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

Ep. 225 I Did a 72-Hour Fast: Here's What Happened (and What You Should Know)

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

Are your eating habits driven by stress and restriction—or guided by safety, self-love, and true nourishment?In this episode, Sherry talks about how our nervous system affects the way we eat and take care of ourselves. She explains the shift from Protection Mode (where we feel stressed or unsafe) to Safety Mode (where we feel calm and in control), and why that shift is so important for healthy habits.Instead of using food and exercise as a form of punishment, Sherry encourages us to choose a mindset of kindness and self-love. This helps us build a better, more natural relationship with food and fitness.She also shares how diet culture and past experiences can confuse our eating patterns, and why changing the way we think—from “I can't eat that” to “I don't need that”—can lead to long-term health and freedom around food.Topic Covered:Journey to Intuitive Eating and FitnessThe Impact of Diet Trends on Mental Health and Eating HabitsUnderstanding the Autonomic Nervous System's Role in EmotionsUnderstanding Weight Fluctuations and the Impact of Diet CultureEmbracing Intuitive Eating and Self-Compassion for HealthAddressing Emotional Eating Before Starting Intuitive EatingHealing Your Relationship With Food Through Intuitive EatingRedefining Fitness Goals for Aging and Personal EmpowermentShifting From Can't to Don't for Identity TransformationEmbracing Fitness and Consistency Over Intensity for SuccessIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

Ep. 224 How To Improve Gut Health Without Supplements or Labs

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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/

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.

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. Let us know your biggest takeaway from this episode! Time Stamps: (1:15) Intrigued By This Week's Title? (2:27) The Concept of Hooks (7:32) Why This Effect Exists (15:14) #1: Top 3 Priorities (18:06) #2: Consistency (28:35) #3: Chucking 2 Minute Tasks (33:27) #4: Mind Management (37:34) You Once Prayed For These Tasks (42:55) The Power of Breath Work (45:25) Please Share with A Friend---------------------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?

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.
