We get it. You're trying to fit everything into your mornings: a workout, meditation, a full breakfast, maybe even the Today Show. But who has time for all of that before the workday starts? In this episode, we're breaking down the concept of exercise snacking—short bursts of movement you can sprinkle into your day to support your physical and mental health without needing a full gym session. From four-minute Tabata sets to dance parties while making breakfast, we explore creative ways to rethink what counts as “exercise” (spoiler: a lot more than you think). Plus, we share the companion ideas of nutrition nudges and mindful minis—because small steps do add up. In this episode: What exercise snacking actually is (and why the name needs a rebrand) How short workouts can offer major benefits Real-life examples of “snacks” that count—from stair sprints to pool piggybacks Why mindful moments and small nutrition upgrades make a difference too How to habit stack these into your day without adding more to your to-do list This episode was brought to you by Leading Lady Coaching.

If you're eating clean, working out, and still not losing weight… your gut might be the missing piece. In today's episode, I'm breaking down 10 reasons why gut health directly impacts your metabolism, hormones, and ability to lose fat and why testing with a GI MAP could be the game-changer you've been missing. We'll talk about how certain gut infections like H. pylori or parasites keep your body in survival mode, signaling it to hold on to fat. You'll learn how your gut bacteria influence your cravings, blood sugar, and even your metabolism through short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. I'll explain why hidden gut inflammation can block fat loss and how slow digestion (aka not pooping daily) recirculates estrogen and toxins, stalling your progress. We'll also dive into how bad bacteria can steal essential nutrients you need for fat-burning, how gut health affects your thyroid function, and why your gut impacts not just your body, but your brain chemistry and motivation too. Plus, I'll explain why detoxing estrogen properly is key to shedding stubborn fat and how even the “perfect” diet won't work if your gut can't break down food and eliminate waste. This episode will help you see why your gut is the foundation of sustainable weight loss and why it's not just about willpower or cutting calories. If you're feeling stuck, testing your gut might be the missing link to get your body working with you again.

This episode is part of Body Relationship Month — our special July series revisiting some of the most-loved episodes to help you heal your relationship with your body. If you want more self-worth or confidence, you have to give it to yourself. Stop making it contingent on a smaller body. The more we tie our self-worth to our body, the more uncomfortable we feel in our own skin. Instead of using food and exercise to meet our needs and help us feel our best, we end up using them as tools to control our body and our value. Any unwanted number on the scale can trigger a collapse in self-worth. To solve this, you have to separate your body from your body image — and start working on the latter. In this episode — “How to Handle Being Uncomfortable in Your Own Skin” — you'll learn:
Msg me "ACADEMY" for details on Your BINGE FREE Life Academy where you get personalized coaching & mentorship to becoming BINGE FREE for life.In this episode, I'm bringing on a special guest, Christine, who's been a powerhouse in her own transformation journey inside the Academy. From battling binge eating to embracing her intuition, boundaries, and self-love, Christine went from struggling with obsessing over what she was eating, using food for comfort when emotions hit to becoming empowered, grounded, and fully committed to a life where she is in the driver seat, not food.Christine shares her journey of going from the membership to the Academy, where she gained not only control over her relationship with food but also deeper insights into herself. This journey wasn't just about food, it's been about learning to listen to her body, set boundaries, and show up for herself in every area of her life. We talk about how she was able to normalize foods she once binged on (she had dried mangos in her pantry for 8 months and completely forgot that they were even there) and how she built a sustainable lifestyle that feels effortless and empowering.Key Takeaways:How committing to long-term growth leads to lasting transformation in your relationship with food.The power of trusting your intuition to make decisions that align with your true self.Why setting boundaries is key to emotional freedom and overcoming self-destructive behaviuors.How food becomes effortless when you stop seeing it as “good” or “bad” and instead tune into what your body needs.Real-life stories of how Christine was able to move beyond binge eating and become the confident, grounded woman she is today. She says "the best project I'll ever work on is myself"
Send us a textSkinny is back. With a vengeance. We're furious. Listen, we are very much speaking from a position of privilege in terms of both being in straight-sized bodies, but approaching fitness and health through an anti-oppressive and inclusive lens, this is simply not good news.Eating disorders and disordered eating are very much on the rise, as is body dissatisfaction, and the very sad truth is, is that there is no quick fix when it comes to our fitness,our bodies and indeed our confidence. Sure we can lose weight in the short term but what about sustainability. What about the impact of continual weight fluctuations on our health. Confidence is not waiting for us at our goal weight.There is nuance here. For some folks, the new GLP-1 drugs have been beneficial and more and more research is being done into their impact on binge eating disorders. We discuss all of this and more in today's episode. It is a spicy one and we'd absolutely LOVE your comments or feedback.We start the episode with the following quote from the wonderful Abbie Attwood:"There's something unbearably cruel about living in a world where millions of people go hungry because they have no choice, while millions more go hungry because they've been told that they should." Please reach out if you would like some support with your relationship to food OR movement. Ela currently has limited spaces for Intuitive Eating coaching and if you'd like to reconnect with movement, contact Christine.AND if you enjoyed this episode, please share and follow the 'Find Your Strong podcast' and if you have time, write us a short review. It would honestly mean the world. Love to you all, Ela & Christine x

If your body feels like it's stuck in stress mode no matter how “healthy” you try to be, your mindset might be the missing piece. In this episode, we're breaking down four common mental blocks that keep your hormones out of balance… and simple mindset shifts that can help you finally feel more at home in your body. We'll talk about how perfectionist thinking can actually keep your nervous system on edge and how focusing on small daily habits (à la James Clear's 1-degree plane shift) can create long-term change without burnout.Next up: guilt and shame. I'll share the stonecutter analogy that helps you swap shame for pride and consistency.We'll also explore how body frustration can morph into powerful gratitude when you zoom out including a powerful reframe I picked up from Alex Hormozi.And if you've ever felt like a single slip-up ruins your progress, you'll love the final mindset swap: learning to see those moments as tune-ups, not setbacks. Something I've had to lean into recently myself. These mindset upgrades aren't just motivational fluff. They lower stress, regulate your nervous system, and support better hormone balance over time.Whether you're deep in your healing journey or just getting started, these small mental shifts can make a big physical difference!

This episode is part of Body Relationship Month — our special July series where we're revisiting some of our most-loved episodes to help you heal your relationship with your body. Many of us struggle to overcome society's message that you need to look a certain way to be valued. Adopting these messages (willingly or not) often creates debilitating battles with how we see our bodies. This negative body relationship can permeate nearly every aspect of life and diminish our entire experience. We end up living day after day with someone (ourselves) we don't accept, love, or appreciate unconditionally. And well… that sucks. But there are steps you can take to embrace your imperfections, accept yourself as-is, and still pursue your health and fitness goals. The result? Peace, freedom, and finally escaping a lifetime sentence in your food and body prison. In this episode — “Embracing Imperfection: How to Love Your Body at Every Stage” — you'll learn:

Together, they unpack the science, debunk the diet culture spin, and offer a more compassionate path forward—one rooted in balance, flexibility, and trust in your body.

If you have ADHD, or wonder if you do, this episode is an important one…we're talking all about how neurodivergence impacts your nutrition and the way you feed yourself with Marilee Pumple RD, dietitian with ADHD herself who has an enormous amount of experience helping others navigate nutrition in both neurodivergence and eating disorders. When I started this podcast, it was super important to me that we talk about, well, all sorts of topics surrounding wellness…and not just the ones you might expect. Which is why today's chat is so important to me: we're gonna talk about how neurodivergence impacts your ability to feed yourself and, most importantly, tools that can help you thrive.More than a few of my friends have ADHD - and interestingly, most received their diagnoses in adulthood, NOT childhood - so I'm grateful to have one of them, Victoria-based registered dietitian Marilee Pumple on the pod to talk about her experience with living with ADHD and her professional expertise in supporting folks with neurodivergence in navigating nutrition. Today's episode is a must listen for neurodivergent folks and the folks who love them: we are going to cover nutrition considerations for both adults and kids, including navigating selective eating for parents! An important note before you listen: we are going to talk about eating disorders, both as part of Marilee's lived experience but also as an important consideration in neurodivergence as the risk of eating disorders is increased. So if that's not right for you, go ahead and skip this episode and we'll see you next time!About Marilee Pumple RD:Marilee Pumple (she/her) is a non-diet registered dietitian, late-identified ADHDer, and co-founder of Little Spuds Nutrition—a neurodivergent-affirming pediatric and family nutrition practice based in Victoria, BC. She specializes in eating disorders and neurodivergent nutrition, offering trauma-informed, size-inclusive care that honours body autonomy, sensory needs, and lived experience. Rooted in Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating, Marilee's approach is light-hearted, empathetic, and deeply client-centered—supporting folks to build trust with food and their bodies without shame. She resides in Victoria, where she enjoys her days being a mom to her wild toddler and her love for all things cheese.On this episode we chat about:Marilee's experience arriving at an ADHD diagnosis in her 30sUnderstanding how neurodivergence influences your ability to feed yourselfWhy eating disorders are common in neurodivergenceSimple strategies to automate your meal planningWhy mechanical eating can help you get in touch with your hunger cuesHow to manage decreased appetite due to medicationsWhen the time is right to layer on positive nutritionTips for parents feeding neurodivergent kidsSupport the Pod!We couldn't make this podcast happen without the support of our amazing listeners…I love hearing your feedback on these episodes to be sure to join the conversation on our instagram @theallsortspod @desireenielsenrd @marilee_dietitian @spudsnutritionIf you love this episode, please share it with your friends and family, or take a minute to rate, review or subscribe on your favourite podcast app. We appreciate EVERY.

I've been getting a lot of questions lately as our following and show has grown such as: “What actually is a functional health approach to weight loss?” “Are labs like the GI Map or DUTCH test worth it?” “What do I even do with the results?” If you've ever thought, “I eat clean. I work out. I track my food. And yet… nothing's changing,” this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I open up about what I've learned after years of doing everything “right” and still feeling inflamed, exhausted, and stuck in a body that felt like it was working against me. We'll unpack the real reasons your body may be resisting fat loss, healing, and energy. To all the ill-informed men in my comments: It's not just discipline or willpower or eating less and moving more. You'll learn why functional testing can reveal what basic labs miss, and how systems like your gut, thyroid, liver, and adrenals all communicate in a connected “group chat”, where one disruption creates a cascade. I'll share the exact myths I had to break about weight loss, hormones, and healing and the turning point that finally helped me get real answers. This episode is about reconnecting with your body, learning to read its signals, and understanding that your symptoms aren't random, they're messages. You'll walk away with clarity, compassion for yourself, and hope that yes, this is fixable. If your body feels broken… this is the permission slip and path forward you've been waiting for.

What if menopause wasn't something to endure, but something to embrace? After asking my Instagram community about the unexpected gifts of midlife, their answers revealed just how liberating this season can be. From deeper friendships and renewed creativity to freedom from dieting and people-pleasing, their stories echoed a powerful shift, and one rooted in self-awareness, strength, and permission to live more authentically.These insights inspired my new book, Eat to Thrive During Menopause, which blends intuitive eating with symptom-supportive nutrition. No tracking, no rules, just nourishment. Even though this is the Season 5 finale, this episode invites you to see menopause not as an ending, but as a new beginning.8 Like what you learned?

You've been told to “just listen to your body”…But what if your body is sending mixed signals because your hormones are out of sync?In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the intuitive eating trend—and why it often backfires for women over 40. If you're gaining weight, always bloated, or constantly craving sugar even when you're “doing everything right,” this episode is your wake-up call.We'll break down:⚠️ Why intuitive eating doesn't work when your metabolism is dysregulated
“You should listen to your body” — but what does that actually mean? In this episode, we're breaking down one of the most common (and confusing) pieces of advice in the intuitive eating space: how to actually understand how food makes you feel. If you've ever thought, “I want to listen to my body… but I have no idea what I'm listening for,” this one's for you. We walk through the real-life barriers that block us from tuning in — like busyness, distraction, diet rules, and self-worth — and then guide you through simple ways to reconnect with your internal cues. From digestive reactions to emotional responses, energy levels to satisfaction, we cover the full spectrum of physical and mental signals your body gives you after eating. In this episode: How to check in with simple prompts like “pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral?” What to notice beyond fullness: energy, mood, digestion, and more How to move from food rules to body trust Real-life examples (including some funny ones!) of how tuning in changes everything Whether you're just starting your intuitive eating journey or want to deepen your connection to your body, this episode will give you practical tools and new perspectives to explore.

You love the gym and it's been your sanctuary away from your stress for years. But what if your go-to stress relief tool is now part of the problem? In today's episode, we dive deep into why intense workouts might be silently burning you out rather than building you up. If you've been feeling exhausted, foggy, or stuck despite training hard, this one's for you. We explore why cardio and high-intensity workouts only offer temporary relief from mental stress and how they can actually strain your nervous system when your cortisol is already tapped out. I'll share what's really going on when your “post-workout high” feels amazing in the moment but leaves you drained long-term. More importantly, you'll learn five powerful, science-backed stress management tools that rebuild your system instead of depleting it. From daily walks to somatic resets and nervous system journaling, this episode is all about redefining strength. Because true power isn't in pushing harder: it's in knowing when to rest. If your body is in overdraft, it's time to stop swiping the stress credit card and start healing for good.

In this follow-up to last week's conversation about trauma and weight, Dr. Michelle Tubman explores a crucial truth that doesn't get talked about enough: you can't listen to a body you don't feel safe in.While intuitive eating is often positioned as the antidote to food struggles, it's not always the right starting point—especially for those navigating trauma, chronic stress, or deep disconnection from their bodies. If you've ever tried intuitive eating and felt like it just didn't work for you, this episode will help you understand why that might be—and why it's not your fault.Dr. Michelle shares:Why trauma makes it difficult to “drop into” your bodyWhat it actually feels like to be unsafe in your body (hint: it might show up as numbness, dissociation, or shutdown)The difference between chaotic eating and restricting patterns—and how both can emerge from traumaWhy trying intuitive eating too soon can feel overwhelming or even backfireHow “scheduled eating” can be a gentle stepping stone—not a diet, but a bridge to body trustWhat healing the nervous system looks like, and why that work may need to come before food workShe also shares her own story of struggling with intuitive eating in the early days of her healing, and why she's now training to offer gentle trauma release sessions—a new offering coming this fall, designed to help clients who feel disconnected or unsafe in their bodies begin to rebuild trust and safety from the inside out.If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear that it's not their fault. And if you're ready to explore body reconnection and trauma healing, stay tuned for more about upcoming trauma release sessions—or reach out to learn more.Learn more about Dr Tubman at wayzahealth.com.
If your body couldn't change no matter what—how would you show up for yourself? This follow-up episode dives deeper into one powerful question that left Maria reeling (in the best way). What if your body stayed exactly as it is—forever? Would you still hit the gym? Would you live off chocolate cake? Would you finally wear the bikini? We talk honestly about body acceptance, the difference between looking good vs. feeling good, and how our motivations shape our behaviors. Spoiler: even the experts have off days, skipped workouts, and regret eating 700 M&Ms. You're in good company. In this episode: What it really means to feel good in your body Why chasing physical changes isn't the only path to wellness The truth about intuitive eating (no, it's not just eating cake all day) The evolving, messy, beautiful relationship we all have with food and fitness Permission to be imperfect—and show up anyway 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/

This week, we're talking boundaries—the invisible lines that protect our time, energy, and sanity (when we actually enforce them). Stef and Sarah unpack what boundaries really are (hint: not just saying “no”), how they show up in our bodies, our relationships, and our work—and why so many of us struggle to hold them. From family dynamics to friend drama, people-pleasing traps to food boundaries, they share real stories of what it takes to define and defend your limits without guilt. They also get into the psychology behind rigid vs. porous boundaries, how social conditioning makes it harder for some of us to draw the line, and why clear communication isn't just helpful—it's essential.

"I just want to feel good in my body this summer." Sound familiar? You're not alone. What does that really mean? And more importantly, does it always have to involve changing the way you look? In this episode, we explore this through personal stories, struggles, and redefinitions of what it truly means to feel good in your body. We peel back the layers of societal expectations, internalized body shame, and toxic summer body narratives. Whether you're dealing with physical discomfort, emotional burnout, or that persistent inner critic telling you you "need to lose 15 pounds," this episode will help you reframe what feeling good actually looks like — on your own terms. In this episode: What it really means to "feel good in your body" Why body confidence doesn't require body change How diet culture and discomfort are tied together The power of calling out judgment in others (and ourselves) Replacing negative self-talk with facts and self-compassion Movement and nourishment as tools for feeling better The game-changing question: What would you do if changing your body wasn't an option?
