Podcasts about food issues

The main topic of the episode addresses the recent cultural emphasis on thinness and the use of weight loss drugs like GLP-1 medications. Stef and Sarah explore the societal pressure for thinness, the resurgence of weight loss as a value, and how it impacts people on a personal level, particularly those in recovery from eating disorders. They delve into their own experiences and observations about how the culture of weight loss drugs affects our body image. Stef discusses the guilt and pressure experienced by both those who choose to take or avoid these medications and shares personal reasons for choosing not to use them. Sarah shares experiences of interactions with friends who have undergone significant weight changes and the emotional complexities involved. They talk about emotions like jealousy, frustration, and FOMO. The conversation also touches on the ethics and responsibilities of influencers regarding transparency about weight loss, especially when it involves medications like GLP-1. Both hosts express a sense of hope despite the current cultural climate, acknowledging the pendulum swing in societal values and emphasizing patience and trust in an eventual rebalancing towards body diversity and acceptance.

Welcome, everyone. I'm excited to have you back here this week because I want to talk to you about something truly life-changing. I call it the mirror effect. It has to do with diet culture telling us to fix our eating and fix our bodies when really those are not the issues. There's nothing wrong with our bodies. I want to make the point that true freedom is releasing ourselves from the belief that we have to change our bodies to change our lives. If food isn't the problem, maybe the way we eat is actually a mirror for how we relate to ourselves. So join me as I explore that.     When diet culture drills into us the idea that we have to think about food in isolation, it makes food just food, just fuel, just calories in and calories out, we then believe that anything we do in regards to overeating or emotional eating or cravings is a problem to be solved. But what if we got curious instead and asked what our eating is reflecting back to us? If I focus just on the fact that I binge at night because I'm starving, I'll miss the point that I'm not structuring my days in a way that allows for self-care and meeting my needs. We need to start asking what we truly need right now, rather than vilifying food or eating. How do we do that? What steps do we take to begin to understand the mirror effect? How do we gain a deeper understanding of why we're eating? Those are the questions I ask and hopefully address for you in this episode.__About Dr. Michelle Tubman:Dr. Michelle Tubman is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means she understands exactly what's happening in your body when you diet.

In this live episode, hosts Sarah and Stef explain the concepts of "All-In Recovery" versus "All or Nothing Thinking," particularly in the context of the nondiet approach to overeating and restriction cycles.  Stef explains that "All-In Recovery" involves abandoning restrictive eating behaviors entirely, which actually IS a quite all-or-nothing experience. She also explains how it worked to find enough inner quiet to actually find intuitive eating authentically. Throughout the episode, they highlight the distinctions between intentional eating without shame and unchecked binge eating, stressing the importance of presence and self-compassion in recovery. The hosts also address audience questions about how to identify if All-In Recovery is right for someone and the interplay between allowing binges and maintaining a helpful mindset. Overall, the episode provides valuable insights into the nuanced differences between these approaches, offering practical advice for individuals navigating their own recovery journeys.

"I have the approach to exercise and diet and lifestyle of just ease yourself into it and find something that works with your life, instead of something you have to force into your life. I wish that the fitness industry would change from being what sells to what's actually healthy and safe for people."I'm thrilled to bring you this enlightening conversation with fitness instructor and coach Molly McNamee.Molly's path to becoming a fitness coach started with her love for gymnastics and dance. But things took a hard turn when she hit rock bottom - dealing with major burnout, yo-yo weight issues, and anxiety that got so bad she was having regular panic attacks. It was this tough time that sparked a total shift in how she saw fitness and health, leading her to create a whole new approach that's all about balancing your nervous system and tailoring workouts to actually heal your body. We explore how shorter, more intentional workouts can lead to better results and improved overall well-being. Molly challenges conventional fitness industry norms, advocating for a gentler, more sustainable approach to exercise that aligns with your body's needs and stress levels. She offers valuable insights on breaking free from extreme fitness mindsets and creating a balanced, healthy relationship with exercise and body image.Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or someone struggling to maintain a consistent routine, this episode provides practical tips and a fresh perspective on how to exercise for healing, stress reduction, and long-term health.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(01:40) In Today's Episode...Molly Mcnamee: Fitness Instructor and Coach  (02:00) From Burnout to a New Approach  (03:13) The Mothership Membership and Special Classes  (04:36) The Turning Point Mastermind  (06:56) Why Molly Became a Fitness Coach(09:54) The Impact of Stress and Anxiety on Fitness(15:26) Workouts Around Feeling Good and Confident(18:29) Molly's Fitness Approach(22:52) The Emotional Component of Holding Weight(24:25) The Role of Personalized Fitness Programs and Nutrition(28:09) The Pitfalls of Tracking and Obsession(30:55) Exercise and Nervous System Regulation(34:34) Healing from Body and Food Issues(40:44) The Role of Social Media in Fitness(44:50) Challenges in the Fitness Industry(52:55) Finding Joy in MovementCONTACT MOLLYFollow Molly on IG mfit.workoutsGet your FREEBIE here**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**Leave a review, send us a screenshot and get a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.The Mothership  gives you full premium access to my entire body of work.

Today I want to talk through the spiritual and emotional issues that drive many food issues and eating disorders. I want to get to what drives these struggles and how we can practically walk in new directions. It seems that if you take a moment to look around, there are so many who are struggling […]

So, how long did it *REALLY* take me to lose 55 lbs? Especially as someone with past binge eating issues & lacking any self-control. After losing 28 lbs, I hit a weight loss plateau! I'm sharing how I overcame it & lost another 27 lbs after! (PS. I can't mention the word binge eating anymore, so please keep in mind that any extreme overeating behavior I mention relates to this.)

If we're not dieting, won't we just be completely out of control with food? That's the risk when we feel like we can't trust ourselves. In this episode, we talk about what self-trust is -- including how we thought about it before recovery and how we think about it now. And maybe most importantly, how we developed more of it! This episode was livestreamed to our private community so we also answer some listener questions about personal experiences with self-trust.  We discuss: trusting yourself not to binge self-alliance and self-abandonment the role of self-sabotage being mad that versus being mad at what needs to be in place before we keep promises to ourselves? the stories we tell ourselves Join our growing support community.

This podcast should encourage you to be prepared.

The world talks a lot about self-care, but many people in this community feel selfish taking care of themselves. It can be seen as indulgent to take the time to tend to our own needs, especially as mothers -- check out the second half of the podcast where Stef addresses this from her perspective as a parent (her take might surprise you). So what's the difference between self care and self indulgence? Speaking of indulgence, we also look at the way we talk about food under this lens. Are the connotations of this word inherently problematic? Are we just gluttons or is there a case for the healthy pursuit of food as pleasure, or even as self-care? Tune in...

How can we age well? Internet searches tell us that aging well is about wearing sunscreen, avoiding smoking, drinking less, eating right, and exercising more. But, the focus on aging seems to be all about our bodies, but what about our souls? Can having a more eternal perspective allow us to face the reality of aging and to get real about the ways our bodies are failing while remembering and feeling energized by the real purpose and why we were put on this earth? Today, Heather looks at the importance of community and friendships to aging well. She also talks about the hopefulness and joy that can come from keeping in mind that we are eternal beings. She talks about how God's faithfulness to us through the years we've already lived can remind us that He will be faithful to be with us as we age, even if we face physical or mental struggles. She also talks about how remembering that you are a "Forever Person" can help you keep your focus on what's really important without getting too fixated on what's happening to your body in the aging process.

Rebecca shared her personal journey of overcoming orthorexia and how early childhood trauma can manifest in issues around food. We delved into the complexities of adoption trauma and its impact on food relationships, highlighting the importance of understanding the connection between food and emotional well-being. Rebecca emphasized the need for adoptees to feel connected to their bodies and prioritize self-care, especially when dealing with stress and anxiety. She discussed the concept of "safe foods" for children with trauma histories and the importance of creating a structured and consistent meal environment to promote a sense of safety and security. As an adoptive parent, Rebecca provided valuable insights on supporting adopted children with food issues, emphasizing the significance of co-regulation and offering familiar, comforting foods to build trust and stability. She also introduced the concept of "body doubling" as a supportive technique for individuals struggling with nutrition and mental health challenges. Throughout the episode, Rebecca highlighted the importance of seeking professional help from registered dietitians with expertise in mental health and eating disorders. She shared practical advice for adoptive parents and individuals struggling with food-related issues, emphasizing the need for patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to explore and experiment with different approaches to nutrition and well-being. The episode concluded with a reminder to join the upcoming town hall meeting on March 10th to address the serious issue of murders of adopted children by adoptive parents and brainstorm ways to create safer environments for adopted children in our communities.

In this first-ever episode of Compared to Who? to be recorded with a LIVE audience, Heather and her guest, Amy Carlson, RD and eating disorder expert dive into the pressure to conform to all the diet-related pressures of January. Heather and Amy candidly discuss the intertwining of diet culture and the church, shedding light on how confusing it can be when the messages of culture around us start coming at us from our own congregations. Inspired by Creekmore's new book, "the 40-day Body Image Workbook," the conversation delves into making peace with one's body and feeling God's love, offering biblical encouragement and real talk about body image. Amy and Heather address the intertwining of diet culture and church culture, exploring how it can create shame and pressure regarding food and body image. They also discuss the concept of self-control in the church context and the dangers of using religious language to promote dieting and body image ideals. The episode highlights the need for genuine support, love, and deeper understanding within the Christian community as they navigate these complex issues.

Catastrophizing things like what we've eaten or how much weight we've gained (for example) can often led to despair or fear-based decision-making. In this conversation, we explore what catastrophization is, why we do it, and strategies to deal with it. We also discuss: Feelings of catastrophization post binge "Meta-eating" as a version of catastrophizing (meta-eating is Stef's terminology for eating more because you're upset that you're eating) What's the problem with catastrophizing, ultimately? What are we supposed to DO when we feel this way? What can help? The role of doubt Reality testing -- is is smart to compare our fears to realities, especially when it comes to body image? Is it easier to catastrophize than to feel things?

Aside from body image, health seems to be one of the biggest concerns about gaining weight. Because weight gain is common for many people recovering from eating disorders, health is a big sticking point making recovery harder and more complicated. In this episode, we're looking at the relationship between weight and health, to include: Stef explains why she can't look at her bloodwork results as the episode records Separating the impact of binge eating (and restriction!!) on health versus weight Defining "health at every size" Does health decrease when BMI increases? An anecdote. Why isn't the desire for better health enough to get us to stop eating in a disordered way? The relationship between health and our self-esteem The rebel response -- what's that got to do with health? Mental health as a gateway to physical health The power of lowering expectations Why don't we want to take care of ourselves when we're feeling low? Why wouldn't we want to help ourselves? The concept of self-sabotage.

In this episode, Michelle discusses her struggles with body image and food, reflecting on the shame and pressure she felt for over 40 years. Michelle and Heather highlight the importance of addressing body image work before focusing on food changes.

No experts perse, in the driver's seat for this conversation... just a couple of humans who have indulged (pardon the pun) in a whole lot of conversations around food and eating over the years. Given that we both have backgrounds in fitness & sport (and eating firsthand, would you believe it), we thought we'd dive into a freestyle banter about how humans function (or perhaps so often struggle to) around food. We discuss everything from eating disorders to disordered eating and how we (me, you, us) navigate the psychological, sociological, emotional and physiological aspects of our often-complex relationships with food.    TESTART FAMILY LAWYERS Website: www.testartfamilylawyers.com.au  CRAIG HARPER Website: www.craigharper.net  TIFFANEE COOK Linktree:  https://linktr.ee/rollwiththepunches/ Website: www.rollwiththepunches.com.au LinkedIn:  www.linkedin.com/in/tiffaneecook/ Facebook:  www.facebook.com/rollwiththepunchespodcast/ Instagram:  www.instagram.com/rollwiththepunches_podcast/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/tiffaneeandco  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you want to eat intuitively but find yourself only wanting "junk food"? This is a common thing to hear from people trying healing their relationship with food. A caveat to this conversation -- depending on where you are in this process, the approach to this conflict will be different. For example, wanting fun foods (and ONLY fun foods) at the beginning of recovery can be a really normal part of the healing process. This conversation also considers the more chronic, ongoing experience of wanting only fun foods all the time. We discuss: Why are we putting “junk food” in quotation marks/inverted commas? How is “junk food” defined? Junk food begets junk food? Will our bodies naturally crave salads (etc) after a while?  What if we don't like fruits or vegetables? What if there are certain foods that we are simply not able to habituate? Is abstinence from certain foods a good idea? What are your beliefs about these foods in general, or specific types of these foods? How can meal prep help here?
