This is because your body produces fewer enzymes — which are the proteins responsible for digesting food. Fewer enzymes means more difficulty digesting food. This is especially true if you cook your food because cooking kills enzymes.This is where supplementing with a high-quality enzyme supplement can be a huge help. I personally recommend Masszymes by BiOptimizers. It's a best-in-class supplement loaded with full-spectrum enzymes for digesting proteins, starches, sugars, fibers, and fats.If you want freedom from your food, especially during the Holiday season, try Masszymes risk-free at masszymes.com/wellfed and use coupon code WELLFED to receive a 10% discount off your order.

Dana is a Nutritionist and Body Image Coach who teaches women how to heal their relationship to food and to their bodies. She's also one of the very few people I actually trust in the wellness/functional medicine community. We speak about our personal health journeys, how we met in the food blogger world, and where we are now. We talk about the shadow sides of "wellness" culture as a whole, but specifically related to the paleo/ancestral/whole food world, & elaborate on how "functional," whole food diets are still diets. We also talk about the correlations between stress & health, how food and wellness influencers are rarely healthy and how the unhealthy relationship we have to food and to our bodies may very well be an extension of our unhealthy relationship to control.

This episode is brought to you by New Chapter. As a women’s health dietitian and educator, I have been on the search for my official recommendation for a prenatal vitamin for quite some time, and I am thrilled to say I finally found the one, and actually a prenatal AND postnatal vitamin- that checks all my boxes. What’s so cool about New Chapter’s perfect prenatal vitamin is that it is fermented for better absorption with beneficial probiotics and whole foods, which also makes it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach- which if you’ve ever taken a prenatal vitamin you know that’s not always the case. Plus their new improved formula contains ginger to help combat morning sickness. It contains all the key nutrients your body needs for a growing baby, including methylfolate- which is the active form of folate I personally always recommend to my clients when they are looking for a prenatal. And they also have a Perfect postnatal vitamin, which is what I am personally taking now. Its formulated specifically for new moms and our needs, to help us replenish nutrient stores from having a baby meaning its going to contain key nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, fermented iron as well as fermented B vitamins to support energy needs. What I think is so helpful is that it also contains herbs and plants that have been used traditionally for lactation like oats, kelp, chamomile and turmeric. As with all New Chapter supplements and products, these prenatal and postnatal vitamins are nonGMO certified, made with organic whole foods and herbs and responsibly sourced. I mean I could it get any better, I don’t think so! You can purchase New Chapter prenatal and postnatal vitamins on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores.

In today’s episode, Victoria and Katherine sit down with Dana Monsees of Real Food with Dana and Real Talk with Dana Podcast. In Part I, Dana shares her own story of being a Whole30 coach and getting caught in the chronic cycle of using Whole30 and elimination protocols because of fear of true recovery from ED. She eventually leaves Whole30 because of the unhealthy patterns she saw many participants getting stuck in. This led her to the work she does now of working in clinical nutrition from a non-diet, non-restrictive, health at every size, weight inclusive approach. In this episode, Dana also talks about the pros and cons of the Whole30 and other elimination protocols and how they don’t lead to food freedom, how intuitive eating is compatible with healing protocols, and why weight is not a determinant of health. Dana Monsees is a Nutritionist and Body Image Coach teaching women how to heal their relationship with food and their bodies and break the diet cycle for good. She is the creator of the healthy living blog Real Food with Dana, and the host of the popular Real Talk with Dana podcast, where she and her guests discuss all things nutrition, health, fitness, and mindset – with a healthy side of sarcasm. When she’s not doing her nutrition thing, Dana spends her time hiking, traveling, coaching swimming, competing in olympic weightlifting, and sliding as many Harry Potter quotes into everyday conversation as possible.

In this episode I chat with Dana Monsees, Clinical Nutritionist and Body Image Coach and author of the Real Food with Dana blog. Her and I have VERY similar stories and paths in terms of our health. Dana opens up about her body image struggles, binge eating, celiac diagnosis and becoming addicted to fitness. This led her to deal with severe gut issues, adrenal fatigue and losing her period. Dana now has a well balanced approach to food and fitness, and a super successful online business where she supports other women in getting out of the diet culture, and learning to love and listen to their bodies.
Our society has a keen knack for creating stigmas that make us feel less than. Diet culture and this restrictive mentality around food are slowly killing our bodies natural rhythm, and that is what Dana Monsees is dedicated to helping correct. Entrepreneur, nutritionist, and founder of Real Food with Dana, Dana is passionate about helping people realize that smaller is not necessarily better. How To Break-up With Diets & Regain Your Power This episode is all about healing your relationship with food, finding a nutritional path that works for you, and dismissing what society thinks of your size and being content with who you are. Dana is here to create a space to think about how you approach food, explain why restriction diets are not always better, and share ways that you can motivate yourself to make the changes you want to make. Dana believes that by understanding diet culture and what it subconsciously forces us to do, we can break free of these limitations and find our bliss. When you are able to find the middle ground between crash diets and falling off the wagon, you can find a place of true body acceptance. Dana encourages you to ditch the diet cycle, break down your fearful or anxious relationship with food and exercise, and start removing those triggers to trust your body. By focusing on an abundance mindset you can stop relying on controlling your diet and exercise to give your life sanity, and instead enjoy the freeness of the human experience. Dana has a wealth of nutrition knowledge and strong opinions to help you make sustainable lifestyle changes and improve how you interact with food and your body. It is time to break free of the diets and beliefs that have kept you hating your body and start embracing the beauty you hold inside. How do you relate to Dana’s story of disordered eating and regaining your strength? Share with us in the comments section on the episode page. On Today's Episode Thinking critically about the things we do as a society and how it impacts our body image How to identify a shame spiral and get out of it without destroying yourself Identifying where your nutrition overload is coming from how to remove those influences Practical ways to pull back on the way you restrict yourself in all walks of life What it is like to navigate the Olympic weight lifting space without becoming body obsessed Quotes “Food and sustainable lifestyle changes can make a big difference in peoples health without doing any therapy type nutrition or medical intervention.” (11:24) “A lot of the clinical manifestations that I see in my practice are because people are overstressed, overworked, under eating and over exercising because they don't feel worthy enough in their bodies to take up space.” (15:37) “Just being in a larger body doesn't predispose you to have all these health conditions. It is the lifestyle choices that you make that are actually causing the health conditions.” (31:25) “List the millions of diets out there that have all worked for someone, and that still doesn't necessarily mean it is going to work for you.” (45:24) “It is because I have finally come to a place where I care about nourishing my body instead of trying to make myself take up less space.” (1:04:37) Resources Mentioned In This Show Break the Diet Cycle Course - Sign-up With Your Email For Future Launches Real Food with Dana Website Real Talk with Dana Podcast Follow Real Food with Dana on Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest Contact Dana at realfoodwithdana@gmail.com Women’s Ideal Body Types Throughout Time - BuzzFeed Pre-Order The Core 4 by Steph Gaudreau Check out the full show notes here!

In this episode, we interview Dana Monsees, CNS, MS from @RealfoodwithDana. Dana used to be a Whole 30 Coach who recently made a massive pivot and shift in her business after realizing that Whole 30 was not delivering "Food Freedom" to most of her clients. Rather it was doing the opposite, it was either making their relationship with food worse, or had contributed to the beginning of a struggle with binge eating. She had gone through her own struggles with an eating disorder and knew in her heart she had to make the switch in her business. We also talk about: Clinical Nutrition and the argument for the nutritional middle ground Real food for healing Fatphobia And so much more! I think you are going to love it.
