The Hormone Psychiatrist

What if you "get that diets don't work," but you STILL want to lose weight? What if you just FEEL awful in the body you're in now? How does set point weight work and how does your diet affect it? I'll dive into all this and more in today's down-to-earth conversation about mindful nutrition.

In today's episode, I talk with Gisela Bouvier, registered dietitian, corporate wellness professional, wife, and mother.

>>Disclaimer: If you're JUST starting out with intuitive eating and triggered by nutrition or health discussions, please do not listen to this episode. :)

We discuss:

• What the honeymoon period even means (and if you NEED to experience it to make peace with food and your body)
• What it means when you want to lose weight
• How "diet mentality" is not necessarily the desire to lose weight
• How to identify your own motivations and mindset
• How our set point weight can change over time (even through an intuitive eating practice)
• What is triggering about Instagram
• and so much more!

Diet culture is prevalent in the United States. No shocker there! But here's the thing: diet culture is ubiquitous worldwide. My guest today, though she grew up in culture very different from United States culture, still developed a severe eating disorder.

In today's episode, I talk with the amazing Steph Ng who's recently taken over the anti-diet space to share an interesting Chinese cultural stance and how different (and similar) our struggles are.

We discuss:

• How Steph developed an eating disorder growing up in China
• How culture affects how women view food and bodies
• Why women diet in China (and it's not necessarily to be thinner)
• How to create your own treatment plan when quality eating disorder treatment isn't available to you
• and so much more!

Aside from actually being "thin", that feeling we are all craving is contentment. We want to get to a point where we just FEEL good about our bodies. We are told that the feeling will come once we lose the weight, but more and more women are coming forward and telling us that this isn't exactly the case. There are so many other things that we can invest in that will bring a sense of pride and there are so many more aspects of ourselves that will give us a full and meaningful life beyond what number pops up on a scale.

In this ep, you'll also hear:

• My interview with podcast host, Nickie Snyder and how she has found contentment for her body
• Nickie's journey with Weight Watchers
• Size, what it means to Nickie and how people "in the middle" handle life in the world of extreme's
• What she wasn't willing to sacrifice for the sake of "thin"
• How to find contentment in your own life with three actionable tips
• and more!

Oh the 12th diet of Christmas that diet culture gave to me,

12 Portion Pinchers

Why are we as a nation SO obsessed with thinness? And why do we all feel like we NEED to "control our portions?" Is portion control even realistic? Is it even healthy? And if not dieting, then how can you truly be healthy? How can you make real peace with food?

I dive into all of these questions... and a whole lot more.
