  • Welcome to my Summer Throwback Playlist—a handpicked collection of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast. These are listener favorites, packed with insights, laughs, and empowered eating encouragement to keep you fueled all summer long.

    A quick heads up: since these are throwbacks, you might hear old references to programs or events that are no longer active—but the heart of each episode still hits. Let’s dive in and revisit the best of the best!

    In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most talked-about weight loss medications on the market: Ozempic—also known by names like Wegovy and Mounjaro.

    You’ve likely seen the buzz: celebrity endorsements, dramatic TikTok before-and-afters, and headlines calling it a “miracle drug.” I’ve had clients take it, ask about it, swear by it, and question it. I’ve also heard from colleagues with very strong opinions on both sides.

    So, what’s the truth?

    What is Ozempic really designed for?

    How does it work?

    Does it actually help with weight loss?

    And most importantly—is it safe?

    I’m sharing a brief overview of the science, my clinical observations, and why this conversation matters—especially in a world where body image, quick fixes, and long-term health often clash.

    ⚠️ Trigger Warning: If you're currently struggling with or recovering from an eating disorder, please listen with care or consider skipping this episode. Ozempic is contraindicated for anyone with a history of eating disorders.

    Want to go deeper? I reference two excellent episodes that continue this conversation: "Science Vs." and "Honestly".

    How often do you find yourself in this situation:

    You’re on your way somewhere—probably running late—and for the first time all day, you actually notice your body’s biofeedback… and it’s saying you’re hungry.With nothing around to grab, that hunger can escalate fast into full-on hanger—and let’s be honest, hanger never helps anyone.

    That’s exactly why today’s episode is all about smart snacking. As a dietitian (and a busy mom), there are two things I always look for when building a snack:

    How can I boost energy without a crash?

    How can I hit my protein goals?Oh—and let’s not forget:

    How can I save time?

    If you’re ready to check all three boxes, this episode is for you. I’m sharing my #1 snack hack that keeps energy steady, protein on point, and your day flowing with fewer interruptions (and fewer mood swings).

  • You’ve heard it before — “self-care isn’t selfish” — but let’s take it further: self-care is giving. Giving your body what it needs. Giving yourself permission to rest, eat, move, and show up without apology. In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 steps to Empowered Eating, including how to stop shrinking yourself (literally and figuratively) and start owning your space like the queen you are. If you’ve ever felt like nutrition had to come with punishment, pressure, or perfection... this one’s for you.

  • Summer is full of joyful moments—vacations, pool parties, sunshine—but sometimes, one photo can pull us out of the memory and into self-judgment. In this episode, Jess shares how to navigate body image triggers that pop up in pictures and social settings, and how to shift from insecurity to empowerment.

    With a personal story from Water World, a relatable lesson from her son’s soccer tryout, and science-backed insights on emotion regulation and perception, this episode reminds you that you are more than what a photo captures—and you're probably farther along than you think.

    🔍 What You’ll Learn:

    Why body image tends to flare during summer—and what to do about it

    How to use post-photo emotions as feedback, not failure

    What Jess’s son’s soccer experience taught her about expectations vs. effort

    The power of naming your emotions (backed by neuroscience!)

    How hydration, food, and rest impact how we see ourselves

    Why you should zoom out and take a fuller look at your progress

    🧠 Biofeedback Boss Tip:

    Sometimes frustration comes from not being fully honest with ourselves. Zoom out, get curious, and look at both what you have done and what’s still in progress.

    🧪 Nerdy Nutrition Nugget:

    Naming emotions reduces emotional reactivity.Research shows that labeling feelings like shame or insecurity can calm the brain and help us move through the moment with more clarity and compassion.

    🧭 Value Compass:

    Life is happening—don’t miss it trying to ‘fix’ your face or body.Beauty isn’t just what you see in the mirror. It’s the energy, the laughter, and the lived experience behind the image.

  • Summer schedules are chaotic—between travel, hot weather, and shifting routines, it’s easy for nutrition to fall off track. In this episode, Jess shares her go-to summer staples and one major takeaway from her own biofeedback last year: don’t underestimate the power of a solid snack.

    You'll walk away with simple ideas for energizing meals and snacks that actually work with busy, real-life days—plus a few surprising tips on hydration, blood sugar, and why summer carbs aren’t the enemy.

    🔍 What You’ll Learn:

    Why summer throws off your eating rhythm—and what to do about it

    How post-meal energy dips are really your body asking for fuel (not more coffee)

    A quick breakdown of glycemic load vs. glycemic index

    How to simplify nutrition without sacrificing energy or fullness

    💡 Biofeedback Boss Tip:

    Use your post-meal energy as a guide—if you’re crashing, it might not be about caffeine. It might be about blood sugar.

    🧠 Nerdy Nutrition Nugget:

    Learn why carbs aren't the enemy, how glycemic load impacts your energy, and why sodium matters for summer hydration.

    🧭 Value Compass:

    Nutrition should add to your life, not complicate it. A little planning (like stashing snacks or mapping out simple meals) can go a long way in keeping you fueled—not frazzled—this summer.
