Podcasts about food freedom forever

In this episode of the Food Freedom Life podcast, host Brittany Allison answers an important question: should you avoid certain foods because they're unhealthy? She explores the concept of food neutrality and viewing all foods without labeling them as good or bad. She emphasizes the multifaceted role of food in providing joy, connection, and cultural experiences, beyond mere physical nourishment. Brittany discusses the importance of evaluating your personal health values and the impact of diet culture on your food choices. She also addresses the health concerns around red40, seed oils, red meat, and the balance between nutritional needs and emotional well-being, encouraging listeners to make informed, empowered decisions about their diet while avoiding restrictive mindsets.Join the Empowered Eaters Collective!

One of my favorite books is, "Food Freedom Forever," by Melissa Urban.  This is not a Whole30 book though...it's focused on strategies for your food freedo and you don't have to do a Whole30 in order apply these concepts.  One of my favs that I personally use and teach inside of the HEALTHY HABITS ACCELERATOR POD COURSE is the concept of "worth it" foods.  Just like your own food freedom, worth it foods are personal to you but I'm sharing 4 questions to ask yourself when decided if/when a food is worth it to you (or not) and of course a habit loop! *** HABIT HACKS: -Get the FREE HEALTHY HABIT RESET MASTERCLASS! -Access the secret podcast ATOMIC HABITS FOR WOMEN -Get my most popular tracker from the shop, the ULTIMATE HABIT TRACKER! -Access my signature program, the HEALTHY HABITS ACCELERATOR POD COURSE -Sign up for the next cohort of my group coaching program, THE HEALTHY HABITS MENTORSHIP! -CHECK OUT THE FREEBIE VAULT!: Access habit tools, self care checklist, ingredient meal tips, free workouts and more!    LET'S CONNECT: Connect with Emily: @emilynichols22@habithackshop.co www.emily-nichols.com   

So today might be controversial, but I think I need to address it.  I am no longer a Whole30 Certified Coach, I am no longer offering my course and I'm going to share today why!  I'm also going to share what I think of the Whole30 today and the 5 things the Whole30 has taught me that I still use today in my own food freedom journey. *** HABIT HACKS: -Get the FREE HEALTHY HABIT RESET MASTERCLASS! -Access the secret podcast ATOMIC HABITS FOR WOMEN -Get my most popular tracker from the shop, the ULTIMATE HABIT TRACKER! -Access my signature program, the HEALTHY HABITS ACCELERATOR -CHECK OUT THE FREEBIE VAULT!: Access habit tools, self care checklist, ingredient meal tips, free workouts and more!    LET'S CONNECT: Connect with Emily: @emilynichols22@habithackshop.co www.emily-nichols.com   

How can we unsubscribe to diet culture while still creating healthy habits for ourselves?  Diet Culture has lead us to believe that our value is determined by our size or the number on the scale (it's not!) To unsubscribe from diet culture BS, we first have to realize that women have to do habits differently which means a focus on sustainability, non-scale victories (NSVs), and simple healthy habits (which we teach inside of the HEALTHY HABITS ACCELERATOR) There is a middle ground and Nicole Hagen of the The Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast is going to help us create sustainable healthy habits to help us train for life! ABOUT NICOLE: Nicole Hagen is a Nutrition Coach, Host of The Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast & a New Mom. Driven by her own journey of recovering from a years-long eating disorder & healing her own relationship with food, Nicole has found her calling to help other women unsubscribe from the toxic diet culture, find food freedom & reach sustainable fat loss without deprivation, shame, or guilt. Today, 10+ years later, she has a Master's in Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Public Health alongside countless other degrees, various podcast & media features & a successful business where she has helped hundreds of women leave yo-yo dieting and toxic diet culture behind, so they can live the healthiest & happiest lives! **** HABIT HACKS: -Get the FREE HEALTHY HABIT RESET MASTERCLASS! -Access the secret podcast ATOMIC HABITS FOR WOMEN -Get my most popular tracker from the shop, the ULTIMATE HABIT TRACKER! -Access my signature program, the HEALTHY HABIT ACCELERATOR -CHECK OUT THE FREEBIE VAULT!: Access habit tools, self care checklist, ingredient meal tips, free workouts and more!    LET'S CONNECT: Connect with Emily: @emilynichols22@habithackshop.co www.emily-nichols.com

Today's podcast episode is a recording from day one of the 3-Days to Finding Food Freecom Forever training I hosted in early August 2022.  During this live training, we discussed the importance of getting incredibly clear on the current state of your relationship with food, why it is the way it is, and how it got to this point. We defined what food freedom is (and is not) and discussed the two key aspects of food freedom: freedom “from” and freedom “to.” Below, you'll find a list of the journal prompts and action steps I shared throughout this training.  To get where we're going, we need to understand where we are: If you could describe your current emotional relationship with food in three adjectives or less, which words would you use and why? What is your relationship to food like? Describe it like you would a relationship with an actual person. When did you first notice your relationship with food take a negative turn? Be specific and describe it in as much detail as possible. Describe a situation in which food anxiety is at its highest. Be specific. How is your current relationship with food affecting other areas of your life, such as your romantic and social relationships, self-esteem, career, familial relationships, etc.? Where do you want to go / how do you wish to feel? If you could describe your dream emotional relationship with food in three adjectives or less, which words would you use and why? Think back to the anxiety-provoking situation you described previously…in your dream scenario, how do you feel and navigate such a situation? How do you want your relationship with food to affect other areas of your life?

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and she was asking me all sorts of questions about the phrase Food Freedom that I use frequently.  She said she thinks she understands what it means, but she can't even fathom how she could ever get to that point of feeling food freedom.  And because it felt like such an unrealistic possibility for her, she couldn't imagine her life with it and the impact it could have on her life.  So that's what we will discuss today.

After 15 years of working with women working toward healthier lifestyles, Emily and Health Coach Jane Daniel have discovered the root of the problem with lasting results and habits.  Today we dive deep into why women are chained to food and how to find freedom forever. Spoiler Alert:  It's not another meal plan or program.

(Yikes, was that some click bait or what?) Here we go again talking about Katie’s body. This time she lost 90 pounds with her fourth child. Topics include: paleo, keto, strength training, her wrist injury, how she healed it, anti-inflamation, calories-in calories-out myth. Also: Katie is not a doctor. Please consult a doctor. She’s just a mom of four with a microphone and 90 fewer pounds on her body. Oh, and 90% more energy. Also she likes herself. She liked herself before she lost the weight and still likes herself now. Body positive. Go bodies. (Phew. Got those disclaimers in.

Have you ever shame spiraled after a "cheat day" or eating a piece of food that's not on an approved list? Shouldn't creating healthy eating patterns really be all about self-care and self-love? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST How can we take all of the obstacles we face each day and really use them to help us make empowered decisions for ourselves? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, lifestyle coach, sports nutritionist, founder of Sexyfit, and author of The Sexyfit Method, Zlata Sushchik, teaches us how we can deeply connect with our bodies, create a fresh start with our health, and gain our own confidence and powerful mindset. In this interview, Zlata uncovers how we can avoid being a "diet robot" that's compelled to always keep up with the rules, regulations, and latest "trends" around food and fitness. As you'll learn, no single diet or exercise plan made for every person, because we get to discover what makes us feel good about ourselves by trusting and honoring the process. Listen to Episode 108 as Zlata Sushchik Uncovers How Zlata's mother and her Russian roots in Moscow have influenced her career in the health and wellness industry. Zlata's story from moving from Russia to the USA (Alaska), getting her start in the fitness industry with bodybuilding, and her relationship with food. Why Zlata created Sexyfit to help her and other women create a healthy relationship with food and love themselves. How our health problems can actually be a blessing that leads us to live healthier lives. Zlata's experience starting out as a wellness coach and helping coach her best friend shed 70 pounds. What it means to be Sexyfit. Zlata's 5 Key Steps in the Sexyfit Method: Train Your Mind Food Freedom Simple Fitness Accountability Power of Community How trend hopping around diets eventually leads us to stop doing them and discover food freedom. How the Sexyfit Method differs from the Whole 30 and other nutrition methods. What was Zlata's Mirror Work moment and how it helped her analyze her relationship with food. What are the emotional triggers that attract us to food? How you can create a new dialogue with your body and stop self-sabotaging it. What both Zlata and Josh have done to help them change their state of mind about their bodies. Zlata's view point on weight lifting vs. simple exercise. Why exercising should be about honoring your body. How we're responsible for our own happiness and self-love. What can sabotage a busy mom's own health and wellness plan. Why selfishness is not a bad thing: We have to take care of ourselves before we can take care of other people. What's eating most people today and what affects us on a day to day basis. Why it's so important, but scary for people to take a closer look at their emotional inventory and come to terms with it. Top 3 Takeaways From The Show You don't have to be a "diet robot" that follows all of these different fitness and nutrition rules and regulations. Healthy is something you create for yourself. Discover and enjoy whatever keeps you motivated to stay on track with your wellness. Don't see your poor health as something to be ashamed of. Instead, see it as a blessing that you're recognizing that you want to take control of your health and wellness. We all have to start somewhere. Each day, you have the opportunity to wake up and honor your body. Do the exercises that you want to do whether it's cardio, HIIT, or LISS. Sometimes, some workouts like CrossFit won't bring us the same joy that other ones can provide for us. Just because your favorite workout isn't hardcore like CrossFit, it doesn't make it any less beneficial for your mind or body. Power Quotes From Zlata Sushchik [tweetthis] "Words shape our present and future. We don't need more restrictions. If there is anything that we do need, it's freedom." [/tweetthis] "We must understand that all of the different parts of the body are connected. If you're constantly fatigued, your body is giving you a sign that you need to pay attention to it. All your body really wants is just attention." - Zlata Sushchik on the power of listening to our bodies.  "It is possible to live in peace. It is possible and available at any time. To achieve it, we need to pay attention to how external chaos influences us internally and how we pick up on energies and mirror those reflections." - Zlata Sushchik on paying attention to ourselves.   "There's no one definition of 'sexy' just like there's no one definition of 'success' because that's something that we truly cultivate for ourselves as women and that's truly where we shine in being different in our own way. Our bodies are different, our lifestyles are different, and we must honor that in order to feel at home in our body and with who we are rather they buy into the ideas of what we're supposed to look like." - Zlata Sushchik on what 'sexy' means. "Sexyfit is about understanding who you are, how you feel, and doing things your own way." -Zlata Sushchik on what Sexyfit is all about.  "Words shape our present moment and shape our future. We don't need more restrictions in our diet. If there is anything that we do need, it's freedom. Freedom doesn't come from restriction. Freedom comes from empowerment and making choices based on what's true for us." - Zlata Sushchik on how we should be empowered to make the choices we want to make about food and not restrict ourselves.  "There's this idea that every workout has to be intense and insane, but half of my workouts are a mix between walking and meditation. I believe that simple fitness is really the best way to connect with our bodies and to connect with our movement. Fitness is not therapy. Use fitness as a way to honor your body and movement. Don't torture yourself with crazy workouts that don't feel good to you." - Zlata Sushchik on why we don't need to do intense workouts like CrossFit.  "The true wealth is our health. It's really important for us to honor the relationship we have with ourselves when it comes to trust, communication, respect, kindness, and compassion. Just like everything else in life, it takes work. It's not something that's just given to us and it's not something that's so simple unless we have the right tools." - Zlata Sushchik on the importance of honoring our minds and bodies.  About Zlata Sushchik Zlata Sushchik is a lifestyle coach, sports nutritionist and founder of an online fitness coaching company called Sexyfit.

There continues to be a stigma and unclear understandings about eat disorders and mental illness. Fortunately, more people are coming forward to discuss why it's so important that we try to understand and help those who are struggling each day.  One of these leaders is 18 year-old University of California, Santa Cruz student and Yoga Teacher, Maris Degener. Maris began her wellness journey as she was recovering from her eating disorder at a hospital. She was given the tools and assistance that she needed to help her body recover from her disorder, but she realized that the medical center didn't provide what she needed to help her mind heal.  Even though she's now a freshman in college, get ready to hear a great deal of insight from Maris on how we can discover self purpose, uncover happiness, and help change the stigma surrounding eating disorders and mental illness.   "They might not be able to understand that what's going through a person's mind doesn't represent the person, but the mental illness." - Maris Degener on why it's important to separate the person from their disorder.   Ending Myths about Mental Illness "Mental illness as a whole is so difficult to treat because it's so unique to the individual. We're still not 100% certain about how exactly mental illness manifests in people." -  Maris Degener   There are lot a of myths surrounding mental illness and we're still not quite sure what could be the cause of it. For some people it might be genetics or trauma or other life situations they experienced that create enough of an impact to affect their well-being.  There's a false belief that eating disorders come from a place of vanity. However, the root cause is so much deeper than that. Eating disorders and mental illness can come from a person working through their personal life issues. It might be their way to cope with trauma, feeling lost, or as a means to stay grounded when they feel out of control.   Recognize the Signs of an Eating Disorder Here are some different ways to recognize the signs of an eating disorder. The person is _____: not finding joy in food. finding it stressful to eat or be around food. suddenly displaying stress during social situations where food is involved. weighing and measuring what they are eating. eating different foods that they didn't eat before.   Shred Other People's Expectations  "Find whatever lights you up when other people are telling you that you should be doing something different with your life." - Maris Degener Maris made a really great point about the predicted expectations that society has about life and happiness. We can go through these scenarios at different points throughout life, but the pressure can be at its strongest when we have all of this pressure to join extracurricular activities in order to get into college.   Leave The Predicted Life Path When we face so many expectations that other people have about OUR life, we can feel numb and shut out our emotions. When we create our expectations and a life for ourselves, we find happiness. So go on and shred every idea that you had before about what it means to be a happy and successful person. Discover what you want out of this life and create your own path for yourself. Shred the expectations that other people have for you life and start to feel YOUR emotions.  For Maris, she was a talented swimmer, but she didn't enjoy the sport or the competition. After recovering from her eating disorder, she began a new journey in which she was more open and honest with herself about what what she loves and what makes her happy.  At first, it was an uncomfortable feeling, but before she knew it, she felt free to follow her passion for yoga.   "I was torn because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do things because I was passionate about them or was I supposed to do things because it was the right thing to do. So I was struggling with the traditional lack of identity, but I was also playing with this idea of what it meant to be authentic." - Maris Degener on trying to find her purpose during high school   About Maris Degener Maris is an 18 year old certified yoga teacher specializing in the healing and restorative power of Vinyasa Flow. With a past of overcoming eating disorders and mental illness, Maris is a recovering pessimist and perfectionist who is now fearlessly authentic. At the age of 13 she was diagnosed with a life-threatening eating disorder that led her on a journey to regain her mental and physical health. She now seeks to spread the healing powers of yoga, whole foods, and mindful living through her blog and teaching practice. She has been featured by CNN health and across the media being spotlighted for her fearless authenticity and raising awareness of eating disorders and mental health.   Resources Mentioned On the Show   Maris Degener's official website Maris' interviews with other exceptional women on Everyday Goddess Check out the 2017 documentary featuring Maris, I Am Maris Watch the I Am Maris trailer Read the CNN article with Maris: Teen Overcomes Anorexia Through Yoga Learn about taking a yoga class at Just Be Yoga | Walnut Creek, California Listen to WFR episode 071 - Food Freedom Forever with Melissa Hartwig Listen to WFR episode 085- Lisa Perkins: You Are Not One Size Fits All Furious Pete's Body Transformation & Recovery from Anorexia Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson Learn more about Michael Pollan and his Netflix series, Cooked Read about Research on Males and Eating Disorders Learn more about Amy Kubal What You'll Hear On The Show 1:50  Josh discusses today's show topics 4:00  Josh introduces Maris 4:30  Maris' story of receiving an email from an 80 year old man interested in yoga. 5:40 What is a common myth about eating disorders that isn't true? 7:00  The start of Maris' eating disorder with anxiety. 10:00 Discovering who we are and what our destination is meant to be. 11:40  What was your inspiration to be so self reflective? 12:20  What was missing for you after you left the hospital?

"This is not like any other nutrition program you've ever stumbled across. You have to think about it differently in terms of it being just one part of a lifelong cycle." - Melissa Hartwig   Pushing Your Reset Button With Your Health, Habits, & Relationship With Food On this week's podcast, you’ll learn from an exceptional woman who has dedicated her life to driving real transformations in physical and emotional wellness. In this hour, together we’ll discover the connections between your emotions and healthy habits to live your best life and enjoy the process. Sparking real, sustainable transformation and creating food freedom begins when we do the emotional inventory with ourselves. This can be a tricky process when starting out, especially when taking the honest look at how we're showing up in our relationship with food is the only way through. But there's science behind why we get stuck, and how we can change. It happens when we're hungry and open to the right answers.  As Melissa writes in her first book, It Starts With Food:   "Ancient signals in a modern world: Food scientists have engineered chemicals in processed foods that light up the reward centers in the brain for a different reason than nature intended- not because they provide vital nutrition, but because they are scientifically designed to stimulate our tastes buds."    About Melissa Hartwig Melissa Hartwig is a Certified Sports Nutritionist who specializes in helping people change their relationship with food and create life-long, healthy habits. She is the co-creator of the original Whole30 program, the New York Times bestselling author of The Whole30 and It Starts With Food. Melissa has been featured by Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, the Wall Street Journal, Details, Shape, Outside, and SELF. Melissa has also presented more than 150 health and nutrition seminars worldwide, and provides support to more than 1.5 million people a month through the Whole30 website.   "We're often told that it's selfish to take care of yourself first, but I look at it as an act of radical self love. I set boundaries in my life so that I am healthy, happy and so that I flourish in my life and I have more to give to everyone else." - Melissa Hartwig   Melissa's New Book: Food Freedom Forever Letting Go of Bad Habits, Guilt, and Anxiety Around Food End the yo-yo dieting cycle… forever. Welcome to the Food Freedom plan. Millions of people have successfully completed the groundbreaking Whole30 program and radically transformed their energy, sleep, cravings, waistline, and health. Now, Food Freedom Forever offers real solutions for anyone stuck in the exhausting cycle of yo-yo dieting and the resulting stress, weight gain, uncontrollable cravings, and health complaints. In her newest book, best-selling author Melissa Hartwig defines true “food freedom” as being in control of the food you eat, instead of food controlling you.   Food Freedom Forever gives you everything you need for achieving dietary success, for today and for the rest of your healthy life. Melissa Hartwig’s information is spot on in terms of its scientific validity, and wonderfully approachable in terms of its implementation. — DAVID PERLMUTTER, MD, Author, #1 New York Times Bestseller, Grain Brain   Resources Mentioned In This Episode The Whole30 Book - New York times Best-seller It Starts With Food - New York times Best-seller Melissa's New Book - Food Freedom Forever Melissa & Dallas Hartwig on ABC's Nightline Melissa & Dallas Hartwig on Dr. Oz The Whole30 Website The Whole9 Website Melissa's Author Page on Facebook Whole30 on Facebook Win a FREE copy of "The Whole30 & "It Starts With Food" Enter to win by posting a picture of your favorite whole30 meal on Instagram and tag @wellnessforce #whole30  Practical Spirituality With Adam Farrah Byron Katie's Work - Inspired Melissa in her life "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie What You'll Hear On The Show 2:00 About Melissa Hartwig 4:45 Melissa shares a few things we don"t know about her 7:45 Melissa's road to creating the Whole30 and her tipping point 9:00 Why Melissa used joy instead of struggle to launch Whole30 and it Starts With Food 10:50 The difference between west coasters vs. east coasters and their relationships with food 12:00 Melissa unpacks what the Whole3o is, how it resets the body, and who it's for 14:30 A life changing story of an older man who transformed his relationship with food by doing Whole30 17:50 Your brain on food: Melissa explains her favorite chapter of "It Starts With Food" 21:15 Melissa explains the difference between satiety and satiation 24:30 Foods with "no brakes" and gateway foods 25:29 The healing power of grass fed hydrolyzed collagen 28:30 The psychology of change model and how to change 30:16 Dealing with anxiety on the Whole30 and in your life 33:30 Melissa discusses shame spirals and her new book Food Freedom Forever 36:07 How to feel like you're enough and worthy of being healthy, lean, athletic and fully present 40:16 Melissa and Josh discuss wearables and using trackers for obligers and upholders 41:20 Why Josh started and hosts Wellness Force Radio 45:51 Being authentic, intuitively vulnerable, and empowering on social media with the Whole30 46:46 7 for 7 round: Josh asks Melissa 7 fast questions 55:13 Win a copy of It Starts With Food and Whole30   Rate & Review Wellness Force Aloha!
