Confident Sober Women

Slender for Good: Sustainable Nutrition Over Dieting


Listen Later

In this transformative episode of the Confident Sober Women podcast, Dr. Ginny Trierweiler unveils a deeply personal and scientifically-backed journey of health transformation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about dieting, nutrition, and wellness.

Dr. Trierweiler shares her powerful personal story of hitting rock bottom at 55 - struggling with chronic pain, pre-diabetes, and feeling trapped in a body that was rapidly deteriorating. Her pivotal moment came while working in nursing homes, witnessing individuals in their 60s and 70s losing their independence.

Breaking the Dieting Cycle

  • Why traditional calorie-cutting approaches are actually making metabolic health WORSE
  • How 70% of food in our environment is processed and destructive to our health
  • The critical difference between calories and nutrients
  • Why intuitive eating can be dangerous for those struggling with health challenges

Emotional and Physical Transformation

Dr. Trierweiler candidly discusses:

  • Overcoming alcohol dependency
  • Dealing with chronic pain through nutrition
  • Reconnecting with her body's true needs
  • The emotional journey of healing beyond just physical symptoms

Revolutionary Nutrition Principles

Dr. Trierweiler breaks down her evidence-based approach to nutrition, revealing:

  1. Abundant Nutritious Eating: Contrary to restrictive diets, she advocates eating MORE of the right foods
  2. Nutrient Density Over Calorie Counting: Understanding how what you eat matters more than how much
  3. Holistic Healing: Addressing gut health, hormones, and cellular nutrition
  4. Sustainable Lifestyle Changes: Creating a approach that feels liberating, not restrictive

Mindset Shifts for Lasting Change

  • Breaking free from food and alcohol addiction
  • Understanding the dopamine vs. serotonin response to food
  • Creating positive emotions around healthy habits
  • Treating nutrition as self-care, not punishment
