Podcasts about body changes

Feeling like you have nothing to wear often stems from a disconnect with your evolving body and lifestyle. My chat with Angela Foster illuminated how personal style is more about authenticity than trends. We discussed the importance of understanding your body shape and dressing for your current life phase, rather than an idealized image. Angela's approach is about crafting a wardrobe reflecting your true self and simplifying your daily routine. By focusing less on fleeting trends and more on what resonates personally, you transform your closet into a space that supports who you are, enhancing both confidence and ease.

Joy Taylor gets personal about spending over 20 years in the public eye and the reality of having strangers constantly comment on your body, appearance, and health. In this solo episode, Joy opens up about aging, weight fluctuations, stress, wellness trends, therapy, and learning to embrace softness instead of constantly trying to “fix” herself. After recent bloodwork revealed extremely high stress levels, Joy began reevaluating her relationship with fitness, health, and self-image. She explains why personalized health matters, why internet commentary can be dangerous, and why people should be more gentle with themselves and others. A vulnerable conversation about health, self-worth, and surviving the pressure of public life.

Hormones don't just decline, they fluctuate, making symptoms unpredictable and confusing. Loss of muscle mass lowers metabolism, making it easier to gain weight without changing your diet. Fat distribution shifts toward the abdomen, increasing visceral fat and health risks. Insulin resistance and cortisol elevation make fat loss harder and increase hunger. Poor sleep and chronic stress amplify weight gain and disrupt metabolism. Old strategies like excessive cardio or fasting often stop working in this phase of life. Strength training and building muscle are essential for long-term metabolic health. Proper nutrition, especially enough protein, fiber, and balanced meals becomes more important than ever. Nervous system regulation and true rest are key drivers of weight loss and overall health. Weight loss resistance is also emotional and behavioral, not just physical. Building self-awareness, self-trust, and compassion is critical for sustainable results. You are not broken, your body requires a new approach in this phase of life.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 03:37 Defining Perimenopause and Its Symptoms 04:28 Hormonal Fluctuations and Diagnosis Challenges 06:55 Hormones and Metabolic Changes in Perimenopause 10:27 Hormonal Impact on Body Fat Redistribution 12:07 The Role of Muscle Mass and Metabolism 16:18 Importance of Resistance Training and Building Muscle 18:52 Visceral Fat and Health Risks 21:59 Body Image, Grief, and Societal Expectations 26:26 Hormonal and Metabolic Interconnections 31:44 Sleep Disruption and Its Effects 33:27 Movement, Exercise, and Building Strength 36:49 Nutrition, Carbohydrates, and Blood Sugar 41:26 Stress, Cortisol, and Nervous System Impact 42:08 Joy, Self-Compassion, and Emotional Well-being 47:35 Self-acceptance and Body Changes 51:57 Mindset, Self-Trust, and Empowerment 56:26 The Role of Education and Self-knowledge 01:01:19 Supporting Long-term Transformation and Self-Discovery 01:03:19 Upcoming Masterclass and Resources   Stay Wild.

In this episode, we're getting real about motherhood—like, the stuff no one actually prepares you for. From pregnancy surprises to postpartum realities, we're sharing the honest, messy, and sometimes hilarious truths about becoming a mom. We talk hormones, healing, expectations vs. reality, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it all. But more than anything, this episode is a reminder that even in the chaos, the discomfort, and the unknowns—motherhood is deeply worth it. We're leaning into gratitude, laughing through the wild moments, and reminding each other (and you!) that God is present in every single part of the journey. Whether you're pregnant, hoping to be, or just curious about what motherhood is really like—this one's for you.

What if the eating challenges you have struggled with were never just about food? In this deeply validating and expansive conversation, Dr. Marianne sits down with Margo White, CPN, to explore the intersection of autism, ADHD, and eating disorders through a neurodivergent-affirming lens. Margo shares her lived experience of being late-identified as autistic and ADHD, and how years of unmet needs, sensory overwhelm, and trauma shaped her relationship with food, her body, and herself. This episode gently reframes eating disorders not as isolated problems, but as meaningful adaptations that develop in response to a nervous system trying to survive. Autism, ADHD, and Eating Disorders: Understanding the Overlap Autism and ADHD are closely connected with eating disorders, yet this relationship is often misunderstood or overlooked in traditional treatment models. Margo shares how her neurodivergent brain shaped her early experiences, including sensory sensitivities, difficulty feeling connected, and a persistent sense of not fitting in. Without the language or support to understand these experiences, food became a place of predictability, comfort, and regulation. This conversation expands the narrative around anorexia and other eating disorders by exploring how they can emerge from unmet needs, overwhelm, and the need for safety, rather than solely from body image concerns. Late Diagnosis of Autism and ADHD: A Turning Point in Recovery Receiving a late diagnosis of autism and ADHD can be a profound shift. Margo describes this as a “lightbulb moment,” where years of confusion and self-blame suddenly made sense. Patterns that once felt like personal failures became understandable responses to a neurodivergent brain navigating a world that was not built for it. This reframe is often a critical piece of healing. When people understand their brain, they can begin to meet their needs more directly, which can significantly change their relationship with food and reduce reliance on eating disorder behaviors. Sensory Needs, Food Preferences, and ARFID A core part of this conversation focuses on sensory needs and how they shape eating. Many autistic and ADHD individuals experience strong preferences around texture, temperature, predictability, and even the utensils they use. Margo and Dr. Marianne explore how these preferences are often mislabeled as disordered when they are actually reflections of a neurodivergent nervous system. They discuss how something as simple as using a specific spoon or eating foods in a certain order can be rooted in sensory comfort rather than pathology. The conversation also highlights the overlap between ARFID and neurodivergence, and how nervous system regulation can expand flexibility with food over time. Rather than forcing exposure or compliance, a neurodivergent-affirming approach centers safety, choice, and collaboration. Anorexia, Trauma, and the Search for Safety Margo shares openly about her experience with anorexia and how it developed within the context of bullying, low self-worth, and unmet emotional needs. Food and restriction became ways to create structure and a sense of control when everything else felt overwhelming and unpredictable. This part of the episode reframes eating disorders as protective strategies. While harmful, they often emerge to help someone cope with distress, regulate emotions, or navigate an environment that feels unsafe. Understanding this function can shift how we approach recovery, moving away from blame and toward compassion. Neurodivergent-Affirming Eating Disorder Recovery Recovery, especially for neurodivergent people, is not about forcing oneself into rigid food rules or expectations. Margo shares how her healing involved learning about her brain, honoring her sensory needs, and creating environments that felt safe enough for her nervous system to relax. Instead of trying to eliminate comfort eating or achieve perfection with food, she learned to build flexibility and trust. Recovery became less about control and more about responsiveness, allowing her to eat in ways that supported her body while respecting her sensory experiences. This approach offers a powerful alternative to traditional models that can unintentionally increase shame or overwhelm. Body Changes, Weight Gain, and Healing from Weight Stigma A deeply important part of recovery is navigating body changes. Margo speaks candidly about gaining weight in recovery and how this brought up past trauma from being bullied in a larger body. These experiences did not disappear simply because her behaviors changed. Instead, they required ongoing processing and support. This section explores how weight stigma shapes both eating disorders and recovery, and how individuals can begin to build safety and acceptance in their bodies over time. Margo also speaks about reclaiming the word “fat” as neutral, separating it from the harm that society has attached to it. ARFID in Autism and ADHD: Supporting Families Margo also shares about her upcoming parent course designed to support families navigating ARFID in children and teens. Grounded in a neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed approach, the course focuses on reducing pressure, increasing safety, and rebuilding connection around food. The course addresses how ARFID intersects with other experiences such as PDA, OCD, trauma, and burnout, and offers practical ways for caregivers to create predictable, supportive environments. Rather than focusing on compliance, the emphasis is on collaboration, understanding, and meeting the child where they are. From Survival to Flexibility: What Recovery Can Look Like One of the most powerful themes in this episode is the shift from survival to flexibility. Margo reflects on how her relationship with food has changed, including moments where she can now eat in environments that once felt overwhelming or unsafe. These shifts are not about forcing change, but about building enough safety and support that new possibilities become accessible. Recovery does not mean thoughts never return. It means having the awareness and tools to respond differently, with more compassion and less fear.

Most people still believe eating disorders only begin in adolescence or early adulthood. But restrictive eating can develop later in life, and midlife can be a particularly vulnerable time. Changes in the body, new health conditions, medications, major life transitions, and cultural pressure around aging can all shape someone's relationship with food. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne explores why restrictive eating in midlife is more common than many people realize and why it often goes unnoticed. She discusses how bodies change as we mature, how medications and medical diagnoses can alter appetite and body composition, and why restrictive eating may be socially accepted or even praised in older adults. This conversation also looks at the emotional and cultural factors that can make midlife a turning point in someone's relationship with food. If eating has become more rigid, stressful, or rule-driven later in life, you are not alone. Eating disorders after 40 are real, and recovery is possible. Restrictive Eating in Midlife Restrictive eating in midlife often develops gradually. Someone may begin skipping meals, cutting out food groups, or eating less in response to body changes, stress, or health concerns. What begins as small adjustments can slowly become more rigid and anxiety-driven. Dr. Marianne explains how restrictive eating patterns in midlife can sometimes be mistaken for healthy lifestyle changes. Because restriction is often praised in adults, it can be difficult for people to recognize when eating has become disordered. Eating Disorders After 40 and Late-Onset Eating Disorders Eating disorders after 40 are more common than many people realize. Research and clinical experience show that late-onset eating disorders can develop during midlife due to life transitions, hormonal changes, chronic stress, or new medical conditions. In this episode, Dr. Marianne discusses why people who develop eating disorders later in life often feel confused or isolated. Because eating disorders are so frequently associated with youth, many adults struggle to understand what they are experiencing. Body Changes in Midlife and Restrictive Eating Bodies naturally change as we age. Hormones shift, metabolism evolves, and body composition often changes during midlife. Perimenopause, menopause, sleep changes, stress, and shifting activity levels can all influence appetite and energy levels. Dr. Marianne explores how body changes in midlife can create distress or uncertainty for many people, especially in a culture that pressures individuals to maintain the same body size throughout adulthood. These experiences can lead some people to try to manage body changes through restrictive eating. Health Conditions, Medications, and Changes in Eating Patterns Midlife is also a time when many people begin navigating new health diagnoses or medications. Certain medications can change appetite, digestion, metabolism, or body composition. Medical conversations about weight or health markers can also increase attention on food and eating behaviors. Dr. Marianne discusses how health conditions and medications can unintentionally contribute to restrictive eating patterns when people feel pressure to control body changes or manage symptoms through food restriction. Why Restrictive Eating Can Be Socially Accepted in Midlife Restrictive eating in older adults often goes unnoticed because it may be socially encouraged. Eating less, avoiding certain foods, or losing weight is frequently framed as discipline or commitment to health. Dr. Marianne explains how diet culture and weight stigma can reinforce restrictive eating behaviors, making it harder for people to recognize when their relationship with food has become rigid or distressing. Eating Disorder Recovery in Midlife Recovery from restrictive eating is possible at any stage of life. Midlife can even bring strengths to the recovery process, including deeper self-awareness, life experience, and a clearer sense of personal values. In this episode, Dr. Marianne discusses how recovery can include building a more compassionate relationship with the body, recognizing that bodies naturally change over time, and challenging cultural messages that equate worth with body size or control over food.

In this episode, Alix & Kayla explore stories from people who have transitioned and later detransitioned, unpacking the deeply personal, emotional, and complex experiences behind those journeys. From informed consent and puberty to trauma, social influence, and the evolving language around gender identity, they discuss how identity formation can shift over time—and why holding space for nuance matters.Through anonymous community stories and open conversation, they reflect on how gender, sexuality, and self-perception intersect with mental health, relationships, and the pressure to “figure it out” too quickly.This is a compassionate, layered conversation about gender identity, detransition stories, queer community belonging, and the reality that self-discovery isn't always linear.00:00 – Intro + Life Updates in Nicaragua 02:00 – Hyperfixations & Mormon Memoirs 04:20 – Marriage “Would You Rather” Game 15:20 – Today's Topic: Transition & Detransition Stories 16:00 – News Story: Malpractice Case & Gender-Affirming Care 20:00 – What “Detransition” Means 22:00 – Informed Consent & Medical Decision-Making 26:30 – Why This Conversation Matters in Queer Spaces 30:00 – Anonymous Story: Transition, Fertility & Identity 32:00 – Puberty, Body Changes & Gender Confusion 38:30 – Trauma, Identity & Transition Motivations 44:00 – Social Influence, Language & Self-Understanding 48:00 – Internalized Misogyny & Gender Expectations 52:00 – Does Transition Resolve Dysphoria? 55:00 – Therapy, Root Causes & Identity Exploration 58:30 – Growing Up Tomboy & Gender Expression 01:02:00 – The Complexity of Identity & Final Thoughts

Running doesn't destroy your body—sitting on the couch for 30 years does.If you've ever wondered what running is actually doing to your body long term, this episode breaks it wide open in a way most runners never think about. I unpack what really changes inside your muscles, brain, and cardiovascular system when you run consistently, why so many runners get injured despite good intentions, and what separates those who quit early from those still running strong decades later. More importantly, I walk through the simple training shifts that protect your body, extend your longevity, and help you build a version of yourself that's still moving well far into the future.Key TakeawaysConsistent running improves heart health, brain function, and cellular adaptation over time. But loading too fast or training recklessly cancels those benefits and leads to breakdown instead.Your lungs and muscles adapt quickly, but tendons take months to catch up. When runners push mileage or intensity before the body is ready, injury risk skyrockets.Progress gradually, keep most runs easy, and treat recovery as real training. Those who follow this approach stay consistent, avoid burnout, and keep running strong for decades.Timestamps[00:33] What You'll Learn[01:12] The Body Changes[03:04] Always Tell Yourself a Believable Future Story[04:07] Pillar 1: Load Slowly[05:29] Use This To Run Without Injury or Burnout Forever[06:32] Pillar 2: Run Slow[07:51] Pillar 3: Recovery Is Training[08:50] How Runners Can Keep Showing Up[09:36] How to Really Start Running (Even if You Took a Break)Links & Learnings

Why does moving your body change how you feel about yourself before your body ever changes?In this episode of Mental Health School, we discuss the real reason exercise improves confidence, mood, and emotional regulation—and it has very little to do with weight loss or aesthetics.If you've ever:Felt resistance to exercise but guilt for “not doing enough”Believed workouts had to be intense, miserable, or punishing to “count”Used scrolling, numbing, or alcohol to cope instead of movementStruggled with motivation even though you know movement helpsThis episode will shift how you see physical activity forever.You'll learn why movement changes your identity first, not your body—by rewiring how you see yourself, how you handle stress, and how safe you feel inside your own nervous system. We explore the biological impact of movement on dopamine and endorphins, and the psychological impact of becoming someone who follows through on what they say they'll do.This isn't about getting smaller. It's about feeling more energized, regulated, confident, and alive.You'll also be guided through a powerful series of movement-based affirmations designed to:Reprogram exercise as a therapeutic coping skillReplace the “lazy” or “unmotivated” identity with an energized oneHelp you feel better emotionally—starting todayMake rest feel more restful and stress easier to handleYou'll discover why even a short daily walk can:Improve mood and mental clarityReduce stress and anxietyIncrease self-trust and confidenceHelp you feel more at ease throughout the dayThis episode is for anyone who wants to feel better mentally, emotionally, and physically—without punishment, pressure, or extremes.Come back to this episode often to continue rewiring your beliefs and fully understand this truth:Moving your body changes how you feel about yourself—long before your body ever changes.

In this poignant episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with oncology nurse educator Robby Wallace to discuss the often-overlooked physical and emotional toll of cancer treatment. While medical teams focus on eradicating the disease, patients are frequently left to navigate profound shifts in their body image, identity, and daily functionality on their own. Robby sheds light on the gaps in the current healthcare system, explaining why patients often feel lost in medical jargon and why having a patient advocate is crucial. From the trauma of hair loss to the complexities of fertility and intimacy, this conversation offers a compassionate look at what it truly means to heal the person, not just the patient.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_bite Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In today's episode, we're talking about body changes in eating disorder recovery — the ones no one really prepares you for. The physical shifts, the emotional reactions, and the moments where your body feels unfamiliar or hard to sit with.If you're struggling with how your body is changing, you're not doing recovery wrong. This part is hard. In this episode, I talk honestly about why body changes happen, why they can feel so confronting even when you know recovery is the right thing, and how to cope when your thoughts feel loud. We'll explore ways to stay grounded, reduce body focus, and build tolerance for discomfort without trying to rush acceptance.You don't have to love your body to recover. You just have to keep showing up for yourself with a bit of kindness and patience. This episode is here to remind you that you're not alone in this, and that body changes are a sign of healing, not failure.Let me know your thoughts!

Perimenopause can feel unpredictable, emotional, and deeply disorienting, especially when your body changes quickly and nothing seems to work the way it used to. In this story session, I'm joined by Britney, a 49-year-old therapist navigating late perimenopause, who shares her honest experience with weight changes, fatigue, mood swings, and the fear that often shows up alongside them.Together, we talk about what it's really like to move from panic and food rules into trust, attunement, and food freedom in midlife. This episode explores how stepping out of diet culture, wearing clothes that fit your today body, and finding supportive community can free up mental space and help you feel more like yourself again, even in the middle of uncertainty.If you're in perimenopause and struggling with body image, confusing symptoms, or your relationship with food, this conversation will help you feel less alone and more hopeful about what's possible next.Learn more about Britney's work here: www.lecofva.comIf you'd like to join the Feaster community, learn more at https://www.menopausenutritionist.ca/themidlifefeastcommunityWhat did you think of this episode?
