When I say “fat,” what comes to mind? Do you think about the fat in food, or the fat in our bodies? Does it have a negative connotation in your mind?
This is the 3rd part of the “Macronutrient Series” where I’m covering the macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein and (you guessed it) FAT!
In this episode we’re digging into fat and what your body fat does for you, as well as the role of fat in your food. If you’ve ever felt like eating high-fat foods is unhealthy, or worried that eating things high in fat was going to cause weight gain or increase your risk of heart disease, then this is the episode for you.
We’re going to break down everything you need to know about fat, and how to approach it from a gentle nutrition standpoint within your intuitive eating journey.
Let’s do this!
Episode Highlights
-What we learned from the low-fat era (besides how bad fat-free salad dressing tastes)
-The difference between fat in food and fat in your body (they’re NOT the same thing)
-Should you worry about “healthy” fats vs “unhealthy” fats?
-How to approach fat within the context of intuitive eating

How can you end the war with your body (and make PEACE with it too)?
When you call a ceasefire, you’re not giving up or “letting yourself go” - you’re learning how to befriend your body and take care of yourself at a much deeper level.
That’s what you’re going to learn from my guest today, Nina Manolson. Nina is a therapist and Body-Peace® coach who brings her 30 years of experience to the table to share how she helps women get off the dieting rollercoaster, and into a compassionate way of eating.
We discuss everything from how to respond to your inner critic, what to do if your closet is a nightmare because nothing in it fits, and what the heck “body peace” is - and how you can find it too.
Nina shares tips and strategies that you can apply, including a powerful exercise that she walks you through to help you reconnect with your body in a more loving way.
Prepare your heart, because this episode is incredible!

In this episode, I’m sharing how my client was able to FINALLY find peace with both food and her body after struggling with dieting, food obsession, forcing herself to exercise, and hating her body for over a decade.
I’m walking you through the exact steps we took, and the strategies I taught her that allowed her to heal her relationship with food, her body and exercise.
If you are struggling with any of these things, then this episode is a *must* listen!
Key Takeaways
1. Dismantling the diet mentality and letting go of dieting behaviors: You’ve got to understand how the diet mentality shows up in your thoughts in order to move away from dieting behaviors (which are often still present even if you’re not “officially” on a diet).
2. Changing the way you eat requires changing the way you think about food: It’s one thing to let yourself eat the foods you consider “unhealthy” - it’s another thing to change how you view these foods and how you feel about yourself for eating them. This is essential for lasting peace with food.
3. Weight and health are not the same thing: You can improve your health without obsessing about weight loss. True health is so much more than this, and by letting go of your weight obsession it opens the door to you addressing your health in ways that are effective.

You’ve probably tried to lose weight before in order to feel healthier or more confident. Heck, you’ve maybe even experienced increased confidence and better health as a result of weight loss in the past…But was it sustainable?
We don’t want to build your confidence on a house of cards that crumbles the minute you fall off the bandwagon or gain weight.
You deserve to have more stable confidence than this. And it ain’t going to come from chasing the number on the scale.
In this episode, I’m going to share what you need to focus on instead of weight loss if you want to feel better about your body.
Key Takeaways
1. What we have been taught “looks good” is based on diet culture’s narrow definition of health, beauty and attractiveness.
2. The problem(s) with attaching your confidence to weight loss: It hinges upon doing something nearly impossible.
3. 2 key strategies to improve your confidence: HOW you can choose to start thinking differently about your weight, your body, your health…and your confidence.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain to share with you what the conversation sounds like with my clients if they’re slipping back into old habits.
I want to normalize that this happens, and it doesn’t mean you’re failing, that intuitive eating doesn’t work, or that there’s something wrong with you.
Rather than going into a shame spiral that makes you just want to throw in the towel, it’s important to be curious when you’re slipping back into old habits, and to explore what is happening to better understand it so that you can gain clarity on how to move forward.
I’m going to walk you through exactly how I do that with my clients. This is an important episode for anyone to hear, because we all slip back into old habits that we’ve been trying to change. This happens to everyone, whether it be with food, or exercise, or going to bed on time, or maybe you’re trying to show up differently in your relationships or at work.
Bottom line, behavior change is hard, and this conversation is going to help you see how to get through some of the ups and downs so you don’t give up on yourself or your process towards finding peace with food.
Key Takeaways
1. A roadmap to making peace with food: My 5 phases to becoming a non-dieter (and what a “non-dieter” actually is)
2. What I say to clients when they’ve slipped into old habits: How I melt the shame, the questions I ask them, and next steps to move forward
3. 2 Case Examples: Clients who struggled with falling back into old habits, and how they worked through this

I know, I know, it’s so tempting to try and lose weight before vacations. In fact, it almost feels like you’re supposed to lose weight before a trip.
I’m here to have a big sis heart-to-heart with you today to let you know that cutting out carbs and restricting your food isn’t going to make you happier on vacation. It’s going to make you miserable.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about how to handle those urges to get back on the dieting bandwagon before a trip or special event such as a party or wedding, and I’m going to show you what to do instead when it comes to your strategy with eating.
You’ll learn how to incorporate satisfying food, without cutting out your favorite sweets or desserts, and how to do this without going overboard. I’m going to show you the utility of flexible structure with food and menu planning (minus the diet mentality).
We’re also going to dig into some strategies with body image so that you can wear the swimsuit, show your bare arms in that dress you bought, and be in the photos - no more avoiding these things!

Ice cream is hands down my favorite food of all time. I often eat it as my snack in the evening before bed (and yes, sometimes I literally eat it in bed).
However, if you find yourself binging on ice cream (or any other food) at night, and if it is basically the only thing you have to look forward to in your life, then (I say this lovingly, because I care about you), we need to have a chit chat - which is what we’re doing in this episode.
If food is the only thing that brings you joy, and if binging every night is your pattern at the end of the day, and you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, ashamed, and worried that things will never get better - I’ve got you covered. We’re going to talk about how to break out of this cycle, so that you can still enjoy food AND your life outside of food, without food having more importance than it should.
Key Takeaways
Decreasing the space that food is taking up will allow you to let LIFE in, which might be really fun and exciting, and it might be really hard and challenging. No matter your experience, I’m here to support you through it. Let’s dig in!
Today’s Wellness Woo is euphemisms like “play food” and “sometimes food.”

Do you have old clothes in your closet that no longer fit, but you’re hoping that you’ll lose some weight and be able to wear them again?
Have you ever bought something in a smaller size that you currently wear to use it as “motivation” to lose weight? Perhaps a smaller bathing suit for an upcoming vacation, or you ordered your wedding dress a size smaller than you are now?
Well, I hate to tell ya, but purchasing and holding onto clothes that are too small isn’t a magic potion for weight loss. (In fact, it’s a recipe for failure - and I don’t use that word lightly.)
In this episode we’re not just digging into your closet - we’re digging into your BELIEFS about your body. Grab your pen and paper, and maybe a sparkling water, and let’s unpack your clothes AND your body image.
Episode Highlights
-Examining your thoughts, feelings and core beliefs about your body. (Don’t forget to grab the Body Image Journal Prompts to help you with this.)
-How shame is connected to our body image
-Brene Brown’s 4 steps to shame resilience
-Shifting your fears about weight gain from “What if” to “Even if”

What to say if your child ever says, “I feel fat,” or if they are called fat by kids at school or someone in their life.
Learn the do’s and don’ts of navigating these tricky conversations, whether you have small kids at home, teenagers, or even adult children.
Erin Kerns Vazquez is my guest today, and she is going to walk us through how she went from dieting since the age of 10, to wholeheartedly embracing body acceptance and intuitive eating.
Erin was bullied about her weight as a kid, and she wrote a children’s book about what messages she looks back and recognizes she needed to hear at a young age about her body. She describes the well-intentioned ways that adults in her life tried to help her “get healthier” (i.e. lose weight) to feel better about herself and to silence the bullies, and how these attempts at helping missed the mark.
It’s a powerful conversation about healing your own body image, unpacking the messages you received about your body (and bodies in general) during childhood, the way that diet culture has reinforced these messages, and what you can do to foster a healthy body image for yourself and the children in your life.
Key Takeaways
1. Beliefs about our bodies start young: The way we see our parents talking about their own bodies impacts how we feel about our own bodies, even now as adults.
2. A “healthy body image” doesn’t necessarily mean body positivity: Rather, it means that you have peace and neutrality with your body (even on the days you might wish it were different).
3. What to say (and NOT say) to your kids if they say, “I feel fat”: Be clear and confident for how you navigate these tricky conversations with your kids, as you support them in navigating body image in a weight-obsessed world.
