March 10, 2020 The Weekly Word: Shaping
Hello TBC Pod Family! I am rolling out a new weekly segment (fingers crossed) called The Weekly Word. I will be taking a word that is important to the practice of Applied Behavior Analysis and explaining it in a way that it can be applied to nutritional behavior! In today's episode we discuss shaping. Shaping is a process by which we reinforce small steps in learning a new skill to get us to the end result! I used the example of cutting an onion for me in this episode and I promised to link the video I watched to help me get better at it. Check that out here. I hope that this series will teach you to think of your nutritional behavior in a new way as well as broaden your ABA terms. As always, I hope we have been helpful to you. Please consider leaving us a 5 star review if you like our content and share us with your friends and family! Until next time!

March 01, 2020 Diet Culture and ACT: A Discussion with Registered Dietitian Paige Smathers
We all know that Diet Culture is huge in America, and the World. How can we deal with the ever growing issues of body image problems, obsessing over food, and cultivating an unhealthy relationship with the food that we eat? One RDN says that looking inward may be the way to go. This week I am joined by Paige Smathers, RDN, and host of the Nutrition Matters Podcast. Paige and I speak on a variety of topics from behavior modification, body image issues, dietary restrictions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the ability to look within ones true-self to distinguish what constitutes a "healthy" relationship with food and diet culture. I hope we can be helpful to you! If you would like to get in touch with Paige here is how you do so:

November 28, 2019 A Conversation with Steven Hayes
Hey all! Happy Thanksgiving from The Behavior Chef Team! I hope you all have a great holiday, (if you celebrate) and hope you have a great day if you don't celebrate! I hope that today's episode will be one that is so valuable to you. At the beginning of October I had the extreme pleasure to interview Dr. Steven Hayes, creator of Relational Frame Theory and more currently, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We discussed several topics including ACT and the application to nutrition, pivoting towards personal success and the details behind his new book A Liberated Mind (which can be found at https://stevenchayes.com/a-liberated-mind/ or anywhere books are sold). My hope for this episode is that you, the listener, get to come along the journey with us to a more vulnerable self-discovery. I know I was able to access a deeper part of myself and relate it to my own personal behavior journey through this conversation with Dr. Hayes and I hope that you can too.
Thanks for Listening!
