We were all taught how to eat and move and exist in our bodies. The “shoulds” that you learn from your parents, diet/wellness/fitness culture, magazines, media, movies, family and friends can keep your nervous system stuck in a sympathetic response.When you live in chronic stress or survival states, your system prioritizes safety over sensation. That means you may default to habits that feel familiar and not ones that feel nourishing. You may be engaging in “healthy” acts and feel absolutely horrible because they are not what your body may resonate with or need.Yet, let's normalize that following rigid food or exercise rules can feel stabilizing. This is because they reduce uncertainty. Safety can then get connected to the felt sense of rigidity, where all other feedback from your body about what it needs for flow, play, and long term safety gets drowned out.Exploring what would feel best to you and your present day body can be a journey into self leadership. In this week's episode, I chat with Courtney Townley, health and self-leadership coach, speaker, host of the top-rated Grace & Grit podcast, and author about: Her 4-part Consistency Code frameworkSelf leadershipThe misconceptions of self care and wellnessThe impact of societal expectations on womenNavigating stressPractical steps toward self leadershipYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: www.stephaniemara.com/blog/revolutionize-your-health8 days left to get 30% off my Somatic Eating® Intensive!

OVERVIEW: If you're currently dieting, trying to lose weight, or using a GLP-1, this episode is for you. I'm opening up about my own journey — from years of crash dieting and overtraining in my 20s to finally repairing my metabolism and hormones so I could feel strong, healthy, and confident again. I've been there: eating as little as possible, chasing smaller numbers on the scale, and feeling terrified to stop dieting because I didn't want to regain the weight. In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned after nearly two decades of helping women heal their metabolism and achieve sustainable results. Whether you're counting macros, eating “clean,” or taking a GLP-1, you'll hear exactly why how you approach your fat loss journey matters just as much as what you're doing. Here's what we'll cover: Why your metabolic health is the foundation of everything — fat loss, energy, hormones, and long-term results. The truth about GLP-1s and why you still need to eat enough, strength train, and support your metabolism. The signs of metabolic adaptation and what to do if you've been chronically under-eating. Why simply hitting your protein goal isn't enough if your total calories are too low. How I use the Three Phases of Transformation — Repair, Rebuild, and Results — to help women feel and look their best. The connection between muscle mass and longevity, and why your goal should always be to maintain and build muscle. If you've ever felt like you're “doing everything right” but still not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why — and what you can do differently to finally make progress that lasts. Your metabolism is the foundation for everything. It determines how your body uses the food you eat — whether you're burning it efficiently or storing it. If you don't take care of it, no diet, workout plan, or medication will give you sustainable results. I want you to know there's a better way — one that doesn't involve starving yourself or living in fear of food. You deserve to feel good, look strong, and sustain your results long-term.

I've been thinking a lot about “rules” lately…  It started with my desire to put my Christmas decorations out on Nov 1st.  Because seriously - someone just made up a rule, arbitrarily, that you can't put it up before Thanksgiving.    But this happens often with weight loss, exercise, divorce, dating.  We want a set of rules to follow, hoping that if we can follow them perfectly, we'll create the results we want.  No challenges, no suffering, just quick, fast results.    But life doesn't work like that.  In fact I found the opposite to be true - it's only when we break the diet, divorce, and dating rules that we can truly create what we really want in life.    And when you're ready to lose weight, end emotional eating, and truly enjoy the holidays instead of running frazzled in survival mode…  Come work with me.  I'll teach you how to re-regulate your nervous system when you get triggered, how to meet your own emotional needs, and create a life so good you don't need an escape.  Your next best step is to schedule a free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule   Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - How To Break The Diet Rules(00:03:31) - I tried to Do It All The Right Way... and I Still(00:07:41) - These Rules Of Sex(00:08:56) - The Rules of Dieting(00:16:25) - How to Stop Diet Trauma 2.0(00:21:04) - I Broke A Lot Of Rules In My Divorce(00:26:56) - I Don't Want To Play Dating By Stupid Rules(00:33:42) - How to Heal Your Life with Zoom(00:34:26) - A Week in the Life(00:34:38) - Binge Eating and Relationship Cycle

I'm currently visiting family in Connecticut where I grew up. I was here until I went off to college and then I moved back for about a year before I moved west to go to graduate school. Connecticut has been a witness to every stage of my food recovery.

NEW! Support your strength and muscle goals with PUORI Creatine+ — a clean, effective creatine monohydrate supplement enhanced with taurine. Get 20% off at puori.com/VANESSA In this masterclass episode, Vanessa sits down with Dr. David Church, one of the most exciting young researchers in protein metabolism and a mentee of Dr. Arny Ferrando and Dr. Robert Wolfe. Together, they break down the latest science on protein timing, distribution, and supplementation — and how to apply it to achieve fat loss, preserve muscle, and enhance cognition. You'll learn: • How stable isotope tracer studies work and what they reveal about muscle protein synthesis (MPS). • The minimum protein per meal needed to trigger muscle growth and repair — and whether you can hit it with two meals a day. • The truth about intermittent fasting and muscle preservation — what happens to MPS in 2-meal and 1-meal-a-day patterns. • Why older adults and women over 40 face anabolic resistance and how EAAs (essential amino acids) can help overcome it. • What happens when you double your protein intake from 0.8 g/kg to 1.6 g/kg — and why distribution may matter less than total intake. • The surprising power of small doses of EAAs in muscle maintenance and cognitive support. • Why creatine is foundational for women, including new research showing benefits for brain health and sleep deprivation. • How to optimize body recomposition — burning fat while protecting lean mass — even during calorie restriction. • The difference between supplemental vs. replacement nutrition, and why EAAs work for older adults with low appetite. • The synergy of protein + resistance training + sleep + activity in driving sustainable fat loss. OneSkin is powered by the breakthrough peptide OS-01, the first ingredient proven to reduce skin's biological age. I use the OS-01 Face and Eye formulas daily—they've transformed my skin's smoothness, firmness, and glow. Visit oneskin.co/VANESSA and use code VANESSA for 15% off your first purchase Dr. Church also shares his own daily stack — including why he takes 20 g of creatine per day and combines it with EAAs for energy, cognition, and recovery — plus his favorite high-protein meals for busy days. If you've ever wondered how to burn fat efficiently while protecting every gram of muscle, this episode is packed with evidence-based takeaways you can implement right away. Mentioned in this Episode: • Puori Creatine + – clean, third-party-tested creatine monohydrate with taurine • Essential amino acids for older adults and women facing anabolic resistance • Stable isotope tracer studies — how we truly measure MPS • Protein targets: 1.6–2.4 g/kg depending on activity and energy restriction • Pre-sleep protein and its impact on overnight MPS and metabolic rate Get delicious high protein meal recipes!

Welcome back to Dial Emma! Each week, I'll be answering your dilemmas with honesty, empathy, and a few therapeutic truth bombs to help you make sense of life's stickiest moments. If you've ever wished you had a therapist in your back pocket, Dial Emma is here to help.Our dilemma this week comes from a listener who is navigating a lifelong struggle with weight and self-acceptance. After years of dieting without lasting success, she finally found hope through weight-loss injections - but when she had to stop due to the cost, the weight, and the shame that comes with it, returned. Now, she finds herself caught between the pressure to start the medication again and the desire to accept herself as she is.To help me respond to our lovely listener and provide some much needed scientific insight, I'm delighted to be joined by Dr. Fredrik Nyström, professor of medicine at Linköping University in Sweden and author of Lighten the Load on Your Shoulders. Fredrik has spent more than 30 years working within endocrinology and studying hormone-producing glands and organs, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.Fredrik and I explore the complexities of weight management, the societal pressures that often influence our relationship with food and appearance, and the psychological impacts of dieting. We also discuss the role of GLP-1 agonists in weight loss, the importance of self-acceptance in a world filled with conflicting messages about body image, and the power of challenging societal norms and embracing personal choices when it comes to our health and wellbeing.If you have a dilemma for Emma, please fill out this form. ---Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Social media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

But what happens when we slow down, trust the process, and remember that yoga isn't about the timeline—it's about the transformation.In this week's episode of How Yoga Changed My Life a Podcast, Adrienne, Natalie, and Nora dive into one of the most common questions we hear as trainers and teachers: “How long will it take me to feel stronger? To look different? To lose weight?” We unpack what's really behind that question—the desire for progress, validation, and change—and how yoga helps us shift from chasing timelines to trusting the process.With humor, honesty, and a few eye-rolling “people be peopling” moments from the fitness floor, we explore how patience, consistency, and self-compassion can transform not just our bodies, but our mindset too.Now it's your turn—we know you've seen some wild, funny, or inspiring things at the gym.

I've been reflecting recently on how much I talk here about the reasons food behaviors like binge eating have nothing to do with the food, but the state you're eating the food in. As I've explored here many times, there are so many somatic, trauma, and nervous system layers to your food patterns. But part of food recovery has to include explorations around food itself. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: How food can be a role model for the felt sense of safetyWhy eating is a somatic practice What to look out for when using food as a safety cue How to know when you're ready for this kind of somatic practice You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-food-choices-can-remind-your-body-how-to-feel-safeThis current Somatic Eating® Program class is already filling up! In the Somatic Eating® Program:Receive weekly live classes for 3 months3 Somatic Eating® Community Meals to practice what you're learningDiscover a somatic, trauma, nervous system, and nutritional approach to food behaviors like binge eating, chronic emotional eating, yo yo dieting, restriction, and body image concernsIncrease your understanding of your body through my Safety-Satiety Sequence to create a safe, secure, and satiated relationship with foodIf you can't attend the live classes, all calls are recorded to watch the replay and you can reach out between classes in a group space for additional support.There are 12 days left to sign up and I would love to get to connect with you for the next 3 months exploring your food patterns together. Sign up here: https://www.somaticeating.com/I hope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Today, we remember and celebrate the extraordinary life of Jilly Cooper, who has sadly passed away at the age of 88. A literary icon, Jilly captured hearts and imaginations with her wit, warmth, and unmistakable voice. Her novels, especially beloved titles like Riders and Rivals, sold over 11 million copies in the UK alone and most recently inspired the hit Disney+ adaptation that introduced her work to a whole new generation. I had the immense privilege of speaking with Jilly just last October. She was everything I'd hoped she would be - funny, sharp, generous and inspiring. Today, in tribute to her legacy and the joy she brought to so many, I'm honoured to share the conversation with you again. ___________________________________________________________________ Dame Jilly Cooper. What a legend. For the uninitiated (where have you been?) she's a journalist and author most famous for her bestselling Rutshire Chronicle series which includes Riders, Polo and Rivals - the latter of which has now made into a hugely popular TV series starring David Tennant, Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson. In the past, Dame Jilly's books have been unfairly dismissed as mere ‘bonkbusters', charting the sex lives of the upper classes. But, as I discover, there's much more to both her writing - and to her. We talk about her failures with technology, why she wishes she could throw more things away, as well as the terrifying time she lost an entire manuscript on the number 28 bus and had to rewrite it. Plus her experiences of interviewing Margaret Thatcher, her friendship with the Queen, her obsession with beautiful people and ‘macho men' - and why she'd wholeheartedly recommend adoption to others. Thank you Dame Jilly. A total sport (but we knew that). ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Remembering Dame Gili Cooper 03:43 Personal Reflections and Literary Success 07:37 Exploring Themes of Masculinity and Beauty 10:15 Family, Loss, and Resilience 11:28 Failures and Fertility Challenges 21:18 Dieting and Body Image 25:12 Interviewing Margaret Thatcher 26:46 Technical Challenges and Writing Process 30:27 Friendship and Social Media
