Podcasts about mindful eating

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?

Before we leave you at the end of the year, we wanted to talk about some top mistakes that Sandra sees her clients make when they are trying to improve their health. We know that many people like to start the new year with some healthy habits and may be seeking a new diet instead of behaviour change to improve their health. Will you be starting a new diet? This is one of the top mistakes that we see for people wanting to make changes to their health with food.Other top mistakes and ways to help with lifestyle changes are discussed on this episode.Episodes referenced, include:Ep 185.

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why the stress you feel around food isn't a personal failure it's a predictable response to restriction, pressure, and outdated nutrition rules.I walk you through what I call the holiday diet trap: the cycle of restriction, overeating, guilt, and shame that shows up every year, and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?

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

This episode breaks down mindful eating in a way teens and young adults can use in their everyday lives — and during the holidays when stress, emotions, and food are everywhere. Dr. Michelle May joins Leslie to explain why typical “outside-in” rules (counting, restricting, avoiding “bad” foods) actually fuel guilt, cravings, and feeling out of control, and what to do instead. You'll learn: • How to use the Mindful Eating Cycle (the six decisions behind every eating moment) • The difference between being in control vs. in charge • Why teens lose trust in their hunger cues — and how to rebuild it • How emotional triggers, boredom, stress, and scarcity sneak into our eating • What balanced eating really looks like during holidays, school, sports, and real life. This conversation helps you ditch the guilt, tune into your body, and make eating decisions that actually feel good.   Get the first chapter of Dr. May's book here:  https://amihungry.com/programs/mindful-eating-for-students/ Simply fill out the box on the right side of the webpage to download chapter 1.   Like this episode?

Send us a textHoliday gatherings can feel like emotional minefields, and we know how easy it is to slip into using food as a buffer when old wounds or tense dynamics resurface. In this episode, we talk honestly about how we're learning to stop hiding behind food and instead respond with wisdom, calm, and compassion. We reframe emotional eating as a short-term comfort that limits long-term growth, and then share a practical toolkit we use ourselves: crafting truth lists that anchor identity, setting healthy boundaries, and deciding food choices ahead of time so we don't collapse under decision fatigue. When tensions rise, we lean on simple breath prayers, quick pauses, and moments of presence that let grace shape our responses instead of our triggers.We also walk through our “look and learn” practice—an honest, shame-free way to reflect after a gathering and carry forward what actually helped. Scripture grounds every step for us: Romans 12:18, Psalm 139, Proverbs 4:23, Isaiah 26:3, and Colossians 3:15 remind us that peace is possible, even in difficult dynamics. We share real stories of setting boundaries, planning supportive conversations, and checking in with God throughout the day. When we choose presence over perfection and truth over people-pleasing, both our relationships and our food choices align more closely with who we are in Christ.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Nutritionist and host Chris Newport breaks down why holiday food comments and food pressure are so common—and why they're usually not actually about you.You'll learn:The real reasons people comment on what you are (or aren't) eatingHow family traditions, insecurity, and “food as love” show up at the tableSimple, kind, and clear scripts to respond to:“That's all you're eating?”“Come on, it's the holidays!”“You're no fun tonight.”“Look at you being all healthy.”How to set boundaries without creating dramaA mindset reset you can use before you walk into any holiday mealYou deserve holidays filled with connection—not commentary on your plate.

Send us a textPerfection cracks fast during the holidays—one party, one plate too many, one “I blew it” moment—and shame rushes in. In this episode, we take that story back. We talk about why God doesn't turn away when we stumble with food, and how His Word re-frames failure through compassion and truth. Psalm 103 and Psalm 32 remind us that God meets us in honesty, not disappointment. We also look at Colossians 2 and Titus 2 to see that grace isn't a pass—it's a teacher. Grace trains us toward self-control and peace, not through rules, but through relationship with the One who knows our hearts.We share our “holiday failure truth list” as a simple, powerful way to interrupt shame in real time: no condemnation in Christ, not disqualified by struggle, and this is not the end of the story. We walk through how to record your own truths, how to return to God quickly after a stumble, and how to learn from the moment without judgment. At the center of it all is identity—knowing who God is and who we are in Him changes everything. When we live from that truth, recovery comes faster, our choices grow gentler, and joy stretches far beyond the season.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textThe holidays can bring pressure from every side—food, family, spending, and the expectation to keep it all together. In this first episode of our Holiday Survival Guide series, we're preparing our hearts before the holiday rush begins. Together, we're learning to trade perfection and willpower for peace, presence, and a deeper connection with God. Instead of pushing through on autopilot, we're asking better questions: What happens when we invite God into our expectations, our meals, and our emotions? How might a renewed mind shift the way we eat, love, and show up this season?We also share five intentions of Spirit-led eating that act like gentle guideposts: waiting for true hunger, inviting God into every meal, choosing just-right portions, creating peaceful eating moments, and stopping at “just enough.” Along the way, we offer practical tools that actually fit real life—truth lists for gatherings, praise breaks in the car, and quick mind-renewal moments amid errands. Underneath it all is freedom: food is a gift, not a savior, and growth matters more than perfection. We're practicing grace, “failing well,” and choosing the better feast—wisdom, peace, and joy that lasts long after the decorations come down.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Hay frases que repetimos casi sin darnos cuenta… “Soy antojada.” “Soy débil con el pan.” “Yo no puedo resistirme al chocolate.” Y aunque parecen inofensivas, esas palabras crean identidad. Tu cerebro no distingue entre una broma y una orden: cada vez que te defines así, tu mente busca confirmarlo y tu cuerpo obedece. En este episodio, te invito a detenerte un momento y observar cómo el lenguaje con el que te describes puede estar sosteniendo la historia que quieres soltar. A través de ejemplos cotidianos, descubrirás que cambiar lo que dices y cómo te lo dices, es mucho más poderoso que cualquier dieta o plan de fuerza de voluntad.

Breaking news! Contrary to popular belief, mindful eating doesn't come with a side of perfection. Reports confirm it's not all slow bites, dim lighting, and quinoa salads — sometimes it's grabbing the convenient option because you're tired, or choosing comfort food because that's what your body needs. Today on The Forkcast, we're redefining what mindfulness actually looks like on your plate: no rules, no judgment, just awareness, compassion, and a forkful of real life.
