In this series, we will be looking at the biochemical structure and function of the macronutrients, carbohydrate, protein, and fat, to understand the structure and function of these energy yielding nutrients. Optimal utilization of these nutrients depends on both overall adequacy of intake and generally consistent balance among these energy yielding nutrients.

With all the chatter, handwringing, and noise about all the different nutritional concerns and questions we should have, it's tough to know how to get your needs met. In today's episode, Katherine lays out a specific framework for prioritizing your most important, most basic nutritional needs, so that we see the big picture and don't get lost in the details that matter less. Prioritizing the most important nutritional need of adequacy can encourage more ease and flexibility in eating, and allows us to relax our grip on trying to control and perfectly optimize our eating.
Mentioned in this episode:
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Ellyn Satter's Hierarchy of Nutritional Needs
And here is the Hierarchy of Nutrition Needs that I more commonly use, as described by dietitian colleague and author Rachael Hartley, RD.

When we consider relaxing our tight grip of control of our eating, letting go of food rules and incorporating an “all foods fit” mentality, many of us worry that we will be out of control around those most favorite foods, the ones you always thought you needed to keep out of the house and not allow yourself to eat them at all, because you lose control. Today’s episode talks about why this is a myth, using examples of how we experience the rhythm of our lives and changing seasons. After the holidays, we enjoy the peace and calm of the New Year. In the spring, we are just as happy to see the last snow melt as we were to see the first snow arrive a few months ago. And the school year we were so eager to see begin in the fall, we are thrilled to close that chapter and move into the carefree, long days of summer. Our bodies also crave this balance, and eating those highly palatable foods all the foods would be sort of like the chaos of the holiday season all year long: it’s too much. We need balance, and if we give ourselves permission to enjoy different foods, our bodies will both appreciate that and be ready to enjoy something different next. It may take some time, if our restrictive mentality around those foods is deeply ingrained, but ultimately we can trust our bodies to crave balance and variety all on its own.

Hey folks, I’m back from an unplanned hiatus. Today, I share all about giving ourselves grace when life becomes chaotic or difficult. I share my personal experience about letting go of mealtime expectations during a stressful season of life. It’s okay to be flexible and make adjustments. This teaches us (and our children) to trust ourselves during times when things fall apart, and to give ourselves permission to prioritize only the essentials and let the rest go, requiring us to get very clear on what matters most and what matters less.

It's back to school season, and whatever relief we felt to reclaim the routine and structure of school days has probably given way to remember that school weeks are stressful too, particularly when it comes to feeding, school lunches, tired kids, and stressed parents! In today's episode, Canadian dietitian Terri Ney, RD (sounds like "high," not "hay") shares some encouragement and practical tips for parents around school lunches and other common school day feeding challenges. She has lots of specific suggestions for making school days and school lunches easier. We talk about the age old debate around packed lunch vs. school hot lunch, highlighting a privilege many Americans take for granted (Canadians do not currently have a school lunch program, despite lots of advocacy effort). And Katherine and Terri can't help but wander into the subject of food moralizing messages at school, why they aren't great, and what to do when you face this in your own kids' school.

Eating intuitively can feel confusing, overwhelming, even scary for us adults, who may have spent a lifetime battling our bodies. But we're all born with the capacity to eat intuitively, so kids have an advantage. We can support kids' growing into intuitive eaters but helping them maintain their trust and connection with their bodies, even if we feel like we have a long way to go in our own relationship with our own body. Today we talk about how to recognize those skills developing in our kids, how to support and reinforce those skills, and how learning to trust our kids can help us learn to trust ourselves.

Bodies come in all shapes and sizes. But there are strong and powerful industries at work compelling us to believe we should all be working to achieve a narrow and arbitrary standard of smallness, thinly veiled by the banner of "health." Today we will talk about how genetics, rather than behavior, is the primary driver of body size and shape, about the forces that come together that make it so difficult to let go of trying to control our bodies, and about where to go from here. Beginning to unlearn the unhelpful things that disconnect us from our bodies doesn't magically result in us suddenly loving everything about our bodies, but it is a good first step. And even if our discomfort in our bodies persists, there are actions we can take to help us cultivate a posture and a practice of respecting our bodies.

Often, it is clear what needs to happen to shift our relationship with food to be more intuitive, but our relationship with activity remains fraught and confusing. We still think of exercise as a necessary evil, something we must do to be healthy but we'd so much rather avoid altogether. Thankfully, when we establish trust and respect with our body, our approach to movement can be much more balanced and intuitive, honoring what we know about our body and what it might need at any given time. Today's episode offers specific questions and reflections for you to begin to consider what an intuitive relationship with movement might look like for you, and Katherine includes how she navigates these questions in her own approach to physical activity.

The phrase "intuitive eating" on its own may bring up all sorts of images of binging on chocolate and French fries. But the framework of Intuitive Eating and its ten principles, based on the books by registered dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, constitute a whole model of self care and body trust with food. In Part I of this three part series, we talk a bit about the foundation of body trust upon which Intuitive Eating is based, and about the ways our body faithfully communicates its needs to us, no matter what we're hearing from the myriad of outside messages telling us how to manage our bodies. We explore the concept of unconditional permission to eat and how it is the only way to strip food of power that it doesn't deserve, and learn to trust our bodies to guide us.

Today we learn all about the role of the nervous system in our experience and struggles with food and feeding. Registered dietitian Anna Lutz shares her knowledge of the nervous system and a relatively new understanding of our somatic experience known as Polyvagal Theory, bringing a whole new layer of insight and understanding to our experience at the dinner table with our families. This interview is extremely powerful in better understanding our kids' experience, and our own as well, of meal time struggles and some perhaps unexpected ways to address those challenges in ways that not only make meals more peaceful but also promote health and optimal nutrition.

Too often, eating disorders in young people are not identified before things have gotten way out of hand and we have a very sick child. And most of the time, in retrospect, parents and caregivers can look back and see the clear early warnings signs, that they just didn't know to be concerned about at the time. Today's episode goes into how to recognize those early warning signs, what to look for and how to respond if you notice changes in your child that are concerning. The more advanced an eating disorder is upon intervention, the more difficult it is to treat. Responding appropriately and early to the early signs of disordered eating offer your child the best chance of getting back on track and possibly avoiding a long, painful, and difficult course of treatment.

We cover some practical things you can start doing, or STOP doing, right away, to positively impact how you relate to your body, and then how to dig deeper when you're ready.
