Welcome to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! I am so happy you are here with me this week.
I didn't post a podcast last week because, truly, I didn't want to! I know I know, the algorithm is probably upset with me BUT, I am leaning in to doing things that ONLY feel aligned and last week, it just didn't.
I have come to many realizations in the past few months regarding hustle culture... and honestly, I want to opt out. I am curious, how do you feel about it? Do you see the similarities between diet culture and hustle culture?
This week, I want to talk about the "non-negotiables" if you want a great relationship with food.
If you are feeling that way right now, you’re not alone and this episode is for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The resemblance between diet culture and hustle culture
- The 4 steps you CANNOT skip of you want true food freedom

Welcome to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! I am so happy you are here with me this week.
I am starting to feel a big shift in my energy now that winter is starting to come to a close. Back in November, I shared how much of a negative impact the winter months have on me as I am truly a summer person so the change in temperature is certainly welcome.
I know that this time of year can be challenging for many of us because there’s a lot of pressure to be bikini body ready. We know that in the summertime, it’s very likely that more of our body's going to be exposed which can make us feel very vulnerable and push us to want to diet for the summertime.
If you are feeling that way right now, you’re not alone and this episode is for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
- [02:48] Dealing with diet culture leading up to the summer months
- [06:11] The impact of wellness culture on eating disorders
- [07:30] Wellness culture and diet culture
- [12:05] Sneaky ways wellness culture shows up in everyday life

This week we’re running a replay of a solo episode I did a couple of years ago about 6 reasons why food freedom or healing your relationship with food has not worked in the past.
In this episode, we discuss:
[02:15] Reason #1: You are still restricting
[03:21] Reason #2: You are just not eating enough
[04:32] Reason #3: You have not addressed your internalized fat phobia
[06:07] Reason #4: You are still listening to external sources to tell us what we need
[07:50] Reason #5: You are doing mindless eating
[10:33] Reason #6: You try to add more control around food

Welcome to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! Hello friends. If you are listening to this when it first airs (February 25, 2023) I am currently in Aruba with my husband and family really disconnecting and living my best life. I am so pumped that you are listening to this podcast episode.
As I was preparing for this trip, something I really wanted to talk about is body changes because our bodies are made to change however we were taught and made to believe that our bodies should never change. That is extremely harmful messaging. No matter where you are on your journey, body change is hard.
In this episode, we discuss:
[03:56] Body changes can be hard no matter where you are on your journey
[07:00] Looking at body changes in a neutral way
[08:22] Dealing with body changes and taking care of our body
[10:07] Working on our thoughts and beliefs
[14:18] My body is not my worth

Welcome to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! I hope you are doing so wonderful. It is already mid-February. Last week I got to host another workshop on emotional eating. It was so good. I love to be able to teach about emotional eating because it really bridges my love of psychology and nutrition together. I feel this is a topic that has a lot of shame and guilt around it.
One of the themes that came out a lot at the workshop that I wanted to bring on this podcast is the idea that if I know that emotional eating is not helping me why do I keep doing it? A lot of hopelessness starts to set in when we feel out of control and can not stop.
In this episode, we discuss:
[03:38] If we know something doesn’t work for us, why do we continue doing it?
[04:51] Food and emotions are deeply linked
[07:28] Emotional eating is a often way we cope
[09:32] Making peace with the fact that food has been our coping
[12:02] The most impactful work you can do
