This episode is all about romantic relationships and toxic patterns that you might be caught in. People with eating disorders are often super-empaths and can be vulnerable to some these dynamics.

An IPSOS study from late 2020 found that 45% of people across the world were trying to lose weight at the time. In many cases, losing weight is beneficial for health, but a lot of the time, people want to achieve unrealistic body images which are projected by the media as being ideal. Of course, a popular way of doing so is by dieting, but the subject of today's episode is pretty much the opposite of a traditional diet. Advocates of intuitive eating say that not only are diets not necessarily effective, but they also promote a complex and sometimes unhealthy relationship with food. Where does the term come from? Isn't it normal to eat when hungry? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What does eating junk food do to our brains?

Shana Spence, a registered dietitian (who you might know as @thenutritiontea on social media), joins the pod to bust myths about processed foods and to discuss how family, culture, privilege, and societal influences shape our relationship with food.This is a rerun – we recorded this conversation over a year ago, and misinformation about food and ingredients has only intensified. This episode feels important to share again right now, especially in light of recent reductions in food assistance programs.Shana shares how her initial career path and disordered eating fueled her decision to become a dietitian, and reflects on how dietetics education perpetuates diet culture, focusing on BMI and stereotypes. She talks about her perspective shift over time, the process of moving toward an anti-diet and weight-inclusive approach, and why the social determinants of health matter more than individual food choices.Tune in to hear more about…The pressure of food restriction as a badge of honorPrivilege affecting food choicesThe misleading fears about processed foodsThe oversimplification of food into good vs. bad categories. How family and cultural background impact dietingExternal societal pressures on our relationship with foodDiet culture and healthismDietitian education's role in perpetuating diet cultureStereotyping in healthcareShana's perspective shift on nutrition and dietingRestriction as a form of validationBlack-and-white thinking in nutritionWhy we don't need to "fix" people's eating habitsShana Spence is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist based in New York, who considers herself an “eat anything” dietitian, and counsels on a HAES (Healthy At Every Size) and an Intuitive Eating approach.

We all want the dream body, but almost none of us want to slow down long enough to build the base it actually requires. In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most important lessons I've learned as both a coach and a client: you can't build a strong, sustainable body without a strong foundation.  I use the analogy of building a dream home because just like a house needs a solid foundation before the walls go up, your body needs metabolic stability and healthy habits before you layer on intense training or dieting.  Most of us try to skip this part because we're in a hurry to see results.  I get it. I used to be the impatient one who wanted the plan, the strategy, and the visible progress right away. But rushing your transformation is the fastest way to end up starting over again and again.  In this episode, I break down what the “foundation phase” actually looks like, including how we assess metabolism using SHREDS and why stabilizing sleep, hunger cues, digestion, energy, stress, and recovery is non-negotiable.  I share why this phase can feel slow and why that slow work is what makes everything that comes after actually stick. I also walk through the three phases of a healthy nutrition journey and how to know which phase you're truly ready for.  This is about building a body that can handle real life. Vacations, busy seasons, holidays, stress, and everything in between. When your foundation is strong, you don't fall apart when your routine changes. You adapt and you bounce back.  If you've been feeling frustrated with slow progress, this episode may be the reframe you needed. Take a breath — you might just be pouring the concrete.  Time Stamps: (2:57) Next Stage of Homeownership (4:34) Building The Foundation (7:27) When I First Started My Fitness Journey (12:42) The Metabolic Assessment (19:42) Building The Walls Next (20:27) Vital Spark's 3 Phases (28:02) Please Share and Review---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark 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?

Send us a textWe had the pleasure of chatting with Dr Rachel Evans for this episode - and we absolutely loved her multi-faceted approach to eating disorder recovery. Rachel draws on her own lived experience with Bulimia, and uses lots of different therapeutic modalities in her client sessions so that each session is tailored exactly to the individual client. Rachel kindly shared her own story with us, and we are sure it will resonate with many people, because it highlights that there often isn't a distinct moment in time when our relationship with food goes off the rails and an eating disorder develops, but that it can happen very gradual, and under the disguise of 'healthy eating' habits.We talked about how we can get back out of those destructive and disordered habits, how recognising triggers is vital, and how hypnotherapy can be super helpful for some clients in understanding where the foundations to their eating disorder were laid.If you want to learn more about Rachel's work, you can check out her website or find her on Instagram @rachel.evans.phdHer podcast 'Just Eat Normally' has over 60 episodes of conversations about eating disorder recovery with some great guests! BIO: Dr. Rachel Evans is a chartered psychologist, hypnotherapist and mum of 2. She combines her lived experience of bulimia recovery with professional expertise and training to support one-to-one clients who feel obsessed with food, hate their body, and use increasingly extreme methods to try and control it, from making themselves throw-up, to misusing laxatives or weight-loss drugs and compulsive exercise. At the heart of her practice is a compassionate, individualised, and trauma-informed, multi-disciplinary approach, focusing on the person rather than a label Please reach out if you would like some support with your relationship to food OR movement.

We are pregnant!  In today's special episode, we want to dive into our fertility story, how we planned for this season, and what shifted in our hearts and lives leading up to trying.  I open up about her early fears around motherhood, how family jokes once shaped her identity, and the moment she knew Omar would be an incredible father. We talk about praying for guidance, timing, and acceptance — and how those prayers brought a deep sense of peace. We also want to share the unexpected way this journey began: a planned fast interrupted by getting sick, a wedding we stayed home from, and Vanessa's Oura Ring signaling that something was different. You'll hear the story of the very earlypregnancy test, how she surprised Omar at the airport, and his reaction when we took another test at home just to be sure. From the beginning, we made the intentional choice to tell our community and loved ones right away, so we could walk through this experience with the people we care about, not in secrecy or fear.  I want to talk through the supplements I'm taking, the changes in my energy, and what nutrition and movement look like right now — including six smaller meals, simple foods, ginger and peppermint tea, and keeping 10k steps and workouts while paying close attention to my body's signals.  And yes… the Mexican flavor cravings are very real. We're honored to share this part of our story with you. If pregnancy, family planning, or listening to others' journeys has ever brought up emotions for you — we see you, and this episode is shared with so much love and compassion. Time Stamps: (1:19) We Are Expecting!(3:47) Some Beginning Context(6:32) Health Issues In May(7:44) My Faith and Motherhood(15:36) Vanessa's Health Tracking(16:42) The Fertility Journey(26:14) The First Pregnancy Test(32:32) Prenatal Supplements(36:22) Current Nutrition Protocol(41:20) Craving Mexican Flavors---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark 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?

The pursuit of thinness and body perfection is raging as strongly as ever. With popular podcasts, YouTube, and TikTok influencers delivering extreme food regimes daily; countless people using the skinny jab; AI making online beauty standards even more unachievable; it's no wonder that the average human spends many minutes of each day obsessing over food choices and body proportions. You may not have a full-blown eating disorder fitting neatly into a diagnostic box. But, if you are experiencing high levels of body distress and intense preoccupation around food, then this needs to be taken seriously, as it will be impacting your mood, body image and life. This podcast explores 20 disordered eating behaviours that have become normalised in 2025 daily living. I hope that you find it helpful.

Today we welcome Ellen Lunay, the founder of Here: A Pop-Up Shop in Annapolis, whose life took a dramatic turn when a routine mammogram in August 2022 revealed breast cancer. At 54, at the same moment she'd just dropped her oldest daughter off at college and was prepping for her fall pop-up shop, Ellen found herself walking through surgery, radiation, business care and motherhood all at once.  In this episode, El opens up about what carried her through: the power of community over competition, learning how to ask for help, embracing grace and boundaries, and why sharing your story matters. If you're navigating a health challenge, a business hurdle, or wondering how to build meaningful connections in your life, you'll want to hear this. In this episode: How Ellen discovered the diagnosis and how she responded immediately. Why the community she built through her business became one of her greatest supports. The difference between being the giver and being willing to receive help. How naming your story actually helps calm your nervous system and guide decisions. Why rest, grace and boundaries are essential — especially when you're used to “hustle.” What's changed for Ellen for the better since her diagnosis — how she now shows up differently in business, in motherhood, in life. Words of encouragement for anyone facing big change or a health scare: how to breathe, how to advocate, how to accept help. This episode was brought to you by Leading Lady Coaching.

Ever feel like you “blew” your diet after a weekend of pizza, dessert, or a few too many drinks?  You're not alone and you're definitely not broken.  In this episode, we're unpacking the truth about “messing up” your diet and why those moments don't actually undo your progress.

Intuitive eating has become all the rage, it seems. And while great in principle, I argue that intuitive eating - especially in recovery from an eating disorder and thereafter - has some shortcomings. In this week's episode, I talk about how and why I myself don't always eat intuitively, and why it is so important to sometimes eat restoratively and functionally.

Let's get real about boredom, especially when you're taking a break from alcohol.In this week's episode, I'm unpacking why “I'm bored” can feel shamey, why stillness can spike dread for trauma survivors and neurodivergent brains, and how comparison pours petrol on the fire. We talk Peter Levine, Internal Family Systems, Kristin Neff, Tara Brach, and Brene Brown, but keep it super practical for real life. If “busy” has been your personality, this one's a deep exhale and a warm reminder that you're not broken; you're human. What we cover: The sneaky origins of boredom shame from childhood and why it sticks. Boredom ≠ lack of stimulation for trauma survivors and ND folks, it's the threat of being with ourselves. The “second arrow” of self-judgment and how it multiplies pain. Why our nervous system sometimes tries to discharge stored stress in the quiet. How neurodivergent masking leads to crash cycles, comparison, and coping. Practical reframes: becoming the observer, stopping the second arrow, and meeting real needs. Radical acceptance and the beauty of a “nice little life.” Small, doable ways to build capacity for stillness without reaching for a drink. Listen if: You're alcohol-free or AF-curious, you identify as “always busy,” or you're tired of comparing your Tuesday to someone else's highlight reel.

What if your “food sensitivities” weren't really the problem—but just the message your body's been trying to send you? In this episode, we unpack what most food sensitivity tests get wrong and why the MRT (Mediator Release Test) is one of the few tools that can actually reveal what's really inflaming your body. In today's episode, we'll share my personal journey of years of bloating, fatigue, and restriction—before finally discovering how MRT testing offered real answers instead of endless guesswork. You'll learn how popular IgG tests often mislead people into cutting out 20+ foods unnecessarily, and how MRT goes deeper by measuring your actual inflammatory response—not just antibody exposure. We'll break down what the results actually mean, why some “healthy” foods might be triggering your system, and how to use that information to heal, not just restrict. This episode also explores the root causes behind sensitivities—like low stomach acid, leaky gut, chronic stress, and dysbiosis—and how to rebuild tolerance instead of living in fear of food. Through my own experience of reintroducing foods and repairing gut function, I show how MRT can shift you from feeling reactive and confused to calm and confident in your body again. If you've tried every elimination diet, still feel inflamed, and are tired of playing food detective, this conversation will help you see sensitivities for what they really are: signals, not sentences. By the end, you'll understand why healing the terrain, not just removing the foods, is the key to lasting relief—and how using data the right way can bring back freedom, flexibility, and trust in your body. Time Stamps: (1:42) Country T-Swift Fan (2:47) Being An Optimizer (4:57) Food Sensitive/MRT (9:27) Overactive Immune System (11:57) Note on MRT Test (16:52) What Foods To Eat When (20:22) Lowering Inflammation---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark 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?

In this candid conversation, we sit down with Dr. Melissa Wellner, double board–certified adult, child & adolescent psychiatrist and founder of Annapolis Psychiatry, to break down what's typical vs. concerning, how to start supportive (non-scary) conversations, when to loop in a pro, and why caring for your mental health is part of caring for your kids.

What if the reason you're bloated isn't because you're eating too much, but because you're not eating enough? In this episode, we dive into the surprising truth about how eating more food, especially the right kinds in the right amounts, can actually reduce bloating, improve digestion, and help your body finally feel calm and regular again. For many women, undereating or intermittent fasting seems to help at first. You feel “lighter” and less puffy. But over time, that same strategy can backfire, slowing digestion, stressing the gut, and throwing hormones completely out of rhythm. This conversation breaks down why that happens and what to do instead. You'll learn how adequate food intake reactivates your digestive fire, boosts stomach acid and enzyme production, and supports smoother motility. We also explore how eating enough improves bowel regularity, fuels gut repair, and even reduces bloating by calming inflammation and supporting the nervous system. We unpack why skipping meals or surviving on “clean” salads can actually make things worse, and how building balanced meals with protein, carbs, and healthy fats can reset your digestion and hormones. Plus, we'll talk about the hidden link between undereating and the binge-restrict cycle and why eating more consistently throughout the day helps you break free from it. If you've been stuck in the loop of doing everything “right” but still feeling bloated, tired, or puffy, this episode will reframe everything you thought you knew about food and gut health. By the end, you'll understand how more food can mean less bloat, better energy, and a calmer, more predictable digestive system and why sometimes, healing starts with giving your body permission to eat. Time Stamps: (1:44) Dealing with COVID(3:17) Reduce Bloating By Eating More?(5:27) How Is This Possible?(10:26) Eating More and Being Regular(15:27) Saw This Recent Reel(21:12) Omar's Math and Weekly Calorie Intake---------------------Follow Annie on Instagram: @ohannieruth Find Out More Information on Vital Spark 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?

So you're doing everything “right.” You're eating better, moving your body, and feeling good — finally seeing some real progress. Then suddenly… you find yourself skipping workouts, eating junk food, and wondering what the hell happened. You want this so badly. If motivation alone could fix it, you'd be done by now. So why do you keep getting in your own way every time things start to click? It's not because you're lazy. It's not because you lack discipline. It's because something deeper is happening underneath the surface. In this episode of Fitness & Sushi, I'm breaking down the three real reasons you self-sabotage — and how to finally stop fighting yourself so you can make lasting progress that actually feels good. If you've ever wondered why you can't seem to “stick with it,” this episode will help you make sense of it all — and show you how to start building habits that last. In this episode – “How to Stop Self-Sabotaging Every Time You Make Progress” – you'll learn…

If “balance your hormones” feels like a wellness buzzword, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Tara and Elizabeth sit down with Gregory Dodell, MD—board-certified endocrinologist, owner of Central Park Endocrinology, and the brain behind Everything Endocrine on Instagram—to unpack hormones without diet culture.    Dr. Dodell shares his evolution to weight-neutral, stigma-free care, explains what hormones actually are, and gives clear, practical guidance for PCOS, thyroid health, cortisol, and when GLP-1 medications make sense.    We also cover the lab tests worth asking for, why strength training matters, GLP-1s, and how to navigate the “just lose weight” directive so many patients still hear. Consider this your evidence-informed, compassion-first hormone primer.   In this episode: Dr. Dodell's shift from weight-centric training to weight-inclusive care Hormones 101: pituitary → thyroid feedback loops, cortisol basics PCOS made simple: insulin resistance as the foundation “Balance your hormones” claims—what helps and what's hype Lab panels to discuss with your provider (and how often) GLP-1 meds: when they help, red flags, and the importance of monitoring + muscle How to respond when a provider says “just lose weight”   Connect with Dr. Dodell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everything_endocrine/ Website: https://www.centralparkendocrinology.com/   Wellness: Rebranded is turning 3 years old!

What if your cravings weren't weakness, but wisdom from your body asking to be heard? Amber Romaniuk, emotional eating, hormone, and digestive expert, is back on the podcast with us again! But only this time, she's here to uncover to uncover the hidden connection between hormone imbalances, stress, and our relationship with food. Amber opens up about her own journey through binge eating and emotional overwhelm, revealing how unhealed emotions and cortisol spikes can drive cravings, fatigue, and weight fluctuations.  Together, they explore how understanding your hormones, nervous system, and emotions can transform your relationship with food—and with yourself. This conversation isn't about restriction or willpower. It's about listening to the deeper message behind your cravings and reclaiming your body's natural balance.

What if you were doing everything right? Tracking your macros, lifting weights, eating clean and your body still felt inflamed, puffy, and broken?  That was Annie Kundis's reality. A former bodybuilder and competitive powerlifter turned mom and influencer, Annie spent over a decade following every fitness rule in the book only to watch her energy crash, her digestion spiral, and her confidence disappear. In this episode, Annie shares how DUTCH and GI-MAP testing completely changed her life after years of feeling dismissed by traditional doctors who told her to “just eat less and exercise more.” For the first time, real data revealed what was actually happening: low hormones, flipped cortisol, gut infections, and nutrient malabsorption. With that clarity, Annie finally had a roadmap for healing, not more restriction. She opens up about pressing pause on hard training, cutting caffeine, and learning to rest without guilt, plus the simple protocols that led to her first regular digestion in over a decade. We also dive into the emotional side: body dysmorphia, burnout, and rebuilding self-trust after years of fighting her body. Annie's story is raw, hopeful, and deeply relatable, showing that healing isn't about perfection, it's about understanding your body and giving it what it truly needs. If you've ever felt inflamed, exhausted, or unseen by the medical system, this episode will hit home. Tune in to hear how Annie went from survival mode to thriving and why she says today, “I don't feel sick anymore.

So much of your food and body battle comes down to one thing: belief. The women who finally break free from diet culture aren't the ones with more willpower — they're the ones who learn to change the beliefs holding them back. In episode 260 of Fitness & Sushi, I'm going to show you why the beliefs you hold about yourself are the true drivers of your choices, and how to finally break free from the stories diet culture has planted in your mind. In this episode – “How to Break Free From Limiting Beliefs About Food, Your Body, and Exercise” – you'll learn…

This week on The Wellness Scoop we're answering your questions, from the small daily habits that make the biggest difference to how we eat, to whether it's really worth swapping white pasta and rice for wholegrain versions, especially for little ones. We're also digging into the sudden rise of chicory root fibre in high-fibre products, what it actually does in the body, and why it can be a gut-health hero for some people but a nightmare for others. Plus, how to talk to kids about nutrition without creating fear around food, the clever trick to boost vitamin D in mushrooms, and a brilliant listener tip on the growing smartphone-free childhood movement. And as always, a few personal updates, including the gratitude ritual that's been helping Ella dial down overwhelm at the end of each day. Recommendations: Ella - Gratitude conversations at the dinner table. Go round and everyone says something they feel grateful for from their day, and feel the overwhelm melt away!

When you think about health, you probably picture food and exercise. But the truth is, health is shaped far more by social determinants of health—the conditions in which we live, learn, work, and connect. In this episode we break down what social determinants of health really are, why they matter, and how they can shape your wellbeing just as much (or more) than diet and exercise. By understanding the social determinants of health, you can drop the shame, find more compassion, and focus on the areas of wellness that truly support your life. You'll learn: What social determinants of health mean and why they're often overlooked in wellness culture The surprising impact of your zip code and neighborhood on life expectancy How education and income level are tied to long-term health outcomes The role of community and social support in reducing risk of early death Why chronic stress and financial wellbeing can affect every organ system How sleep, creativity, volunteering, and career satisfaction improve wellbeing beyond the gym or kitchen What NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) means and why everyday movement matters If you've ever felt pressured to “eat perfectly” or “work out more” to be healthy, this episode will help you zoom out. You'll see how whole-person wellbeing is shaped by environment, relationships, and access—not just personal choices.    Wellness: Rebranded is turning 3 years old!

Have you ever felt like stress was just baked into your life?  That no matter what you did, your job, your family, or your schedule would always keep you stuck in survival mode?  I've been there. For years, I told myself, “I'll always be stressed,” and it left me trapped in a cycle of burnout, resentment, and health struggles.  What I've learned is that real healing, whether it's from weight loss resistance, hormone imbalances, gut issues, or autoimmune conditions, can't happen until the nervous system feels safe. In this episode, I'm sharing the three shifts that helped me move from constant overwhelm to a place of regulation and resilience: state, story, and strategy. First, I'll break down how simple physical practices like eating outside in the sun, sipping chamomile tea, or walking between calls helped reset my nervous system.  Then, I'll explain how changing my story moved me out of victim mode and into empowerment, showing how the words we repeat to ourselves literally shape our stress hormones. Finally, I'll share how strategy through boundaries, systems, and structure became the safety net that made everything else sustainable. You'll also hear a practical example of how a full-time working mom could apply these same shifts to create more peace, energy, and balance in her day-to-day life, without adding another overwhelming “to-do.”  Time Stamps: (0:25) The Fall Season (2:10) Work Schedule and The Negative Self-Narrative (7:00) State/Story/Strategy Framework (9:50) Supporting My Physiology (14:10) Combating The All or Nothing Mentality (16:25) The Story You're Telling Yourself (21:05) The Final Piece: Strategy (25:45) Motion.AI (37:10) Tag Us for Accountability---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark 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?

So you've tried to diet your way to control, but instead, you end up feeling more out of control than ever. Why is that? It's not just about willpower or “falling off track.” Dieting actually dysregulates your entire system — your hunger cues, your emotions, your hormones, even your nervous system. The very rules you're following are what cause you to swing back and forth on the pendulum: restrict, rebel, repeat. In episode 257 of Fitness & Sushi, we'll show you why dieting keeps you stuck in chaos, and how to finally break free by learning to stay regulated instead. In this episode — “How Dieting Dysregulates Your Body and Mind (And What to Do Instead)” — you'll learn…
