The High Life with Ricki Lake

Evelyn Tribole is a dietitian who hates diets! For the last 30 years, she has been championing the idea of "intuitive eating,” a practice where you trust your gut to choose the foods that make you feel your best. In this episode, Evelyn explains why nothing is off limits and how exactly this practice works. You'll also hear Ricki get her mind blown. Ditch guilt this Thanksgiving and try out some of the basic principles that Evelyn outlines in this enlightening and empowering conversation.

Check out Evelyn’s book, ‘Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program that Works,’ co-authored by Elyse Resch and now in its 4th edition: https://www.intuitiveeating.org/

What if we could significantly improve our physical health through our mind? Social psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer has seen it happen first hand in countless studies at Harvard University and beyond. Dr. Langer, known as the ‘mother of mindfulness,’ joins Ricki to discuss how reshaping our perspective day to day can help us get in better shape, strengthen our decision making, and even improve chronic health conditions.

This election week, Ricki decides to destress by taking a weed gummy and talking about gardening alongside two pros – TikTok gardener Brian Brigantti and landscaper John Bonny. They chat about what’s growing in their gardens, how to create a sanctuary in your backyard, and what taking care of plants can teach you about taking care of yourself. This episode is the perfect antidote to election coverage!

Women are asking for divorce way more than men. Why is that, and shouldn’t that choice be met with celebration rather than pity? Ricki talks about her own divorces with Lyz Lenz, author of the recent memoir, “This American Ex-Wife: How I Ended my Marriage and Started my Life.” They get into finances (who keeps the house?), the perks of becoming single again (wine and murder podcasts!), and how to know if/when you’re ready to remarry.

For the first time ever, Ricki tells her hair loss story in detail alongside her friend and mentor Y, the founder of The Women’s Hair Loss Project. After Ricki began losing her hair in 1995, Y helped her explore treatment options, shop for wigs, and deal with the emotional turmoil. Y and Ricki swap stories of what it felt like to shave their heads, discuss drugs they took that didn’t work, and talk about how they finally came to a place of acceptance.
