She is also an associate professor at Arizona State University.Key Takeaways from the Podcast- Andrea Donsky and Dr. Michelle May discuss their shared experiences of growing up in an era focused on weight loss, calorie counting, and dieting.- Mindful eating is defined as eating with intention and attention, focusing on internal cues of hunger, satiety, enjoyment, and satisfaction rather than external rules or restrictions.- Mindful eating is similar to intuitive eating, with both approaches emphasizing an "inside-out" process of reconnecting with the body's natural signals1.- Emotional and mindless eating are common challenges, often triggered by stress, boredom, or other unmet needs. Pausing to check in with physical, mental, and emotional states can help identify the root cause.- Strategies for mindful eating include:  - Pausing to check in on physical hunger cues, thoughts, and emotions before eating - Redirecting attention to other activities when not physically hungry - Exploring the underlying reasons for wanting to eat, such as boredom or stress, and finding alternative ways to address those needs - Using deep breathing to calm the nervous system before eating- Avoid using exercise as punishment or to "earn" the right to eat, as this can create an unhealthy relationship with food and movement.Visit Dr. Michelle May's website: amihungry.comDr. May's book series: Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat can be purchased on Amazon.Dr. May's YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MichelleMayMD Dr. Michelle May is a former family physician and recovered yo-yo dieter.

Frustrated at not being consistent with your diet plan? Are you still in that hamster wheel cycle of losing now and gaining weight later? Does it seem like an endless struggle for you? That's probably because the more you're attached to something, the more you get disappointed every time you fail. In this episode, Tina, an HPWL graduate, shares her experience of being so obsessed with her body weight issues that things magnify her struggles. She ends up frustrated, even with how hard she tried losing weight. But when she found out about Hypnosis, that's when things started transforming. For her, this is what freedom looks like -- choosing what is good for you because that is how your body feels about it. It's not about how bad or good the food is. It's making a decision based on what you want and what your body feels it wants and needs. It's about confidence in knowing you are better, even with or without it. "Just stop the craziness. It's so freeing and accessible to people that if you want to make the change, you can, and you just have to believe in the process, believe in the program, and find the means to do it. And, get out of that hamster wheel cycle, that diet mentality." - Tina VanDerwerker    What you will learn from this episode: 03:13 - Looking at her past weight issues and what led her to consider Hypnosis 06:01 - Sharing the experiences of how it was like going through a difficult cycle of weight gain and weight loss 09:01 - One particular session in the program that stood out for her 10:49 - It wasn't about the food; it was all about friendship and listening to your body 13:33 - Owning her love for her favorite soft ice cream and never feeling guilty about it 17:31 - What it looks like to have the freedom to choose to eat or not to eat anything you want 22:04 - Choosing things that are better for you because of how it makes you feel and not out of fear of anything 25:50 - How it's freeing to be the person who enjoys life and not be so attached to that 'diet' thing 26:53 - An important piece she took from the Hypnosis program   Connect with Tina VanDerwerker:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tinavsellsbeauty   Connect With Leslie Thornton: weightlossalbany.com E: Leslie@LeslieMThornton.com Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

Have you ever thought about your relationship with food? Do you ever take the time to truly experience the full sensory experience of eating, from the textures, to the smell and the taste of food? Many of us live in a culture which has shaped the way we see food and have forgotten how to eat like the animals we truly are. Many of us use food to celebrate, punish, distract, loose weight, gain weight, control, but have you ever thought about what it would be like to eat intuitively and be free from the constant thought of food 24/7?....

Babies are born with a natural, instinctive relationship with food. They eat when they are hungry, stop when they are full and don’t think about food until they are hungry again. Food is not a focus, it is simply fuel for their bodies.As we grow, we are inundated with tv, magazines, social media, etc., showing us the wonderful foods we could be eating and in the next moment, giving us unrealistic ideas of what we should look like and what we should or shouldn’t eat to achieve that. We worry about what we are eating, calories, exchanges, grams or points. We are using so much energy and time to attain an idealized version of what it means to eat healthy that we don’t have space left to enjoy life, which is the ultimate goal.Today I interview Dr. Michelle May. Michelle is a former family physician, recovered yo-yo dieter, and founder of the program, “Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Programs and Training”. found at www.AmIHungry.com. She is the author of the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat book series that teaches mindful eating to help individuals resolve mindless and emotional eating and senseless yo-yo dieting to live the vibrant lives they crave. You can download the first chapter at https://amihungry.com/chapter1. Mindful eating takes you back to the natural instinctive state you were born with, but it is not a one and done. It is a tool to use every day. Your understanding evolves as you use it.-Unconsciously incompetent: You didn’t know better-Consciously incompetent: You knew there was a lot you didn’t know but didn’t know what to do about it.As skills and tools are taught, you become: Consciously Competent: You can use the tools such as the hunger and fullness scale to help you decide whether you are hungry or not. You can then make conscious decisions according to where you fall on that scale. If you realize that you are not actually hungry, but you want to eat anyway, it is time to figure out what you really need and what else besides eating could meet that need. Eventually it becomes natural and instinctive like it was when you were a baby. Unconsciously Competent: You don’t have to think “Am I hungry?” You just know. Not everybody gets there. As you continue to practice you go back to your instinctive, natural relationship with food and only occasionally revert. When that happens, it is a signal that something is wrong, such as you need rest or have too much stress. You can go back to basics and take better care of yourself. - Weight is not a behavior. It is not subject to behavior modification. Mindfulness is not about weight or a number on a scale. It is about awareness and purpose. It is intention and attention. By bringing awareness to what you really want, and the choices you are making, you can make little choices every day that bring you closer to feeling more energetic, joyful and having a more balanced, vibrant life. If you were doing those things only to lose weight and you weren’t seeing a change on the scale you might quit. When you stop using the scale to see how you are progressing, you can tune in to how you are feeling. That’s what really matters. Hunger and fullness scale: On a scale of 1 to 10, rate your level of hunger and fullness. One is so famished you could eat a chair, 10 is so full you could pop. Five is neutral, not hungry and not full.This is a non-diet approach to help you recognize whether you are actually hungry and if so decide how hungry you are. This knowledge allows you to make your own decisions about what, when and how much to eat. When you feel like eating, pause and check in. What is your number? If it is less than 5, you get to make the decision about whether you are hungry enough for a snack or a full meal. If your number is a 5 or above it means the desire to eat came from somewhere else. Seeing food, seeing someone else eating it or feeling deprived of a certain food are big triggers for eating. It could also be an emotional trigger. If you recognize that you want to eat but aren’t hungry, you have a chance to figure out what you can do to take care of yourself. Two-bucket concept: One way to visualize mindful eating is to picture your body with 2 buckets. One holds all the food you give it throughout the day. The other bucket holds everything else you need, such as rest, fun, pleasure, comfort, companionship, connection and organization. When we think we are hungry we fill the first bucket. Many of those times we actually are hungry, and our body needed the fuel we gave it. But, other times, we are bored, upset, tired or emotional and we think we are hungry. So, we add to our food bucket, not realizing that we needed to add rest, or exercise or conversation rather than food. Our second bucket remains empty. We can end up the day with our food bucket overflowing and our other needs bucket very empty leaving us feeling full but unfulfilled. We are filling the wrong bucket. Michelle has stopped using the word health and uses well-being because we are entire beings. We need more than just nutrition and exercise. We also need emotional and spiritual nourishment. These are things that can’t be addressed by what we are eating. Mindful eating is a new way to think about food, a way to avoid deprivation and guilt. Diets are restrictive and unsustainable, leaving the dieter feeling guilty and disappointed. Michelle is on a mission to help people recognize and cope with their triggers for mindless and emotional overeating, to rediscover joy in physical activity, and learn how to effectively nourish our bodies, mind, heart, and spirit. It isn’t about eating less. It is about living more.

Michelle May, founder of the Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Programs and Training, and author of the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat book series, understands the struggles people have with food. As a recovered yo-yo dieter herself, she knows that going from one diet to the next can easily leave you frustrated and powerless. “When we restrict and deprive ourselves of foods that we love, we actually give them more power,” states Michelle. “Once we end up on some kind of eating plan or diet, we lose perspective. One of the perspectives we lose most quickly is why we wanted to make the change in the first place.” For most people Michelle May works with, the problem isn't the food; it's their relationship with food. Building your relationship with food helps you make better decisions not only with your eating habits, but with many other aspects of your life. Michelle confidently states that, “For many of us, mindful eating becomes a doorway into mindful living.” For over two decades, Michelle May has developed and taught a new way to look at food and eating habits. Her mindful eating programs focus on the joy of food. Michelle strongly believes that it's not only about eating the foods you love, but also about making connections with food. As you become more in tune with what your body needs, you are happier and healthier. Food is one of the keys to life success. In this episode, learn about mindful eating, and how it is one of the keys toward achieving not only your health goals, but also toward success in other aspects of life. Discover for Yourself: What is mindful eating? How has the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat book series been an influence for good over the years? Why is it often a struggle for people to focus on their eating? How can mindful eating act as a springboard to achieving other life goals?

About Bonny Primm: Bonny Prim lives in England and is a Health and Well-Being Coach Yoga Teach and Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher.   Like many women (and young girls), Bonny dieted for most of her life, starting at the tender age of 16!  This pattern continued throughout her adult life - trying to lose weight and signing up for the next new thing on the market, with its promise of lasting results and that it would be the answer to all her problems.  The trouble was they were not the answer, and instead lead me down a path of constant yoyo dieting, which took its toll on my health and my metabolism to boot!   Fast forward to 2011 when her body decided enough was enough. She couldn’t even lose weight by following these 'diet' plans and exercising, so she went to her doctor begging for help.   She was at the end of her tether, at an all-time low; eating to make herself feel better, then feeling fed up because she had put more weight on.   She was lucky enough to have an amazing doctor who really supported her and helped her to understand how to eat properly (something that previous ‘diets’ had never done) and do the right type of exercise as well.    To add to it all, she had to have a hysterectomy at the age 39 – knowing all too well what hitting the menopause is like and all the symptoms that come with it.   These experiences led to her passion to study as a Nutritional Therapist and Life Coach which now enables her to combine these skills to help clients who just want to find a way to break out of the cycle of losing weight and then putting more back on, to get control of symptoms they are experiencing, or to help with health concerns they have.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Why the yo-yo dieting lifestyle can be so harmful to us emotionally and physically, and how we can overcome this mindset to be healthier.   How life is so uncontrollable in our minds when we hit midlife. How we find solutions and how to we change our emotional wellbeing to live a healthier, more satisfying life.   Insight into how we can maneuver through midlife, and get beyond the “diet mentality” to overcome and be successful as we go into this phase of life.   Simple solutions to the hormonal changes as we go through menopausal changes so that we can live a more energized, healthy lifestyle.   Free Resources: FREE 1-hour life coaching or nutritional therapy session (available through her Website)   Connect with Bonny Prim: Website:  www.healthcoachingwithbonny.co.uk FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/Bonnyprimhealthcoach/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonny-prim-013409a3/     Connect with Lynne: If you are looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized & Healthy Women's Club.

Check out the details here: JulieDillonRD.com/LoveFoodSponsor This episode's Dear Food letter: Dear food, I can't stop snacking, and eating fast food. I have diabetes, and need to make better choices. Lately I'm in a heavy food eating, which leads me to be sleepy and inactive. My diabetes dietitian focuses on counting carbs, and I haven't counted carbs in years. I've given up and given in to the cravings. I've gained weight, watched my blood pressure rise, and my eyes fill with sadness when I look in the mirror and wonder how much over X pounds is on my 5ft frame. I actually feel afraid for my heart and all the extra work it has to do now while my weight continues to rise. There have been times when I actually enjoyed drinking "green drinks," and having my brain and body feel healthy. Grilling out, experimenting with recipes, yoga, swimming, and such. I know my food choices today make my vision blurry, blood sugar high, and cause me to make not so good decisions because my brain isn't as clear when I "exercise and eat right. " I want a strong body again. I want to find joy in a walk or kayaking or fitting comfortable in a booth having brunch with friends. How do I get back to that? How do I get back to wanting the healthy choices, the joy in experimenting with fruits, vegetables, protein, and fats in recipes? How with limited insurance and temporary employment do I find a good dietitian? Right now I feel like you food have won. You are keeping me hostage in a body that isn't strong, and makes me physically uncomfortable, and feeds my diabetes instead of my spirit. Lost my way & afraid for my life...

Aaron and Glenys dive deep in to a discussion on non-diet, HAES-based care for diabetes with Megrette Fletcher, MEd, RD, CDE. Megrette is a certified diabetes educator who provides non-weight-focused education for people with diabetes and pre-diabetes, and teaches other professionals how to provide this care as well. Founder of the Center for Mindful Eating, Megrette advocates for pleasurable, mindful eating and shame reduction to help manage blood sugars instead of restriction and weight loss. In this episode, she gives us a handy metaphor for understanding how our insulin works and how we can best help our own bodies utilize its insulin.

For some mindful eating is that thing they should do and never make time for OR it’s the next thing they hope will “work” to induce weight loss. My guests today Lilia Graue and Michelle May help unveil these myths and more in our conversation. They are both doctors, HAES informed practitioners and mindful eating experts. In this episode we will help those who aren’t yet big fans of mindful eating for well being enhancement (not weight loss) to give it a try. --- About Lilia: Lilia Graue is a physician and psychotherapist with specialties in mind-body medicine, mindfulness and compassion based programs, and eating disorders. She believes in compassionate care that honors our wholeness and brings us closer to radical presence, fierce embodiment and joy. She practices at the intersection of different healing modalities, centering your lived experience and your body as a source of knowing. Lilia's practice is rooted in intersectional feminism. It is trauma informed, weight inclusive and trans inclusive, and grounded in the principles of Body Respect, Body Trust® and Health at Every Size® (HAES®). Lilia is Mexican and provides services in both English and Spanish. She offers online coaching and support, in addition to her private medical practice. Follow Lilia: Mindful Eating Mexico | Fiercely Embodied | Facebook - Mindful Eating Mexico | Facebook - Fiercely Embodied A note from Lilia: Re-learning language is a process. After recording, I deeply regretted my use of the words "crazy" and "insane", and wish I'd said "absurd" and "nonsensical" when referring to what goes on in research on mindful eating and outcomes. May we all hold our mistakes in compassion and offer ourselves and each other patience with the learning process, as we continue to examine and challenge internalized bias and oppression on the path to liberation. About Michelle: Michelle May, M.D. is a recovered yoyo dieter and the founder of Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Programs and Training. Over 700 health and wellness professionals have been trained to facilitate Am I Hungry? programs worldwide. Dr. May is the award-winning author of the book series, “Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat” that teaches mindful eating for yo-yo dieting, diabetes, bariatric surgery, binge eating, and for students and athletes.

We’re honored to celebrate Luther Vandross and his musical legacy as well as raise awareness for diabetes health-related complications (such as stroke) on our annual Luther Vandross Tribute podcast. From Thursday, May 10 to Sunday, May 13, 2018 the Vandross Family Estate and Divabetic are presenting the inaugural Fandross Festival in New York City. Join us for the Fandross Kick-Off Party at Ashford & Simpson's Sugar Bar, Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton at the Blue Note, Fandross Festival at SVA Theater and Fandross Sunday Brunch. In the years since Luther’s passing, one constant has remained to define his life and musical success: the voice. Like any great singer of the past 100 years, Luther Vandross’ voice and distinct singing style led to not only monumental success, but an instant recognition when you hear him singing–through your stereo, car radio, on TV or in a movie. Coupled with that voice was Luther’s unique ability to write and sing about love and the shared emotions we all feel in that search for and enjoyment of love. Through his songs, for the last two generations Luther Vandross became a staple in the most joyous moments of people’s lives. Guests include 'Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat with Diabetes' Author Dr. Michelle May, Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE, R & B Singer Alyson Williams, ‘Here & Now’ Songwriter and Entertainer Terry Steele, Seveda Williams, Luther Vandross Historian Leon Petrossian and Luther Superfan John Price. Throughout the  podcast we will be featuring selected songs from the album entitled ‘Busy Body’ courtesy of SONY Music. On ‘Busy Body’, Luther Vandross’ third album features ‘Superstar’,  ‘For the Sweetness Of Your Love’, and the duet with Dionne Warwick entitled ‘ How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye’.

The transcribed episode can be found here. Episode's Key Points: Black and white thinking is a cognitive distortion. Real like, and real health, isn't like that at all. Being a weight-inclusive, fat-positive, non-diet dietitian is NOT an approach that harms health. Gastric bypass does NOT rid the world of fatphobia! The answer to this problem is a combo solution: to help people heal their relationship with food AND with their bodies. Part of this means healing the cultural fatphobia our world is currently struggling with. Megrette Fletcher joins us to talk about medical nutrition therapy! Moving away from a job that doesn't support our passions and values is an amazing step. The culture surrounding diabetes is super saturated by diet culture, and so moving out of the diet-centric paradigm in diabetes work is hard! Before insulin was invented, restriction was the only way we knew how to manage the disease. We need to pause and think, why are we so afraid of nourishing the body? When we teach diabetes from a Health at Every Size perspective, we address every body as an individual. We're ALL marinating in diet culture, and people who struggle with diabetes exist in a diet-culture pressure cooker. We don't cause diabetes as it's a genetic disease, but so much of diet culture blames the individual and individual food and exercise choices. Compassion is KEY for diabetes care, as there really isn't a cure and it's not a disease anyone asks for. It's a genetic condition that's VERY complex. The goal needs to be to nourish the body, period. Where our weight ends up doesn't matter! No matter what your body size, you need to eat! We need more food than we think, and we're allowed to nourish our bodies. Show Notes: Julie Dillon RD blog Link to subscribe to the weekly FREE Food Peace™ Newsletter.

Today on the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast, you’ll hear my follow-up conversation with Dr. Michelle May from Phoenix, Arizona that we promised to have in our first talk (episode 56 - in case you haven’t had a chance to listen to that one yet, I highly recommend it to you). Michelle is a former physician, mindful eating speaker, and recovered yo-yo dieter who founded the "Am I Hungry?" company that offers "Mindful Eating" programs and trainings. "Am I Hungry?" empowers people to end chronic dieting and overeating, and to get back a fulfilling life without deprivation and guilt. She is also the award-winning author of the book "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat". Based on the success people had with her first book, Dr. Michelle May wrote and published three more books: "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat for Diabetes", "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat for Binge Eating" and "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat for Bariatric Surgery". Her books, programs and retreats are all designed to help people increase self-awareness of beliefs, habits, thoughts, feelings and physical sensations, to finally understand why diets do not work, to discover simple yet powerful methods for knowing when, what, and how much to eat without restriction. Since finding her passion in helping people get out of their dieting traps, Michelle has retired from her medical practice to focus fully on sharing the mindful eating method. Along the way she has been featured on countless media outlets and publications, and her personal story is even featured in "Chicken Soup for the Dieter’s Soul". Today, you’ll hear Michelle talk about: – The "Eat – Repent – Repeat" –cycle – All the cases she hears where people tell her "Michelle, I love your idea to be able to love what we love and love what we eat, BUT I CAN'T, because ... " – Why she is convinced that everybody is able and allowed to eat without fear – What she wants people who are managing diabetes to know – What the common misperceptions are about food when it comes to diabetes are (often perpetuated by uninformed health professionals) – General myths about weight, food and eating in relation to diabetes – Myths about food and eating in relation to "treat" binge eating – How "mindful eating" could look like for people with diabetes – What she tells people who deal with binge eating – How "mindful eating" could look like for people who deal with binge eating – What she advises to clients who had bariatric surgery – How "mindful eating" could look like for people who had bariatric surgery – Why abstinence or elimination eventually leads to reactionary eating... ...

Download Episode! Hey there, lovely radicals... podcast time! This week on the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast, I get to talk to Dr. Michelle May from Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Michelle May is a former physician, mindful eating speaker, and recovered yo-yo dieter who founded the "Am I Hungry?"-company that offers mindful eating programs and training. "Am I Hungry?" empowers people to end chronic dieting and to get back a fulfilling life without deprivation and guilt. She is also the award-winning author of the book "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat" and, based on the success people had with her first book, Dr. Michelle May wrote and published three more books: "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat for Diabetes", "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat for Binge Eating" and "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat for Bariatric Surgery". Her books, programs and retreats are all designed to help people increase self-awareness of beliefs, habits, thoughts, feelings and physical sensations, to finally understand why diets do not work, to discover simple yet powerful methods for knowing when, what, and how much to eat without restriction. Since finding her passion in helping people get out of their dieting traps, Michelle has retired from her medical practice to focus fully on sharing the mindful eating method. Along the way she has been featured on countless media outlets and publications, her personal success story is featured in "Chicken Soup for the Dieter’s Soul", and it could well be that Michelle’s unique yet common sense approach will change the way we think about eating. Today, Michelle talks about: – How she felt in her body as a child – Why she though she "needed to go on a diet" when she was only 11 years old – How easy it is to market anything "weight-loss-y" to people, and what specific product her mother bought to "suppress her hunger" – How much we tend to keep believing the "weight-loss guaranteed"-products/programs because their advertisements is so convincingly designed, and at what cost that comes – What lies she bought into as she was looking for "the best diet" – How, as a physician, she sees behind the mechanisms of specific diets that falsely promise results – What "ketosis" really means for the body (!), and we should never override our body’s signals of distress – How many women get sidetracked by diets, and how much energy gets wasted in "trying to figure it out" – How different the world could look if women invested their energy into living fully, instead of perpetually chasing the "once I’m thin"-illusion – How women perpetuate the cultural oppression by comparing/diet-talking/body-shaming behavior – How she describes the "eat, repent, repeat"-cycle – Why never to fall for the "sugar/carbs are the devil" narrative – How to disprove the "you are addicted to food" narrative by digging one layer deeper – How to use the "Mindful Eating Cycle" and its brilliant questions to decipher your food behaviors – How dieting, food-obsessing, and a hyper-focus on weight messes with our natural "Mindful Eating Cycle" – How dieting/restriction is just as much a coping mechanism as eating is – Why stopping dieting/overexercising/restricting/overeating is harder than jumping on the next diet bandwagon – Why no company will ever sell you the message that "you can trust yourself" – Why empowering yourself works better than following rules in every case – How to stop proving your diet-beliefs right and start seeing how it was all set up to fail you – How, at first, the pendulum might swing widely, and how not to give up and keep trusting the process when that happens – How mental restriction has the same ramifications as physical restriction and how to combat restrictive thoughts – How to find out what unmet needs we might have that we are restricting/overexercising/overeating over – How not to demonize emotional eating and fall into the trap of turning Mindful Eating into another diet – What she learned in all those years of teaching her programs (and why „weight-management“ is not in her vocabulary anymore) – What she thinks about the way bariatric surgery is being marketed – What the misconceptions about the efficacy of bariatric surgery are – How to be there for someone when the "honeymoon phase" of the initial weight-loss after bariatric surgery passes... ... And so much more!

One third of people who seek out weight loss treatment are actually struggling with binge eating disorder. Pursuing weight loss actually makes bingeing WORSE! Healing your relationship with food is messy, but it's a beautiful mess, and it's worth it. What exactly does "overweight" even mean?? I say over what! Weight gain around puberty is COMPLETELY normal! But unfortunately we often shame girls for this. When the world tells us small bodies are valued and larger bodies are unacceptable, it lays the groundwork for the binge eating experience. Getting help can be the first step to peeling away the shame associated with bingeing. What's the difference between a "healing" relationship with food vs a "healthy" one? A healing relationship with food helps us walk away from the perfectionism and the black and white thinking around food. Kari Anderson from Green Mountain at Fox Run joins to talk more about binge eating! Sometimes we use food to try to calm our anxiety... and that's okay! You don't need to feel ashamed about it. Be compassionate to yourself instead! Trusting yourself around food again is a huge step towards healing your relationship with food. Food can have a sense of freedom, rather than fear. It is SO important to validate the role and the function of food in our lives... look at it as a coping mechanism that DID serve you, until it didn't anymore. We may even have to grieve our previous relationship with food in order to move onto the next version. We live in a world where we demonize our food choices constantly!! Our culture doesn't help when someone is trying to heal their relationship with food. We have to jump off the diet train!! The restrictive mindset CREATES the weight "problem." We should never limit the choices in our lives because of our weight! You have a choice in your eating behaviors.

Would you consider yourself a food addict? Do you find yourself trying to abstain from certain foods so you don't "lose control?" Are you unsure if food addiction is the right way to describe what you're experiencing? Listen now for some expertise on the latest research and find out more about the truth behind the food addiction model. Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. This episode is brought to you by Pursuing Private Practice Masterclass.  Ready to start doing things your way and kiss the corporate world goodbye?  Details here and remember the super secret discount code BOSS for 10% off. Episode's Key Points: Holidays like Easter and Passover can bring foods out of the woodwork that we don't usually eat! (Think: chocolate bunnies, Peeps, jelly beans.) When these foods resurface, because we haven't learned to make them "neutral" yet, it can feel like we're addicted to them when they're finally around. Our bodies don't need to rely on dieting to find health. In fact, dieting HURTS us, and it can lead to bingeing and an OCD experience with food. Eating is just like peeing!!! When you gotta go, you gotta go, and how much or how little you pee doesn't matter. But with hunger, there is so much JUDGMENT attached to it. So what if we took that judgment away? What if we treated eating just like peeing? They're both bodily functions that do just fine on their own without outward policing. So stop judging when you're hungry, or how much or how little you need to eat to feel satisfied! Eating is like peeing. Marci Evans joins to talk about her expert knowledge on food addiction research! Food doesn't need to have so much power!! You are NOT alone... your pain is individual, but your experiences with food are so common. What are the first steps to making peace with food when dealing with these problems?? Compassion! Challenging food addiction in and of itself The food addiction model is problematic and has many limitations! The term "food addiction" is very poorly defined in the research community. Most 0f the research has been done on animals, not humans, and the research that has been done on humans has had a LOT of mixed results. It fails to consider alternatives to the biological response to food that mimics drug use, such as pavlovian conditioning, the fact that food is meant to be rewarding, or the impact of restraint, restriction, or previous dieting on our pleasure reactions. Food is meant to be rewarding!! The pattern of restriction and restraint that then swings to bingeing can lead someone to think they're addicted to food... but that might not be the case! Bingeing is often a reaction to deprivation!! Current food addiction research does NOT account for restraint, restriction, or dieting history. Our natural biology REBELS against restraint!! So how do we move beyond the food addiction model? Remember you are not alone! Consider what "healthy" means to you, and make sure it's BALANCED and SATISFYING. Use resources to support your journey. Notice what's happening in your body instead of what's happening in your brain. Once we take the judgment away, we can really listen to what our body actually needs. Our body craves balance!! Remember, healthy eating includes satiety and pleasure! If you deny these parts of eating, you won't find a peaceful relationship with food.

You may have heard diets don’t work. You may also know that dieting can lead to eating disorders. Both are true. But how do you actually detox yourself from the allure of diets and weight loss if you struggle with self-acceptance? Kari Anderson says we have to practice mindfulness. It’s not “woo,” it’s the WAY. When you’re mindful to what is going on with your mood and emotions, you can make better decisions about what your body needs. Learn how dieting sets you up to eat emotionally and can lead to binge eating disorder. Kari shares her personal and professional journey to real health through loving self care.

We associate the word "skinny" with positive attributes, and the word "fat" with negative attributes, but these are FALSE TRUTHS fed to us via toxic diet culture. Erica Leon joins to talk about our cultural ideas around "skinny" and "fat," and diet culture overall. We often diet to feel in control, but inevitably it does the opposite and makes us feel out of control instead! This pain is so VALID, and our pain surrounding food and our bodies is so, so common. Perfection is not reality!! Using food to cope is an understandable reaction to trauma... but this means that we must tackle the emotional underbelly of our relationship with food. We must let go of dieting, begin to trust our inner wisdom, and understand that all foods fit! This process can cause a lot of uncomfortable emotions to arise, and so having additional mental health support is very important during this process. Dieting, disordered eating, and eating disorders have a function! They allow us to get through trauma, and we cannot discount how important these behaviors are in the context of our journeys. Therapy is such an important adjunctive piece of healing a client's relationship with food and their bodies, especially when working with a nutrition therapist who may not be able to support clients in that mental health capacity. Our relationship with food is about so much MORE than the food! Discomfort means you're GROWING!! Keep going... The first step of intuitive eating is to let go of the diet mentality. This can trigger the feeling of being out of control, and having the support of a dietitian in this phase can be super important! This is when we start to tune into our hunger and fullness, explore food in a new way, and observe everything with non-judgmental awareness. Feeling out of control with diets might be the first step away from diets... but this feeling does NOT last forever! Part of this process is rediscovering foods you may have not liked in the past, things you thought you loved that you don't like anymore, and just feeling it all out by asking yourself questions and reconnecting to your wisdom.

If you've always been on a diet or off a diet bingeing, then you can relate to this episode's letter writer. Do you yearn for a healthy relationship with food yet can't stop bingeing? Listen now for strategies to ease your mind and promote healing. Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. Key Points: Overweight = Over What?? What if no one ever told you your weight was wrong? How would you relate to food and your body? Important questions to consider as working toward healing. Healing can happen by honoring the valid functions and roles food plays in life and coping with life's transitions, stressors, and traumas. Healing also happens when we jump off the diet train instead of focusing on being on or off the wagon. Disembark now! Grief work will find a place in this space and that's ok. What if focused more on a healing relationship with food instead of a healthy relationship with food? Will be less all or nothing and pefectionistic tendencies (which helps no one experience health).

To live vibrantly, we must fuel our bodies mindfully—yet most diets are restrictive and unsustainable, leaving us feeling guilty and disappointed. Physician and recovered yoyo dieter Michelle May delves much deeper than the obvious advice to "eat less, exercise more." We’ll explore the six crucial decision points in your Mindful Eating Cycle™. Learn real-life strategies for eating fearlessly to nourish your body and fuel the fulfilling life you deserve. Michelle May, M.D. is a recovered yo-yo dieter and the founder of the award-winning Am I Hungry?® Mindful Eating Program. She is the author of Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat: How to Break Your Eat-Repent-Repeat Cycle (winner of seven national book awards including Best Health, Best Nutrition, Best Self-Help, and Best Mind-Body-Spirit book).
