One Small Bite

Embracing Movement for Wellness: Beyond the MythsThis episode of the 'One Small Bite' podcast, hosted by David Orozco, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, delves into the misconceptions surrounding exercise, movement, and their impact on health and weight loss. David revisits the conversation with intern Dianna Thomas, an expert in movement and weight loss, focusing on personal experiences with diet culture and the importance of incorporating a weight-inclusive approach to helping clients enhance their health and wellness. They debunk the myth of needing to engage in excessive exercise for health, discussing the signs of overtraining and emphasizing the benefits of integrating small, consistent movements into daily life for overall well-being. The episode highlights studies that question the rigid benchmarks of physical activity, like the 10,000-steps-a-day goal, advocating instead for enjoyable and sustainable forms of movement. David's approach—centered on curiosity, compassion, commitment, and consistency—encourages listeners to explore movement beyond conventional exercise, aiming for a healthy balance that fosters both physical and mental health for a long and nourished life One Small Bite at time! 00:00 Welcome and Special Offer for Listeners01:15 Introducing the One Small Bites Show02:01 Diving into Movement and Weight Loss: Part Two02:35 Personal Stories and Debunking Diet Myths05:11 Understanding Overtraining and Its Effects14:44 The Mental and Physical Toll of Excessive Exercise19:41 Addressing Gym Intimidation and Promoting Inclusive Movement28:43 Differentiating Between Movement and Exercise32:08 Redefining Exercise: Beyond the Numbers33:25 Debunking the 10k Steps Myth: A Deep Dive34:30 The Impact of Movement on Longevity35:01 Study Insights: Steps, Intensity, and Mortality38:08 Challenges and Limitations of Fitness Tracking40:36 Personalizing Fitness: Lulu's Journey50:24 The Philosophy of Small Steps to Health

Not so long ago I had a client that came to me wanting to find the best workout routine and diet plan to lose weight and keep it off. She felt the need to find a high intensity daily training fitness plan in order for her to lose the weight and keep it off for good. She was motivated and I remember she told me she had the "willpower" to stick with it this time. However, when she started working with me she discovered the secrete to exercise and movement. What she discovered will change your view on fitness. Listen in today as we discuss...The benefits of movementThe differences between movement and exerciseWhether it's better to be moving or to exerciseHow much movement is beneficial One small approach toward moving more for a nourished lifeA little info about our wonderful guest today.

Omega-3s can be a beneficial part of someone's diet, but unfortunately our oceans are being over fished to the point of depletion. What if we had an alternative to those fish oil Omega-3s? What if we could get a renewable and plant-based source of Omega-3s that can be just as healthy for us as the famous EPA and DHA omega-3s we get from fish? Well, we can.! Listen in today to part two on my discussion on Fats, where I'll cover...Types of omega-3sHow Omega-3s are beneficial for our healthNew plant-based alternative sources of Omega-3sThe unfortunate over fishing of our oceansA meal plan for the day with health FatsLooking forward to having you join in today! 

Something so common in the nutrition and health world is this idea of the magic bullet nutrient. Fats in food used to be that magic bullet for me. I used to think that if people could just get higher amounts of monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids in their diet, things would be so much better. They'd be able to enjoy food, feel satiated more often, and not overeat. Boy was this thinking flawed! In this episode, I break down the skinny on fats in our diets. What they are, where they come from, and what to pay attention to. Listen in as I go through the four main groups of fats - Saturated, Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated, and Trans Fatty Acids. And then in my next episode I'll discuss Omega-3s and some alternatives to Omega-3s that can help us enjoy a longer, more nourished life.   I'm excited for this one. This episode is packed with great information about the types of fats that are helpful, and what to look out for in the ones that aren't. Come and join me in this two part series on the skinny on fats. 

It's time for Part 2 of what everyone should know about. If you haven't had a chance to listen to the first episode, please feel free to check it out here at Episode 183. Supplements are just that, a supplement needed to deal with a deficiency or an insufficiency. However, they are not food, which we need to survive, and they are not drugs, which are also necessary to help us survive. In today's episode I cover…Understanding what natural really means What the supplement industry doesn't tell youThe research on supplement qualityDangerous drug and supplement interactions Supplements effects on cancer and general healthBest resources available to help find the better quality supplementsOne small bite approach if you need to take a supplement

When people tell me supplements are safe because they're natural, I often tell them that poison ivy is also natural, but you wouldn't be rubbing it all over your face. This is but one of many problems with supplements, and quite frankly just the way the industry likes it. Supplements are not a life-long solution for nutrition. If it were that easy, why would we need food? Come and join me in Part 1 of this two part series on supplements. In today's episode I'll cover…What is a supplement and what are they forWhy and how they should be takenThe three variables to remember when taking supplementsThe quality, purity, accuracy, and dosage problemsWho regulates supplements and what to watch out forWhat is the financial implications of supplementsOne small bite approach if you need to take a supplementNow stay tuned for next week's episode where I'll finish off this two-parter by expanding on what to watch out for, and a food-focused approach will help you get the nutrients you need to help you live a long and nourished life. 

Just like a vegetable or flower garden, living a full and long life requires several key elements to flourish. We know that hard work, dedication, and energy are necessary, but be aware of the things out of our control. For a garden it might be things like the weather, the amount of sunlight, or the critters that enjoy the fruits of your labor first. Longevity requires managing our behaviors like diet, exercising, and sleeping well,  but it also requires a combined effort of community and support, access to quality education, access to quality healthcare, and a safe and secure environment. These things you might not have control over. In today's episode I will explore the Social Determinants of Health and how they interplay with our lifestyle habits and behaviors to enhance longevity and help us live a nourished life. In today's episode I'll cover…The comparison of healthy garden to human health and longevityWhat are the Social Determinants of HealthDescribe each of the five determinants of healthThe connection to the 5 key ingredients from last week's episodeTalk about The Harvard Study of Adult DevelopmentDiscuss the most important finding from the Harvard Study One small bite approach to begin or enhance your SDoH

Which is it, live longer or live fuller? What's more important? This is actually some of the conversations I have with many of my clients. We obviously start with nutrition, but quickly move into the 'whys'. Meaning, once we start discussing why we make the food choices we do, life starts revealing itself more and more. However, what we discover is that living longer isn't only about eating the healthiest foods, it's about who we connect with, how we sleep, whether we are active on a regular basis, what habits get in the way, and more importantly the relationships we cultivate. That's it folks! In today's episode  we will discuss the 5 Key Ingredients that will allow us to live a nourished and fulfilling life.  We'll talk about...What are the 5 Key Ingredients to a longer more fulfilling lifeA description of each of these 5 ingredients and how they are importantWhy we lose sight of these 5 ingredientsWhat you can do today to get started on improving One small bite approach that will help make that start stick

Inflammation is part of the body's defense mechanism. It is the process by which the immune system recognizes and removes harmful and foreign stimuli and begins the healing process. Inflammation can be either acute or chronic. However, harmful stimuli may not be so foreign, and can actually be induced by ourselves. Body shame, weight stigma, weight bias, is sizeism. Sizeism is a prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person's size or weight. This means that there is an ever present and chronic level of stress and negativity about their body. This stress, induced by emotional or mental negativity, can influence food choices. Often, we use hyper-palatable foods to help cope or soothe ourselves under these stressful situations. And, what's ironic is that stress is that very stimuli that increases inflammation. So is it the food or the stress that's leading to inflammation. In this episode I'll discuss the interplay between food choices, mental health, and inflammation. I will discuss... What inflammation isThe types of inflammationThe effects of inflammation on our health and longevityWhat we don't know about inflammationDiscuss how inflammation is connected to our nourishmentHow inflammation is connected to sizeism or weight stigmaProvide you with One Small Bite to manage inflammation 

I came across this article the other day titled Beyond Hunger: Understanding Food Noise, and I thought “Oh, this is interesting, Food Noise. I wonder if it's something about intuitive eating or an article about weight-inclusivity.” Well spoiler alert, it doesn't. Supposedly this idea of Food Noise is actually a term that has been floating around healthcare and various social channels. But what it is not, is a scientific and evidenced-based term. That's what I'm going to talk about in this episode... What is Food Noise and who's perpetuating itHow WW is gaslighting youHow this gaslighting is blaming you How Food Noise is propaganda to sell their servicesWhat Food Noise really is and what we can do to help

Do you remember that saying in Jurassic Park when Dr. Alan Grant said “just because you can, doesn't mean you should.” This has always stuck with me, and is even now more relevant in our digital society. The advent of CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors) are going a bit viral these days, so much that people without diabetes are starting to use them. But are they actually necessary? What's the benefit of using one if you don't have diabetes? Is there an actual benefit? In today's episode I'll discuss ...What CGM devices are and what they doWho and what they are specifically intended forThe story of how two clients fell for the trapsExplain what the research says about the benefits and costsWho should really use themHow the body better than a machineOne small approach to build interoceptive awarenessEpisode 111 - 7 Diet Trap Warning Signs - Apple Podcast, Spotify

Do you check your phone first thing in the morning, while burning your tongue on hot coffee, shoving a bagel on the way to work, and anxious about a million things? Are you the type of person that writes endless to-do lists each day, completes two of them, and then writes the same ones all over again and more the next day? Do you go nonstop all day long and barely have time have a meal. Are you that person that brags about getting up at 5 am to workout, and can get by with 5-6 hours of sleep? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then congratulations! You're a member of the Hustle or Grind Culture. In this episode I'll explore the parallels of Grind Culture to that of Diet Culture and more, like... How 80 hour work weeks won't change the worldHow the Grind exploits people's vulnerabilities and fearsUnderstand the Trauma ResponseExplore the wisdom in copingHow to do less and still reach your dreamsOne Small Bite approach

Hola! In my mini series on Eating Rhythm, today I get into the nitty-gritty with you about the importance of making peace with food, and building a positive relationship with food and your body. Did you know that not having an adequate eating rhythm is one of the main ways we develop a very negative relationship with food? Many of us often skip meals, or eat very little for a variety of reasons. Then we complain that we have problems with portions, or lack the control over our cravings and desires. The relationship with food is therefore one of control and manipulation.In this episode I discuss... What an eating rhythm is and why it's importantWhat happens when we don't have an eating rhythmHow a poor eating rhythm leads to a negative relationship with foodHow a negative relationship with food is similar to other relationships in our livesFind one small bite to start building an adequate eating rhythm, and a positive relationship with foodFor more details, feel free to visit my website for the full write up for this episode. Where do I go from here?Download the show wherever you listen to your podcasts like Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, iHeartRadio, Castbox, etc!Hit that subscribe button so you won't miss another episode.Big Ask: Leave a Rate and Review!

Anti-fat bias, weight-stigma, and fat-shaming happens both so implicitly and explicitly, that many just take it as the norm. There is idea that fat is bad, and that being fat is the same as being unhealthy, which only leads to feeling more unworthy, isolated, and hurt. In today's episode I talk with Health Coach Joe Loye on his journey through fat-shaming and transformation to Healthy At Every Size and weight-inclusivity, body positivity, and just feeling better in the body he's in. Listen in today as we discuss the main areas that fat-shaming shows up in our society and ways we can move away from that toxic thinking.Joe's journey to the weight-inclusive spaceHow fat shaming and weight stigma shows upThe differences of fat-phobia in menHow fat shaming and fat-phobia shows up in gay menHow straight people can helpHow a fat person can protect against weight-stigma and fat-phobiaResources: EVOLVE Community – We We bring together - people who want to EVOLVE their relationship with food and body - To - practice new habits, learn, share, and grow together - So that we can - have a longer and higher quality of life!

We may not be aware of the plethora of the toxic diet talk and implicit negative body and food messaging that comes at us from so many directions – TV, social media, movies, magazines, news outlets, parents, teachers, family, and friends. The pressures to be transform our bodies into something they are not, is incredibly prolific. Today, I am going to discuss the one single most important method to confront the toxic diet culture in our society…self-compassion. It may not sound like much, but self-compassion is critical to dismantling diet culture because it requires that we start with ourselves. Instead of trying to fix others, change their bodies, or force them to be healthy, self-compassion starts by looking internally within ourselves first. To be self-compassionate is to build courage, and it is courage that will stand up to the toxic diet mentality and end it.  Resources: ON Community – We We bring together - people who want to build a positive relationship with food and body - To - practice new habits, learn, share, and grow together - So that we can - have a longer and higher quality of life!

For the trendy go-getter perfectionists out there, or for those who see this stuff and feel guilty about their own performance, this information may offer some relief.The real question is - 10K steps helps what for who? Where do I go from here?If you like this episode, then download the show wherever you listen to your podcasts at Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, iHeartRadio, Castbox, etc!Hit that subscribe button so you won't miss another episode. Big Ask: Leave a Review!
