  • Ep 139: 3 Ways To Reclaim Your Body and Be Nourished

    Hola amigos! Welcome back!

    Are you fighting your body? Tune in to learn how to stop the war on your body and reclaim it for yourself! Through allowing ourselves to be nourished, we can stop the war and start thriving.

    Highlights of this episode:

    • What is nourishment? 
    • The Be Nourished approach and why it’s needed
    • Embodiment and disembodiment
    • Body Trust® framework 
    • How to reclaim your body

    Episode Summary:

    What is nourishment? Nourishment is about food and ways in which we act upon food. When we are at war with our bodies, we are not providing it nourishment.The Be Nourished approach was formed by Hilary and Dana out of the failures of the traditional weight loss as self-care treatment plan. Diet culture has inserted itself to help you war against your body. Because we are all born with a natural embodiment and intuitiveness, we don’t need diet culture’s messages and methods. Diet culture creates disembodiment. The framework to step away from that and heal is the Body Trust® framework. Step by step, you can learn how to reclaim your body and be nourished!

  • Ep 135: How Jewel Got Off The Weight-Loss Hamster Wheel Through A Weight-Inclusive Approach

    Hola amigos! Welcome back!

    Seeking weight loss is a hamster wheel! Are you ready to try something different? Jewel was ready for sustainability and self-love. Jewel broke up with diet culture and committed to her weight-inclusive approach to health.

    Highlights of this episode:

    • Childhood messages of weight
    • Weight loss for relationships
    • Dieting cycles
    • Life stressors and dieting
    • Weight inclusive approach to health

    Summary:

    Jewel grew up with messages that her body was unacceptable. This lead to a mix of rebellious behavior and commitments to weight loss programs. Luckily, her therapist recommended David for nutrition. David's approach is very different than most. David likes to focus on the whole person, and makes space for them to reach their own answers. Like Sherpa guiding you up the mountain, you will progress and thrive. Jewel's story is about her own curiosity and self-compassion, and what that ultimately did for her.

    Why does this matter?  Because diet culture SUCKS!

  • Ep 134: Part 2 - The Intersection of Menopause and Nutrition: A Weight-Inclusive Approach with Val Schonberg

    Hola amigos! Welcome back!

    Are you chasing a certain body weight? Did you know your body is supposed to change? Menopause may feel like something to fix and yet, “menopause is a process, not a disease.” Val Schonberg sits down with David to discuss the intersection of menopause and nutrition.

    Highlights of this episode:

    • Menopause and Disordered Eating
    • Menopause and Weight Bias
    • Intersection of Menopause and Nutrition
    • Menopause and Weight Inclusive Approach to Health
    • Body image and Menopause
    • Cultivating Physical and Emotional Well-Being 

    Episode Summary: 

    This is Part 2 of last week’s episode. Disordered eating steals the joy from eating and from our family and friend connections. Menopause is about change and disorder eating can disrupt this process negatively. Even without the presence of an eating disorder, dieting for weight loss is problematic. Weight loss is not recommended after 65 years old for longevity. For our eating, we can prioritize nutritious foods without dieting. Doctors recommending weight loss to anyone can be harmful and short sighted for a person’s health. Val and David discuss nutrition inventions outside of weight, bringing in true self-care during this life change.

  • Ep 133: Part 1 - The Intersection of Menopause and Nutrition: A Weight-Inclusive Approach with Val Schonberg

    Hola amigos! Welcome back!

    Menopause may feel like something to fix and yet, “menopause is a process, not a disease.” Val Schonberg sits down with David to discuss everything menopause.
     
    Highlights of this episode:

    • The stages of menopause
    • Menopause and nutrition
    • Menopause and digestion
    • Body image and menopause
    • Physical and emotional well being

    Episode Summary: 

    Menopause is the end of a woman’s reproductive years, confirmed after one year without mensural cycle. There are three stages of menopause, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Over time, women experience hormone changes, resulting in symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, and fat is stored in the central area - we don’t know why actually. Menopause can be short or up to 10 years. Post-menopausal years without estrogen can mean a decline in bone health, osteopenia, and cholesterol can rise. 

    Just like puberty, there is a process. If women’s life cycles were an airplane ride, puberty is a turbulent ride up and menopause is the landing. Women in menopause and with weight gain will often self-impose food restriction, especially women who have dieted in the past. They get frustrated, because the diets are not working like they have in the past. When women go to the doctor, the LDL and cholesterol is higher, they are pre-menopausal, and the BMI is higher. The message becomes the weight gain did this and you are now at risk for other chronic diseases. However, these symptoms can be just the change in hormones, not the BMI or weight.
