An anti-diet dietitian sounds like an oxymoron, but when it comes to true health, nutrition, and healing it's exactly what the world needs. Enter: Taylor Wolfram. After becoming disenchanted with standard Western ways of helping clients, Taylor Wolfram set out to create her own weight neutral, anti-diet practice that considers how body politics affect us all, human or beyond. Though we usually connect food with just fullness and hunger, Taylor explains how food impacts our focus, mood stability, brain function, motivation, and nervous system regulation. In this episode we not only discuss the impacts of restricting food, but ways to heal your relationship with it and your body. We dive into the difference of subjectively vs objectively being with your body, unpack why an unnourished brain can't do the deeper healing work, and untangle veganism vs a plant-based, health-focused diet. “If you don't currently feel connected to your body or like you can trust your body, know that you can get there.

What happens when personal recovery meets groundbreaking research? You get this episode! Dr. Aubrey Hoffer joins us to spill all the tea—on her journey through eating disorder recovery, her fascinating research on body image, and how it all comes together to help us rethink our relationships with our bodies. We're talking real talk, relatable moments, and a whole lot of “aha” insights. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or just trying to feel a little more at home in your body, this conversation is like a warm hug with a side of science.

Two returning guests join us (who happen to be my amazing friends and colleagues): therapist Edie Stark and fat activist Sharon Maxwell. We're getting into the impact of GLP-1s (like Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) on disordered eating recovery, body acceptance, and generally navigating this world in a human body amidst the constant chatter about weight loss medications.  Edie and Sharon share their wisdom and lived experience as we talk about how we can keep hopeful in the face of increasingly problematic diet culture messaging, GLP-1s, and general uncertainty in the world. We explore the differences between individual and macro change, and the need for tangible ways to resist diet culture and comparison. It gets real, and honest, and I think it is a timely episode for anyone who has felt hope waiver these past few weeks.  Tune in to hear more about: What's on their plates, literally and metaphorically Eating easy things when you're feeling uninspired or overwhelmed How Ozempic and GLP-1s are impacting weight-inclusive and anti-diet movements What to do when the weight loss conversation feels louder than ever (especially in disordered eating recovery) Hope in the context of both diet culture and the world right now The role of macro and micro efforts in overcoming systemic issues  Differences between body positivity and body liberation Social media's role in perpetuating the Ozempic craze and misinformation What it looks like to invest in the fat-liberation movement How we can overcome moments of doubt and body grief Ways to cultivate community around our values Sharon's call for more fat joy So much more!   This episode is the first of two parts, so stay tuned for next week's second act! About Edie:  Edie Stark, MSc, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker and the owner of Stark Therapy Group, a psychotherapy group practice specializing in eating disorders, trauma, and anxiety from a humanistic, fat-positive, and inclusive lens. She believes in the value of lived experience being met with clinical knowledge to create a collaborative therapeutic experience for all of the clients. Edie is passionate about Trader Joe's snacks– we talk a little bit about that–dismantling the US healthcare system, and the complete and total takedown of diet culture in no particular order.

In this episode, Ali speaks with Professor Matthew Beaumont, an English literature professor at University College London, who has just published his book, How We Walk: Frantz Fanon and the Politics of the Body about how the body reflects political and social oppression. They delve into topics such as the impact of racial oppression on physical movement, the cultural significance of walking, and how both personal and societal factors influence and restrict body expression. The conversation also touches on the influence of climate change on mental and physical health, the body's experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the intersection of dance, religion, and bodily freedom.To be an angel to the podcast, click hereTo read more about the podcast, click hereMORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comConstellation Work is a highly effective method to delve into healing transgenerational trauma, unburdening consequent generations from the influences of traumas which can be transmitted epigenetically.MORE MATTHEW BEAUMONT:Instagram: @matthewhbeaumontUCL WebsitePublisher WebsiteBOOKS:How We Walk: Frantz Fanon and the Politics of the Body (London: Verso, 2024)The Walker: On Losing and Finding Oneself in the Modern City (Verso, 2020)Lev Shestov: Philosopher of the Sleepless Night (Bloomsbury, 2020)Nightwalking: A Nocturnal History of London, Chaucer to Dickens (Verso, 2015)BIO:Matthew's research interests centre on various aspects of the metropolitan city, especially London.

Do you constantly put pressure on yourself to look a certain way, or weigh a certain weight? Are you willing to do anything just to lose weight while ignoring how your body and mind feel? What if we told you that isn't the best way to honor yourself and it isn't even the best way to reach that goal! Tune in today to understand a different perspective around your activity, self worth and the options available to you.This week Jenn is joined by CEO and Co-Founder of WeShape, Katie Bramlett. After years of having a successful company, Katie couldn't get aligned with what they were promoting, so she decided to take it in a different direction, creating WeShape. Her new business focuses on movement and self worth instead of diet culture. In this episode, she talks about what diet culture tells us about our self worth, and how someone can start finding body liberation. She discusses how to connect with your body to determine what movement is in alignment for you, and how to honor yourself along your fitness journey. Tune in to learn how to determine your individualized fitness journey. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [5:14] What is Katie's background and how did she get started with WeShape? [10:22] What are some indications that diet culture is influencing our thinking? [12:32] What does diet culture tell us about self worth? [17:10] How does Katie define self worth? [23:20] Where can someone find body liberation? [26:55] How can you untangle the movement from the desire to change your body?[28:29] How does self betrayal play into our typical diet culture approach to working out?[31:00] How does WeShape work through their four pillars?[36:08] Katie shares her final thoughts around self worth and movement. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Learning to understand what your body needs, what feels good in your body, and what is the right type of movement for you, is so important, as everyone is different and no one fitness routine is right for everyone. Get curious with yourself, start asking yourself hard questions to uncover what you want as an individual. Ask yourself if you are living for you or for someone else's version of what they think you should be?It has been ingrained in us that our value is based on our appearance, however that doesn't have to be your story. You can find your self worth in the ability to express your most authentic self, regardless of other people's opinions. Your weight does not equate your worth. QUOTES: [7:14] “When we look at the data and science around diets, around weight loss and weight gain, and yo yo dieting, we often see that they don't work, and people often gain the weight, if not more, back. I have a theory and belief it's because people are using that vehicle to validate their self worth, and that work is done outside of weight loss.” - Katie Bramlett“I have a theory that people are using that vehicle (weight loss and diets) to validate their self-worth.”  - Katie Bramlett“I'm not saying weight loss is bad. I'm saying when we lead with that, the fruits of that effort are often short-lived.” - Katie Bramlett“What we're really looking for is this self-worth piece and we think that that's connected to this body.” - Jenn Trepeck[17:12] “For me, I define self worth as the ability to express my most authentic self, regardless of other people's opinions.” - Katie Bramlett[36:07] “I just want to offer kindness to everybody because in a lot of ways this was normalized for all of us, and so getting more critical and more judgemental to yourself or participating in it or being in it is not going to help, so kindness can go far and we have choices.” - Katie BramlettRESOURCES:Jenn Trepeck's Episode on Weight Loss and Wellness For RealBecome A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCESWeShape Website and 2 Week Free TrialWeShape YouTubeFeeling Lighter Pod YouTube  WeShape InstagramFeeling Lighter Podcast Instagram   The Feeling Lighter Podcast AppleWeShape TikTokWeShape FacebookGUEST BIOKatie Bramlett is the CEO and Co-Founder of WeShape and Host of The Feeling Lighter Podcast by WeShape.

A Dr. Marianne-Land SOLO episode! I remember when I was in the clutches of my eating disorder, the possibility of body acceptance felt like it was in a galaxy far, far away. When I finally found the right eating disorder therapist in San Diego, California, I first entered her office filled with shame about my body. I felt like a failure. I felt incompetent. I had no hope. Over time, I began learning about fat acceptance, size diversity, and body liberation. At first it confused me, as all I wanted to do was lose weight. I eventually began to understand it, and it was like a new universe had opened up to me. In this episode, I'll share what I came to understand. Stay tuned for my SOLO episodes on Fridays, as well as the weekly interviews on Tuesdays. :) Listen to another SOLO episode, in which I talk about my overall eating disorder recovery journey (listen via Apple or Spotify).  Plus a SOLO episode when I talk about how I treat eating disorders (listen via Apple or Spotify).

Episode 120. I've said it before and I will say it again, I am often profoundly changed by the impact of the conversations I have on this podcast. I still remember quotes and concepts from people I interviewed a year ago, and I still sometimes re-listen to the conversations to remind myself of the lessons I learned from them. This conversation with Dalia Kinsey, RD, LD, from May 2022 was extra special though. And I'm actually having a hard time putting into words why exactly that is. I think part of it is Dalia's presence, and the generosity and vulnerability that is shared, including the process from behind the scenes of this week's. Beyond that, however, Dalia's compassion for others, myself included, who have very much missed the mark with wellness, health, and lack of diversity in related fields, made this conversation all the more meaningful. Inviting Dalia on the podcast was important to me because I truly believe that moving towards true wellness and health means we must un-learn a lot of what we have been taught. Not only about what is healthy from a weight-centric model, but so much of what we have been taught about race, sexuality, and generally how so many of our systems, educational models, and structures are set up to serve white people, not persons of marginalized backgrounds. I'll admit: I have total imposter syndrome when I talk about or write about topics related to diversity. I'm afraid I'll mess things up, like say the wrong things or offending someone (my deepest fear). But I know deep down it's a privilege to be able to choose to learn about and talk about these topics or not, and I am working on continuing to choose the (typically mild) discomfort, so I can continue to learn and grow. I hope you will listen in on this conversation and hear the incredible gift that Dalia has given to the world by sharing this book with the world. I truly believe what I said, that I think this book truly benefits anyone who wants to learn about wellness and inclusion as an individual or as a healthcare provider. I hope wherever you are in your journey of learning about diversity and where we in the US and other countries have greatly missed the mark, that you will remain open, curious, and humble and continue to be open to learning more. And remember that (as I often have to remind myself) you don't need to know it all, you just need to ask question and listen. There's so much value to be gained from learning about the amazingly diverse experiences of humans and I'm incredibly grateful that Dalia shared with us via Decolonizing Wellness, but also that I was able to have this incredible conversation as well. What To Expect in This Interview: We cover the following topics: How Dalia came to doing this work, and the courage it took for Dalia to write Decolonizing Wellness, and the incredibly vulnerable process of doing so Some examples of the many ways that health and wellness spaces miss the mark when it comes to persons of diverse and/or marginalized identities What Dalia means by “When you queer anything it becomes more inclusive” (and why I've never been more convinced of this after talking to Dalia and reading Decolonizing Wellness) What Dalia wishes more people understood about these topics And much more! Who is Dalia Kinsey, RD, LD? Dalia Kinsey is a queer Black Registered Dietitian, keynote speaker, the creator of the Body Liberation for All podcast, and author of Decolonizing Wellness: A QTBIPOC-Centered Guide to Escape the Diet Trap, Heal Your Self-Image, and Achieve Body Liberation. On a mission to spread joy, reduce suffering, and eliminate health disparities in the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC community, Dalia rejects diet culture and teaches people to use nutrition as a self-care and personal empowerment tool to counter the damage of systemic oppression. Dalia works at the intersection of holistic wellness and social justice, continually creating wellness tools and resources t...

Have you ever seen that Dove “Real Beauty” sketches campaign video – the one where the women met a stranger, and after some time talking, that stranger gave their description to an FBI forensics artist. Then the women described themselves to that same artist. AND THEN, they had the big reveal of the difference between the stranger's description and their own description. WITHOUT FAIL, the more accurate picture (and more flattering picture) was the one that came from the description of the stranger. Big forehead; small eyes; too many freckles; big nose. These women tended to focus on the things they believed were negative about themselves AND saw them as a bigger deal than they actually were. Why do we do this? AND how can we STOP doing this?In today's episode, during this month of focusing on self-worth, I've asked the amazing Leslie Jordan to come back to the pod and help us understand our body image issues and the thief of self-love that comparison can be.Welcome you to Deconstructing Gaslighting the podcast.

Health, nutrition, and food are spaces that can be fraught with harmful and perpetual misconceptions of the body, to the point where many people of the global majority may not always feel safe or heard.

In this episode, I dive into my ADHD diagnosis, and why I decided to seek help.For me it was important to seek a diagnosis to understand how my brain works and to find support for ADHD-related challenges. It wasn't about taking medication but about self-awareness and self-improvement. If you suspect you have ADHD, I highly encourage you to find a qualified professional to support you.In this episode I also dive in to some interesting statistics about females with ADHD, including the higher likelihood of having eating disorders, addictive behaviors, depression, anxiety, and self-judgment. ADHD also presents very differently in girls and women than it does with males, and we are more often diagnosed with inattentive type which is not as easily recognized.I'll be sharing the lifestyle and nutrition strategies I use for managing my symptoms, including quality sleep, hydration, exercise, connecting with nature, and the specific foods to support cognitive function and gut health.In celebration of a big milestone birthday and 10 years in practice, I'm offering specials on all my 1:1 coaching packages* and DIY programs, now thru October 31, 2023.Schedule a free 30-minute Coffee Talk and we'll figure out the best fit for your goals, time and budget.

Episode 103. Hey there, wonderful listeners! Dr. Shawn Hondorp here, and today, I am looking forward to sharing an important episode with you. In this episode, we're diving into the essential topics of inclusivity and emotional safety in the wellness space. Inclusivity and Emotional Safety: A Personal Reflection As a cis-gender white woman with various privileges, I come to understand more and more all the time the essential importance of addressing topics related to race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, weight/body size, ability, and more in the wellness space. Staying silent about these matters serves no one, and I believe that sharing my imperfect process can help foster a more inclusive environment. Creating spaces that promote emotional safety and inclusivity is crucial for long-term sustainable change and a sense of belonging. Without these elements, true well-being is very difficult to achieve, if not impossible. Why Inclusivity Matters for Wellness Professionals As wellness professionals, we play a significant role in influencing others, including our clients, communities, and families. By learning about and promoting inclusivity, we can create a more equitable and empathetic world, and by addressing emotional safety, we can ensure that everyone feels welcome and valued in the wellness space. Learning and Growing in Inclusivity In this episode, I aim to share my journey of learning and growing in this area and the steps I take to hold myself accountable. The path to inclusivity is an ongoing process that involves continuous education, self-reflection, and open dialogue. By engaging in these efforts, we can work towards a more inclusive and diverse wellness community.

Sarah is a writer, inspirational speaker, social media community leader, and the creator of size-inclusive live events and retreats. Sarah uses her voice to make personal growth accessible to plus-size women over 40. Leading with radical vulnerability, heart, and colorful humor, Sarah has helped hundreds of thousands of women learn to navigate the sticky place between self-acceptance and self-improvement.  Sarah shares about her messy journey to self-love, which she defines “any thought you think or action you take that gets you closer to your Ultimate You.” She talks about how she had to forgive herself for past behaviors and choices, let go of shame and self-judgment, and really look at her own sh*t in the eye to get brave enough to hold herself accountable to change. In her new book Soul Archeology, she shares a practical map of how to get un-stuck and stop self-abandoning so you can get closer to the real you—one small change at a time.
