This may be my favorite HOT FLASH to date! I review the normalcy of weight gain during perimenopause and why this change in body composition is generally NOT related to health. I explain the Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to health care and some tips and tricks for overcoming body shame/discomfort. NOTE: Lindo Bacon (formerly Linda Bacon) uses They/Them pronouns. I was not aware of the name change at the time of recording and apologize for not using the correct name/pronouns during recording. Also, Lindo Bacon is no longer associated with ASDAH as of this writing (7/2022).

Welcome to The Summer of Self-Love Series Part 1! This time of year we are bombarded with the sexiest new diets and the pressure to look perfect in a bathing suit both of are recipes for an absolutely miserable spring. We wanted to give you some different messaging this year.  How would it feel to love looking at yourself in the mirror? How would it feel to implement some new eating habits that were based on abundance and positivity instead of restriction and shame? How would it feel to be able to look diet culture in the face and say "Not this year!" ? It would feel AMAZING! We hope this first episode gets you on your way. Today we discuss the myth that going plant-based equals weight loss. There are so many benefits to plant-based eating and intuitive eating, but when working with us, weight loss is never our focus. Listen to find out why.  Resources this Episode: "Body Respect" by: Linda Bacon and Lucy Aphramor How can I work with Plant Centered Nutrition? One on One Coaching"Positively Plant-Based": the Online CourseIf you want to connect with Ashley, visit the following:Instagram: @plantcenterednutritionWebsite: plantcenterednutrition.usFacebook: Plant Centered NutritionIf you want to connect with Katie, visit the following: Instagram: @plantcenteredkatieWebsite: plantcenterednutrition.usFacebook: Plant Centered Nutrition

Does dieting cause weight gain? Are there "truths" we've learned about food and diet that may not be "true" after all? This interview with my friends Erin Todd and Char-Lee Cassel--hosts of the Intuitive Eating for Christian Women Podcast will open your eyes to a new way of thinking about food in light of scripture and the Gospel! Today we work our way through my questions and the big take aways from the interviews I've done with non-diet dietitians through the Fall. Char Lee is a registered dietician and exercise physiologist. Erin is an attorney by day and a food freedom fighter by night. Both of these women are passionate about helping others find freedom from diet culture, food obsession, and eating disorders. You'll want to take notes on what we talk about today. It's that good! Today we discuss: How dieting leads to weight gain. Correlation versus causation--why body size may not be responsible for health problems. What HAES stands for and how all the science means nothing without the Gospel. How using food to come with trauma may be something to be thankful for. What Body Image idolatry means and how it keeps us stuck in diet culture.

I *know* I'm supposed to care more about what my body does, but I can't seem to care less about what I look like… so what gives? Has the fitness and wellness industry swung the pendulum too far to the other side? We're so used to focusing on what we LOOK like, but the push in wellness towards focusing on what our bodies can DO might not be the cure-all it's been presented as. In this episode, we discuss body autonomy, how to start shifting the way you view yourself, and why body positivity might not work for you. Covered in this episode: > the problems with body positivity > why we sometimes prefer body neutrality > what ‘body functionality' means and why it's important > the importance of appearance AND body function > why ‘loving your body' is so hard > how to create your own definition of what is important to you when it comes to your body > what your core values have to do with all this > how to start attaching less importance to your appearance As always, any feedback, requests for future episodes or favourite dad jokes are all welcome!

In this episode Rachel Tuchman (LMHC) and I discuss the weighty topic (see what I did there?) on body image. Throughout our discussions, Rachel and I tackle navigating the intense food culture that accompanies Jewish holidays, setting boundaries with friends and matchmakers on what we should/shouldn't change about ourselves, and how to heal our attitudes towards body image. A really important episode on self love and acceptance, and what it means to truly be "healthy".  Resources: Follow Rachel on instagram: @Rachel_tuchman_lmhc Books Rachel recommends (and re-reads herself!) on the topics discussed in this episode: 1.

How do you acknowledge your past without letting it define you?   We all have beliefs, wounds, and traumas (big and small) from our childhoods and families of origin that can impact our thoughts and actions in ways we might not even realize.   Your story has been unfolding your whole life, absorbing messages from all around you that created patterns that influence your daily thoughts and behaviors–around food and in your other daily decisions–for better or worse.   Moving forward from limiting beliefs and old patterns and becoming your most authentic self takes understanding, awareness, and what best-selling author, speaker and life coach Andrea Owen calls “unlearning.”   Andrea explains how she healed herself from her eating issues, addiction, codependency, trauma, and other struggles that defined her past through a life-changing process of “unlearning.” This enabled her to become the confident, powerful, wildly successful woman she is today. Now, Andrea shares that knowledge far and wide to empower women to maximize their confidence, master resilience, and step into their power.   In this episode, you'll learn:   Ways to recognize your physical response to fear, shame, and other triggers How our culture can feed overidentification and obsessing over behaviors rather than working to change them The four steps of “unlearning” beliefs and behaviors that don't align with your authentic self A pivotal question to ask yourself that can shift your perspective   You'll feel inspired to release what no longer serves you and create a life that fulfills your true desires and needs.   For complete show notes, click here.   Podcast Partner: Pique Tea Use code ELISEM for a discount on your order!   Learn more about Andrea Owen:   AndreaOwen.com Make Some Noise: Speak Your Mind and Own Your Strength Make Some Noise Bonus Materials Make Some Noise Podcast Instagram: @HeyAndreaOwen Facebook: @yourkickasslife Twitter: @Andrea_owen Follow Andrea on YouTube Follow Andrea on Pinterest   Learn More about Elise Museles: elisemuseles.com Instagram: @kaleandchocolate Facebook: @kaleandchocolate   Resources: The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel Van Der Kolk, MD Dr. Brené Brown Health at Every Size, Linda Bacon

"There's a huge misconception that when we look at someone its an automatic indicator of how healthy they are"Welcome, Rachel Jones,  one of my former clients who is a stay at home mom of three.  Rachel was diagnosed with a Chronic Kidney Disease (IgA Nephropathy) at the age of 26.  She has also struggled with being overweight almost her whole life and when she met me, her main focus was to get the weight down.  What happened instead was to change her mindset around the obsession over weighing herself and the "number" on the scale.  Today, Rachel's kidney disease is in remission.  She has combined her love of vegan/plant-based cooking and photography after receiving a food photography scholarship.   Rachel is hoping to spread the message that plant-based/vegan eating is accessible, abundant and beautiful.  This is an amazing conversation that could have continued for hours.   It is an episode full of information and pearls of wisdom and Rachel's passion and enthusiasm are infectious.  I know you will love her as much as I do. Resources from this episode: "How Not to Die" by: Dr. Michael Greger, MD  "More than a Body" by: Drs.

I don't like treating weight loss. As a naturopathic doctor, my principles are to treat the root cause of disease, do no harm, and work with the healing power of nature. Most patients who want to lose weight expect to be put on a calorie-restricted diet and, frustratingly, calorie-restricted diets don't work. Most people enter a cycle of calorie (or carb, or meal) restriction, find the diet gets harder, they inevitably fall off the wagon, and "cheat", and then gain the weight back and more. This is why 95% of people who go on a diet, gain everything back and more in the subsequent 1 to 5 years. A yet even modern medicine conspires to recommend weight loss to patients with pre-diabetes, or diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hormonal conditions like PCOS. But, in the words of Linda Bacon from her Scientific American article "Fat is Not a Problem", "Telling people they need to lose weight is a lot like telling someone with a cold to stop sneezing so much—it may not be possible and won't make the cold go away." The problem is that, in order to lose weight, we need to get healthy---metabolically healthy. And now, because of diet culture, we often have to break through walls of stigma, shame, yo-yo dieting, poor relationships with food, and body image, in order to get to the core of metabolic healing, which works very differently from traditional weight loss methods, and may not result in immediate weight loss, or any weight loss at all, despite being beneficial to your body as a whole. So, I created a course called You Weight Less on the Moon, on my site The Good Mood Project (check the link in bio to join for just $34). This episode of the Good Mood Podcast gives you a sneak peak in to the first chapter, called "Why Diets Don't Work", as well as my story with body image, food, and dieting---it should be an interesting listen if you're at all interested in dismantling diet culture, and restoring metabolic health through root cause, guilt and shame-free medicine that honours your body's wisdom and hunger cues. About the course: The course contains 11 Chapters and 38 lessons, with mini videos, journalling prompts, and audio meditations and visualizations. It even contains a 40-minute yoga flow. We talk about body image, diet culture, and weight stigma Metabolism, set point weight, reverse dieting, and stress' impact on the metabolism Hormonal causes of metabolic dysfunction: cortisol, insulin, leptin, the thyroid hormones, and the sex hormones. Relationship with food: Intuitive and Mindful Eating. Body Image: self-compassion, body neutrality, and Polyvagal Theory The digestive system and lymphatic system Gentle nutrition, such as reducing inflammation and satiety building And embodied lifestyle practices for helping us develop more interoception to start improving our attention and attunement to the body's cues.

I’m joined again by researcher and former professor Dr. Lindo Bacon (they/them). In this very special follow up recording, Lindo and I reflect on our experience of recording part one. We talk about the power of letting go of perfectionism, connecting with each other from a place of vulnerability and the gift of feeling into our bodies during conversation. About Lindo: For nearly two decades Lindo has taught courses in social justice, health, weight and nutrition. They are also the author of Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, and co-authored Body Respect: What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, or Just Plain Fail to Understand About Weight. Their newly released book, Radical Belonging: How to Survive and Thrive in an Unjust World (While Transforming it for the Better) , takes their inspiring message beyond size, to shaping a culture of empathy, equity, and true belonging.

If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, I'd highly recommend that you head there first and hear that. Otherwise, this may not make much sense. If you've already listened to Part 1, then I won't keep you any longer and I'll let you get straight to listening to Part 2. Gem: Hi Lindo! Thanks so much for joining me again. Lindo: Oh, it's great to see you again, Gem. Gem: Yeah, and it's really nice to actually see you as well, rather than just to hear you because before we both said that was a bit disconnecting. Lindo: Right, right. Definitely, I think it's gonna be... it's so much easier to feel present when you can actually see somebody. Gem: Yeah, absolutely. And what we were talking about in between when we recorded the first episode, which was towards the end of December - I think was the 22nd of December actually - and this is kind of like a reflection part, I guess, where we had this experience and it's about what has come out of that. I found it a really interesting experience. I don't know how it's been for you. Lindo: Yeah, it has been quite a learning experience. I know right after we talked, I had felt a bit of disconnection in our conversation, and I felt awkward with you running the podcast for other people, because it just didn't feel like I was fully present in it. It just didn't feel like it was as powerful as it could be. And I felt a lot of shame for that. And so I contacted you and asked you not to run it and let me just be thoughtful a little bit about what was going on. And what was your experience when I contacted you and said that? Gem: Yeah, cos it was at the end of the recording wasn't it that we talked and you'd said that you were feeling a bit disconnected? And I think my immediate thought was, "Oh gosh, I've...

In this episode we discuss Health At Every Size. We delve into how the HAES approach differs from the weight-centered focus commonly seen in health and wellness fields, the issues that arise with focusing on weight loss and dieting, why BMI and weight are not indicators of health, how HAES is more than health behaviors but also a social justice movement and touch on some common HAES myths.

Caroline Dooner author of "The F*ck It Diet" joins the podcast to talk about food neutrality, body neutrality, and a feminist approach to diet culture. After 10 years of dieting, Caroline decided to adopt an anti-diet mentality and heal her relationship with food by allowing food, allowing rest, and she started a blog, which led to a book deal. We talk about her experience, and discuss lessons in loving your body and she's learned along the way.   "A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.” - Naomi Wolf     TOPICS INCLUDE   Why yo-yo dieting isn't good for you Food and your hormones The relationship between food and creativity Why allowing all food can be healing What happens to your body in a starvation and famine state Why we shouldn't be measuring anything by a 2000 calorie per day diet Body positivity vs body neutrality Body positivity and thin privilege Feminism and diet culture     SUPPORT HOT PIZZA ASS Leave us a review on iTunes!

 As a follow-up to listener feedback from the previous episode "Answer Your Body's Call" (Episode 103), this is the second discussion of food and body as it relates to mental health.  In this episode, Jenn and Audriannah discuss their personal experiences and global observations of what it is like to "be in our skin" during a public health crisis, as well as the resulting changes in our bodies, minds, and experience of food.  The ladies offer a deep dive into the problems of diet culture, including its racist roots, the restrict/binge cycle, and the inherent morality of food and bodies that perpetuates diet culture mentality.  Audriannah and Jenn discuss how to question the narratives of diet culture and develop a sustainable, healthy relationship with your food and body through the principles of intuitive eating.  Also, they drool over alfredo sauce.

Body image concerns are prevalent, so the question is how do we proactively fight against that pressure and foster a body sense of self and in doing so create a positive body image. Should we just stop talking about body image altogether, how far reaching are the consequences of a negative view on ourselves, what role does social media play and how do we change it for our children? We explore all this and much more with body image researcher Nadia Craddock.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/play-episode/id1428704212?i=1000427670685 A starter list of recommendations:Social Media Accounts@car_uwe@nadia.craddock@phillippa.diedrichs@emily.l.matheson@honeykinny@beauty_redined@maxineali@yrfatfriend@munroebergdorf@scarrednotscared@antidietriotclub@bodyposipanda@bodyimage_therapist@chr1styharrisonBooksShrill by Lindy WestBody Positive Power by Meagan CrabbeFearing the Black Body by Sabrina StringsHunger by Roxane GayThe Beauty Myth by Naomi WolfBody Respect by Lindo Bacon (published as Linda Bacon) and Lucy AphramorPodcastsAppearance Matters – the official podcast of the Centre for Appearance Research – with Nadia Craddock and Jade ParnellThe Body Protest with Nadia Craddock and Honey RossFood Psych with Christy Harrison RD See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kira Furie earned her BS in Biological Sciences and her BA in Dance, graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 2018. She spent time dancing professionally in New York City and is currently working on a research project with an Addiction Medicine MD based in Los Angeles, California. Her interdisciplinary background, personal experience with injuries, yoga teaching, and research have given her a specific interest in Integrative Medicine, which she hopes to implement in her future medical practice. On this podcast, Megan Hall interviews Kira about the series of injuries that led to her interest in physical therapy and later to medicine. Influenced heavily by the prevalence of eating disorders and the Health at Every Size movement, Kira discusses her current plans to bring prevention and wellness aspects to medical practice, while promoting a body-positive environment. She also describes “thin privilege” - an aspect of the current medical system that many of us take for granted.

We've all been in the situation where someone has said things like “you look tired” or “you look too thin – you need to eat something” or “have you lost weight? you look so good!” or the best of all, “are you pregnant?”. While most people mean well and don't have any malicious intent by saying any of these things, the reality is that words are powerful and when such things are said without knowing exactly where the person on the receiving end is at, it has the potential to be harmful and damaging. In many cases, these words leave a lasting effect that end up acting like a catalyst years worth of disordered eating habits.Here to bring a humourous and sarcastic spin on how we can respond to such comments productively is Summer Innanen – a professionally trained coach specializing in body image, body positivity and confidence. Summer works with women all over the world to stop living behind the numbers on their scales through her private and group coaching.

Moving your body is just the most natural thing, but when you are fat it gets layered with the need for it to result in weight loss. In addition the “exercise industry” which shows fit people get fitter and is not inclusive to larger sizes. As Ameya rants about gyms and waxes lyrical about boxing, Pallavi shares some research on exercise and weight loss as well as her own struggle with finding a movement that works for her.  Things we discuss in this episode: Linda Bacon's Health at Every Size Jason Fung's The Obesity Code Inspiring people we follow: @liftlikegaya3 on Instagram Movement suggestions that work for us: Rejuvenation Fitness Group Sivananda Yoga Metabolic Renewal by Jade Theta Figure 8 by Jaana

Food! Can't live with it; can't live without it. Jokes apart, our love for food is only biology, but the love-hate relationship we have with it is all society. We're bombarded by information and "science", and every 2 years the forbidden foods change. In this episode, listen to Pallavi talk some food and metabolism science, while Ameya discusses the age-old fat is bad for you theory. Plus: potatoes, pizza, fasting, feasting and more! Things we discuss in this episode: Linda Bacon's Health at Every Size Jason Fung's The Obesity Code Nina Teicholz's The Big Fat Surprise Article in the Independent Article in the New York Times

In today's episode, we'll talk set point Think of your set point like a natural mechanism your body uses to maintain a natural weight. Just like your lungs manage the appropriate amount of oxygen for your body without you having to do anything or the way in which your heart manage your blood pressure. Another fascinating analogy is how your brain automatically gets you back steady on a bike even if it's been 10 years since your last ride…it just happens without you having to think about it. Set point manages your weight in the same way. What is set point? In her book Health Every Size, Dr. Linda Bacon describes it as the Fat thermostat in our bodies. It acts just like a heat thermostat in a room. When set to a certain temperature, the thermostat will send a message to the heating system to activate when below a determined temperature. Your hypothalamus, the region of the brain that controls the system in your body that regulates your set point. It will send a message of hunger and fullness to manage your weight. This will make you think of the cookies in the cupboard and will also make you say no to the pizza when you're full. Our set point manages all the various components in the complex human body that create our body weight. Your set point is your ideal body weight, the bodyweight you manage naturally without food restriction, deprivation, over-exercise. Your set point is your weight between diet. The weight at which you can live a non-food or exercise-obsessed life. Set point is the internal system to maintain a healthy weight. An example... One 1970s research study showed that the average weight of a sixty-year-old man was only four to five pounds more than the average thirty-year-old man. That kind of weight maintenance is no accident and not the consequence of dieting either. Dr. Bacon has this very powerful example in her book Health at Every Size: “Just consider a fifty-year-old woman who weighs about five pounds more than she did when she was twenty. If she eats about 2,000 calories a day, over the course of thirty years she takes in about 22 million calories. Since five pounds of body fat stores about 17,500 calories, that means that her body was just .08 percent off in balancing energy in vs. energy out. This amounts to a difference of about 50 calories per month—less than the calories in one egg!” -Bacon, Linda. Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight (p. 12). Our set point is our natural weight and it can fluctuate during our lifetime. Currently, research estimates the fluctuation to beta between 10-20lbs. Set point fluctuates so it can maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis & happiness set point theory Homeostasis is the ability for the human body to maintain a stable environment is key to our survival. The magical ability that our body has to adapt to its environment given any condition is what is allowing to survive. This ability to maintain balance is what maintains a stable body temperature, stable blood pressure, stable level of iron, blood glucose, and yes, body weight. All of these biological systems are focus on maintaining homeostasis, aka balance, so we can survive and thrive in our environment. It goes beyond the human physical body. Homeostasis is also what creates your thoughts and your emotions. Your mind responds to its emotional environment as well. The happiness set point theory is almost similar as the body weight set point theory. It suggests that our level of subjective well-being is determined primarily by heredity and by personality traits ingrained in us early in life, and as a result, remains relatively constant throughout our lives. Our level of happiness may change temporarily in response to life events, but then almost always returns to its baseline level. For humans, homeostasis means survival and our body will do anything to bring us back to homeostasis so we can survive, including the dreaded weight gain. Identifying and manipulating your set point  Are you at your set point now? That's a very good question which unfortunately is not that simple to answer. How much fat protection your body requires (your set point) is the result of a complex interplay of genetics and the lifestyle choices made today as well as in the past.  You see, at this time we do not have a tool that will allow us to determine an individual set point nor do we have the knowledge on how to manipulate someone's set point either. The complexity of the human body and the number of elements involved in managing it exceed our scientific capacity as of today 2019.  So, to be clear sister, if you see a headline claiming to have the secret trick to lower your set point or what I have seen recently the 21 days set point reset detox… that 100% diet culture in action. It's a lie, fraud. It's just another gimmick from someone wanting to make money from your despair about your body weight.   What we do know is that if we want our body to settle at a natural weight that is effortless and healthy, we must make our brain feel safe. When the brain feels safe it will provide messages to the body that it is safe. Will you lose weight? We do not know… no one knows. But what we know is that health arises or is maintain in a safe physical and psychological environment.  Why is dieting not the answer  Dieting or over-exercising is not a safe environment for humans. Point.  The human body perceives intentional weight loss as a threat. That's why diets do not work. Your body will adapt to the starvation/ deprivation period during the diet with weight loss and as soon as you release the pressure of the unsafe environment (aka stop dieting or over-exercising). The body will come right back to your set point and in many cases higher to ensure complete protection from further weight loss threat.  What can we do? Based on all the current research, I'd like to suggest focusing on creating a relationship of trust and respect for the innate wisdom of our human body.  Foster a safe environment both psychologically and physically that you and your body can not only survive in but thrive.  The best place to get started is to educate and understand what could be perceived by your body as unsafe especially when it comes to food and body weight.  I would encourage you to get started by listening to episode 214 of the Going Beyond The Food Podcast right up to the end where I saver with you a tool to help you determine what could be impacting your set point. A free checklist and resource to get you started on your journey to trust & respect for your body.  Our guest expert for this episode 214 is Chris Sandel, a  UK-based nutritionist and the host of Real Health Radio.  Chris' approach to food and health is non-dogmatic. His areas of expertise are diet recovery, eating disorders, body image, hormonal health (fertility and thyroid issues), metabolism, habit formation, nutrition, eating habits, physiology, exercise, and movement.  What you'll learn listening to this episode: What is weight set point theory? In what way does the body determine our set point? How much do genetics influence weight? How does the body keep us at our set point? “calories in, calories out” is it true?

TITLE It’s Just a Cookie—Health At Every Size (HAES)   GUEST Marielle Berg, MFT   EPISODE OVERVIEW Marielle Berg, MFT, host of the podcast It’s Just a Cookie, talks about fat phobic language, body shaming, weight stigma and the false belief that body size is an indicator of psychological and emotional health. Marielle talks about the challenges of healthism, and labeling foods as healthy/unhealthy, which can result in compensatory eating. Marielle talks about the importance of having satisfaction and pleasure when eating, and learning to ask, “What am I hungry for?” We also talk about joyful movement vs. exercise and why this shift can be transformational.     HIGHLIGHTS Our culture uses fat-phobic language We discuss body shaming The language we use—fat overweight or people in larger bodies Often body size is used as an indicator of psychological or emotional health 98% of people who lose weight gain it back; if it was just about the weight, this number wouldn’t be so high Gaining weight is not necessarily due to poor self-esteem or trauma If dieting worked, we’d be thin by now 12-step programs talk about eating as a spiritual problem Compensatory eating is a reaction to restricting foods Healthism talks about what is healthy or not healthy. Some foods are off limits which can lead to compensatory eating In the therapy world often a fat client is infantilized, and it is organized around need and intake There is a false belief that we are all meant to be thin It’s ok to get comfort from food—maybe that’s chicken soup or birthday cake. Either is acceptable We need to ditch the diet mentality We want to look at intuitive eating With food, we want permission, satisfaction and pleasure How hungry am I? What am I hungry for? Intuitive eating is a process We want to look at joyful movement vs. exercise If you’re interviewing a therapist or a nutritionist you want to ask Is it weight loss or weight management How do they feel about weight loss You want someone who has a weight neutral point of view You might want someone who is certified in intuitive eating   GUEST BIO Marielle Berg is a psychotherapist and a coach who works with people healing from eating disorders, disorder eating and body shame through a Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating lens.     PODCAST HOST Patricia Young hosts the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive, and works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them to understand their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers. Patricia is passionate about providing education to help HSPs and non-HSPs understand and truly appreciate the amazing gifts they have to offer. Patricia works globally online with HSPs providing coaching. Patricia also facilitates online groups for HSPs that focus on building community and developing skills (identifying your superpowers, boundaries, perfectionism, dealing with conflict, mindfulness, embracing emotions, creating a lifestyle that supports the HSP, communication and more).   LINKS Marielle’s Links   www.cookierevolution.org www.bayareadbtcc.com   Podcasts— Food Psych https://christyharrison.com/foodpsych Dieticians Unplugged https://dietitiansunplugged.libsyn.com/ It’s Just a Cookie https://cookierevolution.org/podcast/   https://benourished.org   https://www.intuitiveeating.org/     Books-- Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth about Your Weight by Linda Bacon   Fat Acceptance   Anti-Diet: Reclaim Your Time, Money, Well-Being, and Happiness Through Intuitive Eating by Christy Harrison, MPH, RD   Body Respect: What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, and Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight by Linda Bacon and Lucy Aphramore   Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch     Patricia’s Links   Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com

Dr. Shelia Addison joins me to discuss her personal journey around body acceptance as well as her clinical work with folks in a variety of marginalized bodies.  Raised by a feminist single mother in the Midwest, Dr. Sheila Addison, LMFT was taught early on that women deserve equal opportunities. In her training as a Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Addison expanded her perspective on social justice to include intersections of gender, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, weight, and more.  She earned her Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Syracuse University where she developed and co-taught one of the first academic courses covering LGBT issues in family therapy. Currently, she heads Margin to Center Consulting which encompasses her private practice and supervision and cultural competency trainings for mental health professionals. She provides diversity and inclusion support, including the Ally Skills Workshop, to corporate, academic, and community clients. She lives in Oakland, California where her private practice, focused on couples and relationships, is also located. In 2018 she was named “Best Psychotherapist in the East Bay” by the East Bay Express. Show Highlights: Using anti-oppressive and feminist practices in her work The psychotherapy world still has a very conventional, very medicalized view of larger bodies Restricting, self-policing, denying and disconnecting from the body are all things that are encouraged in women and those assigned female at birth Her introduction into fat acceptance with the fatshonista blog The more images she saw of people in larger bodies the more her perspective started to shift in terms of how she viewed her own body A television show on ABC called “Huge” and how that show helped change what looked “normal” to her Helping clients view their bodies with more neutral descriptions Helping clients shift their “inner eye” when they assess their bodies How we view our bodies is relational and social Her clients teach her as well and this is her favorite part of being a therapist If your body changes, what else will you be self-critical about? Letting go of the fantasy of body change actually can help folks maintain health-promoting behaviors Health is multi-dimensional, rather than just being about what the scale says Asking yourself “How does it feel to live in my body?” The disability rights movement helps us acknowledge that not all bodies have the same access and potential People of color and black feminists theorists show us how body possibilities are racialized  Intentionally having images of higher weight bodies on her website Links & Resources Huge Shrill Big Fat Lies: The Truth About Your Weight and Your Health by Glenn A.

Welcome to another episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast.  We are talking all about our bodies and addressing a very important topic called Health At Every Size in this episode.   Today, I am honored to talk to Emily Cooper, a therapist who specializes and is so knowledgeable about health at every size, body positivity, body neutrality, and privilege. In this episode, we talk about whether there is a “right type of body” or a “wrong type of body” and how society and diet culture impact us and how we see our bodies. Emily Cooper addressed why Health At Every Size is an important concept that improves self-respect and self-love. Health At Every Size (HAES) is an inclusive movement that supports people of all sizes, weights, and body types in addressing health directly by adopting healthy behaviors.  Health At Every Size does not focus on weight as the sole indicator of health.  Being thinner does not necessarily make a person healthier or happier.  A “healthy body” aligns with more than one body type and across a wide range of weights. During this episode, Emily Cooper also addresses how our perception of our body can impact our everyday lives, specifically related to work environments, social environments, relationships, intimacy and life in general.  In her discussion about Health At Every Size,  Emily Cooper also addressed the concept of thin privilege and diet culture and how they impact our relationship with our body and other peoples’ bodies.    The goal of this podcast episode is to introduce you to the idea that you can start to respect your body today, no matter what size or shape.  Emily beautifully shared that her hope is to give us permission to not like our bodies but still learn to live our lives, not using weight or size to indicate your worth or ability to do the things you want to do.   For more information on Emily, visit: Instagram: @heyemilycooper  Blog: http://www.heyemilycooper.com/ Book References: Body Respect by Linda Bacon and Lucy Aprhamor Intuitive Eating by Linda Bacon

In This episode I talk my my friend Jessie about her journey of discovering and addressing her disordered eating habits after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She talks a lot about intuitive eating and how this has helped her. Here are a list of resources Jessie mentions in the podcast: Books: - Health At Every Size by Linda Bacon - this explains the science of metabolism and weight loss and why diets don't work as well as what diets do to our body on a physiological level. She then spends a lot of time discussing how fat phobia has prevented people in larger bodies receiving proper health care when a lot of their diseases are not even related to their weight - this book BLEW MY MIND! - Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch - also comes with a work book and would highly recommend getting both - The 8 Keys to Recovery by Carolyn Costing and Gwen Schubert Grabb - also comes with a work book but I would recommend reading the book first and then doing the workbook. - The Wellness Rebel by Pixie Turner is awesome for myth busting as well as The Angry Chef by Anthony Warner - The Fuck it Diet: Eating should easy by Carolyn Dooner - this book was one of my favs a quick read and so inspiring to stay on the track to having a better relationship with food Podcasts: Food Psych w Christy Harrison Don't Salt My Game w Laura Thomas Body Kindness w Rebecca Scritchfield Instagram: pixie nutrition thefuckitdiet kristamurias yourhappyhealthyrd laurathomasphdevelyntribole

Our guest today is Glenys Oyston, registered dietitian, and food therapist who co-hosts the podcast, “Dietitians Unplugged”, with fellow anti-diet dietitian, Aaron Flores.  Listen in as Glenys and Marielle talk about fat-positivity, body acceptance and eating intuitively instead of dieting. While we are all born with the ability to sense our internal hunger and fullness signals if you have a history of chronic dieting or disordered eating you may have lost touch with these signals. There is a way back and it involves patience, putting aside the desire to lose weight and connecting with others who are on a non-diet path.    Show Highlights: Fat isn’t inherently unhealthy, despite what we’ve been told We come in all shapes and sizes. Body diversity is a real thing! Trying to fix larger bodies is detrimental How disordered eating habits have become the norm Reclaiming the word “fat” as a neutral descriptor of a body size The words “overweight” and “obese” pathologize and medicalize larger bodies  Addressing eating concerns without a focus on weight The HAES (Health At Every Size) philosophy Intuitive Eating principles Eating disorders happen in folks of all sizes The myth that people put on weight as a protective factor How the fear of weight gain makes it harder to eat intuitively  The misconceptions of “Body Acceptance” Dealing with fat-shaming doctors and setting boundaries The risks of weight-cycling The importance of connecting to the robust fat-acceptance community online It’s actually ok to be fat   Links & Resources:  https://cookierevolution.org https://daretonotdiet.wordpress.com https://www.facebook.com/DareToNotDiet https://www.facebook.com/glenys.oyston http://dietitiansunplugged.libsyn.com Aaron Flores & Glenys Oyston Podcasts https://lindabacon.org/health-at-every-size-book/ - Linda Bacon https://benourished.org - offers programs, workshops, retreats, and e-courses for individuals looking to reclaim Body Trust® https://danceswithfat.org/blog/ - Ragen Chastain http://www.secretsfromtheeatinglab.com - Traci Mann

Welcome to another episode of the Soulful MBA Podcast! Inspiring us today is feminist marketing consultant and writer, Kelly Diels, who joins us for the next episode in our Women and Money series.   When we first came across Kelly’s website, we could not stop reading through her refreshing  body of work on the intersection of feminism and online business. What struck us in particular was her focus on women and their finances and her own personal story, which she shares with us today.   Kelly helps feminist entrepreneurs and culture makers sell to women without selling out by teaching feminist principles, including how they apply to marketing and other facets of business. She talks openly about controversial topics, including the false perceptions that exist around poor people and money.   As a busy mom of five kids and a thriving entrepreneur, Kelly’s story is motivating and her message is profoundly important.    Key Points from This Episode:     How growing up shaped Kelly’s relationship with money.   Dispelling the myth that poor people are “bad” with their finances.   The need for more narratives around stabilizing your revenues before attempting to scale.   Research that proves female entrepreneurs are incredibly capital resource efficient.   Teaching, coaching, and self-development as necessary skills for any culture.   Women filling in the gaps and doing uncompensated labor as a societal expectation.   Why you should charge someone for ‘picking your brain!’   Fast fashion and being more mindful with your purchasing decisions.   Shifting her business model after a family crisis required her to increase her income.   Raising capital and using credit to build a business.   Defining what the Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand (FLEB) is and aims to do.   Signing with a literary agent and writing a book about culture making.   Kelly’s tool for calculating your break even, thrive, and stretch numbers.   And much more!   Words of Wisdom: “There’s this idea that women are risk averse and not good entrepreneurs and they need all this extra training. In fact, we get to profitability faster and we are way more capital resource efficient.” — @KellyDiels [0:07:08]   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:   The Soulful MBA — https://www.soulful.mba/ Kelly Diels — http://www.kellydiels.com/ SheEO — https://sheeo.world/ Namastream — https://namastream.com/ PayPal — https://www.paypal.com/ Stripe — https://stripe.com/ Gloria Steinem — http://www.gloriasteinem.com/ Bell Hooks — http://www.bellhooksinstitute.com/ Adrienne Maree Brown — http://adriennemareebrown.net/ Soraya Chemaly — http://www.sorayachemaly.com/home.html Linda Bacon — https://lindabacon.org/ The Myth of Capitalism on Amazon — https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Capitalism-Monopolies-Death-Competition/dp/1119548195 Sister Citizen on Amazon — https://www.amazon.com/Sister-Citizen-Shame-Stereotypes-America/dp/0300188188 Audre Lorde — https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/audre-lorde       Joy: lemon oil / Donte Colley on Instagram / favorite mug Hustle: business spreadsheet

In this final episode in our series about weight loss vs well-being, Kori and Joe discuss the Scientific American article recently released and written by Linda Bacon, PhD. The marginalization of individuals living in larger bodies as a result of the anti-obesity campaigns need attention. The fat-phobic messages swirling all over the world are more than harmful-- they are oppressive and ignorant. And guess what? They don't lead to individuals taking care of themselves. In fact, shaming and blaming individuals for the size and weight of their bodies prompts its own set of health risks! What we need is dignity. That's difficult to offer ourselves in a world that vilifies fat, however, it is possible, and there are communities that make it a point to focus on self-care and health at every size. Kori shares a letter that a client of hers wrote to her own body expressing a desire for a different relationship-- one based in love, appreciation, acceptance, and shared values.

Are you familiar with the term Body Respect? What about Health At Every Size? Both are great books by Dr. Linda Bacon that I highly suggest you check out. While you wait for them to arrive from Amazon or before you go check them out from your local library, find out a little about what they mean and how they fit perfectly with my fitness philosophy, The Middle Ground Manifesto. The Middle Ground Manifesto has three parts: There is a middle ground. There is enough to go around. There is a time and a place for everything. None of the parts have anything to do with the number on the scale but everything to do with making peace with your body.

In episode six of the Food Confidence Podcast we talk to Leah Hackney, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition. Leah shares how she came to be an Intuitive Eating and HAES (Health At Every Size) -informed practitioner, and how she applied these philosophies when working in an in-patient setting at a Children's hospital. She talks about how she has seen weight-stigma show up in the clinical setting, and how parents and caregivers can advocate for the health of family members if and when a weight concern is brought up. We also talk about our own experiences in using positive food and body language as a way to help foster health and wellbeing. Finally, Leah shares some perspectives on the intersections of health and social justice, which we learn is can often be a factor that is overlooked in both individual and public health initiatives.
