Podcasts about mindful eating

Most eating plans fail for one simple reason: they were built for perfect conditions.Perfect schedules.Perfect energy.Perfect motivation.But real life isn't perfect — it's the wild.Hormones fluctuate. Kids get sick. Work gets heavy. Appetite is unpredictable (especially on GLP-1s). Decision fatigue hits right when dinner needs to happen. And suddenly your “plan” is gone.In this episode, Dr. Stacy kicks off the Habits in the Wild series by tackling food — and reframing why eating feels hardest when life is stressful.You'll learn:Why “falling off” your eating plan is a design flaw, not a discipline problemThe difference between food in captivity vs. food in the wildWhy protein works as a stabilizing anchor in chaosHow to stop restarting every Monday and build trust with yourself insteadThis episode isn't about perfect nutrition.It's about protecting one protein moment — and letting that be enough.

347: Ever feel like your stomach is reacting before your brain even catches up? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Will Cole to talk about what is really going on with the gut brain connection and why your stress, shame, and even childhood trauma might be showing up as bloating, anxiety, brain fog, or inflammation. We get into his newest book, Gut Feelings, and unpack everything from the vagus nerve to “shame inflammation,” plus how chronic stress can spike inflammatory markers like interleukin 6.  If you have ever wondered why you can eat the same meal on vacation and feel fine, then eat it at home and feel wrecked, this one is for you. We are connecting the dots between your gut, your nervous system, your past, and your plate. And trust me, it is all connected. Topics Discussed: → How does stress affect gut health? → Can shame increase inflammation levels? → What is the gut brain connection? → Does alcohol damage the gut microbiome? → How does childhood trauma impact autoimmune disease?

Send a textMost people think body image is about weight.It's not.Body image is about the story you learned about yourself — often long before you understood what calories or cellulite even were.In this episode, we explore:What body image actually is (and why it's not just about the mirror)How childhood experiences shape the way you see yourselfWhy we often perceive our bodies inaccuratelyThe emotional triggers that intensify body dissatisfactionWhy self-criticism doesn't create sustainable weight lossWhy even people who lose weight — including those using GLP-1 medications — can still feel deeply unhappy in their bodiesIf you've ever believed:“I'll feel better about myself when I'm thinner,” this episode gently challenges that idea.This is not about forced body positivity.It's about understanding the psychology behind body image — and learning how to stop letting it quietly run your life.Because your life is happening now.Not ten kilos from now.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe

In this candid patient interview, Taylor Hultquist shares her complete bariatric surgery journey one year post-op, revealing the physical, mental, and emotional transformations that extended far beyond the number on the scale.This episode covers the real, unfiltered experience of bariatric surgery including:Post-Surgery Physical Changes: Taylor discusses her weight loss progress, strength training routine, and unexpected non-scale victories like hiking without knee pain and jogging for the first time in years. She breaks down what recovery actually looked like and the physical milestones that mattered most.Mental Health Improvements After Weight Loss Surgery: One of the most significant aspects of Taylor's journey was the dramatic reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms post-surgery. She shares how her mental clarity improved and why the psychological benefits were just as important as the physical changes.The Importance of Personal Choice in Bariatric Surgery: Taylor emphasizes that the decision to undergo weight loss surgery must be entirely personal. She discusses how to navigate pressure from family members, set healthy boundaries around weight discussions, and advocate for yourself throughout the process.Mindful Eating and Body Awareness Post-Op: Learn how Taylor developed new relationships with food and hunger cues after surgery. She shares practical strategies for mindful eating, recognizing fullness signals, and adjusting to her body's new needs and limitations.Non-Scale Victories and Redefining Success: Beyond weight loss numbers, Taylor celebrates the smaller wins that transformed her daily life - from increased energy levels to improved mobility to newfound confidence in social situations. These victories became the foundation of her sustainable transformation.Setting Boundaries with Loved Ones: Taylor provides honest advice about communicating needs to family and friends, especially when it comes to unsolicited weight loss advice or commentary. She discusses how setting clear boundaries protected her mental health during a vulnerable time.Strength Training and Physical Activity Post-Surgery: Discover how Taylor incorporated strength training into her routine and why building muscle became a priority. She shares her approach to exercise that focuses on feeling strong rather than just losing weight.This patient success story offers valuable insights for anyone considering bariatric surgery, currently in their post-op journey, or supporting a loved one through weight loss surgery. Taylor's transparency about both challenges and triumphs provides a realistic perspective on what life looks like after this major medical decision.Whether you're researching gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or other bariatric procedures, this conversation covers the topics that matter most: mental health support, realistic expectations, lifestyle changes, body image struggles, and the ongoing process of self-improvement after surgery.Connect with Pound of Cure Weight Loss Podcast: New episodes released weekly featuring expert interviews, patient stories, and evidence-based weight loss strategies from Dr. Matthew Weiner and registered dietitian Zoe.For more information about bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, nutrition counseling, and sustainable weight loss approaches, visit our practice or check out previous episodes on metabolic health, set point theory, and medical weight loss options.Visit our website.Vote for Linda Jones to be on the cover of Ms. Health & Fitness 2026 here.

In this final episode of the SugarFreeMD After Dark series, Dr. Stacy answers the most common—and most honest—questions women ask about sex, desire, and intimacy in midlife.If you've ever wondered:Is it normal to love my partner but not want sex anymore?Why does sex hurt now when it never used to?Why am I never thinking about sex unless someone brings it up?Is it normal to need lube every time?Why do I feel so self-conscious about my body all of a sudden?…you are not alone—and nothing is “wrong” with you.In this candid Q&A, Dr. Stacy breaks down what's actually happening with hormones, tissue changes, desire shifts, body image, and nervous system stress during perimenopause and menopause. She explains why spontaneous desire often disappears, why responsive desire is normal, and how planning intimacy can actually protect connection—not ruin it.This episode is educational, empowering, and real. It's not medical advice, but it will give you the language and confidence to have better conversations with your doctor and your partner.⚠️ Not G-rated.

Send a textWhat happens when weight loss becomes… easy?In this candid conversation, I sit down with a fellow therapist and friend Lucy Cavendish who has been taking Mounjaro (a GLP-1 medication) and has experienced significant weight loss. We explore the undeniable benefits of these injections — reduced appetite, quieter food noise, and the relief of finally seeing the scale move.But we don't stop there, we ask the deeper questions:What role did emotional triggers play in the weight gain to begin with?What happens when the injections stop?Can changing your body change how you feel about yourself?And how do we prevent old coping mechanisms from creeping back in?This episode isn't anti-medication. It's about integration.GLP-1s like Mounjaro can be powerful tools. But sustainable change often requires understanding the story behind the weight — the stress, grief, trauma, burnout, habits, identity shifts — and making sure those triggers aren't waiting quietly in the background.If you're considering these injections, currently taking them, or navigating weight loss while working on your relationship with food and your body, this episode will help you think beyond the scale.Because sometimes losing weight is the easy part.Understanding it is the real work.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe

In Part 2 of the Sugar-Free MD After Dark series, Dr. Stacy continues the honest, no-fluff conversation about sex, desire, and hormones as women age.This episode goes beyond the hype and misinformation online and breaks down what hormones actually do, what they don't do, and how to use them safely—especially when it comes to painful sex, low desire, perimenopause, and menopause.You'll learn why dryness and discomfort are normal anatomical changes, how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone each play different roles, and why “more hormones” is not better. This is educational, candid, and meant to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident having conversations with your partner and your doctor.⚠️ Not rated G.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about the C-C-C, which stands for Catch, Challenge, Change. Do your negative thoughts secretly sabotage your health goals? When that inner voice says "you're too busy," "you have no willpower," or "you've failed again," is it telling the truth or just repeating old patterns that hold you back? Jenn introduces a practical mental tool to interrupt the defeating thought loops we all experience on our wellness journeys. But here's the real question: are you actually too tired for that workout, or is something else going on? Could the "evidence" of failure actually be hiding signs of progress you're refusing to see? Jenn breaks down how to catch these negative thoughts in action, challenge the beliefs behind them, and ultimately transform your inner dialogue. But the approach might surprise you. Is it really about being "1% better every day," or is there a more realistic way to build mental toughness without the pressure? Like what you're hearing?

What if nothing is “wrong” with you… your body is just changing?In this first episode of a three-part series, Dr. Stacy dives into a topic most women were never taught about: how desire and arousal actually work as we age — and why so many women feel confused, broken, or disconnected when things change.This conversation was inspired by a recent live event for Sugar Free MD After Dark, where women asked honest, powerful questions about sex, intimacy, and what's normal in midlife. Spoiler: a lot of what you're experiencing is completely normal — and fixable.In Part 1, Dr. Stacy breaks down:The difference between spontaneous vs. reactive desire (and why spontaneous desire naturally fades)Why arousal doesn't always start in your head anymore — and why that's okayThe 5 domains that influence sexual desire (physical, mental, relational, cultural, and environmental)How stress, mental load, sleep, medications, and body changes impact libidoWhy pressure kills desire — and how desire mismatch affects relationshipsHow emotional discomfort can drive overeating and impact weight lossWhy planning intimacy doesn't make it “fake” — it makes it possibleIf you've ever thought:“I love my partner, but I don't feel like I used to”“Something must be wrong with my hormones”“Why do I never want sex anymore?”This episode will help you understand what's really going on — without shame, hype, or oversimplified answers.

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, host Liv Hill discusses the importance of food tracking as a foundational tool for intuitive eating. She emphasizes that tracking is not a permanent solution but a means to build awareness and understanding of one's body and nutritional needs. The conversation explores the relationship between health and fat loss, the benefits of tracking, and the distinction between triggers and discomfort in the context of food tracking. Liv encourages listeners to reframe their perspective on tracking as a valuable feedback mechanism rather than a restrictive practice.

Send us a textBurnout isn't about weakness or poor coping — it's a response to too much, for too long. This episode looks at how burnout develops, how to spot it early, how it affects mental and physical health, and how it often intersects with people-pleasing, caregiving, and control around food or the body. We'll also talk about recovery — and how burnout can become a catalyst for meaningful change.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe

We all want to eat healthier, but it's not always as easy as it sounds. When you walk into a grocery store, how can you know what to buy and what to skip? We can't always make gourmet meals when we have 30 mins to make something healthy happen. Yet we know that the food we eat has a meaningful impact on our overall health and reproductive function. This is why we've invited Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Chandis, to join us to talk about the simplest approach to eating as close to nature as possible. She talks about real snack options, easy meal templates, and how to tackle the grocery store. We hope this super practical episode is helpful to all!NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.GUEST BIO: Chandis is a registered dietitian nutritionist and homeschooling mom of three who is passionate about teaching families how to nourish their bodies well.

Feeling overwhelmed by clutter—but also overwhelmed by the idea of getting organized?You're not alone.In this week's Coffee Talk, I'm joined by professional organizing coach Tracy Hoth, who's been helping people get organized for over 17 years.

Because life isn't about looking perfect; it's about finding your WHY and creating real, sustainable change.If you've ever wanted someone to break down nutrition for your REAL LIFE, help you shut down that diet noise, and remind you there's no one “right” way—we're here to help you find it!xoxo,JackieConnect with Abbey: 

If you have ever set a goal you truly cared about... only to watch yourself slowly drift away from it, this episode is for you. In today's episode, Dr. Stacy breaks down why most goals fail — and it has nothing to do with motivation or discipline. The real problem? We set big goals without anchoring them to identity, we expect perfection, and we plan for an ideal life that does not actually exist.This episode walks you through a simple, repeatable goal system designed for real life — busy schedules, low-energy days, emotional weeks, and a brain that does not love change.You will learn:Why motivation is not the missing ingredient (and what actually is)How to set goals based on who you are becoming — not who you think you “should” beWhy big goals need tiny, realistic steps to actually workHow to make your goals specific, measurable, and doableThe most common obstacles that derail goals (time, energy, emotions, and your brain)How to plan for obstacles using the “When X happens, I will do Y” frameworkWhy “bare minimum” plans are the secret to consistencyHow to check in, adjust, and keep going — without all-or-nothing thinkingThis is not about perfection.This is not about willpower.And it is definitely not about starting over every Monday.It is about building identity-based goals, planning for real life, and creating habits that actually stick — all the way through 2026.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about AND. What if the secret to achieving your 2026 health goals isn't about choosing between this OR that, but embracing this AND that? Jenn challenges the pervasive binary thinking that dominates diet culture—the "eat this, not that" mentality that's been marketed to us for years. But can we really have high protein AND high fiber, enjoy nourishing meals AND joyful treats, pursue professional success AND personal wellness? Jenn explores how the power of "and" might transform not just our relationship with food, but our entire approach to health, relationships, and even conflicting ideas. Is it possible to hold two seemingly opposite truths at the same time, or are we destined to choose sides? What does Jenn really think about finding balance in a world that demands we pick a lane?

In this episode, Dr. Stacy Heimburger discusses the importance of setting intentions for the new year by focusing on identity rather than just actions. She emphasizes the need to build a foundation of identity to support habit formation and introduces the concept of a focus word as a guiding principle for personal growth. The conversation also highlights the significance of community support in achieving goals and encourages listeners to reflect on their values and desired identity for the year ahead.Key Takeaways:We often fail at habits because we skip building a foundation.Changing our identity is crucial for lasting change.Focus on who you want to become, not just what to do.A focus word can help guide decisions and actions.There is no deadline for making positive changes.Community support can enhance personal growth efforts.Visualizing your future self can clarify your goals.Small, incremental changes can lead to significant growth.Your focus word acts as a filter for opportunities.You don't have to navigate this journey alone.Join Kickstart 2026!  www.sugarfreemd.com/kickstart2026Free 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

Send us a textHoliday Eating Without Guilt: A New Way to Navigate the HolidaysThe holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for so many women, they come with food guilt, stress, and the pressure to “be good” around food.In this episode, I'm breaking down why holiday eating feels so hard, and why the stress you feel around food isn't a personal failure it's a predictable response to restriction, pressure, and outdated nutrition rules.I walk you through what I call the holiday diet trap: the cycle of restriction, overeating, guilt, and shame that shows up every year, and explain why trying to control food more actually leads to less control.We talk about how holiday stress impacts your physiology, your appetite, and your food choices, and why mindful eating isn't about willpower, it's about creating safety, presence, and freedom around food.This episode is a call to shift from restriction to nourishment, from fear to trust, and from guilt to an abundance mindset so you can enjoy holiday food, feel good in your body, and stay connected to what actually matters.If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through holiday eating, this episode will change how you approach food —not just during the holidays, but for good.Why wait until January 1 to feel better?

December is basically a holiday obstacle course — and if you're feeling like your routines are slipping through your fingers, this episode is your safety net.

Welcome to another "Monday Morning Brew" Series! Today we're diving into a topic that affects all of us this time of year: healthy eating during the holidays. The season is full of joy, connection, and... let's be honest, lots of food. But how do we enjoy it all without feeling weighed down? Let's explore 5 practical tips.Tip 1: Don't Skip Meals Before the Big Feast. Skipping meals often backfires, leading to overeating later. Instead, eat a balanced breakfast or snack with protein and fiber to stabilize your appetite. For Example: Greek yogurt with berries or a handful of almonds.Tip 2: Prioritize the “Stars ” of the Table. Fill half your plate with vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. This ensures you enjoy holiday favorites without crowding out nutrient-rich foods. Think roasted veggies, turkey, or quinoa salad before diving into desserts.Tip 3: Practice Mindful IndulgenceDon't forbid holiday treats—savor them slowly. Mindful eating helps you enjoy food more and prevents overconsumption. So definitely enjoy the pies, but make it a conscious choice, not a mindless habit.Tip 4: Hydrate Before You CelebrateThirst is often mistaken for hunger. Drink water throughout the day and have a glass before meals. This reduces unnecessary snacking and balances alcohol intake.Tip 5: Balance Indulgence with Movement. Pair festive eating with light activity: a family walk, dancing, or holiday shopping laps. Staying active helps digestion and keeps energy levels steady.Overall, remember, the holidays are about joy and connection. Healthy choices help you feel goodenough to enjoy every moment. Sending you all big love from mi familia to yours!TEAM LTP:Voice-over credits
