Podcasts about food freedom

In this episode, we're talking about how diet culture shows up in diabetes care and how it can actually make things worse. We're joined by Janice Dada, a weight-inclusive diabetes expert, Certified Eating Disorders Registered Dietitian, and author of the upcoming book Intuitive Eating for Diabetes: The No Shame, No Blame, Non-Diet Approach to Managing Your Blood Sugar Janice shares how food fear, rigid nutrition advice, and weight-focused care can lead to disordered eating and make blood sugar management harder, not easier! We talk about how to recognize the ways diet culture shows up in care, why shifting away from shame-based approaches matters, and how it's possible to support blood sugar while still honoring your relationship with food and your body. Whether you live with diabetes or support folks who do, we hope this conversation offers validation, clarity, and a more compassionate approach to diabetes.Resources mentioned in episode: Artificial Sweeteners: https://diabetesdigital.co/artificial-sweeteners-and-diabetes/ New Intuitive Eating Scale: https://www.instagram.com/evelyntribole/p/C8xDjMPpBvo/?img_index=1If you're living with diabetes or prediabetes and want personalized support from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist covered by insurance, visit diabetesdigital.co to connect with our culturally aware and weight-inclusive team.

This week, we did something I've never talked about publicly before: a 72-hour water fast! But before you picture weight loss gimmicks or punishment, let's set the record straight: this was a functional health experiment rooted in curiosity, not restriction.  Inspired by Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz, I timed this fast with my Power Phase (Days 1–10 of my cycle) to align with rising estrogen and maximize the benefits. In this episode, I walk you through the “why” behind this advanced strategy—deep cellular cleanup, gut healing, immune support, and a major mental clarity reset. We'll unpack the science of what happens at different fasting milestones and why this isn't something I recommend as a starter strategy for clients. You'll also learn how women should approach fasting differently than men, especially in relation to their cycles and hormone resilience. I'll share how I prepped, what I experienced physically and emotionally, and what this fast revealed about my relationship with hunger, discipline, and intuition. Spoiler: this wasn't easy, but it was powerful. Whether or not a long fast is right for you, my goal is to encourage deeper body awareness and smarter strategies; not extremes. Tune in to hear what surprised me most, how this ties into hormone health, and why syncing with your cycle might be the missing piece.  If you've ever felt confused about fasting, this episode will help you reframe it entirely. DM me your questions or share this episode with a friend who needs a fresh take on fasting.  Time Stamps:  (1:12) All The Positive Emotions(3:04) Defining The 72 Hour Fast(7:30) Starting The Water Fast(9:23) Favorite and Least Favorite Parts(16:32) Why We Did This(25:54) Feeling The Detox(28:48) Using Black Coffee(33:42) Let Us Know If You Have Questions---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

For years, I thought nutrition had to be all or nothing… you either perfectly tracked your food, followed a strict diet, or you were "failing." I spent so much time overthinking every meal, trying to find the “perfect” way to eat, only to end up feeling stressed, guilty, and frustrated.I thought true health meant rigid rules, obsessive tracking, and pushing myself to stick to the latest diet trend.But the truth? Nutrition should be about fueling your body, building strength, and creating habits that support your life, not controlling every bite.In today's episode, I'm answering your top nutrition questions: from intermittent fasting, to how to actually hit your protein goals, to healing your relationship with food in a way that feels empowering, not exhausting.If you've ever struggled with overcomplicating nutrition, feeling lost with protein targets, or rebuilding trust with your body, this episode is for you!I Also Discuss:(00:00) Nutrition Myths You Still Believe (and What Actually Works)(07:41) How Much Protein You REALLY Need (Without Going Crazy)(16:17) Healing Your Relationship With Food (Without Strict Diets)(18:07) Navigating Sobriety When Your Partner Still Drinks(24:47) Why Broads Is Different: Strength Over ScalThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads App – Get structured, progressive training and a powerhouse community to keep you strong, consistent, and unstoppable.

What if improving your gut health didn't require expensive supplements, fancy tests, or endless trial and error? In today's episode, we dive into the often-overlooked lifestyle foundations that can significantly improve digestion, reduce bloating, and help you finally feel good after meals without needing a single lab result. We start with meal hygiene: how you eat is just as important as what you eat. Digestion begins in the brain, and simple changes like slowing down, turning off distractions, and chewing thoroughly can kickstart your gut's natural processes. You'll learn how stress and multitasking at meals divert blood flow away from the gut and how to set the stage for digestion by being present, cooking your own food, and even doing a quick breathing exercise. Next, we cover meal timing, and how aligning your eating habits with your body's natural rhythms can support the "housekeeping" system of your gut. You'll learn how a consistent eating schedule and small shifts like starting your day with warm lemon water can make a big impact. We also tackle what to eat specifically for constipation and diarrhea. From fiber types and fluid intake to soothing herbal teas and smart food swaps, you'll walk away with real strategies that work. Plus, we share our go-to cheat sheets for stool consistency and explain when it is time to use supplements or run labs. Even if supplements become part of your long-term plan (like they are for some of our clients), these lifestyle shifts are the groundwork for sustainable gut health.  Listen in and take the first step toward better digestion naturally.  Time Stamps: (3:32) GI Issue Call Recently (6:56) The Three Big Pillars of Gut Health (7:19) How You Eat and Meal Hygiene (13:47) Duration of Eating and Slowing Down (16:52) Drinking Too Much Water During Meals? (18:02) Deep Breaths Before Eating (18:57) Lowering The Intensity of Exercise (20:03) Meal Timing (22:24) My Preferred Tea Blend (24:57) What To Eat (26:40) Working Through Constipation (31:06) One Supplement We'll Discuss (37:57) Reach Out If You're Interested In Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Ever feel like you're constantly thinking about food, judging your body, or wondering if you'll ever feel normal around either? You're not alone—I've been there too.In this powerful episode, I sit down with licensed therapist Natalie Rose to unpack the deep emotional roots behind disordered eating, body shame, and the fear of weight gain—especially for women who've spent years tying their worth to a number on the scale.Natalie shares her raw, relatable journey from childhood body image struggles and binge-restrict cycles to orthorexia and chasing “health” through perfectionism. But her story doesn't end there. Through years of therapy, self-reflection, and professional training, she found true freedom—not just with food, but in how she sees and values herself. And now, she's helping other women do the same.We explore why healing has to come from within, what it really means to detach your self-worth from a number on the scale, and how to move through body image struggles with radical compassion (not another plan to “fix” yourself). Natalie also offers perspective on how social media fuels comparison and what to do when those old shame triggers resurface.Whether you're in a season of healing or still stuck in the “once I lose the weight, then I'll be happy” trap—this episode will give you the mindset shifts, emotional insight, and permission you didn't know you needed.xoxo,JackieConnect with Natalie:Instagram: @WakeupandsmelltherosayConnect with Jackie:Instagram: @the.mindful.nutritionist Podcast: Lose Weight MindfullyWebsite: www.eatright4life.comConnect with Jackie: >Got questions about MWLA?

Body positivity was never meant to be personal advice — it was a radical social justice movement designed to fight discrimination and injustice. So if you've tried to love your body and still feel stuck in shame, you're not broken — you're just reacting to a message that was never meant to fix you. In this episode, Deanna breaks down: The true origins of the body positivity movement How it got co-opted by brands and influencers Why “just love your body” can feel like toxic positivity What actually works: embodiment, neutrality, and letting go of appearance-based worth Why disconnecting your self-worth from your appearance changes everything …and how loving your body became the new perfectionism trap.

Happy Satiated Saturday! It can be confusing what path to choose for your food recovery when there are many different paths you can walk. When exploring all the various avenues, you can focus on your experience of choice. There is no "right" way to decrease your food coping mechanisms. It gets to be unique to you, your body, and what supports you in feeling the way you want to feel in your life. Your recovery resources are your choice (something that the experience of trauma can feel like it took away from you). When trying out any somatic, nervous system, trauma, parts practices, you can observe how you feel before, during, and after to discover which practices resonate with you. You will receive this bodily feedback by tracking your capacity to flow through dysregulation, big emotions and sensations, and what helps you to return to yourself again and again. In this week's episode, I chat with Caroline McNally, Hypnotherapist & Longevity Coach, about: Hypnotherapy resources you can use on yourself to navigate food urges and impulsesUtilizing visualization for navigating your relationship with foodThe importance of laughter on this healing journey Reminding yourself that you have a choiceYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/food-cravings-with-self-hypnosis-resources6 more days to sign up for the Somatic Eating® Program! In three months together, you will walk away with an abundance of various somatic practices to navigate your food cravings with connection, embodiment, and experience of choice.

Let's talk about maintenance calories, because I get this question super often. What the heck are they? Will I gain weight? Lose weight? Eat more? Should I be tracking them? I know this can feel confusing as hell, so I wanted to break it down in this episode! This time of year, sooo many women feel pressure to be in a cut or build phase, but…there IS another option: maintenance.Here's the thing though - you don't NEED to be dieting or trying to build muscle 24/7. Sometimes life is extra busy, things are chaotic, and adding a calorie deficit or extra pressure to perform just isn't it. Maintenance is not a pause button, but actually a powerful phase that gives your body the fuel it needs to THRIVE! Eating in maintenance is giving your metabolism the love it deserves.

Is the "just be consistent" advice getting old? By now, you've heard this advice at least a million times—from entrepreneurs, athletes, experts, coaches, and even humble newsletter writers. And they're all absolutely right. Consistency is the difference maker. The one common thread behind every major success story. But here's the problem: No one ever tells you how to be consistent—and let's be honest, it's easier said than done. Life gets chaotic. Motivation fades. Discipline wavers. Consistency breaks. Fortunately, I've spent hundreds of hours thinking about this exact problem—and I've distilled that thinking into a short list of practical strategies to help anyone become more consistent. In this episode, we are going to cover 7 practical strategies for staying consistent that aren't just a pass/fail perspective and actually make sense for pursuing the goals we want in our lives. Time Stamps: (1:18) Mama Pozos in Town (2:38) Consistency and Shoutout to Sahil Bloom (3:33) Main Points Of The Article (5:52) #1: Every Day Is Easier Than Most Days (8:02) #2: Fire In The Act, Grace In The Amount (12:02) #3: Mornings Are Your Cheat Code (14:47) #4: Harness The Power of Peer Accountability (18:52) #5: Use Progressive Overload To Build The Muscle (22:22) #6: Never Try To Make Up For A Miss (25:34) #7: Focus On The Trend, Not The Position (29:43) Managing Your Imperfections---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this raw and powerful episode, I open up about the hardest lesson I've learned as a mother — and how it changed the way I think about investing in support. When I tried to navigate my son's special education needs by myself, I lost six years of his growth and development. Not because I didn't care — but because I thought I had to do it all alone. I didn't even know advocates existed. By the time I realized how much help was available, I'd paid for it in time, stress, and missed opportunities. Just like so many women who come into my program, I had to grieve what could have been — and then make a bold decision to stop the cycle and invest in a better future. In this episode, you'll hear:

Happy Satiated Saturday! When you're feeling threatened in your body, hunger and fullness cues can feel wonky and also frightening. Hunger can come out of nowhere and remind you how little control you may feel in your life right now. The felt sense of hunger can be similar to past experiences you've had that left you feeling unsafe. The empty feeling may remind you of being abandoned as a child and the hurt and pain of not feeling held the way you needed to be. If you ignore hunger, you can also ignore the pain that hunger reminds you of. In this week's episode, I chat about: The somatic and cognitive influences on hungerHow the felt sense of hunger gets paired with danger Somatic practices to update your body's hunger story You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/why-youre-afraid-of-feeling-hungryIf you're looking for support to update your body's story of hunger, come join the Somatic Eating® Program.

Send us a textHave you ever thought, “Why can't I just get over this food thing already?” You're not alone—I've been there too. In this honest conversation, we unpack why making peace with food and your body can feel so frustratingly out of reach. Christina and I share our personal journeys, from restrictive diets in our teens to obsessing over “good” and “bad” foods, and how early experiences shaped the way we view food and ourselves. It's a layered struggle that many people face, and there's so much more behind it than just willpower.We dig into how the brain forms patterns around control and comfort, and how real change starts by addressing our thoughts, not just our behaviors. With insights from both neuroscience and Scripture—like Jesus' reminder to “clean the inside of the cup first”—we explore what healing can truly look like. You're not broken or weak; there's a path forward grounded in gratitude, truth, and community. No matter how long you've wrestled with this, there is real hope for freedom and peace—with food, with your body, and with yourself.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

In this rich and revealing episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz welcomes the legendary Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions and founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, for an eye-opening conversation that blends ancestral nutrition, holistic health, and spiritual alignment in today's toxic food and medical culture. Together, they unpack the roots of nutritional wisdom, challenge mainstream health narratives, and dive into controversial yet essential topics including raw milk, vaccine injury, the decline of small family farms, and why butter (not margarine) belongs on your plate. Sally also shares the spiritual significance of honoring the body as a temple, discusses the dietary crisis facing modern society, and offers practical advice to reclaim your family's health.   Critical topics include: • The difference between raw milk vs. pasteurized milk and the science behind why raw milk supports digestion, immunity, and childhood development • The impact of vaccines on child health, including SIDS, chronic illness, and Sally's perspective on medical freedom • The decline of small family farms and why local, regenerative agriculture must be preserved • Why traditional animal fats like butter, liver, and fish eggs are essential for hormonal health, fertility, and brain development • How processed foods, protein powders, and synthetic vitamins are silently damaging our population • Sally's perspective on the spiritual roots of nourishment, including Biblical insights into food, the sacredness of the body, and how nutrition aligns with God's design • The legacy of Dr. Weston A. Price and the principles behind his research on indigenous diets and generational health • Practical tips to start your real food journey, like the one-minute fix that could radically improve your family's health: making your own salad dressing   Jamie also opens up about her personal transformation from following mainstream health advice to finding healing through the Nutritional Therapy Association and Weston A. Price teachings—especially after a vaccine injury in her own family. The episode ends with a bold, hope-filled vision for the future of food, faith, and functional nutrition, including Sally's call for churches to reawaken to the importance of the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.   Whether you're an NTP, parent, homesteader, church leader, or just someone seeking truth in a world of health confusion, this episode will inspire and empower you to live nourished, informed, and aligned—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.   Resources Mentioned: • Weston A.

Courtney Luna's personal transformation from a lifelong yo-yo dieter to a healthier person through a carnivore diet has not only helped her lose 55 pounds but also significantly improved her mental health, allowing her to discontinue anxiety medication.KISMETDespite facing intense criticism online only after removing vegetables from her diet (not when sharing her previous diets), Courtney's carnivore cookbook has found unexpected success among non-carnivore households, where picky eaters are enjoying her meat-centric recipes.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald talk with Courtney Luna, author of "Carnivore in the Kitchen." Courtney shares her journey from being a yo-yo dieter since age 13 to finding success with a carnivore diet. After trying numerous diets including paleo and keto, she gained 40 pounds in four months when attempting to eat "everything in moderation." Her switch to a carnivore diet led to a 55-pound weight loss, improved mental health, and freedom from anxiety medication. Courtney discusses how she manages this way of eating with her family, teaching her children about nutrition while giving them some freedom with food choices. She explains how her cooking background as a yacht chef helped her create her cookbook, which includes creative recipes using ingredients like pork panko (ground pork rinds) to make everything from chicken nuggets to cinnamon rolls. Courtney also addresses the surprising online backlash she received only after removing vegetables from her diet.NOTABLE QUOTE"For me, food freedom is not mentally obsessing about these foods. Now that I don't eat that stuff, there's no all that loud food noise.

The social aspect of cutting back or eliminating alcohol can be really stressful and I've been there too… The inevitable questions you might face if you don't order alcohol in a friend group or turn down a drink your friend really wants you to try… we've been there. In today's episode, we're going to share 6 strategies that we actually got from Julie Helms, a communication and skills expert. These are awesome strategies for someone like me, an enneagram 9, who doesn't like to be direct and confrontational if I don't have to be. Your choices are your own, and you don't owe anyone an explanation.  And while setting strong verbal boundaries (like “I'm not drinking tonight”) *IS* an option, these non verbal strategies might help you navigate situations with more comfort and grace, while inviting less follow-up questions. From ordering a mocktail with confidence to "I'll start with water, thank you" and never ordering a drink to a drink getting mysteriously "lost", these ways have saved us in those times we were cutting back but didn't want to explain ourselves. Time Stamps: (1:32) Our Incredible Team (3:09) Your Relationship With Alcohol (4:51) Alcohol Can Be Adding Fuel To The Fire (11:22) Drinking in Social Settings (12:42) #1: Order A Mocktail With Confidence (15:45) #2: You Can Have The Drink Poured But Not Drink It (17:20) #3: I'll Start With Water Thanks (19:07) #4: Keep It Simple and Say No Thanks (20:15) #5: The Toasting Trick (22:57) #6: Drink Gets Lost Throughout The Night---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Are you ready to uncover the emotional triggers behind your eating habits and shift from protection mode to safety mode for lasting weight loss?In this episode, I dive into emotional eating patterns, where I break down the automatic behaviors behind binge eating and late-night snacking. I talk about the psychology of cravings and share practical tips to help you regain control over your eating habits by recognizing and addressing emotional triggers. This episode is all about empowering you to overcome diet sabotage caused by unmanaged emotions.It's so important to understand your emotional triggers to break free from those unwanted eating habits. These patterns often come from dysregulated emotions, shaped by life experiences and unconscious beliefs. By identifying these triggers, you can start to unravel those harmful behaviors. I emphasize the role of the nervous system in all of this and how shifting from protection mode to safety mode can help you manage your emotions and work towards your weight loss goals in a sustainable way.Topics Covered:Introduction to Emotional Eating & Patterns Seven Steps to Calm Cravings Step 5: Recognizing Your Triggers Understanding Dysregulated Emotions |Childhood Influences on Emotional Management The Role of the Nervous System |Moving from Protection to Safety Mode Implementing Power Habits Conclusion & Preview of Next StepsIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology.

In episode 276 of Fitness & Sushi, we're exposing one of the sneakiest reasons you still feel stuck — even after “quitting” dieting. It's not your food choices holding you back… it's your thoughts. In this episode — “How to Stop Thinking Like a Dieter (And Start Thinking Like the Ideal Body Formula™)” — you'll learn…

Happy Satiated Saturday! What if diet culture wasn't actually the "problem"? Focusing on diet culture can become a distraction. It keeps the conversation circling around the same point—being controlled around our food choices is the problem, and we need to regain our experience of choice with food. Yet, when all of our attention stays on food, we miss out on exploring the deeper layers of who we are, beyond what we eat. Staying locked in a battle with diet culture can distract us from stepping into our power. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with my dear friend and colleague, Abbie Attwood, Anti-diet Nutritionist, about: Understanding health and nutrition messagingThe complexity of trusting ourselves and scienceChallenging the notion of control over healthDistractions from systemic issues in healthThe impact of socioeconomic factors on food choicesEnhancing your critical thinking skills in nutrition and mediaYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/society-shapes-dieting-behaviors Doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!!

Have you ever felt like if you can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing at all? Whether it's meal tracking, a workout routine, or your body image goals—perfectionism creeps in and convinces us that anything less than a 10/10 just doesn't count. In this powerful conversation, Shaela sits down with Brittany Braswell, RD, to unpack how perfectionism shows up in our health, our habits, and even our spiritual life. Together, they explore how striving keeps us stuck in fear, shame, and all-or-nothing cycles—and how God invites us to walk in peace and freedom instead. Brittany shares how perfectionism can masquerade as control, and how fear often fuels our obsession with getting it “just right.” But as Christian women, we're not called to carry that burden. Instead, we're invited to release the pressure and start living from grace—not guilt. Whether you struggle with obsessiveness around food, pushing yourself to never miss a workout, or falling into apathy when things feel “off track,” this episode will help you find your footing again—with truth, Scripture, and simple next steps. You'll Learn: What perfectionism really looks like in your fitness & food habits How to identify sneaky “rules” that create pressure & guilt Why fear is often the root of performance-driven health How to start choosing progress over pressure in a faith-filled way A practical framework for shifting from control to stewardship

Hey Rebel. Today we are revisiting an old episode of the Diet Culture Rebel Podcast. I'm joined by Erica Leon, a registered dietitian and certified eating disorder specialist with over 30 years of experience helping people heal their relationship with food. She is the founder of Erica Leon Nutrition & Associates, a virtual group practice supporting clients across the U.S. Erica and her team specialize in helping individuals heal their relationship with food and body, with a special focus on women in midlife breaking free from toxic diet culture.  Erica shares her personal and professional insights on aging, body image, and food freedom, including what it's like to support women navigating postpartum, menopause, grief, and chronic stress. We also talk about how diet culture shows up at every life stage and why disordered eating isn't just a “teenage girl” issue. In this episode, we cover: How body image issues evolve through different stages of life Why disordered eating is often overlooked—even by health professionals The impact of lifelong dieting and the power of unlearning it Tips for navigating body changes with more self-compassion and care Whether you're 25, 45, or 65, this episode is a powerful reminder that body changes are a part of life—and they deserve compassion, not criticism. https://www.facebook.com/erica.leon.nutrition/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericaleonnutrition https://www.instagram.com/ericaleonnutrition/ https://twitter.com/ericaleonRDN https://www.pinterest.com/nutrafit1  Additional resources: Free resources: https://ericaleon.com/free-resources/ Online intuitive eating courses available: https://ericaleon.com/shop/ -----

In this live-streamed episode, Stef and Sarah explore the nuanced world of cravings — what drives them, how they differ from binge or overeating urges, and why they're often more complicated than they seem. They discuss the physiological and emotional undercurrents behind cravings, from hormonal shifts to nervous system dysregulation, weaving in personal experiences — including Stef's two most memorable pregnancy cravings. The conversation unpacks how cravings show up differently for restrictors versus permitters, how appetite and craving aren't always the same thing, and what it looks like to approach cravings from a more regulated, self-led mindset. Rather than reducing cravings to something to fix or fear, this episode invites a deeper, more compassionate understanding of them — one that honors both biology and psychology.

In this week's episode, Lauren sits down with Alison Abate Black, a graduate of the DCB coaching program and a Type 1 diabetic of 25 years, for a deeply honest conversation about the fine line between grace and avoidance. Alison opens up about her journey from “winging it” with her diabetes to building real confidence with food—and how food freedom, while empowering at first, eventually started pulling her away from the goals that mattered most. Together, they explore what it means to give yourself too much grace, and how compassion without intention can become a quiet form of self-sabotage. As Alison prepares for pregnancy, she's learning to redefine grace—not as permission to stay stuck, but as conscious, aligned choices that support her vision for long-term health. This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation isn't a clean before-and-after—it's a living, breathing process. If you've ever asked yourself whether the self-love you're practicing is truly serving you, this conversation will meet you right where you are.Quick Takeaways:Finding Balance: Weight, Health, and HappinessNavigating Emotional Eating and Food FreedomHidden Forms of Self-SabotageTimestamps:[03:09] What inspired Lauren to have Alison on: “just because I can dose for it doesn't mean that's what I need all the time.”[04:11] The beginning of Alison's T1D journey [04:39] “I never had a deep sense of control…'[05:26] “I kind of was like a status quo diabetic, but it always felt like I wanted to be more than that.”[09:58] Emotional eating:  “So I would eat and that would make me feel better…”[11:50] What managing eating a challenging meal looks like NOW [16:04] “...

From a childhood steeped in toxic diet culture and years of yo-yo dieting, to finding peace and purpose through a plant-based lifestyle—today's guest, Jan Brown, shares her powerful story of transformation.It all started with a post in the PLANTSTRONG Community Facebook group. Jan wrote:“I grew up with a mom who was always dieting. I ate everything diet and low calorie, and yet I was the biggest kid in my class. My weight kept climbing once I was out of school, and anxiety and depression took over. I was on a vicious cycle of binge eating and starvation. My last known weight was 320 pounds.”That was more than 23 years ago.Today, Jan is a thriving wife and mother who continues to embrace a plant-abundant lifestyle. In this episode, she opens up about the pivotal moments that changed everything—including a simple book and a heartfelt letter to Dr. McDougall—and how those signs led her to a life of strength, health, and freedom.We dive into:Growing up in diet culture and breaking free from itThe emotional toll of weight gain and disordered eatingFinding freedom through whole food, plant-based eatingDealing with criticism and doubt from othersAcceptance of her new body and celebrating accomplishments and finish linesWhat truly fuels Jan's plant-strong life today - hint: it's tattooed on her hand!This is a story of healing, resilience, and what happens when you finally stop dieting—and start nourishing.Episode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTubeSPECIAL Food Promo for Podcast Listeners Only!Use code: podcast10 to receive 10% off food orders at plantstrong.com Upcoming Events:Join us for our 2025 Plantstrong Retreat in Black Mountain, NC - Nov 9-14, 2025: https://plantstrong.com/pages/black-mountain-retreat Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyUse Code: KALE20 for $20 off Annual Subscription at https://home.mealplanner.plantstrong.com/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Leave Us a Voicemail QuestionLeave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/plantstrong Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrongfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotify
