Replay! Paige Smathers, dietitian and host of the podcast Nutrition Matters, joins me to dive into the sixth principle of Intuitive Eating. Satisfaction is different than satiety, but it can take some time to identify their unique qualities. Our diet-focused culture has a hard time with satisfaction, as it implies feeling pleasure in your food experiences. Our clients have struggled with this principle, as it requires coming to peace with our food preferences and cravings.

Replay! Julie Duffy Dillon, aka the Food Peace RD, joins me to discuss Intuitive Eating (IE) Principle #3: Make Peace With Food. All foods! Not just the healthy, or "fun", foods.
We start by outlining what's called "The Last Supper Phenomenon" of dieting. This sets everyone up for failure, yet we see it happen so often. It's just one factor that pulls your dieting pendulum too far to one side, so it will inevitably swing right back.
Read the book: Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works
Julie and I dig into the importance of making peace with all foods, how this concept is largely misunderstood, and what steps anyone can take to start the process. As Julie says, EVERY food has its place, and anything can be unhealthy for us in excess. (Yep, even broccoli!)

Replay! This episode originally aired in January 2018, but it's a topic we can't talk about enough. Honoring Hunger.
Jennifer McGurk joins me to discuss Intuitive Eating principle #2: Honoring Your Hunger. At the time of recording, I was pregnant and she had just given birth, so we start with some real talk about the IE lessons these experiences will teach you! If you decide to skip ahead, we get into the principle and how it's essential to intuitive eating. It's also crucial to have acknowledged your diet mentality, and put any goals of weight loss (or "management" aside) in order to really hear and heed your body's hunger signals.
Jennifer is an eating disorder specialist, so part of our conversation touches on how this principle is used for eating disorder treatment, when appropriate.

Replay! This is the episode that kicked of the RD Real Talk podcast Intuitive Eating series—10 episodes all about the principles, and evidence, behind Intuitive Eating (IE). Evelyn Tribole is one of the co-authors of the book on Intuitive Eating, and dishes about how the idea came to be, why she wrote it (with Elyse Resche), and what that was like in the mid-90s. For reference: It was first published in 1995!
If you haven't already, buy the book and dig in.
For now, tune in to hear it all from the OG IE dietitian herself.

Jessica Jones, dietitian and host of Food Heaven podcast, joins me to chat about her career, and then, Whole30. January seems like the most popular time for people to "try" the Whole30, so we're here to try and help you avoid that path. I put out a call to social media, asking people why they've done the Whole30, and what they liked about it, to try and integrate various perspectives.
Tune into our conversation to learn why Whole30 isn't the best way to adopt new habits like meal planning, trying new recipes, and eating to feel better. There are many other ways to do all of the above, without extreme food restrictions or rigid food rules.
We address: meal planning, recipes, digestive issues, sugar addiction (or lack thereof), PCOS, and the hidden threat of deprivation.

Solo episode! I used to blog about business updates, but I took it to the podcast this time. A year-in-review type thing, addressing things that I started but didn't continue, how I make business decisions, risks I've taken, and things that are new.

Jessi Haggerty, aka host of The Body Love Project podcast, joins me on the show. We talk about how she began questioning the efficacy of weight-loss diets in college, and how that felt as a young RD. Jessi is also a personal trainer, tired of the fat-phobia and fear-based food messaging in the fitness industry. Her work is based around body inclusivity, women's health, and creating environments supportive of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size (HAES).
Also in this episode: Jessi shares a personal update that explains why we've heard a little less from her on her podcast and blog this year. And we dive into a discussion about how our favorite TV shows of yore don't quite hold up in the body and weight-inclusive world we want to foster. (Looking at you, FRIENDS and SATC. Though, the list is long!)

Thank you for listening!
Emily Kyle recently published a post on her site, titled, "I Am Not An Anti-Diet Dietitian". Naturally, I thought, we should talk about that. Emily and I discuss everything from desires for weight loss to both acute, and chronic health diseases and managing symptoms through—dare we say—a specific diet.
Most important: We talk to each other with an open-mind, acknowledging that sometimes we may think we disagree on things, but really it's all in the message. (And recognizing each other's humanity.)

Shanna Hutcheson, aka the dietitian behind Wellness for the Win. She stopped calorie counting in January 2017, and wrote a blog post about it on her site. We talk about her process of personally, and then professionally, incorporating the principles of Intuitive Eating that resonate with her. We talk about why she changed her tune, and embraced a life without calorie counting. We talk about her adorable doggos. And we talk about how it feels to enter this non-fad-diet world and feel a little clumsy at first—Am I saying "this" right? Does this resonate? Does it help?
But first, I start today's episode by diving into a hot topic: The latest research touting a Low-Carbohydrate diet for "weight maintenance". Fun, right?
You can read a summary of the research here, but I encourage you read the whole thing (full access on BMJ).

Kim Hoban is back on the show today, an RD Real Talk OG. We both have gone through significant life changes this year, becoming new moms. Kim was on a wild ride during pregnancy, with everything from placenta previa to gestational diabetes to, our shared experience, carpal tunnel. We talk about cravings—one that brought me out of a pescetarian lifestyle (which I'm thankful for)—and what might be at the root of them. And we talk about life, because sometimes we need a break from talking about nutrition.
Things mentioned during the show:
Kim, and her daily work in being an advocate for her own health-autonomy, as well as yours. Find more: KHnutrition.com
