Men Unscripted is a podcast where men are joining the host, Aaron Flores to share what it is like for them to live in their body and their experiences with food. All of the conversations are anonymous and each participant is using an alias in the hopes that their anonymity helps them be as vulnerable as possible. Jason's story is the final episode of Season 2.  He shares early life experiences that impacted his relationship with food and his body. Jason's story includes coming terms to having an eating disorder, while existing in a larger body, being a man of faith and living in the south. Jason also talks how trauma and finding community in his healing has been so helpful. Trigger Warning, there is some discussion of voilence via a home brake-in. Jason does not go into too many details, but for folks who might have a hard time hearing that, feel free to skip this episode if that is best for you.

He is a Certified Body Trust® provider and he also the co-host of the popular podcast, Dietitians Unplugged. We seem to think that disordered eating is a girl thing, perhaps because that's what the “numbers” tell us. But the numbers only reflect people who get help and people who know they have a problem. For various reasons, that doesn't quite frequently happen in men. Aaron and I talk about what may be similar or different in ED's in men. And we talk about shame. Sprinkled into this episode is Aaron's Star Wars love and his knack for taking lessons from the series. You can't see but his office is full of Star Wars paraphernalia. Stay tuned until the end, we chat a bit about clinicians who have their own ED and disordered eating struggles. I won't say more about that here, you'll have to listen!

This week I'm replaying an amazing discussion I had one year ago with registered dietitian Glenys Oyston.  She lost weight, kept it off for years, and was considered a true success story. What people didn't realize is she didn't feel successful at all but instead was a full-time food and body obsession. Details on the episode are below. I'll be back next week with a new episode!!!  * * *  I am so excited to bring you this latest episode of Speaking of Hungry! I’ve been listening to the Dietitians Unplugged podcast with Glenys Oyston and Aaron Flores for quite some time now. Recently I was reading Christy Harrison’s Anti-Diet book and Glenys popped up. Then I was listening to the Pursuing Private Practice podcast and Glenys was the guest. I am beyond thrilled that Glenys, a Los Angeles-based anti-diet dietitian, joined me to chat on Speaking of Hungry. I know you’re going to like this one! Glenys joins me and talks about her relentless pursuit of weight loss, how losing weight was never enough, and that keeping weight off for several years meant taking obsessive measures.  We talk about: Her dieting history starting in her early 20’s that led her to sign up for the National Weight Control Registry. How Glenys was a weight-loss “unicorn” who kept the weight off for over five years but this wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies.  She explains the obsessive measures required to keep her weight off.  How her weight loss journey led her to pursue becoming a registered dietitian.  How her reaction to stressful times in her life was to tackle her weight and try to shrink her body.  When her weight loss pursuit took a “dark turn” and persisted despite the struggle to keep losing.  Her work with clients and Health at Every Size (HAES) program for diabetics currently in the works with Rebecca Scritchfield. Take your mind off of all that’s going on in the world right now. While most of us are in quarantine, we must be mindful that we still have needs and we still have our recovery to work on. We may not be able to give it 100% at this time but we have to try to give it something!

I am so excited to bring you this latest episode of Speaking of Hungry! I’ve been listening to the Dietitians Unplugged podcast with Glenys Oyston and Aaron Flores for quite some time now. Recently I was reading Christy Harrison’s Anti-Diet book and Glenys popped up. Then I was listening to the Pursuing Private Practice podcast and Glenys was the guest. I am beyond thrilled that Glenys, a Los Angeles-based anti-diet dietitian, joined me to chat on Speaking of Hungry. I know you’re going to like this one! Glenys joins me and talks about her relentless pursuit of weight loss, how losing weight was never enough, and that keeping weight off for several years meant taking obsessive measures.  We talk about: Her dieting history starting in her early 20’s that led her to sign up for the National Weight Control Registry. How Glenys was a weight-loss “unicorn” who kept the weight off for over five years but this wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies.  She explains the obsessive measures required to keep her weight off.  How her weight loss journey led her to pursue becoming a registered dietitian.  How her reaction to stressful times in her life was to tackle her weight and try to shrink her body.  When her weight loss pursuit took a “dark turn” and persisted despite the struggle to keep losing.  Her work with clients and Health at Every Size (HAES) program for diabetics currently in the works with Rebecca Scritchfield. Take your mind off of all that’s going on in the world right now. While most of us are in quarantine, we must be mindful that we still have needs and we still have our recovery to work on. We may not be able to give it 100% at this time but we have to try to give it something!

In today's episode, we'll explore eating intuitively with diabetes. Can you blend intuitive eating and diabetes together? I know this may feel counter-intuitive. As a matter of fact, I hear and get this question very frequently because let’s be honest, food restriction and weight loss are what Dr.Google tells us we must do in order to live with diabetes. Unfortunately, as with most health education available on the internet, it’s not the whole truth...or the truth at all. I wanted to create the ultimate guide to help you with your diabetes journey and intuitive eating... and I did! This is a collaboration with two colleagues that are expert in the treatment of diabetes under the lens of Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating. Rebecca Scritchfield is a Washington DC-based Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Exercise Physiologist. And, she has been practicing weight inclusive, HAES care since 2008. Rebecca is also the author of the book Body Kindness and the host of the Body Kindness podcast. Glenys Oyston is a Los Angeles-based Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. In addition, she has been practicing a HAES® philosophy since 2010 and has provided extensive diabetes education for the past five years. Glenys is co-host of the Dietitians Unplugged podcast. What we cover in this episode of eating intuitively with diabetes:  Is weight-loss the solution to treating diabetes? 5 most frequent myths about diabetes debunk The Health at Every Size approach to treating diabetes Where to find resources to integrate a non-restrictive approach to preventing and treating diabetes.

Me: “... but I need to lose weight”. Her: “Ok... I can see how you can think that.” Me: “Everything you are sharing with me makes so much sense and I can feel it inside of me, that it’s what I need [pause & sigh] … but I need to lose weight”. The tears started to roll off my cheeks. Uncontrollably crying. The tears were coming from the depth of my gut. It was one of those moments when you want to stop crying because you really don’t want to cry in front of strangers but you can’t... it’s not in your control. Her: “Stephanie, your desires to lose weight are valid. It’s normal that you want to lose weight. These desires are encouraged every day by the society in which we live in, an environment that is laden with weight stigma, body size discrimination, and fatphobia. It makes perfect sense that you want to lose weight.” I was deeply confused.  Life is on hold until I lose weight I was 38 years old and the last 25 years of my personal life had been a series pressing “pause” and “play”. I only allowed myself to “play” my personal life when I was at a weight that was recognized by others to be ok. If I was gaining weight or not working hard to lose the “not normal excess weight,” my personal life was on “pause”. Her: “So, let’s work through this, Stephanie. Why do you want to lose weight? What do you feel will happen when you lose weight?” Me: “ Uhhh.....”  No one ever asked me this question. I never asked myself this question either. My brain was stumped... blank.  Her: “It’s normal that you don’t know how to answer this question. You likely never thought of the desire to lose weight as optional therefore never considered why you were desiring it.”  She was right by that point it had been 27 years. Since my teens, I had lived on and off diets always chasing “another body”. The truth was my happiness was conditional to the way my body looked. Even when my body looked “ok” it was such a battle to keep it up that I didn’t have the mental space or time to fully enjoy my now “allowed happy life”. Me: “I guess you’re right...”  Her: “Until we see each other again I want you to ask yourself these questions: Where is the desire to lose weight coming from? What do you feel will happen if you lose weight? Will you be treated differently? Will you feel beautiful? Worthy? Healthy?   As a good perfectionist, I did my homework. I had so many Ah Ah moments... many realizations. It took me a while to fully accept what these questions forced me to see: As a strong, independent & feminist woman, I had given away my power. The journey back to my power The social conditionings of the patriarchy of our modern society had kept me very busy dieting and chasing after the false currency of beauty instead of chasing my dreams. Being consumed by the fear of how my body looks was keeping me away from my power. I found my power. My true power. The power to live my life now. I gave myself the permission to be enough unconditionally to what my body looks like or weight. I no longer needed to be perfect in “all the things” or to make choices to please others in fear of rejection In today’s episode, we welcome a guest, Aaron Flores is a Registered Dietician with a private practice is in Calabasas, CA. He uses Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size® in his work to help individuals learn how to make peace with food and their bodies. Aaron is a Certified Body Trust® provider and he also the co-host of the popular podcast, Dietitians Unplugged. On this episode, Aaron and I answered the following questions: Why do we feel the need to lose weight? Is the pursuit of weight loss helpful? Can we take a weight-neutral approach to health? My doctor said I need to lose weight How to manage our medical provider expectation and discussion with regards to bodyweight Mentioned on the show: "So... You Want to Lose Weight?"

Plus, Christy answers a listener question about whether joining fitness competitions can ever be helpful in eating-disorder recovery.

Today I’m talking with Aaron Flores, a registered dietician nutritionist and certified Body Trust provider based out of Los Angeles. Aaron works with individuals healing from disordered eating and runs groups specifically geared towards men. He is also the co-host of the popular podcast Dietitians Unplugged.   Listen as Aaron discusses his shift from focusing on weight-loss to embracing the principles of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, how to enjoy eating, and movie metaphors to help you in your own recovery.   Show Highlights:  How Aaron left behind years of dieting People need to stop blaming themselves for their bodies Many folks have been subjected to intense oppression around their bodies Running a weight-loss program for the VA How he straddled weight-loss and Health at Every Size paradigms for a long time How he identifies as fat and brings that into his work Healing can begin when we name the impact of weight stigma and fatphobia His group work with men and how frustrating it is to be asked about the male body image experience as if there was just one experience of being in a man’s body Discovering the satisfaction factor Eating what’s enjoyable Asking yourself what you like about certain foods You need to let the rebellious part of you eat what it wants “Am I doing this right?” is such a common question from folks recovering from dieting and eating disorders Health at Every Size is not just a book, it’s a social-justice movement How the word “health” can exclude people   Links & Resources   Dieticians Unplugged podcast Aaron Flores’s website Intuitive Eating website Health At Every Size by Linda Bacon Shilo George

Our guest today is Glenys Oyston, registered dietitian, and food therapist who co-hosts the podcast, “Dietitians Unplugged”, with fellow anti-diet dietitian, Aaron Flores.  Listen in as Glenys and Marielle talk about fat-positivity, body acceptance and eating intuitively instead of dieting. While we are all born with the ability to sense our internal hunger and fullness signals if you have a history of chronic dieting or disordered eating you may have lost touch with these signals. There is a way back and it involves patience, putting aside the desire to lose weight and connecting with others who are on a non-diet path.    Show Highlights: Fat isn’t inherently unhealthy, despite what we’ve been told We come in all shapes and sizes. Body diversity is a real thing! Trying to fix larger bodies is detrimental How disordered eating habits have become the norm Reclaiming the word “fat” as a neutral descriptor of a body size The words “overweight” and “obese” pathologize and medicalize larger bodies  Addressing eating concerns without a focus on weight The HAES (Health At Every Size) philosophy Intuitive Eating principles Eating disorders happen in folks of all sizes The myth that people put on weight as a protective factor How the fear of weight gain makes it harder to eat intuitively  The misconceptions of “Body Acceptance” Dealing with fat-shaming doctors and setting boundaries The risks of weight-cycling The importance of connecting to the robust fat-acceptance community online It’s actually ok to be fat   Links & Resources:  https://cookierevolution.org https://daretonotdiet.wordpress.com https://www.facebook.com/DareToNotDiet https://www.facebook.com/glenys.oyston http://dietitiansunplugged.libsyn.com Aaron Flores & Glenys Oyston Podcasts https://lindabacon.org/health-at-every-size-book/ - Linda Bacon https://benourished.org - offers programs, workshops, retreats, and e-courses for individuals looking to reclaim Body Trust® https://danceswithfat.org/blog/ - Ragen Chastain http://www.secretsfromtheeatinglab.com - Traci Mann

Let’s face it: finding love is not easy, and it can feel even harder – maybe even impossible – when you’re dating while plus-size in a fat-phobic world. That’s why we asked psychotherapist and dating expert Krista Niles to talk with us about the challenges of plus-size dating in this episode of Dietitians Unplugged. Krista gave us the goods on everything: dating profile photos, body image issues, dealing with fat fetishists, weight stigma and fat acceptance stats in dating, first dates, the differences in straight and queer dating, and where and how to get help if you’re struggling in the online dating world.

We all are the experts of our own bodies. Feelings of betrayal from food and your body can make finding body trust and connecting with your internal wisdom that much harder. Have self-compassion and gratitude for what our bodies CAN do! Let's shift our thinking... instead of listing all the foods you CAN'T eat when you struggle with something like celiac disease, figure out all the foods you CAN eat. Intuitive eating isn't JUST about flavor (Elyse calls it "the tongue")! It's also about tuning into how we FEEL when we eat certain foods. Intuitive eating is a combination of instinct, feeling, and thought! How do we use our body, education, taste, and intellect to help guide us in our choices? Healthy eating includes pleasure and satisfaction!! If we don't honor our hunger, we'll put ourselves in a situation where we're ravenous, and then we can't find satisfaction in our food. Likewise, if we eat without hunger present, food just doesn't taste as good! It's all about finding the middle ground with hunger. Feelings of deprivation lead directly to bingeing! Shifting our mentality can open the door to profound healing. Dieting doesn't work!! Lean into compassion... whatever we've done, we've done it because it's what we thought we needed to do at the time. It was a way to cope! We can't get mad at ourselves for doing our very best, even if it didn't turn out to be a sustainable path for progress. Come from a place of curiosity, rather than judgment.

Glenys and Aaron take some time to talk with Julie Duffy Dillon MS, RD, NCC, LDN, CEDRD and she shares her wealth of knowledge about a often misunderstood issue affecting 1 out of 10 women, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  Julie is an expert in the field and has years of experience working with PCOS. She’s seen first hand how the pursuit of weight loss has had such a damaging effect on women who struggle with PCOS, which is the leading cause of infertility.  It’s a challenging issue in which many women are at risk for developing eating disorders and Julie shares with us specific tools to help as well as discussing an exciting new online program she is launching this month.  You won’t want to miss this episode of Dietitians Unplugged.   Discussed in this episode: PCOS Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PCOSandFoodPeaceSupport/ Julie’s Free PCOS Roadmap: PCOSandFoodPeace.com   More about Aaron: www.bvmrd.com More about Glenys: www.daretonotdiet.com

Isabel is the creator of the free video training program Stop Fighting Food  —a free video training program for women who want to "stop feeling crazy around food." After years of trying to overcome emotional eating, binge-eating and chronic weight-cycling through traditional and alternative approaches, Isabel discovered some radical new ways to get women over their "food issues" once and for all—not just by shifting the mindsets of individuals, but by challenging the dominant diet culture as a whole.  Discussed in this episode: Marc David Book: Calories and Corsets: A History of Dieting over 2000 Years Stop Fighting Food Free Video Training Program    More about Glenys    More about Aaron

In this episode, I talk to Watershed Wellness - Portland Naturopathic Doctor DeAun Nelson about what brought her to Naturopathic medicine, what gets her excited about practice and how you can connect with her. But the podcast really takes off when we delve into Dr. Nelson's favorite topic - weight neutral healthcare and Health At Every Size (TM). You'll hear some basic definitions, discussion about weight stigma in healthcare (and beyond) and a few hints about what future podcast discussions might bring with Dr. Nelson.

Guys have body image issues too, they just aren’t talking about it. In fact, research shows over 90% of men struggle in some way with body dissatisfaction and negative affect (negative opinions of self), or negative emotions and thoughts towards one’s body (Castonguay et al. 2014). In this episode, fellow HAES dietitian Aaron Flores and I discuss the “dad bod” that requires men to have muscle and a bit of softness to show they like to workout and eat pizza. While it’s still body oppression and a singular “ideal” for men to strive to become, we acknowledge that it’s much more forgiving and flexible than the thin ideals for women. We delve into the ways men’s body image issues look different than women’s and why most men wouldn’t dare to bring up their weight and body concerns with their friends. Mainly, it has to do with societal expectations of men to maintain power, be strong, and solve problems, not have problems. We discuss how men can set boundaries with their male friends around diets, weight loss, and muscles to protect their well-being. Aaron shares how he understands his male clients’ desires to change their bodies while helping them learn how to be more kind to their bodies through self-care instead of diets.

Almost no one is free from beliefs, rules and attitudes about food. But some of us have experienced an undue amount of emotional pain as a result, riding this rollercoaster of harshly conditional self-love. And some people develop full blown eating disorders where rules, punishment, and rebellion formulate some of the most wretched, soul-destroying patterns to break free from.

Download Episode! In today's episode of the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast, I talk to Aaron Flores from Calabasas, California. Aaron is a registered dietitian nutritionist who specializes in Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size (HAES). As he describes on his website, he promotes a non-diet, weight neutral approach to changing behaviors that lead to improved health. He says "If you feel like you’ve tried every diet, your weight has yo-yo’ed for years and you are ready to stop fighting your body and learn to love food again, then I am the dietitian for you." I’ve had Aaron in my ears for a while now, because he is the man that hosts one of my favorite podcasts, namely Dietitians Unplugged, with the fabulous Glenys Oyston, whom I introduced you to in episode 12 of the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast. So it is high time you meet the other half of that wonderful podcast. And you will! Listen to Aaron talk about: – How he came up with his Star Wars analogy for Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size versus diet-culture – How he experienced his body as a boy – How he and his family related to food – Why he’ll never forget his first trip to the dietitian with his mother – What the dietitian told him to do and why that set him up for the diet-binge-cycle – How he judged his body as an adolescent – How he ended up dieting for years and why he stopped – How diets fail all people, and why people still think "they failed" at the diet – What made him decide to become a registered dietitian – What he thought of Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size when we first heard it – Why he clung to the idea of weight-loss for as long as he did – How his transition into Intuitive Eating went for him – How he is working on accepting his own body – Why his transition into Intuitive Eating made him eventually leave his job and open his own practice – What he has learned from his whole transformation – What made see the logic behind a weight-neutral approach to health – Why learning about Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size is a lot like the movie "The Matrix" – How he handles his own judgmental side towards people, diets and bodies – Why he calls himself a feminist man and how he recognizes his privilege as a white male – How he wants to raise his boys – Why he is so grateful for his wife... ...

Download Episode! Hello, lovely radicals! Time for another podcast ride; hold on tight! In this episode of the "Life Unrestricted" podcast, we are getting to know Glenys Oyston. Glenys is a Registered Dietitian who does NOT believe in dieting; she has seen behind the diet-culture BS and has become a Health At Every Size dietitian. Like many of her fellow RD’s that follow the Health At Every Size (HAES, for short) principles, she knows that it’s much more helpful to improve our relationship to our bodies and food than focusing on weight-loss. She has been a diet-victim for decades, just like many of us, and she has experienced just how much attention and congratulations we get when weight is lost. Therefore she knows exactly why so many people dread to gain weight. But instead of keeping on living in the pre-hell of either lusting after food or restricting it, she got taught a better way. She got educated about HAES, Health At Every Size, and as she says, it has transformed her life and the way she thinks about weight, diet and body image. Needless to say, she never dieted again and she is doing fabulous. She has helped countless humans ditch diet-mentality and find true self-acceptance and a healthy body image. She also writes the amazing blog called "Dare To Not Diet" and she is a fellow podcast lady. Together with Aaron Flores, she hosts the highly recommendable podcast "Dietitians Unplugged". Glenys tells us how she came to be a Health At Every Size (HAES) dietitian, and how the process of stepping out of the dogmatic diet-culture chains has helped her—finally, in her forties—to develop a relaxed and uncomplicated, peaceful relationship with food and her body. She shares her story with us and you’ll hear: – Why she never learned to eat balanced meals as a kid – How her mother’s diet-mentality kept her from eating with her daughter – How she ended up comforting herself with cookies and cake – Why she ended up repeating what her mother did: go on strict, restrictive diets – How dieting kept her mental and physical bandwidth trapped and made her obsess about food – How an incredibly lucky coincidence saved her from another 20+ years of yoyo-dieting – How studying the Health At Every Size (HAES) principles helped her free herself from eternal dieting – How she gave up on the "thin person-game" and learned to accept her body in its natural, happy shape – Why she thinks it’s no coincidence that diet-culture started skyrocketing after women got the right to – What is lost on the world when the majority of the female population is dieting/focusing so much energy on weight-loss – How diets are just as addictive as any other coping mechanism – Why it’s never really about the weight or our body, even when we think it is – What we have to work on before we can successfully ditch diets and embody ourselves – How she and her HAES-colleagues help their clients to un-diet and re-allow their previously restricted foods into their diet – Why the whole process of un-dieting requires a lot of trust, courage and strength – What her deepest wish is – What she would like to be remembered for... ...And so much more!
