This episode may be for you even if you never identified with eating disorders in menopause or at any age. Eat clean? Read labels twice? Following “rules” about food yet find it backfiring on you?  One could shift from wanting to “eat clean” to turning into orthorexia, influenced by social media, intermittent fasting and use of Smart Scales. Do you think you have an eating disorder in menopause, or maybe a loved one? Tune in to this episode!   My Guest: Amy Goldsmith, RDN, LDN, is the founder of Kindred Nutrition & Kinetics, a private practice that provides evidence-based medical nutrition therapy in Sports Nutrition and Eating Disorders/Disordered Eating. With over 25 years of experience in Sports Nutrition and Eating Disorder expertise, Amy is an expert in understanding the human body's biochemistry and works collaboratively with each client's performance and clinical care team to help them reach their health and wellness goals.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:13:50] What is orthorexia? [00:07:26] Menopause brings hormonal swings, how often do you see menopausal patients experience an eating disorder for the first time? Or is it mostly women who have a history of disordered eating? [00:09:25] Does the overload of “wellness experts” in social media create confusion and fear of foods we need, particularly for women in midlife? How do you help them find the real truth about what to eat? [00:35:53] How easy is it to slip from “I just want to eat healthy” into orthorexia? What are the red flags when healthy eating turns into an unhealthy obsession? [00:19:07] Where do you begin working with someone who is ready so that it is non-threatening and non-judgmental?   From Wellness to Obsession: Are You Facing Eating Disorders in Menopause?   What is Orthorexia? Obsession with “clean” or restricted eating. Can also be the illusion of control and safety from disordered eating behaviors. Red flags: compulsive food thoughts, social withdrawal, avoidance. Average recovery time: 7 years but change begins with addressing small, meaningful issues.   Things to look out for: Social Media Fuels body comparison, diet fads, and misinformed health behaviors. Intermittent Fasting Dangers of fasting: sarcopenia or muscle loss, disordered behavior. May be harmful, especially in active midlife women prioritizing muscle preservation. Smart Scale and Body Composition Fixation on scale weight despite fitness improvements like muscle gain and inch loss. Pro: tracking lean mass. Con: can trigger obsession or shame.   Key Takeaways Eating issues in midlife are common – due to stress, hormones, and unresolved issues from earlier life. Orthorexia is an obsessive focus on healthy or clean eating that can be dangerous and restrictive. Early intervention is key – it only takes two weeks of obsession to begin disordered patterns. Not all RDs are the same – find one trained in eating disorders for effective help.   Connect with Amy: Amy's Website - Kindred Nutrition Facebook - Kindred Nutrition Instagram - @amygoldsmithrd    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause Next Episode - Save Your Knees and Shoulders Without Surgery More Like This - How Emotional Eating Can Be the Hidden Reason for Weight Gain Resources: Join Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® to become a coach!

By guiding women to listen to their bodies and nourish themselves without stress or deprivation, Jodie helps them rediscover wellness and confidence during a transformative stage of life.About Linda:Have you ever battled overwhelming anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, soul fatigue or stress? It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We've all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact. A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply. My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don't love yourself, how can you love anyone else? Join a call for love.

Simon Hill, nutritionist, physiotherapist, and host of The Proof podcast, joins us in the Academy of Imperfection to break down whether the latest dietary trends on social media actually match up with nutrition science. In this episode, Simon unpacks the role of both genetics and lifestyle choices in shaping our health, and specifically our risk of disease. Acknowledging the pressure, and sometimes shame, that comes with chasing the ‘perfect’ diet, Hugh, Ryan, and Josh discuss how to encourage kids to build positive relationships with food, and the incredible significance of ‘joy’ and ‘human connection’, that occurs when we get together to eat. And then, of course, we play Simon Says and bust some food-myths about supplements, plant protein, and whether breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Simon, thank you for all that you says.

In this episode, Alyssa and Nadia Herrera discuss modern food trends, gut health, and the impact of social media on eating habits. They explore how nutrition messaging has evolved over generations, from the low-fat craze of the past to today's protein-focused and gut health movements.The conversation also dives into the dangers of social media influence on eating behaviors, including orthorexia (an obsession with "clean eating") and the rise of influencer-driven food trends. With brands, influencers, and celebrities pushing supplements and diet advice, how do we know what's actually healthy? Alyssa and Nadia reflect on the importance of critical thinking, balanced nutrition, and learning to trust your own body.TakeawaysNutrition trends have drastically changed over generations, from low-fat diets to high-protein and gut health obsessions.Social media heavily influences eating behaviors, often promoting extreme or unrealistic food choices.Orthorexia is an eating disorder that involves an obsession with only eating "clean" or "healthy" foods.Many influencers lack actual nutrition expertise but still shape public perceptions of food and health.Gut health is an important topic, but it's often over-marketed in ways that may not be backed by science.Food trends are constantly changing, making it confusing to determine what's actually beneficial.There's no one-size-fits-all approach to healthy eating—what works for one person may not work for another.The rise of celebrity and influencer-branded supplements raises concerns about quality, effectiveness, and trust.Brands specifically target younger generations, making it harder to separate marketing from real science.The best approach? Take in expert-backed information, but ultimately trust how your own body feels.Chapters00:10 – Catching Up: Weekend Plans & College Life01:55 – What Does "Healthy Eating" Mean to You?02:44 – How Nutrition Messaging Has Changed Over the Years03:42 – The Influence of Social Media on Diet & Health Trends06:02 – Orthorexia: When "Clean Eating" Becomes Harmful08:47 – The Rise of Influencer-Driven Food Trends09:58 – The Psychological Impact of Social Media on Eating Habits11:24 – Gut Health: Science vs. Marketing12:16 – How to Filter Nutrition Advice & Listen to Your Body12:36 – Final Thoughts & Takeaways

Plus, she highlights why seeking support can be a game-changer in creating a healthier, more balanced mindset around eating and relationship with food. Tune in next week for the second part of this discussion diving into body image with a special guest! The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [1:51] Exploring our relationship with food, body shape and being food aware [11:29] Food triggers, guilt-free eating, and the time spent thinking about food[16:28] Food restrictions, One Meal a Day (OMAD), fear food and a discussion on eating disorders[26:22] Judging ourselves for food choices and how we can redirect these feelings[27:40] What a balanced relationship with food looks like[33:20] Exercise, activity choices and wearablesKEY TAKEAWAYS: Many people recall becoming aware of their body size and food choices at a young age, often influenced by family, social environments, and cultural messaging. Restrictive eating patterns are deeply ingrained behaviors influenced by diet culture. These habits contribute to an unhealthy relationship with food, highlighting the importance of re-evaluating these mindsets for overall well-being.Food choices may be driven by fear, competition, or guilt. Instead of restricting, skipping meals, or yo-yo dieting, a balanced approach involves recognizing hunger and satiety, eating various nourishing foods, and honoring your body's needs without anxiety. A balanced lifestyle allows for flexibility—being able to eat at any restaurant without stress, working out without obsessing over steps or missing a day, and removing labels like "good" or "bad" from food choices. The key is self-awareness and making mindful choices rather than engaging in self-sabotage or comparison.QUOTES:         [9:44] “The first time I felt I had to watch what I ate was between high school and college. - Jenn Trepeck[14:11] “If we are choosing not to have social plans because we don't want to eat out, or we don't want to eat around other people, we are isolating. We want to look at our relationship to that. - Jenn Trepeck[15:40] “What we learn through the Healthy Vibe Tribe and what I learned that completely changed my life is that it's not actually about the calories. It's about what calories are made of.” -Jenn Trepeck.[2.0:06] “Are we eating to avoid something?” Jenn Trepeck[27:05] “What does a more balanced relationship, a healthier relationship with food, look like? It means eating in a way that nourishes your body and your mind. Guilt and anxiety are not present. It means recognizing hunger and satiety and fullness.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramCr-Cr-Cr-CravingsDry Beyond January - Part OneDry Beyond January - Part Two

In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Joey Munoz (@dr.joeymunoz) for a no-BS conversation about one of the biggest problems in the health and fitness space—misinformation. We dive into: The villainization of certain foods and single ingredients—why so many people fear specific foods without understanding the full picture. How research studies actually work and why most people misinterpret them (spoiler: just because you read a study headline doesn't mean you know the science). Why most diets fail—hint: it has a lot to do with extreme, polarizing opinions in the nutrition space. Practical, evidence-based guidelines to help you succeed without falling into the latest diet trend rabbit hole. The importance of nuance in fitness and nutrition—because nothing is ever black and white. Dr. Joey is an expert in nutrition, metabolism, and evidence-based fitness. His approach cuts through the noise and helps people focus on what truly matters for long-term success. This episode is packed with insights to help you develop a sustainable, balanced approach to nutrition—without getting caught up in misinformation.   Brad's Fit Dad Case Study - Schedule Here   Interested in working with a coach?

In this solo episode, we're tackling orthorexia—aka, when “eating clean” goes off the rails and takes over your life. If you've ever felt like your food choices have to be perfect or if the idea of breaking a self-imposed food rule fills you with dread, this one's for you. We'll dig into how orthorexia starts, why it can be so sneaky to spot (spoiler: diet culture loves to cheer it on), and what it really takes to break free. This isn't about adding more food rules—it's about ditching them and finding freedom on your plate and in your mind. So grab a comfy blanket and hit play—this episode is serving up some much-needed truth with a side of compassion.

As more people seek to "clean up" their diets, we're seeing how rigid rules and an obsession with food purity can disrupt lives. In this episode, Kylee and Zoë dive into the evolving conversation around Orthorexia—a term for the unhealthy obsession with healthy eating. We explore the impact of societal norms, social media, and misinformation on people's relationship with food, particularly athletes. And they unpack how Orthorexia isn't officially recognized in the DSM but still significantly impacts mental and physical health, drawing from professional insights and research. They also talk through how athletes and active folks can work towards a more balanced healthy approach to nutrition, and avoid the pitfalls of over-restriction. It's that time of year when the world is drowning in bad diet advice and unsustainable fitness trends. That's why we're teaming up with the Your Diet Sucks podcast to bring you a series of Your Diet Sucks episodes this January aimed at ditching diet culture and getting you ready to fuel your goals.Hosts Kylee Van Horn, RDN, (@flynutrition3) and Zoë Rom (@carrot_flowers_z) combine years of research, professional expertise (as well as unprofessional nutrition mishaps!), and athlete experience to deliver evidence-backed explorations of nutrition—no fluff, no fads, just science.

In today's episode, Elaina Efird, Registered Dietitian and Eating Disorder Specialist, joins us to help clarify the fine line between disordered eating behaviors and clinically diagnosed eating disorders. She explains how the level of obsession and obsessive behaviors with food, weight, and body image can be a key indicator, emphasizing the importance of recognizing early signs of unhealthy patterns, and we touch on the growing awareness of conditions like Orthorexia, which can still be incredibly harmful, while not formally diagnosed.We also explore how societal pressure and social media contribute to disordered eating behaviors, and the importance of fostering healthy relationships with food, both for ourselves and for the next generation. Elaina shares practical tips on mindful eating practices and how to prioritize health-focused behaviors over pure aesthetics.We discuss fostering healthy eating behaviors in children from a young age, and honoring children's natural hunger and fullness cues, rather than forcing them to finish their plates, which can disrupt their innate ability to regulate food intake. We chat about how establishing boundaries around mealtimes, encouraging mindful eating, and creating consistent family rituals can set a strong foundation for a positive relationship with food. By modeling healthy behaviors and avoiding restrictive food practices, parents can help prevent future disordered eating patterns in their kids.“We need to shift the focus away from how our bodies look and towards the behaviors that truly define health—eating well, moving in ways we enjoy, and managing stress.”- Elaina Efird, RD“Hunger and fullness cues are innate cues since birth. We, as adults, have learned how to ignore them.”- Elaina Efird, RDThis week on Here's the Deal:Eating disorders are all-consuming, while disordered eating can ebb and flow in impactSocietal pressure to avoid fatness fuels disordered eatingProfessional help should be sought early when food obsession negatively impacts lifeEarly recognition and professional support can prevent the progression from disordered eating to a full-blown eating disorderSetting boundaries around food behaviors, especially with children, fosters a healthy relationship with eatingMindful eating practices like focusing on your five senses can help reconnect with your body's cuesKids often have a natural sense of hunger and fullness—trust them, and avoid forcing them to clean their platesTeaching children to sit down for meals and focus on their food helps build lifelong mindful eating habitsRole-modeling a positive relationship with food and not restricting certain foods can prevent children from developing secretive or binge behaviors later in lifeConnect with Elaina Efird, RD:Elaina Efird, RD on InstagramEfird NutritionThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

Welcome, friends, to another episode of Thrive Beyond Size! I just got back from a vacation, an eight-day cruise with my husband Rob, and it was wonderful. I didn't use my phone once, I put it in my bag, I didn't take it out, and it was an amazing real break. After the cruise, I attended a medical conference in Orlando, Florida, on lifestyle medicine. One of the pillars of lifestyle medicine is eating a plant-based or plant-forward diet. There's a lot of evidence to support that such a diet is great for health but what I'm looking at is how choices like these can lead to a feeling of superiority about food choices. Sometimes our new clean eating obsession can get quite obsessive and can even lead to an overlooked eating disorder called orthorexia. And that's what I want to talk about today.   Orthorexia literally means “correct appetite” and it describes an unhealthy obsession with eating foods that are considered clean or pure. Unlike other eating disorders, orthorexia is not about the amount of food eaten but is more about the quality and purity of the food. What I want to look at is this new movement about clean eating and how it can disguise what is essentially diet talk in a new format. I want to examine how an obsession with clean eating can lead to orthorexia, discuss signs for identifying orthorexia, and talk about how such an obsession can lead to feelings of superiority about food and a tendency to evangelize. I'll also talk about how to step back from such an obsessive mindset and why it's important to enjoy our food and not obsess over it to the point of restriction or health impacts. So join me as I share some insight on this overlooked eating disorder and talk about how to manage it.__About Dr. Michelle Tubman:Dr. Michelle Tubman is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means she understands exactly what's happening in your body when you diet.

How do you actually know when you've gone TOO FAR in your quest to get healthy? Is there really such a thing as being TOO healthy?And this is actually not an easy question to answer, because one thing I had to deal with, and something I know a lot of my clients have had to deal with also, is the disapproval of other people when you actually starting seeing some success with your health and weight loss goals.I had lots of people tell me, "you're too obsessive," "can't you take a break," "you've lost too much weight," "this can't be healthy" and so on and so on. And I know many women in my program have heard those same kind of remarks, when in fact they're finally just taking control of their life and their health in a really positive way.So where is the line between a determined health journey and an unhealthy obsession?That's exactly what we're going to talk about today.----------Want to learn more about how our program can help you lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE without dieting or drugs, then I'd love to invite you to join me for my next FREE workshop!If you've never joined me for a live workshop, you should know they're always really fun and JAM PACKED with valuable info!

Taking a decidedly hard left pivot to do a cultural deep dive into the new buzzy movie that everyone is talking about, The Substance starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid, and co-produced, written and directed by Coralie Fargeat. Shockingly insane, it was like nothing I ever expected and I"m not sure if I recovered.But despite the terrifying visuals and sound design, the message was pretty relevant and thought-provoking. The Substance Official Movie TrailerNotable timestamps:00:00:52 - Cultural Deep Dive: The Substance00:01:33 - Movie Overview and Initial Thoughts00:02:06 - Personal Connection to the Movie00:02:59 - Reinvention Roadmap Newsletter00:04:13 - Movie Premise: The Substance00:05:04 - The Concept of DNA Splitting00:06:13 - The Male Gaze and Perfection00:07:08 - Body Horror Genre00:08:00 - Demi Moore's Casting and Performance00:09:04 - Exaggerated Male Characters00:10:52 - Personal Reflections on Beauty Standards00:14:00 - My Struggles with Body Dysmorphia, orthorexia, and disordered eating00:17:50 - Aging and Beauty Standards00:19:17 - The Morning Shed Trend00:20:54 - Fighting Aging and Embracing Vibrance00:22:03 - The Central Message of The Substance00:23:06 - Coralie Fargeat's Perspective00:24:50 - Self-Violence and Inner Conflict00:26:12 - Audience Reactions and Final ThoughtsLet's GROW!Schedule a free brainstorming strategy call with meSign up for the free Reinvention Roadmap weekly email Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Sign up for the free Reinvention Roadmap weekly emailAllisonHare.comFollow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube.Schedule a FREE breakthrough call with me Want to take these ideas and apply them to your life?

We all deserve to feel good in our bodies, but when we have negative perceptions of how our body looks, feels, or functions that experience can seem impossible. Today host Rachel talks with returning guest Alison Heilig about the sometimes sneaky ways body image manifests in yoga. In this episode, we discuss how body image forms and the different ways negative body image can show up - including the perpetual optimization of health and demonization of the aging process. We also touch on implications for gender conformity and advocate normalizing diversity in ability and appearance in yoga classes. We share our tips on how yoga teachers can provide positive embodiment experiences, ensuring that body image isn't what stops our students practicing.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 676 How can technology help you return to homeostasis and achieve sustainable weight loss? Kara Collier, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Co-Founder of NutriSense, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 676, to discuss the importance of fostering a healthy relationship with food, using technology like continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to better understand your body's signals, and why mindfulness, compassion, and balance are essential for long-term nutritional and emotional well-being. "When we are given a prescriptive diet and follow this one exact thing, it's really hard for many of us to actually stick to that long term. But when we see our personal data and how our body responds, it's much more meaningful and it's a lot more sustainable long term." - Kara Collier $50 Off NutriSense The Nutrisense CGM Program pairs powerful data and expert guidance to set you on the path to improved metabolic health.

Why the "clear your plate" mentality doesn't help children have a healthy approach to food. How attaching 'good' and 'bad' labels to foods creates a feeling of punishment or reward. We should educate children about how food benefits us and where it comes from. [07:35] How to Teach Children About Nutrition How parents can teach their children about healthy eating. Why we don't listen to the natural signals of our bodies. Restrictive diets are often unhealthy. [12:05] NutriSense Technology Why most people don't realize when their glucose level drops or spikes. How NutriSense technology helps people understand their body signals. Why instant data aids us to enhance our intuition and motivate us. [16:50] Modern Lifestyle Works Against Human Biology Why we need technology for health optimization. How the vast majority of people can benefit from using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Why we're biologically driven to not spend energy. How the food system works against the human biology. Why our modern lifestyle makes it difficult for us to live healthy. [23:35] Continuous Glucose Monitoring Wired to Eat by Rob Wolf How Josh found out what foods are not good for him through data tracking. Everyone is a unique individual and reacts differently to different foods. How mindfulness around food helps us make empowered choices. Why following our own data is more sustainable long-term than following a specific diet. [28:40] Nutrient Timing How to Eat, Move, And Be Healthy by Paul Chek The Acute Effects of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting Time in Adults with Standing and Light-Intensity Walking on Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health in Adults How exercise can improve glucose levels and metabolic health. We store glucose molecules in our skeleton muscles as glycogen. How regular exercise creates better communication patterns within the body. [33:05] Understanding Glucose How intense exercise like CrossFit creates a glucose spike to create energy. Why consistency ensures the best results. Early stages of insulin resistance start in the muscle. The importance of strength training. [37:05] Is Fruit Healthy? How lactic acid is produced in the muscles. Why juicing fruit and eating too much fruit can be bad for us. Pairing fruit with protein and fat after a workout. How misinformation is being spread on social media. [41:00] Orthorexia: How to Live in Harmony with Food How Josh struggled with overeating and starving himself when he was younger. Why we need to develop a long-term healthy relationship with food. How CGM helped Kara with mental blocks around food. We can take healthy eating to the extreme and develop Orthorexia. How Kara was chasing the dopamine reward through food. [47:10] Finding Compassion for Yourself Our relationship to food can hold an emotional connection to our childhood. Why we first shame ourselves before we understand where we are coming from. How increasing our awareness creates an agency of choice. [51:30] How to Cultivate Awareness We have to train the mind to achieve a sustainable behavior change. How we're lacking good quality information. Everyone has the potential to gain awareness and make healthier choices for themselves. How habits become part of our identity. [58:20] Healing from Perfectionism How striving for perfection hurts us. Why NutriSense has a team of professionals who help clients optimize their eating habits. Behind perfectionism is fear. Why we need consistency more than perfection. The "all or nothing" mindset doesn't get us anywhere. [01:06:20] Food Healing Journey Why having support from friends and family has helped Kara on her health journey. Vulnerability opens up the door to healing. How emotional support is what patients need to create a positive and long-term change. [01:11:05] All or Nothing? The bridge between knowing and doing. Why rigidity and extreme discipline stop us from success. We shouldn't feel like a failure when we don't stick to our regime. How extreme ownership creates responsibility. Why people get stuck in the negative loop of guilt and shame. [01:19:10] Path of Purpose Why some men need tough discipline to start their journey of evolution. Having purpose and passion is a key component of wellness. Why Kara enjoys learning new skills and challenging herself. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Glucose Monitoring Builds Awareness "CGM is a new metric that can reflect your health back at you. We don't have an emotional tie to a lot of our body signals so the CGM can be an unbiased way to build awareness." - Kara Collier Healthy Decisions "I don't need to eliminate everything that's bad from my life in order to be healthy. I just need to know what works for me in different situations and to make good decisions at different inflection points. People want good health, that's the thing they want to control. But we don't have to be perfect to be there. We actually just need to be consistent." - Kara Collier Become An Active Driver "The current environment is going to push you towards obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and dementia if you become passive rather than an active driver. But when you're empowered with the right information and you make the choices to actually consistently move forward with that information, then you can be an active driver, even if the environment is working against you." - Kara Collier Links From Today's Show  Kara Collier NutriSense 397 Kara Collier | How To Stop Eating Sugar: The CGM Solution & NutriSense Wired to Eat by Rob Wolf How to Eat, Move, And Be Healthy by Paul Chek The Acute Effects of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting Time in Adults with Standing and Light-Intensity Walking on Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health in Adults

Natalie Rose join us to share her journey with disordered eating, which began during her high school years due to social pressures and a desire for acceptance. Her struggles with body image led to a cycle of restriction and binge eating, exacerbated by a heart condition that limited her ability to exercise. Later, her mother's cancer diagnosis reignited her obsession with "healthy eating", pushing her further into orthorexia. Eventually, exposure to anti-diet culture on social media helped Natalie challenge her disordered relationship with food and begin her true recovery. She reflects on how her obsession with health distanced her from others and how realigning with her values was crucial to healing. This is such a beautifully honest, vulnerable conversation, and you'll talk away with hope and tangible ideas for navigating your own experience with food and body image.  Natalie Rose is a therapist and coach who helps women improve their relationship with food and their body. She runs an online membership platform and teaches psychological skills to help her members overcome chronic dieting, disordered eating, and body image issues.
