Hey Rebel!
Imagine waking up every day consumed by thoughts of food, haunted by the scale, and trapped in a relentless cycle of restriction followed by loss of control. If this resonates with you, know that you're not alone. This was once my reality, and it was also the reality for today's guest, my past group coaching client, Rachel.
In today's episode, we delve into how Rachel has rebuilt her relationship with food—from a regimen of strict control to embracing body cues with compassion, from emotional eating to savoring meals with genuine pleasure, and becoming a confident intuitive eater. Rachel not only enjoys a wide variety of foods today but also sets an empowering example for her children, raising them now as intuitive eaters!
Fear and insecurity around food has opened up a path to true food freedom for Rachel and her family, and I hope you leave inspired by her transformational story!

What if you want to both heal your relationship with food and lose weight? Is this possible? I'm diving deep into this one in this episode.
Plus I'll share my personal story about what made me realize that what I was doing was not living and let go of my fears (and how I changed my whole business because of this!).

Hey Rebel!
Does existing in a larger body automatically lead to more joint pain and daily discomfort?
You may automatically assume, "yes!"...but what if that's a myth? To help navigate this popular topic I brought in Dr. Lisa, a weight-inclusive physical therapist and body image coach, to help us dive deep into how diet culture infiltrates the physical therapy space and challenge many misconceptions surrounding body size and pain.
Get ready to hear all about:
What actually causes pain (and how it’s not simply a result of body size). How to move away from the mindset that it’s your fault if you experience body aches, pains, or ailments. How to better understand the signals your body sends when you’re experiencing discomfort. One daily practice to help protect your body.& more!
Ps. Pay special attention to Dr. Lisa’s discussion on the shame people feel when they believe their body aches are their fault. You might hear some powerful parallels between the shame experienced from dieting failures and the shame related to physical ailments.

Hey Rebel!
Today we are answering a question submitted by a listener named Veronica. She asks, "What do you think about coaches who promote body transformations, the before and after, the way they work? I am a Pilates instructor, became a coach myself, but I don't agree with the system, so I don't promote it."
In today's episode, I also share my opinion on topics like:
Progress pictures Weighing yourself every day Tracking macros And coaches who say you need to look a certain way because you are an exampleIf you have your own question that you would like addressed here on the Diet Culture Rebel podcast, then go to dietculturerebel.com/podcast to submit one!

Hey Rebel!
There's nothing I love more than hearing people who struggled with their relationships with food for so long recount how intuitive eating changed their lives for the better. That's the story you'll be hearing today, as my past group coaching client, Michelle, shares how she went from obsessing over food, struggling with her body image, and overcoming addiction, to now being in a place where she can go on spontaneous dates, listen to her body, and never diet again!
Michelle shares so much wisdom about the mindset shifts she made to begin challenging her relationship with food. She realized that if you are going to have to eat every day for the rest of your life, you might as well make the best of it!
You'll also hear her discuss:
The origin story of her body shame growing up When she realized her food struggles deserved help How she moved through the honeymoon phase The importance of embracing fear throughout the journey & more!I know you'll walk away from this episode with inspiration!

Hey Rebel. Recently, an Oprah special came out titled "shame, blame and the weight loss revolution", all about the popular weight loss drugs right now... and it got a lot of attention. So I decided to watch the special so you don't have to and today I am breaking it down with all of my thoughts... and I have a lot.
Surprisingly, there are a few things I agree with. But there are more things that I have concerns about...
Give it a listen to hear all about the special and even more about the science (or lack thereof) behind these medications.

Hey Rebel! Let's talk about food noise.
Do you feel like you're always thinking about food? Have you ever felt like:
When sitting down for breakfast, I can't stop thinking about lunch. When sitting down for lunch, I'm already thinking about dinner. When eating dinner, I'm calculating how I could do "better" tomorrow. When you're trying to sleep, you can't stop thinking about breakfast tomorrow.It is that constant chatter about food in your head. The thinking about food 24/7. And maybe food noise sounds a little bit different in your head, but if it feels all-consuming, if it feels all-controlling, if it's something that you think about literally all the time, this episode is for you!
I'm going to share 3 powerful ways that intuitive eating can help to quiet your food noise and free up precious brain space for you to focus on more important things in life.

Hey Rebel!
Have you ever wondered, "what if intuitive eating doesn't work for me"? Buckle in for today's episode as we delve into a topic that resonates with many - the internal battle with doubt and fear that arises when we face the new journey to find a healthier relationship with food.
We all recognize that little voice of doubt, whispering concerns and fears whenever we're on the brink of embracing change. It's a universal experience, and most importantly, it's completely normal.
We'll explore the often overlooked consequences of dieting, shedding light on how these practices not only affect our relationship with food but also amplify our fear of failure. This fear can be a significant barrier, preventing us from pursuing the healing we so deserve. However, there's hope.

Hey Rebel!
Have you ever thought about aging, menopause, and body changes over the lifespan and felt anxious? It makes sense when the diet and beauty industry prey on us to be scared of these things. But what if you could rethink our response to aging and create a more compassionate, neutral, and realistic narrative around these very normal experiences?
This is why I had Registered Dietitian and Midlife Health Specialist Val Schonberg on the podcast today! My associate dietitian Angie recommended her to come on after she recently took a continuing education course by Val, and I'm so glad she did because more conversations around aging need to be had!
By tuning in today, you'll hear about:
how she went from a rather sheltered upbringing from diet culture pressures to later in life becoming a victim to them and struggling.
what helped her heal and what has helped her embrace and enjoy the aging process.
the importance of separating your entire self worth from your body size.
how to incorporate gentle nutrition as you age.
You can find Val on instagram at @v.schonbergrd or on her website https://valschonberg.com/

Hey Rebel.
Optavia has grown in popularity over the past decade, and it makes sense. If you don't know what Optavia is, count yourself lucky. With their flashy headlines stating, "lose weight fast and keep it off", claiming it is backed by research, it is enticing.
I peeled back the curtain on Optavia to see what the hype was all about. Not only is it too good to be true…but it’s so much worse than you’d think.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing my findings.
What is the Optavia diet protocol? What does their science actually say? The dangers of very low-calorie diets First hand accounts from past Optavia members… including the harmful health effects they’ve experienced as a result…What you take from this episode will allow you to spot the red flags in plain sight of other diet programs all around us.
