Because it's the New Year and predictably the weight loss, diet and fitness ads are in FULL on stalking mode again, making all kinds of promises and perhaps making you feel like you're supposed to be starting another weight loss attempt, in this episode, I'm talking about the magic weight loss pill (metaphorically speaking) and share some of its side effects.

Some quick start tips for getting through December while enjoying all your favorites but without the guilt, food hangovers or promises to "get back on track" in January.

In this episode, I'm talking about health. 

What is it? What does it look like? Why is the phrase "picture of health" a toxic lie? Tune in to find out.

A survey of American women done in 2008 found that something like 75% had disordered eating habits.

And based on experience, I’m sure the results in most of the rest of the industrialized world where capitalism reigns supreme would be pretty much on par with those.

One major way in which disordered eating habits manifest themselves in our lives is through distrust.

Distrust in ourselves, and distrust in our own ability to decide what, when and how much we should be eating.

In this episode, I'm talking about why trusting ourselves with food can feel so hard when it's actually our natural state.

As with the relationships I had with my body and food, my relationship with exercise was pretty messed up most of my life and this destructive relationship with exercise is something I've seen in almost every woman I've worked with since I became a trainer in 2010. 

In this episode, I'm sharing how my relationship with it has changed in the last number of ways (in the most wonderful ways) and I'm sharing 4 tips you can use to work on improving yours and why it's so important.

Tune in if you're sick of the "on track" and "off track" cycle with exercise and always feel like you're trying to convince yourself to "be more active".

In this week’s episode, I wanted to talk about some messages I recently got from one of our newest members in the Cognitive Eating Academy because they were a beautiful real-time example of some of what keeps us from wanting to eat things that help us feel our best… an example of the things that drive self-sabotaging or self-destructive eating patterns… even bingeing.

Her message started with, "I feel like I'm on the verge of a binge"

Tune in to learn what we discovered about what was driving it and how we got her through it (without bingeing) and ultimately feeling better.

Recently, I had a conversation with a friend who's been having some distressing digestive issues and just got a list of things she can and can't eat from her naturopath.

I died a little inside when she started talking about her "can and can't eat" list and in this episode I'm talking about why and I'm sharing a significantly healthier way to approach healthy eating.

Last night on a call with my CE group, one of the gals started her update with the comments about how messed up her stomach had been feeling in the days prior.

She’d been experiencing abdominal pain, constipation, bloating, cramps... you name it.

Most people would have started telling her what to change in her eating habits to improve her symptoms but that's not what I did. In this episode, I'm sharing why I didn't take that approach, what I did instead, why it worked and why this may the key you need to start feeling better in your own body.

Selling fear has become the backbone of the diet, weight loss, fitness, and even health and wellness industries because nothing is easier to sell than when you're feeding upon someone's fear. 

And holy hell, do those industries ever feed upon our fears. But what's the result of that? How does it impact the choices we make for ourselves and our bodies? And is there a better way? A healthier way? 

That's what I'm talking about in this episode.

This episode was taken from a conversation I had with Amanda Hanson for The Real Diet Story project. In this episode, we talk about why body love and acceptance is so hard, why it's a constant practice and we shared a number of tips and strategies to help you get started.

Amanda starts the conversation with a story about a conversation she had with a client over her pant size and how it triggered her, even though she felt like she was starting to get in a good place with her body.
