Isabel Foxen Duke shares her personal story of chronic dieting and how her quest for thinness ultimately led her to treatment for an addiction to cocaine.

This episode goes in a different direction than the norm: Kathleen and Paige dive into providing tips and resources for those who love someone who is struggling with food.

This podcast outlines ways to identify when things are going well with your relationship with food. It's understandable that we spend significant amounts of time talking about where things go wrong and what to do about it, but I think it's also useful to look at food, nutrition, and body image from the perspective of what's going right. In other words, how can we see progress? What are the skills, habits, and behaviors of those who are in a positive, happy place with food? I dove into this topic and expanded on common sticking points for clients.   In the second part of the episode, Paige answers listener questions. One of them was: how do I know if I'm ready for the gentle nutrition part of Intuitive Eating? Paige provides specific advice for exploring this question individually because there's truly no one answer to this.   Links mentioned: June's webinar: The Positive Nutrition® Approach to Meal Planning Subscribe to keep in touch Positive Nutrition for Life: Heal Your Relationship with Food online course Positive Nutrition 101: The Science of Nutrition without the Gimmicks online course Mindful Eating Workshop online course Donate to the podcast Positive Nutrition Blog Follow Paige on Instagram

"Okay this is all great, but what should I eat?!"  If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked this question, I'd a rich woman! While it's totally understandable to want answers to this question, it's actually much more difficult to answer than most people think. What a person eats is highly dependent on many factors: accessibility of food, socioeconomic status, hunger levels, social gatherings, cultural factors, and more. You can see how difficult it is as a registered dietitian to answer this seemingly simple question. People understandably want answers about nutrition.  But, since deciding what to eat is more nuanced than most people give it credit for, I've decided to break down the process of deciding what to eat with a simple metaphor you can implement and explore today. Join me for a podcast exploring a simple way to help you decide what to eat.

As a journalist, Virginia Sole-Smith tells stories of women. With her new book, The Eating Instinct: Food Culture, Body Image and Guilt in America, Virginia explores how we can find the power to reconnect to our bodies and our own innate understanding of how to eat in a culture that’s constantly giving women so many mixed messages about both those things.    In this episode, Virginia shares about how she began her career giving diet advice in teen and women’s magazines and experiencing cognitive dissonance as she navigated her own body image struggles. Virginia shares how her daughter suddenly stopped eating as a newborn and how this affected her as a mother. She explores how seeing her daughter struggle with food helped Virginia challenge the dominate narrative that demonizes food. The Eating Instinct tells the stories of women, men, and children, all learning how to eat again, on their own terms and shares more about how her daughter finally reconnected to her eating instinct.   Links mentioned: Virginia's book: The Eating Instinct Virginia's website: https://virginiasolesmith.com/ May's Positive Nutrition webinar is for registered dietitians: ACT Mindfully: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Dietetics Practice and will be worth 1.5 CEUs - May 21, 2019 at 10am MST Subscribe to keep in touch Positive Nutrition for Life: Heal Your Relationship with Food online course Positive Nutrition 101: The Science of Nutrition without the Gimmicks online course Mindful Eating Workshop online course Donate to the podcast Positive Nutrition Blog Follow Paige on Instagram

Cooking for one can be difficult to navigate for many reasons. It's easy to get into the mindset that it's not worth it to cook for one. All the diet rules swimming around in your brain can make cooking more difficult than it needs to be. It's also easy to struggle with taking on the entire task of planning, shopping, preparing, eating and cleaning up alone.

In this episode, I go through listener questions about intuitive eating, making peace with food and how to navigate diet culture.   Here are some more specific questions I dive into in this podcast episode: How can I ease the anxiety of rest and eating recovery amounts compared to others? What is your story of getting into nutrition and dietetics? How do you handle it when your kids are exposed to diet culture messages? Is breakfast okay to skip? Bingers versus restricters: are there differences in how you help those two types? What are your thoughts about someone who is recovering and going into dietetics? I am getting tripped up with IE when it comes to feeling sick when I eat certain foods.   Links mentioned: Body Image Resilience group starts April 23!

We discuss her dissertation studies on the gut microbiome and environmental pollutants and specifically take a deep dive into how her views of nutrition and science in general shifted as she continued through her schooling. She breaks down some of the most interesting aspects of the science of gut health and explains why media literacy is more critical in today's world than ever.   Jessie explains what all the hype about gut health is all about and helps separate differentiate between what we know about the gut and what we still are looking for in the research. She outlines some of her best tips for promoting gut health and explains why there's more to it than food and eating.   Here are some more specific topics we dive into in this podcast episode: probiotics: good, bad, or somewhere in the middle? prebiotics: necessary or just a hype? the gut-brain axis how to promote gut health when elimination diets are not the answer to gut woes why farting is normal (haha)   Links mentioned: Follow Jessie on Instagram Subscribe to keep in touch Positive Nutrition for Life: Heal Your Relationship with Food online course Positive Nutrition 101: The Science of Nutrition without the Gimmicks online course Mindful Eating Workshop online course Donate to the podcast Positive Nutrition Blog Follow Paige on Instagram

Lexie and Lindsay Kite, PhD of Beauty Redefined® joined Paige on the podcast to talk about a topic that they've been outspoken about since the inception of their non-profit: modesty and Mormon culture (also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).    All three of us get this question a lot: does Utah have a particularly higher rate of eating and/or body image issues than the rest of the US? We explore this question and more together in this episode. It's a nerve wracking topic to explore (in fact, Lexie had hives all throughout the recording process) but we did our best to do this complicated and important topic justice and look at all sides of the coin.    Lindsay and Lexie have a nuanced way of viewing modesty rhetoric which has benefits for women and girls as well as men and boys. Since religion and culture are often intertwined, we discussed the experience of body image through the lens of a faith tradition that's prominent in the Intermountain West and throughout the world in an effort to explore a topic that has even wider cultural implications for folks in any religious or cultural community.    Links mentioned: Lexie and Lindsay's website: https://beautyredefined.org/ Buy tickets for the Body of Evidence workshop on April 4, 2019 Beauty Redefined's body image curriculum for church groups Mindful Eating Workshop online course Subscribe to keep in touch Positive Nutrition for Life: Heal Your Relationship with Food online course Positive Nutrition 101: The Science of Nutrition without the Gimmicks online course Donate to the podcast Positive Nutrition Blog Follow Paige on Instagram

As a Coast Guard wife, she looks forward to seeing where the sails will take them next.   In this episode, we discuss the common struggles and concerns during the holiday season with food, body image, social stress, and more. We discuss these ideas in depth: Diet talk: constant chatter about calories, being “bad” for eating, losing weight, the diet they’re going to go on in January, etc. All or nothing thinking: we see this all times of year but it seems to be especially bad during the holiday season where people are promising themselves that they’ll restrict again in the new year. Feeling worried about family gatherings and judgement or not understanding your choices around food/eating/body image: this one is HUGE for clients. Molly provides some practical advice about how to navigate these tough social situations this time of year. Mixed messages about yummy, enjoyable food experience while everyone sits around and talks about how “bad” they’re being for eating those foods. If this is a hard time of year because you’ve experienced loss, or you’re struggling in other ways: Skills for navigating the holiday season. Molly provides ideas and skills to practice before holiday events, during stressful times and then after difficult situations. Just a reminder! I am taking a two-month break from podcasting during the months of November and December of 2018. Enjoy the rest of this year, everyone, and keep in touch with me via Instagram or Facebook!
