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?

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.

What if your eating habits could teach you more about how you move through the world than you ever imagined?In this deeply personal episode, I share insights sparked by a recent labyrinth walk—one that cracked open an uncomfortable (but necessary) realization about how I navigate discomfort in all areas of life, not just around food.You'll hear:Why I've been rushing through everything—and how that mirrors my relationship with foodHow overwhelm transformed into a subtler discomfort I've been calling “boredom”The real reason I've been wandering into the kitchen lately—and what I've started doing insteadA surprising confession about my coaching business (and what's next for me)How movement, mindfulness, and even a shower can reveal what you're really avoidingIf you've ever used food to dodge uncomfortable thoughts, or felt stuck at the edge of your own growth, this one's for you.

In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that's rarely discussed in the intuitive eating space—cannabis. Registered dietitian Leah Kern joins me to explore how cannabis and intuitive eating can coexist, and why blaming “the munchies” for out-of-control eating misses the bigger picture. Leah shares: Why cannabis can heighten pleasure around food (and why that's not a bad thing) What actually drives binge-like eating when high, and how diet culture plays a role How to build interoceptive awareness and body trust outside of altered states Real-world tips to stop binge eating when high (and why they matter when you're sober too) & more! You're going to walk away with a more grounded understanding of how body attunement and intuitive eating apply in all kinds of situations. Connect with Leah: @leahkernrd leahkernrd.com -----

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?

As a queer, transgender man who transitioned later in life, he knows what it's like to live in a marginalised body—and how intimidating working out can feel, especially when you're just starting or don't feel at home in mainstream fitness spaces. What Trey loves most about working out is how it supports his mental and emotional health, and he wholeheartedly believes that everyone deserves the freedom and resources to move their body in a way that's right for them. That's why his coaching style is client-centred, compassion-led, and designed to build confidence, and every workout he coaches is designed to feel safe, fun, and zero-pressure.

We hear the word mindfulness all the time, but what does it actually mean… and more importantly, how do we practice it in real life? In this episode, Maria, Tara and Elizabeth have a refreshingly real conversation on what mindfulness looks like outside of a yoga studio. From zoning out while driving to doom scrolling (or as Maria calls it — dumbscrolling), we explore how modern life disconnects us from the present moment — and how small shifts can bring us back to ourselves. In this episode: Why mindfulness isn't just for people who meditate The difference between mindfulness and meditation Everyday moments where you're probably already practicing mindfulness (and don't even know it) The physical and emotional health benefits of mindfulness — backed by science Personal stories of how we each stay present  Resources & Mentions: – Tara's in-person Progressive Relaxation class – May 6 at 7 PM – Relax and Renew: An Hour of Progressive Relaxation with Tara: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/FAFGA8EEASMD9/checkout/OQPHVJYKUKEMAJPRBFIJ2QDX – Emotional Fitness Studio's upcoming in-person events: https://thecoachingtherapist.com/emotional-fitness-studio/ – Related episode: 129.

Ever thought, “If I listened to my body, I'd just eat sweets and junk all day”?If so, you are NOT alone my friend. This is by far one of the most common fears women have when they hear about intuitive eating — and it makes total sense, especially if you've spent years in the restrict-binge cycle.But here's what most people don't fully know: that's not intuitive eating. That's impulsive eating.In this episode, I'm breaking down the #1 misconception that's likely keeping you stuck, spinning in food guilt, and totally doubting your ability to trust yourself.We'll talk about:The difference between impulsive eating and intuitive eatingWhy it feels like you'd lose all control if you stopped restrictingWhat true body trust actually looks like (and how to rebuild it)If you've ever felt afraid that intuitive eating = eating “trash” 24/7, this episode will bring you clarity, relief, and maybe even a little hope. Let's get into it!

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?

What did you think of this episode? Send me a text message and let me know!In this episode, I get to bring you a very special guest, someone whose work has transformed my whole practice, and who has been helping people heal their relationship with food and their bodies through intuitive eating for three decades! In this conversation, Intuitive Eating co-founder Evelyn Tribole shares why this compassionate, research-backed framework is more relevant than ever—especially during menopause.We explore how symptoms like sleep disruption can throw off hunger cues, why decades of dieting create a fear of "losing control," and how that fear is actually your body trying to protect you. Evelyn breaks down the biology behind these patterns and offers a deeply freeing perspective for anyone tired of blaming themselves.You'll also hear why intuitive eating works even with midlife health conditions, and how shifting from restriction to "nutrition by addition" can make food feel joyful again. Most of all, this episode is an invitation to stop fighting your body—and start finding what truly lights you up.☀️ Ditch the “I'll be good today” loop in 5 days with the Midlife Morning Makeover Email Challenge ➡️ https://www.menopausenutritionist.ca/morningmakeoverConnect with Evelyn:The Website: https://www.evelyntribole.com/Instagram: @evelyntribole

This week, I'm joined by award-winning author Paulette Stout for a powerful conversation about her latest novel, What We Give Away—a book that absolutely blew me away.We explore how fiction can illuminate truths in ways facts and figures can't, and why Paulette's story of a woman navigating disordered eating, body image, and diet culture feels so real, so needed, and so affirming.We talk about:Why she chose to tackle diet culture in a novel The impact of weight stigma, even in straight-sized bodies The power of relationships, food, and cultural identity in healing How fiction can become a bridge for deeper understanding—especially for those new to these ideas We also chat about favorite characters (everyone needs a Dot!) and how this story is already changing lives.Whether you're deep in your intuitive eating journey or just beginning to question the rules you've always followed, this episode will speak to your heart.

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.

Burnout doesn't just happen in therapy rooms or hospitals—it happens in boardrooms, loan offices, and anywhere women are expected to give endlessly without pause. In this episode, we're joined by Tanner Greenwalt, a seasoned mortgage professional who is changing the way her industry views mental health and success. Tanner shares her personal journey through burnout, what recovery looked like, and how she learned to set boundaries in a profession that rarely encourages it. We also discuss what burnout really feels like (hint: it's not just being tired), why slowing down is essential—not selfish—and how mental health should be the foundation of any meaningful definition of success. We talk about: What burnout really looks and feels like in high-pressure jobs The hidden emotional toll of careers in finance and service industries Tools for completing the stress cycle during your workday The lie that burnout is "just part of the job" Redefining success around mental health, joy, and sustainability Advice we'd give to our younger selves about boundaries and wellbeing Why wellness isn't a luxury—it's a necessity Resources Mentioned: Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski Pique Your Interest Podcast by Tanner Greenwalt (Spotify + YouTube) Let's connect and keep the conversation going!   The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37e   Elizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDN FB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating community https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeating Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutrition Free download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet   Tara De Leon, Master Personal Trainer Email: FitnessTrainer19@hotmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitness   Maria Winters, LCPC, NCC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapy Website: www.thecoachingtherapist.com Attend an Emotional Fitness Studio Class: https://thecoachingtherapist.com/emotional-fitness-studio/

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. That's particularly true when it comes to extreme diets, like the Paleo diet or a juice diet.  Where does the term come from? Isn't it normal to eat when hungry?

In today's solo episode, I'm diving into something I hear time and time again: why intuitive eating doesn't work for weight loss. I get, and I know that intuitive eating isn't meant for weight loss, but I know a lot of women who have used it an attempt to change their relationship with food, and hope the weight loss comes along the way. I'm here to dismantle and offer a different perspective on some of their principles. To connect with Molly, click HERETo subscribe to her weekly FREE Newsletter, click HERETo submit your question for advice from Molly on the show click HERE

Feeling off lately and wondering if it's perimenopause—or just life? You're not alone. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Poldmae a licensed acupuncturist, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and founder of Meadow Hill Wellness, to cut through the noise, demystify midlife, and talk about what's really happening to your body, your mind, and your identity during this powerful season of change. In this episode, we dive into how stress mimics perimenopausal symptoms, how to complete the “stress cycle” to support your body, and how to reframe aging from something to fear… into something to celebrate. In this episode: What perimenopause and menopause actually are (spoiler: it's not just about your period) Why mindset matters more than ever during midlife The connection between emotional health and physical symptoms How society has made women feel invisible—and why that narrative needs to change Tools to regulate your nervous system and complete the stress cycle What Dr. Poldmae wishes every midlife woman knew about her power, purpose, and health Mentioned in this episode: Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski Relax and Renew: An Hour of Progressive Relaxation with Tara: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/FAFGA8EEASMD9/checkout/OQPHVJYKUKEMAJPRBFIJ2QDX Jennifer Osterhouse Design https://jenniferosterhouse.com/ Connect with Dr. Sara Poldmae: Website: https://risingwomanproject.com/ Meadow Hill Wellness: https://www.meadowhillwellness.com/ Rising Women Project Podcast: https://risingwomanproject.com/podcast-archive/   Let's connect and keep the conversation going!   The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37e   Elizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDN FB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating community https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeating Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutrition Free download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet   Tara De Leon, Master Personal Trainer Email: FitnessTrainer19@hotmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitness   Maria Winters, LCPC, NCC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapy Website: www.thecoachingtherapist.com Attend an Emotional Fitness Studio Class: https://thecoachingtherapist.com/emotional-fitness-studio/

In this conversation, Amber Abila and I discuss the challenges many of us face when it comes to listening to our bodies, setting boundaries, and giving voice to what's true for us. Amber is a binge and overeating coach, while I coach people to speak with impact and clarity from their truest voice.We both see huge overlap in our coaching practices and agree that listening to our body is crucial for understanding our needs and then getting them met - whether that is with moderate amounts of nourishing food or expressing our authentic Selves verbally.It has taken me a long time to learn what it means to create safety in my body, to sit with my emotions and not eat or drink them away. Amber and I dig into matters of self-worth, the struggle against people-pleasing, and the reality of shame and its ability to trigger overeating, binge eating, staying silent or speaking non-truths. It's all related…join the conversation.Guest Bio:Amber Abila helps women stop binge eating & overeating by rewiring their brains so they can feel normal and in control around ANY food.Through coaching and psychology, she learned that there was nothing wrong with her and she just needed some simple brain tools to start making dramatic shifts in her eating habits and life.She now walks others step by step through her process in her signature Confident Eater Program as well as in her podcast, in the top 3% worldwide, called “Become a Confident Eater.”Website: https://www.theconfidenteater.orgPodcast: https://www.theconfidenteater.org/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconfidenteater_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/532434625387487YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@amberabila About Jen Oliver:I pursue and create environments where we converse on the REAL stuff that changes us.

Are you intrigued by this week's title? That title is called a hook. A hook is something that gets your attention because it opens a loop in your brain, and gets you to keep reading/watching/listening until that loop is closed. Why do certain reels on Instagram get you to pause and watch them through? Because there is text or video or something that hooks you in by opening that loop in your brain. This little-known psychological phenomenon is called the Zeigarnik effect, coined by Dr. Bluma Zeigarnik.  This is why every episode of a good show ends in a cliffhanger. (It's why I'm really angry with the author of the Fourth Wing series… leaving every book with a cliffhanger.) It's also the same reason why many high-performing women find themselves overwhelmed quickly when making changes in their health and fitness. These women are giving their all in every area, but just like your computer only has so much RAM and you can only have so many tabs open before it slows down, you can only do so many things before your executive function (the “management system” of your brain) gets taxed. Add in stress, poor sleep, anxiety (all common symptoms of hormone imbalances) and your executive function is even more limited. The Zeigarnik effect states ''Our minds quickly forget finished tasks. However, they are programmed to continually interrupt us with reminders of unfinished tasks.” In other words, the Zeigarnik effect causes you to have lingering thoughts about the to-do's you haven't done, the deliverables you have yet to finish because your brain is looking for closure. We can hack this effect (the same way I've hacked netflix by pausing episodes in the lull instead of finishing the episode) by reducing cognitive overload. So how do we do that when we have a million priorities? In this episode, I'm going to share with you 4 key ways and strategies to mitigate the Zeigarnik effect that is causing you a lot of overwhelm and stress when it comes to your health and fitness goals.

Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked:"I was just curious if you think I need someone to help me with meal planning. I am so type A that everything I hear about health and wellness I take to the T and then I am constantly worrying about my protein (eating good fat, but not too much; not avoiding carbs - eating more veggies, choosing the fiber rich carbs). All of this is good, but I feel like I over-stress about it so much that I don't even listen to my body and how it feels! In your opinion, what do I really need to dial in as far as nutrition while I am trying to heal my gut?"Krista's question comes on the heels of having made some great improvements in her health and symptoms such as having more energy in afternoon, being able to function perfectly with NO coffee/caffeine, bloating being down, distention is 50% better, and being able to fall asleep MUCH faster through the night. What she REALLY wanted to know is - would hiring a nutritionist heal her heal her gut faster?This is a SUPER common question I get ask, and I'm so excited to share my real answer with you today!P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can!

In this episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I'm diving into something that's been showing up in my own intuitive eating journey lately—something sneaky that might be tripping you up too: the difference between pleasure and familiarity.Sometimes we reach for certain foods, habits, or even thought patterns not because they truly bring us joy or nourishment—but because they're familiar. They're predictable. And in a world that feels overwhelming or exhausting, predictability can feel like relief. But here's the thing: comfort isn't always the same as pleasure. And when we mistake one for the other, we can stay stuck in patterns that don't actually support us.This week, I'm exploring:Why our brains cling to the familiar (even when it's not helpful)How to tell the difference between real pleasure and short-term comfortWhy discomfort is part of the change process—and not a sign you're doing it wrongHow mindfulness can help you break free from old autopilot behaviors and make more nourishing, conscious choicesWhether it's food, body image habits, or the way you talk to yourself—this episode will help you tune in more clearly to what actually feels good (not just what feels known). No shame, no judgment—just curiosity, compassion, and a gentle invitation to try something new.Resources + Links:Email me: michelle@wayzahealth.com – I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one!Learn more about how to work with me at wayzahealth.comEnjoyed this episode?Share it with a friend or leave a review—it helps more folks find the support they need to heal their relationship with food, body, and self.

In this heartfelt episode, Sarah and Stef explore the concept of self-forgiveness, including that it isn't about excusing harmful behaviors but rather about understanding and acknowledging the underlying causes of our actions.   Sarah emphasizes the role of self-forgiveness in her personal growth, sharing how recognizing our inherent innocence can change the way we address self-blame and guilt. Stef reflects on the interplay between self-forgiveness and accountability, discussing the importance of balancing compassion with the acknowledgment of our responsibilities. Listeners will find relatable anecdotes about personal struggles with self-forgiveness and practical insights into how to navigate these feelings. The conversation touches on themes of regret, grief, and the importance of staying present and regulated while addressing past actions. Together, Sarah and Stef offer a compassionate perspective on how to hold discomfort, avoid the trap of self-victimization, and move toward a healthier, more forgiving state of mind.

Protein is having a moment—but how much do you actually need? In this episode, we're digging into the hype, the research, and the real-life application of protein intake for women in all stages of life, including perimenopause and menopause. With so much noise around macros and protein powders, it can be hard to know what's real and what's just diet culture in disguise. Elizabeth breaks down the science (with receipts), Tara shares what's trending in the fitness world, and Maria asks all the questions we know you're wondering too.   In this episode:   Why nutrition is more nuanced than social media makes it seem How much protein you might need—and what the research actually says What you need to know about the RDA Red flags when you're eating too much protein Easy sources of protein beyond chicken and fish When and why to use protein powder or bars Why your overall eating pattern matters more than a single meal   Relax and Renew: An Hour of Progressive Relaxation with Tara: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/FAFGA8EEASMD9/checkout/OQPHVJYKUKEMAJPRBFIJ2QDX Jennifer Osterhouse Design https://jenniferosterhouse.com/ Learn more about Leading Lady Coaching here: https://leadinglady-coaching.com/   Let's connect and keep the conversation going!   The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37e   Elizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDN FB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating community https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeating Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutrition Free download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet   Tara De Leon, Master Personal Trainer Email: FitnessTrainer19@hotmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitness   Maria Winters, LCPC, NCC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapy Website: www.thecoachingtherapist.com Attend an Emotional Fitness Studio Class: https://thecoachingtherapist.com/emotional-fitness-studio/

Today is another episode in our RD Meet the Team Series where you will get to hear Sam interview the amazing providers that make up the Find Food Freedom® Team! Today we are featuring: Julie Roberti! A note from Julie: “When I first started my training as a Registered Dietitian I fell into a very disordered relationship with food and my body. The first time I lost weight was by accident, but the results were overwhelming. I got so much attention and noticed when I stopped restricting I gained back the weight plus some. The control, the attention, all of it was so enticing. This rollercoaster lasted for over two decades. In my mid 40's going through perimenopause my body gave up, I could not lose even a pound. That was when I decided to stop dieting and just eat what felt good. Over the next 10 years my weight increased but my joy and love of life also increased. It took a long time to make peace with my new body, especially after menopause. But, the peace of enjoying going out to dinner with my friends and family, going on vacations, family celebrations and no longer being obsessive about everything I ate felt amazing. Getting my certification in Intuitive Eating was one of the most amazing experiences for me both personally and professionally. Getting to work with my clients and understanding each step they are going through helps me to really help them unpack their own trauma around diet culture. I feel very lucky to be able to work with my clients and support them through each step of the process!” Julie's Client Rennie's Podcast Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/our-client-shares-her-honest-intuitive-eating-journey/id1561021438?i=1000702799740

At one point I cried to my doctor because I was just so frustrated…. I thought I needed to eat less, be stricter, exercise harder but none of it was working. In fact, I found myself gaining weight, looking puffier, and feeling more exhausted the harder I tried. Does this sound familiar? "You're just being lazy. It's all in your head" is what I kept telling myself and that only made things worse mentally. It wasn't until I dug deeper into my hormone health and found the root cause I was able to start truly healing and getting back to myself. In this episode, I'm going to explain the four key changes that I implemented that made all the difference for me. We will cover why I backed off of my training, learned to nourish my adrenals with proper nutrition, cut back on caffeine which was incredibly hard at the time, and learned to rebalance my circadian rhythm.  Time Stamps: (0:25) Team Coming Into Town (1:32) The Adrenals (3:05) My Hormone Healing Journey (5:15) What To Look For With Adrenal Fatigue (9:15) Pulling Back Intensity (11:25) Nourishing Your Adrenals (14:28) Magnesium Rich Foods (16:18) Hydration and Electrolytes (19:12) Proper Supplementation (19:54) Cutting Back on Caffeine (21:15) Prioritizing Sleep (25:05) We Can't Work With Everyone---------------------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?
