Happy Satiated Saturday! 

When I was in the process of healing my gut from severe digestive pain, I had to do a lot of food experiments. This included taking out some foods I suspected were correlated with the digestive pain I was experiencing and noticing and observing if I felt any different. 

These food experiments were crucial to deeply understand my body and what my symptoms were trying to tell me. And as my gut healed, I later needed to invite all of these foods back in to see these foods as not good or bad, rather foods that my body simply responds to differently in different moments. 

Using food as a tool to heal your body can be a multi-faceted process, especially when you're also trying to heal your relationship with food as well. 

In this week’s episode, I talk with Sarah Sherwood, Embodiment Coach and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, about her Lyme Disease healing journey, her relationship with food throughout that process, the body respect boundaries with food she needed to set, and the conversations she needed to have with others to make her healing path as smooth as possible.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

I remember the period of time when I stopped dieting, quit following diet culture, and removed myself from the whole dieting world. I'll be honest, it was messy! 

The thing is the rules and regulations of dieting can create a sense of safety that you're doing something "right" and you're in control. When you have potentially been relying on a diet for years to provide you with the "rules" on how to eat, it can bring up all sorts of emotions no longer having those regulations to abide by when eating. 

Throwing out all rules and regulations when it comes to food can feel overwhelming and dysregulating that you find yourself back on a diet to feel that sense of safety from the structure. 

In this week’s episode, I will teach you about the signs you can notice when you're in and out of your Window of Tolerance as a key to releasing yourself from dieting and identifying when will be the optimal timing to engage in new food experiments.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

I remember a time in my life when I lived across the street from a gym. This was a time when I was diving deeper into my own personal growth and healing, working with a somatic therapist, and binging regularly to try to regulate as looking at these dark things in my life was not easy. 

I would eat to the point of feeling so uncomfortably full I couldn't attend to or focus on anything else. Some nights, I just did not want to sit with that fullness and so I would walk over to the gym at 9:00, 10:00, even 11:00 pm at night and walk on a treadmill or use the elliptical until I didn't feel full anymore. 

Sweaty, exhausted, and numb, I would walk back to my apartment, shower, and just go to sleep. 

I share this because, first, if this is a pattern you're in right now, please know you're not doing anything wrong. You're showing up the best you can right now with everything you're trying to navigate in your life and in your body. Second, that pattern that was playing out with my food and body wasn't really about my food or my body image. 

It was a time of my life I was actively taking myself outside my comfort zone. It was a time I was challenging the ways I showed up with myself and with others. It was a time when I thought the tears of grief from what I was processing would never stop. Eating and moving my body just became moments of respite from what felt, at times, too intense to navigate. If you're reading this nodding your head, I see you, I understand, I get it.

In this week’s episode, I talk with Jessie Asya Kanzer, author of her new book Don’t Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching, about her journey of healing from an eating disorder and how finding the Tao Te Ching and learning to be with herself changed everything for her.

Happy Satiated Saturday!

At my undergraduate school, I was required to take 2 physical movement/gym classes as one of the requirements to graduate. 

I despised gym class growing up. I was always last on any run, could never climb a rope, and hand eye coordination to hit a volleyball was never my strong suit. 

I heard through some friends that the weight lifting class was the easiest class to take. There was no actual class. You just had to show up at the gym regularly lift weights and fill out a form on what you did. 

This class began my love of weight lifting. It made me feel strong, capable, and empowered. Something I have discovered over the years of lifting is that you can truly deeply know how deserving you are of respect, love, appreciation, acceptance just as you are and still want to challenge yourself. 

In this week’s episode, I talk with Kylie Larson, the founder of Lift To Get Lean, about how transformative lifting weights can be, why diets don't work, the importance of reverse dieting if you have been dieting for a long time, and so much more.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

This upcoming week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. 

The National Eating Disorder Association lists the warning signs of an Eating Disorder as:

• Preoccupation with weight, food, calories, dieting, and/or body image.
• Development of abnormal, secretive, extreme, or ritualized food or eating habits.
• Withdrawal from usual friends and activities.
• Evidence of binge eating, such as the disappearance of a large amount of food.
• Evidence of purging behaviors, including frequent trips to the bathroom after meals, self-induced vomiting, periods of fasting or laxative, diet pill, or diuretic abuse.
• Compulsive or excessive exercising.
• Discoloration or staining of the teeth.
• Feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, or irritability.

Is there any part of this list that you identify with? 

Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders all lie on a spectrum and anyone, at any age, in any body can experience this kind of relationship with food. 

In this week’s episode, I talk with Stefanie Michele, Binge Recovery & Body Image Coach about what it takes to heal from an eating disorder, the importance of body neutrality, and that part of healing includes a re-discovery of oneself.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

Body trust can get disrupted for many reasons often beginning at a young age. 

I know for myself, my body trust was gone the moment I went on my first diet at 13 years old. For the next decade of my life, hunger and satiation cues were drowned out by numbers and by shoulds and shouldn'ts.

If you paused right now and asked yourself honestly, do you trust your body?

Whatever answer comes back is alright. Change starts with awareness. We cannot change what we are not aware of.

In this week’s episode, I talk with Sera Lavelle, Clinical Psychologist about how body trust is broken and how to re-build it. If you're working on building up your trust in your body, this episode is for you! 

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-to-re-build-body-trust

Healing our relationship with food and body takes time and you get to take all the time you need on this adventure.

So, I'm curious, have you ever seen a picture of yourself and then had a barrage of harsh internal comments arise? 

A strategy you may have come up with may be to just not get in pictures, to decline and avoid being in pictures to not have to navigate that internal dialogue. 

In this week’s episode, I will walk you through what is happening in your body, why it's having this kind of response to seeing a picture of you, and 3 different reactions you can explore to begin to repattern your reaction when seeing a picture of you. 

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/see-a-picture-of-yourself-and-judge-what-you-see-heres-what-to-do

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

I truly believe our bodies love being in movement. Yet, movement or exercise has become synonyms with losing weight and changing our bodies. This has made it that physical movement is now either worth it or not worth it, beneficial or pointless, effective or ineffective. ALL movement can be supportive to the body, even if you're just sitting in a chair swaying to music. 

Today, I talk with Kim Basler, Food Freedom and Mindset Coach, speaker and coauthor of the best selling book, Owning Your Choices, stories of courage from inspirational women around the world. Her global reach has allowed her to support 1000s of women with self love, finding peace with food and their bodies and improving their mindset to become the best version of themselves. 

In this week’s episode, we discuss what has broken our relationship with physical movement and how to begin stepping into a more nourishing relationship with being in movement in our body just as it is.

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/creating-a-nourishing-relationship-with-physical-movement

Something that Kim and I also discuss on today’s call was the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. I have been a teacher at this Institute for the past decade supporting individuals in healing their relationship with their food and body and becoming certified as Mind Body Eating Coaches. You can learn more about the Institute for the Psychology of Eating here (a new class is coming up in March!) https://ipe.isrefer.com/go/MBECClandingPage/spollock/

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

This episode of the Satiated Podcast we're going deep! I talk with Lauren Merklin, who is a fat Anti Diet Coach for women. She helps women unlearn diet culture and fatphobia, to live beyond the scale and view their body as an ally instead of an enemy. 

Lauren's passionate about creating a safe space for women, especially plus size, to heal away from diet culture and weight bias so they can finally have a peaceful relationship with food and their body. She uses a non-diet HAES and fat positivity approach to wellness.

In this week’s episode, we explore body positivity and how far away we have moved from the original intention of this movement, what is anti fat bias, how it could be affecting you, the history of fat bias, and explorations to engage in for yourself to explore your own body beliefs. This is an incredibly powerful episode. If you have struggled with your body image, this is a must listen.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

This past year, the Satiated Podcast has doubled its number of downloads. We're growing and it's exciting! With growth comes change. 

There are so many incredible practitioners out there with a similar passion to support you in your relationship with your food and body, challenge diet culture, and support you in cultivating a deeper connection with yourself. I want to bring in these other incredible teachers, counselors, practitioners, coaches, therapists to diversify the support you receive here. Each month, you will now receive new interviews and still solo episodes with me. I'm thrilled to be bringing in the wisdom and experience of others. You can utilize the tools I have been teaching here for the past 2 years. 

Notice how your body responds to different perspectives, different teachers, and different offerings. This is an opportunity to discover what resonates with you and what doesn't, what challenges you, what makes you feel seen and understood, what feels like it's outside your comfort zone. Take in what you want to take in and supports you in feeling emotionally and physically satiated and leave the rest. 

In this week’s episode, I chat with Marissa Angeletti, MA, LPC, Somatic Therapist, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Movement-Based Trauma Specialist, and Therapeutic Movement Educator and Practitioner. We discuss what is Ayurveda, how Ayurveda approaches our relationship with food, and how you can start to utilize these concepts in your life.

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/healing-your-relationship-with-food-with-ayurveda
