My head just refuses to embrace dieting…try this 

Q and A with Matt1.⁠ ⁠I struggle with dieting. To get my head in the right frame of mind2.⁠ ⁠Why does weight just come on so quickly then take so long to come off?3.⁠ ⁠Is it more about hormones than calories in calorie out4.⁠ ⁠Should I get collagen or whey protein?

Diets teach us to view the body as a project. You can tinker with what you're eating and transform your body into something different. Then fitness culture doubles down and provides the message that you can shape your body to be whatever you want it to be, you just have to put up with messages like no pain, no gain and a complete disconnection from your body, how it feels, and what resonates with it. I know I spent years and years in this ping pong game of diets and body shaping. Then, saying F this, swinging the pendulum to the opposite side and eating everything I had deprived and barely moving my body, only to still feel horrible that I went crawling back to a diet again because I had no clue what else to do. There is a lot that gets sacrificed seeing the body as a project and this realization often only occurs after months and years when you realize you don't know who you are anymore, how to exist in your body, or what it actually needs. Yet, releasing the habitual relationship with the body as something to change and alter will also potentially change your relationships, the environments you've been interacting with, and the conversations you engage in. It isn't that easy when everyone around you is also in their own body project to say, "hey, ya know what, I'm done working on my body." In this week's episode, I chat with Savala Nolan, writer, author, public speaker, and professor at UC Berkeley about: The journey of recovering from diet cultureUnderstanding the language and psychological impact of dietingEnding the body project and facing the fears and cost of body liberationQuestioning societal normsPractical steps toward body liberationYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/breaking-free-from-diet-cultureThis was such a fantastic conversation. Savala describes exiting diet culture in a way that I've never heard someone capture what it is actually like and what a person may come to face in the process. If you have any insights from this episode, let me know!

In this episode of Understanding Disordered Eating, I'm digging into one of the most misunderstood parts of binge eating: why dieting and restriction so often lead directly to the exact thing you're trying to avoid. And no, it's not because you "lack willpower." That story has been recycled enough already. We're talking about the restriction cycle; the physical and psychological deprivation that quietly builds all day long until your body eventually says, "Absolutely not," and takes over. If you've ever felt confused about why evenings feel so chaotic around food, or why you can't seem to "just stay consistent," this episode might explain more than you expect. Quotes " I don't actually believe that you are 'bad' for eating something that is a little bit more indulgent. The labels just really increase our guilt and our regret for eating certain kinds of foods that we really have no business feeling regret." "When we engage in some sort of restriction, whether that's active dieting or just sort of like cutting things out, it creates deprivation." "This is not about willpower because ultimately the binge or the chaotic eating or the bingey eating or the just eating emotionally… is the correction. It is not the crime." "You're blaming yourself for the end of a story that started way, way earlier." "The question isn't 'Why can't I stop binging?' It's 'What is my body responding to?' And that shift is the whole thing." Frequently Asked Questions Why does dieting lead to binge eating? Dieting often creates physical and psychological deprivation. When your body feels restricted, whether from not eating enough, cutting out certain foods, or following strict food rules, it becomes more focused on food. Over time, that deprivation can trigger binge eating as the body tries to compensate.   Is binge eating caused by a lack of willpower? No. Binge eating is not simply a willpower issue. In many cases, it's a biological and psychological response to restriction, deprivation, stress, or food rules. The episode explains how binge eating can actually be the body's correction to feeling deprived.   What is the restriction cycle? The restriction cycle happens when dieting or food rules lead to deprivation, which increases food obsession and cravings. Eventually, that buildup can result in binge eating or chaotic eating, followed by guilt and more restriction, repeating the cycle.   Can you be restricting food without realizing it? Yes. Restriction does not always look like skipping meals or extreme dieting. It can include labeling foods as "good" or "bad," avoiding certain foods, waiting too long between meals, eating "clean," or creating rigid food rules.   Why do I binge eat at night? Many people experience binge eating at night because restriction, stress, hunger, and mental exhaustion build throughout the day. By evening, the body and brain are more vulnerable to overeating, especially after long periods of physical or psychological deprivation.   What causes food obsession or "food noise"? Food obsession often increases when the body feels deprived. When you are restricting food or mentally fixating on eating "perfectly," the brain becomes hyper-focused on food as a survival response.   How do I stop the binge-restrict cycle? Breaking the binge-restrict cycle starts with identifying the restriction underneath the binge eating. That may include eating more consistently, reducing food rules, challenging guilt around food, and understanding what your body is actually responding to instead of blaming yourself.

You think the answer is keeping "trigger foods" out of the house. But what if that strategy is actually making overeating worse?   In this episode, Coach Steph and I unpack a Reddit post about keeping junk food in the house to prevent binge eating and the comment section tells the real story. If you've ever felt like you can't trust yourself around cereal, chips, ice cream, or sweets, this conversation will help you understand why.   We break down how years of dieting, food rules, and restriction create food obsession, intense cravings, and the feeling of being out of control around certain foods. More importantly, we share how to start changing that relationship so food stops taking up so much mental space.   In this episode, you'll learn:   Why keeping certain foods out of the house often backfires How dieting creates food noise and obsessive thoughts The hidden link between scarcity, restriction, and binge eating Why "good" and "bad" food labels fuel overeating What an abundance mindset actually looks like in real life The simple practice we use with clients to reduce binge urges How to start building trust around food without relying on willpower   If you're tired of feeling powerless around food and ready for a practical, sustainable way forward, this episode and our FREE Curb the Urge Toolkit will help you get started today.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   Be the first to know when we're opening the doors to our signature psychology-based weight loss program, Outsmart Overeating (and get exclusive access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses), join the Interest List.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type  

If you've ever wondered why you can be a disciplined, structured person in most other areas of your life and still feel completely out of control around food the second you try to lose weight, this episode is going to explain a lot. Amanda, Christin, and Joyce get into the psychology of dieting and what is actually happening in your brain during a calorie deficit. They cover the key hormones driving hunger, cravings, and motivation, why the longer and harder you diet the worse it tends to get, and why the cycle of starting over keeps reinforcing itself. They also get into the Minnesota Starvation Experiment and why its findings are more relevant to modern diet culture than most people realize. This is not an episode about willpower. It is an episode about biology, and why understanding it changes everything about how you approach fat loss.

Emma and Cass open with a listener question that hits a little too close to home: "I just turned 30 and I hate my job, my apartment, and the city I live in. Do I blow it all up or am I just having a moment?" Emma says blow it the f up. Cass, who spent a year deeply unhappy in her marriage, her motherhood, and her life in general, says try 5% better first. From there: Cass on the motherhood imposter syndrome that hit her like a freight train (after 27 years of never feeling it), Emma on the version she's lived with her whole life, the menstrual blood research that's genuinely wild, and an unhinged agree/disagree game powered by Cass's husband's questions. In this episode: The listener question: turning 30, hating everything, and Emma vs Cass on whether to blow it up or stay put. "Wherever you go, there you are." Cass on the year she was deeply unwell and what she did instead of running, plus the 5% rule for making your life better without burning it down. "If you're a girly pop in your 30s who has let decisions make you instead of making them, maybe it's time to fucking blow it up." Emma's case for the hard pivot, geographic escapism included. Motherhood imposter syndrome that lasted two years, the postpartum therapist who said stop waiting for the cute walks to happen to you, and the day at the park when Cass realized she was a real mom talking to real moms. Emma on feeling like an imposter in every room she walks into, including the one she literally built. Emma's run-in with a guy she used to sleep with, and a description of his anatomy you will not forget. New menstrual blood research: Dr. Gemma Evans at the Hudson Institute found menstrual plasma heals wounds 40 times faster than regular blood plasma.  A review of decades of yo-yo dieting research turns out to be way less scary than we've been told, and Cass is mad about how women get shamed either way. The SPF lip gloss that Emma keeps stealing from Cass's bathroom. The toy Emma can't get enough of. Get yours HERE at Bellesa! Agree/disagree with questions from Cass's husband: texting your ex, thirst-trap likes, body counts as a red flag, fighting a goose, landing a passenger plane, men should always pay. For anyone in their late 20s or 30s who's ever wanted to quit everything by Tuesday, or felt like an imposter in a room they literally built. Learn more about your ad choices.

You are doing everything right. The workouts. The high protein. The supplements. The intermittent fasting. And you still gained 20 pounds in perimenopause. If that sounds familiar, this episode is going to change how you see the problem. In episode 301 of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I am breaking down why perimenopause weight gain is not a food problem, not a discipline problem, and not something your gynecologist is equipped to solve. I share a message from a high school classmate that captures exactly what so many women in menopause are experiencing, the research behind why the medical system has been looking at perimenopause through the wrong lens for decades, and why the missing piece is not another tactic. I also share my own story of navigating perimenopause weight gain with no real support until I found functional medicine and HRT. This is episode three of the Why Nothing Is Working series.

In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we tackle a variety of listener questions, creating an engaging "charcuterie board" of health insights.

Tune in for a deep dive into understanding your body's signals, addressing persistent symptoms, and gaining clarity on hormone balance and gut health. Whether you're looking to empower your health journey or simply get informed, this episode is packed with valuable insights.

IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, PLEASE RATE THE PODCAST!!   If intuitive eating feels like you're doing nothing but eating unhealthy and gaining weight, and you're thinking about going back to dieting and measuring your food…Don't do anything else before you listen to this.    We need to have a "real talk" conversation about what it actually takes to become an intuitive eater, and the hard and uncomfortable parts of it that lead most people to quit.    Episode Highlights -Intuitive eating stops being fun once you realize that you don't have the coping skills you need for the hard things in your life. You've GOT TO develop these skills, or intuitive eating won' t work for you. -Most people quit during the "messy middle" because they think that the discomfort means it's not working or that they're not cut out for it. FALSE. -Dieting gave you a false sense of certainty (and false promises), and now you're having to tolerate a LOT of uncertainty in order to become a full-fledged intuitive eater. It's not easy. But it's 100% worth it.   Today's Wellness Woo is the term "natural."   Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast242    Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group!: https://www.facebook.com/groups/intuitiveeatingmadeeasy Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Join Katy's weekly email newsletter: https://www.nondietacademy.com/newsletter  Stop the Constant Food Obsession: https://www.nondietacademy.com/food    Connect with Katy Harvey  Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD     Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

You decided you were DONE with dieting…so you started eating All. The. Things.   Now instead of obsessing about calories and how much weight you've lost, you're obsessing about the sweet treat you're going to eat later, eating until you're stuffed on pasta because it tastes sooooo good, and ordering the most indulgent thing on the menu during date night at your favorite restaurant - just because you can.    On one hand it's fun…But on the other hand you know that this isn't actually a healthy way of living forever.    But don't panic. This doesn't have to completely derail your intuitive eating journey or send you back to dieting. It's just a detour, and in this episode we're going to reroute you back on course to making peace with food and listening to your body, so you can eat in sync with what your body needs.   Episode Highlights  -Why revenge eating happens -The #1 mistake people make after they start revenge eating -4 steps to breaking out of the revenge eating cycle  -A hard truth that you might not be ready to hear (but you need to)   Today's Wellness Woo is the term "root cause."   Resources Mentioned - Grab the free How to Stop Thinking About Food Guide: https://www.nondietacademy.com/food    Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast240    Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group!: https://www.facebook.com/groups/intuitiveeatingmadeeasy Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Join Katy's weekly email newsletter: https://www.nondietacademy.com/newsletter    Connect with Katy Harvey  Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD     Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

Most people think weight loss is simple: eat less, move more, push through the fatigue. But what if that approach is exactly why so many diets fail? Today, I'm joined by Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, a PhD in brain and cognitive sciences who studies the neuroscience of eating behavior and long-term weight loss. According to Dr. Susan, fatigue during dieting is a short-term feeling that should ease over time…with the right approach. When you cut calories, your body doesn't just burn fat and carry on. It responds. Metabolism slows, energy drops, and hormones shift in ways that are normal but may make you feel tired. However, Dr. Susan's work challenges the idea that dieting has to mean constant hunger and fatigue. According to her data, hunger actually drops to very low levels when the right strategy is in place. Her approach is different. She believes sustainable results don't come from pushing harder. They come from working with your biology in ways that reduce fatigue, stabilize appetite, and support long-term adherence. In this episode, Dr. Susan and I break down why dieting so often leads to rebound weight gain and what to do instead. (This episode was initially released in May 2017)

What if the reason you keep falling off track has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or the right diet plan, and everything to do with how you see yourself?In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD draws on James Clear's Atomic Habits, Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck's research on the growth mindset, and Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer's Progress Principle to make the case for identity-based change. The goal isn't to lose weight. The goal is to become someone who prioritizes her health, because it turns out that shift changes everything.You'll learn why outcome-based goals eventually run out of fuel, how every small healthy choice is quietly building (or undermining) your self-image, and why becoming a healthy person absolutely does not require being a perfect one.Plus: a simple NBA (Next Best Action) to try today that takes about 30 seconds and might stick with you for years. Thanks for listening!

Women are more likely to diet for fat loss than men.But they're also more likely to run into challenges that make the process feel frustrating, confusing, and harder to sustain.In this episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I'm joined by Lyle McDonald for a deep dive into the topic of female fat loss.Lyle has been writing about fitness, nutrition, dieting, and female physiology for decades, and in this episode we unpack the physiological, behavioral, and practical reasons why fat loss can be more difficult for women.We cover the most common mistakes women make when dieting, why women often lose scale weight slower than men, how sex differences in metabolism, energy expenditure, fat storage patterns, and lean mass retention impact fat loss outcomes, and why aggressive low-calorie dieting can create bigger problems for women.This episode is not about fear mongering or making women feel like their bodies are broken.It's about helping women understand their physiology so they can take a smarter, more strategic approach to fat loss.HERE IS WHAT WE COVER:THE MOST COMMON FAT LOSS MISTAKES WOMEN MAKEWHY AGGRESSIVE DIETING OFTEN BACKFIRESSEX DIFFERENCES IN METABOLISM & ENERGY EXPENDITUREWHY WOMEN LOSE WEIGHT SLOWER THAN MENDIFFERENCES IN FAT STORAGE PATTERNS BETWEEN MEN & WOMENTHE TRUTH BEHIND THE 3500 CALORIE RULEWHY WOMEN MAY LOSE LESS LEAN MASS DURING A DIETLOW ENERGY AVAILABILITY & RELATIVE ENERGY DEFICIENCYWHY VERY LOW-CALORIE DIETS CAN BE MORE PROBLEMATIC FOR WOMENIf you found this episode helpful, share it with someone who needs to hear it.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/Email: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comFor Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiry

In this eye-opening episode, Heather Creekmore uncovers how modern diet culture has borrowed religious language—like sin, guilt, and temptation—and transformed eating into a moral battleground.

Don’t miss this liberating conversation that will help you stop comparing and start living with joy and freedom at the dinner table.

My current perspective on eating disorders is that labeling food behaviors as a disorder has kept the field of food recovery distracted, continuing to focus on that food is the problem. Patterns of binge eating, restriction, yo yo dieting, food noise, and body image struggles need to be re-labeled as nervous system dysregulation or a trauma response. Food, for many, was never actually the problem, but it was the strategy to support the nervous system, to cultivate safety, and to produce specific neurotransmitters. The safer you feel in your body, the less you can experience food or body image impulses that are trying to facilitate safety.In this week's episode, I chat with Francesca Annenberg, Eating Disorder Recovery, Somatic Practitioner, and Psychedelic Integration Guide, about: How psychedelic assisted therapies can be utilized in food recoveryHow movement, sensory awareness and reconnecting with the body can transform food and body image issuesBuilding safety and trust in the bodyThe connection between food, relationships, and self worthYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/breakthrough-food-recovery-stucknessI truly believe somatic psychology has been the missing piece for many people struggling for decades with their food and body image.

I'm just going to say it—some of the advice we're listening to right now… we need to start considering the source.Because it's really easy to hear someone talk about motherhood, success, or balance and start questioning yourself. Am I doing too much? Not enough? Should I want more?But not every perspective is meant for your life.In this episode, I'm talking about what it means to step back and ask: who is this advice actually for? Because the reality is, a lot of what we hear—about work, parenting, and even our bodies—is coming from people living completely different lives, with completely different priorities and support systems.And while we're trying to keep up with all of that, we're also trying to fix our bodies at the same time. Lose weight. Look a certain way. Feel confident. Do it all.At some point, you have to pause and ask:What do I actually want my life to look like?Not what sounds impressive.Not what works for someone else.Not what you think you should want.I'm sharing my perspective on choosing a life that fits me, why I'm okay where I'm at, and how chasing a “better body” and a “better life” at the same time can keep you stuck if you're not careful.You don't have to follow every piece of advice you hear. You don't have to want more just because someone else does. And you don't need a different body to start living your life.You just need to decide what's actually right for you.Show Notes

If you've ever felt out of control around food, this episode will completely shift how you see it. Instead of blaming willpower, discipline, or yourself, you'll learn what's actually happening beneath those moments and why nothing has worked long-term. This conversation breaks down the hidden "trigger → relief → repeat" loop that keeps you stuck, and introduces a new way to finally change the pattern at its root. "You're not out of control. You're triggered, and that changes everything." Key Takeaways Feeling out of control with food doesn't mean something is wrong with you; you're triggered The real issue isn't discipline, it's an automatic pattern happening beneath awareness Dieting, restriction, and "trying harder" often make the cycle worse The brain prioritizes relief and safety, not logic, in triggered moments The temporary relief from eating is what reinforces the cycle Understanding the pattern is not enough; you need tools to change it True freedom means less mental noise, not perfect eating Timestamps 0:01 – Why this approach is different from traditional weight loss 1:00 – "There's nothing wrong with you" explained 2:14 – Why discipline-based advice fails 4:26 – The feeling of being "out of control" with food 7:10 – What actually needs to change 11:27 – The real reason the pattern keeps repeating 12:35 – Trigger vs willpower explained 14:15 – The trigger → relief → repeat loop 18:03 – Why diets, therapy, and knowledge aren't enough 21:29 – Orthorexia and the "new rules, same cage" problem 23:39 – How NLP helps change the pattern 25:00 – What life looks like when you're untriggered 29:00 – Why understanding alone doesn't create change 31:52 – What a Food Freedom Call is 33:08 – Final mindset shift: you're not broken Connect With Leslie Thornton: Book A Clarity Call Website Facebook LinkedIn Email: Leslie@hpwl.co If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a quick review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes in under 60 seconds?

“I have seen my best self as attainable working you”Brittany wanted to attend the event last year but made excuses as to why she couldn't.“I don't know these people”“I can't make it, I have work”& this year she realized she was the only thing in her own way. She saw how she was holding herself back & decided she didn't want that to be her story anymore.The ladies who go to events like this & completely shift their identity into this unstoppable badass aren't different than you.They just chose to put their excuses to the side & find a way to get in the room

I have a saying, Embody first, Examine later.When you're feeling like you're drowning in body image concerns or food impulses, your prefrontal cortex is shut down. This is the part of your brain where you rationalize and can think through what is going on. When that part of your brain is diminished, it can be much harder to try to understand what message your body is trying to send you through food cravings or body image worries.At this point, what is often needed is non-verbal connection with your body. Your body needs support in assessing that it is safe.In this week's episode, I chat with Beverly Atkins, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and the founder of Pauseture, about: The impact of movement on body awarenessNavigating body image and self perceptionCultural influences on body image and how the practice of Feldenkrais can support in updating your experience of your bodyHow to shift focus from appearance to sensationUnderstanding food behaviors through movement and nervous system attunementYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/feldenkrais-practice-can-improve-body-imageLastly, the doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!! Early bird pricing of $150 off goes until Tuesday, April 28th.

You don't need another diet. You need a different life.In this episode, I'm sharing some tough love about the cycle so many women stay stuck in—chasing quick fixes, starting over every Monday, and trying to “fix” their body instead of looking at what's really going on underneath.Because here's the truth: quick fixes don't change your life. They just give you a smaller body in the same life that's making you unhappy.I'm also sharing a glimpse into my recent travels and the life I've created—one that didn't come from a crash diet, but from making a decision a long time ago to stop putting my life on hold.If you've been waiting to lose weight before you start living, this episode is your wake-up call.You don't need a smaller body. You need a bigger life.Show Notes

Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Eric Helms to break down the latest research on protein intake during fat loss and what it really takes to preserve muscle while dieting.

If you've tried everything — calorie counting, macros, keto, starting over every Monday — and still feel out of control around food… this episode is your turning point.   Coach Steph Miramontes and I are pulling back the curtain on my 6-week signature program, Outsmart Overeating, and showing you exactly how we help women stop binge and emotional eating for good.   This isn't about more rules. It's about fixing the real problem: your inner psychology.   Because if you know what to do but can't seem to do it… that's the work.   Inside this episode, I walk you through the step-by-step process we use to help you feel calm, in control, and consistent around food... without tracking, restriction, or "getting back on track."   Here's what you'll learn:   Why dieting is keeping you stuck in the binge/restrict cycle The 6-week roadmap to rewire your thinking, habits, and identity How to eat like a naturally thin person (without food rules) The self-sabotage patterns running in the background—and how to stop them What real accountability and coaching should actually look like   If you're ready to lose weight for the last time — and finally feel normal around food — the Outsmart Overeating program will show you how to get there.

Today I want to talk about the point where most women quit. Not in the beginning when motivation is high and we're stacking quick wins and definitely not later on when results are much easier to see. I'm talking about the messy middle, the point where the scale stops moving. Your frustration starts building, and the brain immediately wants to assume something must be wrong with the game plan. This is the moment where a woman starts questioning everything, including her coach. She's hitting her numbers, tracking her macros. She's training consistently, going for walks, focusing on recovery, doing her cardio. She is consistent and instead of seeing the scale reward her effort, she feels like she's doing all of this work for nothing. That is the fork in the road, because this is where most women begin to panic and negatively start speaking about their process. They write stories in their brain. This is where she wants to cut calories even lower. Add more cardio. Question her coach. Take control of the steering wheel and rewrite the coach's plan. This is where more pressure gets piled on to a system that was already stressed to begin with. And inside the SF Coaching Method, this is also the exact point where our coaches do not panic. This is where we educate, we manage expectations, and we keep building the foundation instead of reacting emotionally to a temporary stall. So today I want to give you an inside look at one of those moments a real client, a real plateau, and a real coaching decision that most people and many coaches often get wrong.   Time Stamps:   (1:24) When Women Start Questioning Everything  (2:40) Client Case Study (4:30) The Result (19:15) Weight Gain Being Part Of The Process (21:05) Dieting vs Coaching ----------  Apply for SF Coaching Method  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/sfhq-cc Complimentary Health Content  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/Health_Wellness_Community ----------  Follow Me On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahfechter.ifbbpro/   Check Out My Website - https://www.sarahfechter.com ----------  This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, other professional health care services, or any professional practice of any kind.

Anne Cunningham shares her inspiring journey of breaking free from decades of dieting and food obsession. After years of feeling consumed by food, weight, and constant mental chatter, she discovered a completely different approach, one that focuses on emotional awareness, self-connection, and learning to listen to the body instead of controlling it. Through the program, Anne shifted from living in her head to truly connecting with her body, which helped her understand the deeper emotional patterns driving her behaviors. In this conversation, Anne opens up about how tools like emotional mastery, re-parenting, and belief work helped her uncover the root causes behind overeating. Rather than labeling herself as a "food addict," she learned to approach herself with compassion and curiosity. This shift not only improved her relationship with food but also created positive changes across her entire life, including her relationships, mindset, and daily peace. Now, Anne describes her life as freer and more balanced. She no longer follows strict rules or diets; instead, she checks in with her body, makes mindful choices, and lets go of guilt. While cravings still arise, she responds differently, with awareness rather than reaction. Her story is a powerful reminder that lasting transformation comes from within, and that real change is possible at any stage of life. "Get out of your head and into your body, that's where real change begins."

Since my time in graduate school for somatic psychotherapy, I have shared with anyone who would listen about the connection between somatics and nutrition. It has felt absurd to me that food was never talked about in my somatic studies. In my PhD interview, I passionately shared that I believe there is a need to bring the field of nutrition into somatics. This has been a 20-year journey where I'm seeing that others have also been trying to combine these fields. One of those people I'm thrilled to bring back onto the podcast.In this week's episode, I chat with Luis Mojica, Somatic Educator, certified in Holistic Nutrition, and author of Food Therapy, about: How Luis also came to combine the fields of somatics, nutrition, and traumaFood as a witness to your darkest momentsWhat different foods will do in your nervous systemThe importance of titrating balancing foods into your mealsOwning the choice to lean on food Somatic practices to move through cravings Discovering what your most craved foods are trying to do for you You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-to-use-food-cravings-as-feedback-of-your-nervous-system-statesWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Luis: Website: www.holisticlifenavigation.com Link to book page: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book Podcast: www.holisticlifenavigation.com/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistic.life.navigationSupport 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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...
