  • There are so many formulas; Some of them essential, and others…not as much. Rocket science…YES. Micromanaging the nutrition of a human being…more nuance required. Join me as we dive into some of the favorite formulas used within the science of nutrition, and how to frame, adjust, or disregard them in your unique life!

    While we are in different genres, it seems that we have overlap! Here is a link to the book I referenced by Kate Bowler. Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I’ve Loved.

  • Join me as I pick back up with my interview with Jessi. Last time we discussed her journey from dieting to Intuitive eating, and now we are going to dive into the bold and brave move she made in order to advocate for weight-inclusive care in her profession as a pharmacist.

    More about Jessi:

    Jessica Jones is a critical care clinical pharmacist specialist and preceptor in the Metro Detroit Area. She received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Mercer University in 2010 and completed 2 years of post-graduate residency training at the Detroit Medical Center. She is board certified in both critical care (BCCCP) and pharmacotherapy (BCPS).

    Jessi is actively involved in numerous regional, state, and national professional organizations working to advance the profession of pharmacy. She is a self-proclaimed introvert, book-lover, and loves to travel. Her favorite travel destination is the French Riviera/Almalfi Coast.

    Jessi is dedicated to continuously developing her own personal growth. She started her intuitive eating journey in 2021, and is endeavoring to expand the principles she has learned into an “integrative living” approach to her life on the whole.

  • Sharing some of the painful stories in our lives is hard and tremendously brave. And I am tremendously thankful to those of you willing to bear your hearts with me on Shame Free Eating. On the show today my guest Jessi shares her dieting story. As great as the idea seemed for each new diet and the momentum it seemed to provide in her life — it ultimately drained her of vitality, confidence in herself, and the ability to keep dieting. What was the final straw and how has the journey looked as she reclaimed true control and trust in herself?

  • This is a rough episode. I discuss aspects of the new guidelines put out by the AAP, and the reasons they are harmful to children and scientifically unsound.

    Here are links to additional resources discussed in the episode:

    Response to AAP Guidelines from IFEDD (International Federation of Eating Disorder Dietitians) Ragen Chastain’s detailed article that I read from in the episode and highly recommend you read.

    Podcasts about BMI:

  • There are some controversial guidelines coming out as well as conversations around weight loss drugs and surgery that need a whole lot more perspective and light shined on them. Let's start by diving into weight stigma. What is it and how does it affect quality of life, physical health, and health disparities?

    Listen in and then write or voice message me with your questions or comments. I want to hear from you and continue to add clarity around this topic however I can.

  • In this conversation with Registered Dietitian Adrien Paczosa we dive into the neuro-biochemistry behind food and its connection to aspects of mental health. Listen in for why carbs play such an important role and the lesser-known surprise benefits of potassium-rich foods!

    Adrien is the Chief Clinical Officer and Founder of the tele-nutrition company Nourish and host of the podcast Fearless Practitioners. In the show, we have a nice chat about the value of these two areas in which she practices too! Listen in to learn more.

    Here is the link to her handout on food and mood!

    More about Adrien:

    Adrien Paczosa (RD, LD, CDERD-S) has more than 20 years of experience working in the dietetic field with a focus on

    eating disorders, neurochemistry nutrition, and business development. In 2007, Paczosa founded and opened her first

    private practice in Austin, Texas called iLiveWell Nutrition. Paczosa combined evidence-based nutrition science with a

    compassionate approach to counseling patients to deliver health outcomes and improve patients’ day-to-day lives.

    She has personally counseled hundreds of patients ranging from severe eating disorder cases to diabetics to high-

    performance athletes.

    A few years later, iLiveWell Nutrition has become Nourish — a nationwide, virtual-first nutrition group focused on

    addressing America’s healthcare crisis through greater access to nutrition care. Paczosa now serves as the Chief

    Clinical Officer of Nourish and what started out as just an idea now serves thousands of patients, nearly all of whom use

    the service via telehealth and are completely covered by their health insurance.

  • What would you do to feel better in your body if you knew your body size or shape would not change? This is the question I am pondering in this episode. I wonder how thinking about this question might provide some insight about how to live into 2023. Do you have objections to how this idea could possibly lead you down a healthy path? Listen in! You may just find the key to unlocking true control in your life.

    Would you like to explore an anti-diet path this year and see how it changes your relationship with food and your body?

    I invite you to check out the Ditch the Diet Boot Camp.

    It is a six-week intensive of everything you need to know to take a different path moving forward.

    Details at this link!

    go.shamefreeeating.com/bootcamp

    We will cover:

    The history and harms of diets The foundations of intuitive eating - identifying the cues that your body gives you, and how to trust them Solid strategies for habit change Authentic nutrition answers to common health conditions and questions.
  • Goals, resolutions, life changes...how can you frame them in your life to be empowering and beneficial instead of shaming? In this episode, I chat about three ways to do that and provide examples. Maybe one will resonate with you!

    Are you looking for support in the coming year? I will be offering the six-week Ditch the Diet Boot Camp starting on January 10th. This is our fast track to food freedom. We will dive deep and fast into unlearning dieting mentality, why it’s so important, and how to start trusting, listening and learning from your body.

    These are the tools that we need in order to eventually make those habit changes that you may be trying to work on (or think you should be making new years goals around). Jumping into nutrition rules and restrictions and new meal plans without this foundation is what sends people back into the diet binge shame cycle.

    If you’re interested at all or want to learn more…Get on my waitlist. People who are on the waitlist will also be available for a special discount. It’s a win/win…more info, no obligation, and special discount just for those on the list if you choose to go for it!

  • Motivation, morality, and food. Do you feel a sense of pride for eating certain foods and then guilt or shame when you make other choices? Maybe you are trying to motivate yourself to eat certain foods with the assertion that it is the "right" and "moral" thing to do.

    Listen in as I chat with my friend Courtney about this and some insight that she gleaned from something that clinical psychologist Dr. Becky said recently. We also pull from my episode with Dr. Shawn Hondorp to glean additional insight on this topic by reviewing her three psychological needs for autonomous motivation.

This is one of their all-time favorite movies, and after I watched it recently it was clear that a podcast discussion was necessary!

  • In this episode, I chat with three of my core tribe besties about the book More Than A Body by Lexi and Lindsay Kite. We discuss topics from the first few sections of the book and get real about our own lives.

    We have all been negatively impacted by the societal objectification of our bodies. How do we handle it? Do you think about how you appear to others versus who you are or how you exist in your life? You are not alone. Listen in and follow along in the book if that’s your jam. Then join us again next week as we dive into more of the book, talking about comparison, navigating objectification with kids, and being yourself.

  • Listen in as I go live on the UnDiet App answering some great listener/follower questions!

    We talk about if alcohol and intuitive eating can coexist...spoiler, they can, and what that might look like.

    We dive into physical versus mental food restriction and hunger, staying on the challenging body image/embodiment path when your body changes and it feels scary, and the age-old objection that weight loss must be necessary to help with sore knees.

    I also answer some digestive health questions that pertain to IBS, lactose, and dealing with food intolerances.

    You may be wondering where it was that I went live to answer these questions, and the answer is the UnDiet Your Mind App. It's a wonderful resource with a variety of Anti-diet and HAES aligned practitioners provide recorded classes, courses, meditations, exercises, articles and more.
