"I've never had a very lean body type. I kept showing up to these triathlons with lean-looking people and second-guessing if I deserved to be there...then smoking them on the bike and in the run, and gaining that confidence," shares Jess Cerra, a former professional cyclist, a sports nutrition entrepreneur, and now VP of Product and Community Development at Alete Active Nutrition. Cerra joins us to talk about her unusual path into high level endurance sports, and then professional cycling, while studying aspects of sports nutrition, and eventually founding a sports nutrition company. She created the JoJé bar while competing professionally, and navigating her own highs and lows in sport. She shares her experiences with the stress of professional athletics, body image, disordered eating in cycling sports, and learning how to fuel her body.

If you're stuck in a fat loss plateau, under-eating, and afraid to reverse diet because you're worried about weight gain—this episode is for you. Caitlen walks you through what true body image healing actually looks like, how chronic dieting has distorted your definition of “comfort,” and how to finally build confidence that lasts beyond the scale. We're talking real talk on metabolism health, reverse dieting, tracking macros, and how to lose fat in a way that doesn't sacrifice your self-worth.  

What if you could break free from shame and insecurity and discover a healthier way to see yourself? In this episode, I sit down with Rachael Gilbert, a licensed therapist, author, and host of the Real Talk with Rachel podcast, to discuss her book, Image RESTored. Rachael shares her own journey with body image, how her training to become a counselor revealed a gap in resources for women struggling with body image, and how she hopes to fill the gap with biblical wisdom and practical strategies. This is such an important and real life episode, especially for women who silently body shame themselves over weight, wrinkles, or something else. Together, we’ll uncover how to quiet negative self-talk, embrace biblical truth, and build confidence rooted in Christ. You’ll walk away with hope, healing, and a fresh perspective.

Send us a textWhat drives your everyday choices? For many of us, particularly when it comes to food and our bodies, the answer involves some combination of guilt, shame, comparison, and a desperate desire to measure up. We've spent years caught in cycles of dieting, comparison, and feeling like our bodies—and our choices—were never enough. Guilt and shame often drove what we ate or how we cared for ourselves, and deep down, we carried the heavy belief that God was disappointed in us. In this episode, we share how our perspective shifted when we began to see God's true character: loving, kind, and full of delight in us. When we stopped trying to perform and instead leaned into His grace, our choices around food and self-care became acts of worship rather than burdens.Together, we talk honestly about how moving from duty to delight changes everything—not just how we eat, but how we live. Instead of chasing perfection, we've learned to embrace practices like gratitude and praise that reframe even ordinary moments. This way of living brings freedom, joy, and a new sense of purpose. We hope you'll join us in discovering how your body, your eating, and your daily choices can reflect God's goodness—not because of what you accomplish, but because of who you belong to.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Y'all, today's episode was SO powerful and near to my heart! I got to sit down with one of my dear friends, Nicoletta Bradley—yes, the Nicoletta from Call Her Holy—and WOW, we went deep. We talked all things body image, identity, eating disorders, and singleness, and how Jesus truly redeems it all. Nicoletta opened up about her journey through a 20-year battle with eating disorders, a broken engagement, and how the Lord birthed Noble Fitness Ministries from her healing. We also dove into the gift of singleness, the dangers of cultural lies, and the power of knowing who you are in Christ. We even touched on spiritual gifts like prophecy and tongues and how God is still moving today! I'm seriously so proud of Nicoletta and know this will encourage so many of you.

From unrealistic expectations around “bouncing back” to the pressure of breastfeeding and navigating body image shifts, they unpack the layered challenges new moms face. You'll learn why the “eat less, move more” approach doesn't work postpartum, how to support your body with fiber, protein, and adequate calories, and why mental health and self-compassion are non-negotiable. Whether you're in the thick of postpartum or supporting someone who is—this episode offers practical tools, powerful mindset shifts, and a much-needed reality check on what it really means to heal, nourish, and thrive after birth.

Cheryl is an award-winning psychologist, couples therapist, and sex expert (and, honestly, one of my fave people ever), and she is laying it all out here: what's normal, what's not, and what we can actually do about it.We talk about everything from Snoopy toothbrushes (yep, you read that right) to hormone therapy, from body image stuff to the very real logistics of midlife sex when your back/knees/neck are like, “nah, girl.” Cheryl brings her signature honesty and humor to a topic that way too many of us have been suffering in silence about.And listen, you are not alone, you are not weird, and you don't have to give up on a vibrant sex life just because your hormones are throwing tantrums. This episode is a mix of straight talk, science, and some much-needed laughs.What's Inside:Why libido often drops during perimenopause and menopause and what's actually normalCheryl's personal story of going from “super frisky” to “WTF happened to my orgasms” in six monthsThe role of hormones, body image, stress, and relationships in your desire (spoiler: it's never just one thing)Practical steps to figure out if what you're dealing with is physiological, psychological, or relational and what to do nextSo let me ask you. What does a healthy sex life look like for you right now? Is it about getting back to the level of desire you had before or redefining intimacy in a way that feels good today?

Ever feel like nothing in your closet feels good, no matter how many outfits you try on? Or maybe you've found yourself spiraling about what people will think when they see you at a reunion, a wedding, or even just in the office. In this episode of Understanding Disordered Eating, I'm joined by my good friend and colleague, Sydney Green, MS, RD, to unpack the truth about body image: what it really means, how it shows up in daily life, and why it's so intertwined with our relationship to food.  Tweetable Quotes “If you're on outfit seven, nothing's feeling good… can we just go with comfort? Can we just go with, okay?” - Rachelle Heinemann “Body image is the last to go… which again, I don't even know what that means, although it's true, but it doesn't really mean much without unpacking it.” - Rachelle Heinemann “The successful woman is looking super chic, and she's really thin, and if I don't look like that, then I'm not successful. I'm not driven. I'm not motivated.” - Sydney Greene “A huge salad… our stomach is not meant to digest that. We're not rabbits. It just sits there. We get bloated. It doesn't feel good.” - Sydney Greene “Body image is not a symptom. It's like how we feel about ourselves… there's so much more richness to how we feel about our body.” - Sydney Greene “There's an actual word for some of this in research, it's called fat talk… women get together and talk about, pick apart their body, kind of like that Mean Girls scene.” - Sydney Greene “When somebody is struggling with body image, maybe the point is not to immediately erase it. Maybe we have to see it and acknowledge it and say, you're not alone.” - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Connect with Sydney here: https://www.sydneygreenehealth.com/ Find her on Instagram!: @greenehealth Bergen Mental Health Group Inc. is hiring!

In this week's Thin Thinking episode, I sit down with Hillary—a Shift Process graduate and personal chef—whose story around weight, food, and self-image is both unique and deeply relatable. Growing up in New York with a father who was a fashion photographer in the 1970s, Hillary was surrounded by the glossy, airbrushed world of ultra-thin models. Even though her own weight fluctuations were only 12–15 pounds, the emotional toll of yo-yo dieting left her feeling frustrated, doubtful, and never quite “enough.” But today, nine months into successful weight maintenance, Hillary has found peace—not just with her body, but with herself.  Whether your struggle has been 10 pounds or 100, Hillary's journey offers powerful insight into the deeper emotional work that makes lasting change possible.   Come on in!   FREE MASTERCLASS!

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I open up about the real and sometimes painful work of loving ourselves fully—both the light and the shadow. We live in a world that says “be authentic,” while at the same time pushing perfection through filters, quick fixes, and unrealistic expectations. It's no wonder we feel torn between who we really are and who we think we're supposed to be.Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we explore what happens when we stop criticizing ourselves with words we'd never say to a friend, and instead begin practicing self-compassion in real life. Together, we'll look at the deeper patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in not-enoughness, and how those wounds can finally be revealed and healed.Your soul already knows the truth—you are whole, holy, and perfectly enough as you are. When we choose love over fear and release the need to live up to others' expectations, we remember our sovereignty and step into our unlimited nature.Join me in this conversation about authenticity, aging, self-compassion, and the courage to honor yourself for exactly who you are. You are remembering your wholeness, and in that remembering, you are free.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

Navigating Food, Body Image, and GLP-1 Medications: An Interview with Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C Therapists are seeing more clients struggling with confusing medical advice, new medications, and diet culture messages that impact their relationship with food and body. In this conversation, Curt and Katie talk with Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C about how therapists can examine their own biases, support clients navigating restrictive medical guidance, and encourage healthier, more intuitive approaches to eating. About Our Guest: Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C Robyn began her career at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles as the in-patient dietitian in the Department of Cardiology. Over the last twenty-eight years she has developed her own private practice in Los Angeles, CA. She is a contributing author and is a nationally and internationally known registered dietitian nutritionist. She has been quoted in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and Vogue. She has been on national television as the eating disorder expert on The Insider. Robyn is the author of The Eating Disorder Trap: A Guide for Clinicians and Loved Ones, Co-author of the online course Your Recovery Resource, and the host of The Eating Disorder Trap Podcast. Key Takeaways for Therapists Therapists must examine their own food and body biases to avoid unintentional harm to clients. Many physicians have minimal training in dietetics and may give inadequate advice. Clients can advocate for themselves in medical settings, including refusing to be weighed. GLP-1 medications may reduce appetite but can cause malnutrition, fatigue, and bone/muscle loss. Intuitive eating offers a path back to a healthier, more trusting relationship with food.

Licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Courtney Crisp (@drcourtneycrisp) joins Dr. Marianne to talk about eating disorders during pregnancy and postpartum. We discuss how body changes, medical weight stigma, breastfeeding pressure, and sensory sensitivities can trigger old patterns or spark new struggles. Dr. Courtney shares insights from her work with athletes and perinatal clients, along with lived experience of pregnancy nausea, food aversions, and postpartum adjustment. We also explore how neurodiversity, ADHD, and autistic sensory needs shape care, and why weight-inclusive, consent-based support matters for parents. What You'll Learn How pregnancy, medical monitoring, and rapid body changes can activate perfectionism, control seeking, and body dissatisfaction The effects of weight stigma in prenatal and postpartum care, and what weight-inclusive providers do differently Why severe nausea and food aversions can persist after birth, and how to support flexible, adequate nourishment Breastfeeding, pumping, and formula choices through a nonjudgmental, mental health first lens Sensory overload in pregnancy and the fourth trimester, including smell sensitivity and tactile overwhelm Athletes, performance culture, and disordered eating patterns that can resurface in the perinatal period How to protect recovery when social media pushes “bounce back” messages Building a trusted, affirming care team that honors intersectionality and neurodiversity Key Takeaways Your body will change during pregnancy and after birth, and that reality deserves compassion, not comparison. Weight-inclusive prenatal and postpartum care improves outcomes by removing shame and centering consent. Feeding decisions work best when they support the caregiver's mental health and the baby's needs, not a rigid ideal. Sensory supports reduce distress. Use smell blockers, quieter environments, comfortable fabrics, and predictable routines. Curate your feeds. Unfollow “get your body back” influencers and follow licensed, values-aligned clinicians. Recovery helps you show up for your baby and for yourself. Nourishment and rest are part of caring for your family.

So you've tried to diet your way to control, but instead, you end up feeling more out of control than ever. Why is that? It's not just about willpower or “falling off track.” Dieting actually dysregulates your entire system — your hunger cues, your emotions, your hormones, even your nervous system. The very rules you're following are what cause you to swing back and forth on the pendulum: restrict, rebel, repeat. In episode 257 of Fitness & Sushi, we'll show you why dieting keeps you stuck in chaos, and how to finally break free by learning to stay regulated instead. In this episode — “How Dieting Dysregulates Your Body and Mind (And What to Do Instead)” — you'll learn…

In this episode of Life After Diets, host Stefanie Michele explores the strange tension of being “full but not finished.”Many people know the feeling: the body signals fullness, yet something inside still wants more. What does that reveal about the way we relate to food, our emotions, and ourselves? Rather than reducing the issue to hunger and fullness cues alone, this conversation looks at the cultural “shoulds” that hover over eating, the rebellion that comes from restriction, and the nervous system's role in making food feel safe or unsafe. Stefanie unpacks why stopping at the first sign of fullness often backfires, and why the experience of eating can be as much about psychology and emotional regulation as it is about physiology. The episode also weaves in a listener story about body image distress in an unexpected setting, highlighting how struggles with food are rarely isolated—they echo into how we manage overwhelm, shame, and self-perception in everyday life. The episode asks bigger questions about what we're really hungry for, how permission changes the eating experience, and what it takes to feel truly satisfied—not just physically, but emotionally too. binge eating recovery, intuitive eating, somatic practices, body image healing, nervous system regulation, food freedom, eating disorder recovery, fullness vs satisfaction, self-trust with food, emotional eating, diet culture recovery, Life After Diets Connect with Stefanie: Website: www.iamstefaniemichele.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/iamstefaniemichele Substack: www.substack.com/@iamstefaniemichele Email: stefanie@iamstefaniemichele.com

I've talked about this before but today I have BariAftercare's very own Shea Quinn joining me to discuss a common topic … a topic that is often misrepresented in the bariatric community… related to body image! Word on the street is that a lot of people who lose a significant amout of weight refer to themselves as have Body Dysmorphia. That is likely not the case as you'll learn as you listen to the critical information people need to understand about what body dysmorphic disorder is and what it is NOT as explained in this episode. The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction.Resources:BariAfterare: www.bariaftercare.comConnie Stapleton PhD website: www.conniestapletonphd.comBariAftercare website: https://www.conniestapletonphd.com/bariaftercareBariAftercare Facebook page (for members only): https://www.facebook.com/groups/BariAftercareKevin Stephens: Your Bariatric Buddy   https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourbariatricbuddy/peopleInstagram: @ (Caleshia Haynes)Instagram: @therealbariboss (Tabitha Johnson)Instagram @drsusanmitchell (Dr. Susan Mitchell)Instagram: @lauraleepreston (Laura Preston)ProCare Vitamins (10% off with code ConnieStapleton)Rob DiMedio: https://www.busybariatrics.com/Dr. Joan Brugman: drjbrugman@outlook.comDr. Susan Mitchell:https://www.facebook.com/DrSusanMitchellhttps://www.facebook.com/bariatricsurgerystrategies

In this “Compared to Who?” episode, Heather Creekmore talks about how growing in spiritual maturity can help you break free from comparison and body image struggles. She gently challenges listeners to re-examine the belief that life will be easy if you just do everything right—a mindset she calls “magical thinking.” Instead, Heather explains how holding onto this idea can prevent us from fully trusting God and experiencing real growth. She shares her personal experiences with disappointment, especially around marriage and body image, and how letting go of perfectionism and unrealistic expectations made space for deeper faith and emotional stability. Ultimately, the message is about moving away from idols and quick fixes, and toward a more honest, grace-filled relationship with Jesus—even if it means accepting that life will have its hardships. There’s a lot more nuance and encouragement in the episode, so it’s definitely worth a listen!

In this episode of ‘All Things Endurance Podcast,' host, Rick Prince chats with journalist and writer, ZoëRom and registered dietitian, Kylee Van Horn. Zoë and Kylee are co-hosts of the podcast, ‘Your Diet Sucks.' This is the third and final podcast in a three-part podcast series with Zoë and Kylee. Previous episodes in this series include Episode 33: Why Athletes Fall for Pseudoscience and Fad Diets and Episode 38: The Truth About Racing Weight Below are the areas that Rick, Zoëand Kylee chat about during this episode: 1.       When it comes to endurance sports, often there is an emphasis on body weight from a performance standpoint. However, what is not discussed as often in endurance sports is body weight/image from an aesthetic point of view. Could you discuss how these two areas – performance and aesthetics interrelate?2.       While speculative, do you think that a fair amount of people get into endurance athletics for the primary purpose of losing weight and to improve their body image?3.       Could you explain what traditional body positivity is, and how it often misses the mark?4.       For our listeners that don't know what body dysmorphia is, could you define it and how it shows up in endurance sports?5.       As we discussed in the previous podcast, there is often an obsession in endurance sports to reduce body weight, which often results in disordered eating. As such, do you think that some individuals get into endurance sports because as a whole, these sports normalize being underweight – often to a drastic amount?6.      If a coach suspects that one of their athletes may have body dysmorphia and/or disordered eating, what should their action plan be?7.      In your opinion, what are some steps that those in the endurance sports industry could take to reduce the overemphasis on low body weight and by association, disordered eating and body dissatisfaction?

In this episode, Stefanie revisits the early days of her “all-in” recovery from binge eating and restriction. She shares raw excerpts from personal emails she wrote at the time, capturing the fear, doubt, and body image struggles of letting go of food rules on her 40th birthday. Stefanie reflects on why this attempt at recovery succeeded when so many earlier ones hadn't, and what it really means to be ready for change. She also answers a listener question about the most sensible advice clients resist, explaining why nervous system safety and readiness matter more than logic when it comes to eating regularly or buying clothes that fit. If you've ever wondered what “all-in” looks like from the inside—or why advice can sound simple but feel impossible—this episode will meet you there.

I'm leaving for my yearly Disney trip for the T1D conference, and y'all — nothing will humble you more than a three-way dressing-room mirror.

In this episode, I tell the whole embarrassing story, exactly how I knocked myself out of that spiral, and why you absolutely cannot put your life on hold until the scale says so.

Heather speaks into the aftermath of last week’s tragic events to address how these unsettling times can actually serve as a wake-up call for Christian women struggling with body image and comparison. Instead of focusing on the headlines, Heather invites listeners to examine what we’re really battling daily. She explores the big idea that our struggle isn’t with the scale, the mirror, or even other women—it’s a spiritual battle, not “against flesh and blood,” as Ephesians 6:12 says. Heather shares a relatable story about getting a speeding ticket (and her less-than-humble reaction!) as an illustration of the subtle ways pride and self-focus sneak in, keeping us distracted from what God is calling us to. Here are some references & main themes: The assassination of Charlie Kirk: Not the main focus of the episode, but this tragic event is used as context for discussing spiritual wake-up calls and living boldly for Jesus. Us vs. them mentality: How cultural polarization and volatility can lead to numbness or withdrawal, even from our spiritual callings. Spiritual battle vs. physical struggle: Using Ephesians 6:12, Heather emphasizes we need to recognize the spiritual nature of our struggles—especially with body image, insecurity, and comparison. Armor of God (Ephesians 6): Are you more worried about what you wear or making sure you have the armor of God on? The lie of “my truth” vs. God’s truth: Heather draws from the cultural trend of embracing “my truth” and contrasts it with God’s truth, especially in how we view ourselves and our worth. Pride and self-righteousness: Illustrated through her personal speeding ticket story, reminding us how quickly we default to excusing ourselves and judging others. Encouragement for action: Rather than “doing more” or “trying harder,” Heather invites listeners to actually follow Jesus, not just fit Him into their goals and plans. Overcoming shame and guilt: She warns listeners not to get caught in the enemy’s trap of shame for not being "further along" in their spiritual walk, and instead to run toward Jesus, the light, and real security. Programs and Resources Mentioned: 40-Day Journey: Starts October 1st, with groups beginning October 7th. Details at improvebodyimage.com or directly at: https://www.improvebodyimage.com/40-day-challenge Body Image Freedom Framework: Heather’s online course for deeper freedom in the areas discussed in the episode. Coaching and community offerings: Here are links to programs designed to equip women for the real battle. Questions to Reflect On: Which “battle” am I spending most of my time and energy on each day? How does believing my own truth about my body or worth keep me from living in God’s truth? Am I taking Jesus along for my ride, or am I letting Him lead? Final encouragement: Heather calls listeners to reject shame, fight the real battle, and let their light shine for Christ. She challenges us to think about how we will be remembered—not as women obsessed with their image, but as those unafraid to shine the light of Jesus.
