Expressing ourselves is a way to live our truth in our bodies, minds and souls. Many times we've been taught that to express our feelings, to put up boundaries, to be honest, and to just allow ourselves to be ourselves it might be upsetting to others. The real truth is, if we let ourselves show our “whole self”, it is beneficial for everyone."Expressing Yourself” read by Carol Normandi, page 158.“It's Not About Food” by Carol Normandi and Laurelee Roark.Carol Normandi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice since 1992.

If you know the word divine means holy or sacred, then you have a clue to the meaning of divinity, which can be a god or other religious being. Anything very holy is full of divinity. Divinity is also the subject of religion itself: divinity students are studying theology. But if you're not into religion, don't worry — you can still enjoy divinity, a type of white, creamy fudge made with egg whites that probably goes well with angel food cake.The definition above was something I could totally get behind. I  found it by googling divinity on the website, “vocabulary.com.” Loved it. Especially because there are other god-like-angelic things that are divine could also taste good…like…Yummmmmy white creamy fudge and Angel food cake. Yes please. When I was able to recover from my addictions, my disorders and my need to control everything frigging thing in my life, but also let go of the idea that being divine was something outside myself, I was able to truly step into who I really was.  What I learned was all parts of me and every thing else in the universe was already divine. We all are body, mind and spirit. We may forget that fact but there it is. No matter who, what or where we are on our journey we are the essence of love, acceptance, peace and joy. Of course we can choose to deny our divinity and go towards a much darker place but we will never really be happy or successful because it's not our true self. As I've been writing about some of the profound things my brother and I talked about as he lay dying was the idea of grace and being pure love as a much easier way to live our lives. One night as I sat with him we talked about how hard our childhood had been. We'd been abused, abandoned, and hurt by the grown ups in our lives. And the pain of it was, for no other reason, than it was probably the way they had been treated by their caretakers. So it was generational, and we eventually we had the power to stop that cycle of suffering ourselves as did they, even though they did not. So the discussion was why? My brother said with tears rolling down his cheeks,” It was so easy to do the right thing. Much much easier than the hard thing which is the wrong thing.”Now I have to say he said this as he was dying of Alzheimer's, as he had not eaten in days and as he was so very sick. If this is not the definition of being in the divine, of experiencing divinity, of being in the state of grace, I don't have any idea what would be. My takeaway is we all have a choice. To realize all parts of us are divine because we are pure divinity just by existing. Or, of course, we can step aside our true nature and force ourselves to not be divine. But where's the fun in that? No where. That's where. Here is a wonderful article and obituary about my wonderful brother Keith St Clare from Cynthia Laird of the Bay Area Reporter Newspaper. So grateful to the LBGT community for their support and dedication to the truth. Kelsy Keenan, NDTRDirector of Outreach, Nutrition CounselorWilla Wellness CenterDirect: 707-755-1174Office: 707-780-5323Fax: 707-780-5322 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Este es un debate fundamental en el ámbito de la nutrición, la medicina y la salud pública. Vamos por partes:1. ¿Obesidad o Enfermedad Crónica Basada en la Adiposidad (ABCD)? La AACE propone el término ABCD (Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease) para enfatizar que la obesidad es más que una acumulación de grasa: se trata de una condición crónica con múltiples factores subyacentes, incluyendo genética, metabolismo, entorno y comportamiento. Este cambio terminológico busca evitar la reducción de la obesidad a una simple cuestión de peso y destacar su impacto en la salud. 2. ¿Es la obesidad una enfermedad o un factor de riesgo? La evidencia más sólida que apoya la obesidad como enfermedad incluye:Su carácter crónico y multifactorial, con componentes metabólicos, genéticos y hormonales.Su asociación con inflamación crónica y resistencia a la insulina, que pueden generar otras patologías como diabetes tipo 2, enfermedades cardiovasculares y algunos tipos de cáncer.Su inclusión en 2013 por la American Medical Association (AMA) como enfermedad para mejorar su abordaje médico y evitar la simplificación de "come menos y muévete más".Por otro lado, hay quienes la consideran un factor de riesgo más que una enfermedad per se, argumentando que:No todas las personas con obesidad tienen complicaciones metabólicas (el concepto de "metabólicamente saludable").La obesidad no siempre causa enfermedad directamente, sino que es un factor predisponente.La clasificación como enfermedad puede medicalizar en exceso y reforzar la dependencia de tratamientos farmacológicos o quirúrgicos.3. Impacto de la clasificación de la obesidadPacientes: Considerarla una enfermedad puede reducir la culpa y el estigma, promoviendo un enfoque más médico y menos moralista. Sin embargo, puede también reforzar la idea de que la única solución es médica o farmacológica.Políticas públicas: Puede favorecer la financiación de tratamientos, programas de prevención y acceso a profesionales de salud.Investigación: Mayor inversión en estudios sobre su fisiopatología, tratamientos y prevención.Percepción pública: Puede reducir el estigma de la obesidad como un "fallo personal", pero también puede reforzar la dependencia de tratamientos médicos en lugar de abordar causas estructurales (alimentación, sedentarismo, desigualdades sociales).4. ¿Comparte el enfoque tradicional factores de riesgo con los TCA? Sí. La visión pesocentrista y la cultura de la dieta pueden fomentar conductas alimentarias desordenadas y contribuir al desarrollo de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA).Se ha observado que adolescentes con sobrepeso u obesidad tienen mayor riesgo de desarrollar TCA debido a la presión social y médica por perder peso.Reforzar la idea de que la obesidad es una "enfermedad a erradicar" puede llevar a restricciones extremas y a ciclos de pérdida y ganancia de peso (efecto rebote).Enfoques no pesocentristas, como el HAES (Health At Every Size), buscan evitar este problema.5. Cirugía bariátrica y fármacos: ¿solución o parche?Cirugía bariátrica: Puede ser eficaz en algunos casos, pero no está exenta de riesgos ni complicaciones metabólicas y psicológicas. Además, sin un cambio en el entorno y el comportamiento alimentario, puede no ser sostenible a largo plazo.Fármacos (Orlistat, Ozempic, etc.): Su auge responde a la necesidad de nuevas estrategias de tratamiento. Sin embargo, pueden generar dependencia, efectos secundarios y refuerzan la medicalización de la obesidad sin atacar sus causas estructurales.6. ¿Existe el estigma de peso? Sí, y está ampliamente documentado. Se manifiesta en:Discriminación en el ámbito laboral y sanitario (menos oportunidades laborales, peor trato en consultas médicas).Internalización del estigma, lo que puede llevar a peor salud mental y mayor riesgo de TCA.Mayor probabilidad de recibir recomendaciones de pérdida de peso sin evaluar otros aspectos de salud.7. Impacto de movimientos como Body Positive, HAES, Body NeutralitySocial: Visibilizan la diversidad corporal y desafían los estándares de belleza normativos.Político: Impulsan cambios en normativas contra la discriminación por peso.Sanitario: Desafían el enfoque pesocentrista, promoviendo la salud independientemente del peso.Sin embargo, algunos críticos argumentan que pueden trivializar los riesgos de la obesidad y desincentivar el tratamiento en casos donde hay problemas metabólicos reales. Conclusión La obesidad es un fenómeno complejo que no puede reducirse a peso corporal ni a una única categoría (enfermedad vs. factor de riesgo). Su abordaje debe ser integral, basado en evidencia, no estigmatizante y centrado en la salud más allá del peso.4oConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/comiendo-con-maria-nutricion--2497272/support.

Head on over to our YouTube channel to listen to todays epsiode!

Inhabit means to live in our bodies, not in our heads. When we learn to be present in our bodies, to move out of the obsessive thinking and into our feelings, we can learn to identify and meet our physical, emotional and spiritual needs. First, we must be aware that we are in the obsession, in the thinking, in the head. Then we cause our breath to being our awareness into our body and explore what we are experiencing in our bodies. The podcast today is me interviewing me about living in the bodies we have, taking care of the bodies we have and loving the bodies we have. I get asked all the time by those who are recovering from disordered eating and body dysmorphia, "how the hell am I supposed to do that?"I agree it seems impossible because so many of us have been told never to accept the weight we have, or the body we have, or the image we have, if it's not perfect. So we didn't and it has caused untold damage.  But we can change. We can accept our weight, no matter what it is right now, as a starting point. And then we can work to be satisfied with our natural weight. Which brings up the other question I also get asked all the time. “What is my normal weight? And when will I get there and how will I know that's it?”The answer is…When we consistently eat when we are hungry, consistently eat what our bodies want to eat and we consistently stop when full…we will go to a weight ourbodies want to be at. When we exercise in a way our bodies want to exercise, get enough sleep, cut down on stress, follow our path and love ourselves body, mind and spirit, no matter what, we will be at our normal size. And of course we have to consider it all at this age, with this DNA, with this life style and with this life…for the rest of our lives. Subject to change cause if we don't die, we'll get older.

Its goal is to revolutionize and empower an entire community of women through body positivity, connection, and authentic expression of self. We invite you to come and meet Keri Looijen.

Trust is knowing that our bodies are living intelligences, giving us immediate feedback about what does and doesn't work for us. When we stop viewing our bodies as something we need to manipulate, we can begin seeing them as very wise teachers. When we start to trust our bodies, we can listen and understand what they need. Jenny Sederholm, LCSW While I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 14 years, life quieted and expanded for me eleven years ago when I was intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I co facilitated a DBT Yearlong program for three years at Kaiser Permanente while training clinicians in DBT skills and principles.  Through DBT, my perceptions were blown to pieces as I practiced intentional awareness, mindfulness and ever present dialectics. I also came to appreciate the functional power of life skills and understanding the purpose of our emotions.My life journey has since brought me to the Willa Wellness team. Here, I am honored to share with and grow alongside those whom are struggling with eating disorders. Through our work together, we strive to uncover the worn out stories that keep us from the freedoms that are our birthright. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In previous episodes, we've delved into the complex relationship gay men often have with body image shaped by societal expectations and stereotypes that idealize a lean, muscular physique, leading many to experience feelings of inadequacy and self-consciousness about their appearance. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, gay and bisexual boys are significantly more likely to engage in harmful behaviors such as fasting, vomiting, or using laxatives and diet pills to control their weight.In this episode, Roy Belzer, a body-positive fitness coach, joins us to share his personal journey with body image, discuss how he overcame disordered eating, and highlight the importance of inclusive fitness for the health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 32.

Father Cooper sits down with model and content creator, @remibader. Remi got her start on TikTok posting realistic clothing hauls and her platform has since expanded beyond fashion. Remi opens up and reflects on discrimination she's faced since launching her career; for the first time, she tells the story of what actually went down this summer at a Hampton's ranch where she was publicly humiliated and forced to leave due to her weight. Remi opens up about how she really feels towards the ‘influencers' who decided participating in a low rent influencer horsey ride was more important than siding with their friend. Remi discusses her decision to seek outpatient treatment for her eating disorder and her ongoing journey to self-acceptance. Over wine, Remi dishes on her best dating stories and shares how one night of sex led to thousands of dollars in water damage.
