    "Keep up that curiosity, not only with foods that you're eating that may already be prepared, but try new foods that maybe you've heard about and haven't tried yet and take that curiosity into the kitchen and prepare your own foods, because that's all part of self care."-- Christy Wilson


                    "...Food is so much more than just numbers and things that we put in our body that it's it's our culture, it's love, it's comfort, it's community, there's just so much more to food than what it says on the back of the food label." - Ashley Munro

                    • 6: Plant-Based Nutrition with Dr. Duncan

                      Today Dr. Duncan from the College of Public Health joins us to talk about the course he teaches to college students and the overall theme of the benefits of plant-based nutrition as part of your daily patterns!  There is great information in this episode and got us all thinking about living a balanced life! 


                      " You're all born with genes that you didn't have any choice about getting, but you got them. But you do have a choice about what happens to them. You can turn them on or you can prevent them from getting turned on and so on, this course we're going to talk about two things that I think are very essential in turning on or upping the risk of these conditions..... Chronic stress and what you put in your mouth..."- Dr. Duncan

                        Phil Lewis joins us to talk about his role in the Arizona Athletics department, his journey to becoming a sports dietitian and ways student athletes and active folks in general can keep nourishing simple!

                        "I think it's important you continue to fuel the body throughout the day because you can only process and utilize so much at one time. And when I say well balanced, I always tell our athletes have all four, your carbohydrates, protein, fruit, vegetable and some fluids."- Phil Lewis, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS
