Podcast appearances and mentions of paige smathers

Even if you are doing your best to practice intuitive eating and reconnect with your body, it's easy to let the old mentality of “rules-based eating” slip back in and have that negative self-talk return.   It can be especially frustrating if you feel like you're trying to be ‘mindful' of your food choices but keep failing and falling back to old eating habits.    But are you truly practicing mindfulness, or is your attempt to be mindful setting you back into your ‘rule-based' eating & negative self-talk?   If you've noticed yourself reverting back into food rules & judgemental thoughts and feel like ‘mindfulness' is not working and you aren't eating intuitively (and maybe you are reading this and feel completely confused because you don't really know the difference between mindful eating and intuitive eating) then today's podcast episode is for you!   We are joined by Paige Smathers, a Registered Dietitian who supports people in finding and learning to make peace with food and body image in a compassionate and self aware way.   In this episode we discuss how mindfulness and intuitive eating can (and should!) work together to help heal your relationship with food and body image, how not to use mindfulness (the ways in which it can backfire!), the potential pitfalls of self-esteem and the critical role that self-compassion plays in our food freedom journeys, as well as the importance of learning to accept failures (and reframing them! Because you can't really fail!) as part of the process to make forward progress. In this episode we cover:    [3:13] Paige's journey to becoming an intuitive eating dietitian. [7:16] The impact compassionate self talk can have on those struggling with disordered eating [8:36] The differences and similarities between mindfulness, mindful eating, and intuitive eating and how both are needed to eat in alignment with your body [24:28] How Intuitive Eating is portrayed on social media and why its not the full picture [27:39] Self-compassion research: what does it show, what is it, and what role it plays in intuitive eating  [34:51] The benefits of self-compassion in your life and how to practice it more on a daily basis Rachel's Resources: Are you a Food Freedom Professional seeking to boost her coaching confidence with clients using the Intuitive Eating approach?

Paige literally changed my life, so much knowledge about restriction and binging, making peace with our bodies, and "giving up". This one is a MUST listen. It will relate to every woman. 

Paige and I cover so much ground in this episode. We started off by speaking about where she lives - In Salt Lake City, Utah. I actually never met anyone that lived so that was an interesting place to start. Paige shares her story of leaving the Mormon faith and how, in many ways, that trauma can inform some of the way she practices. That, to me, is so interesting. I find that so many things overlap with Intuitive Eating. For some people - leaving diet culture - is like leaving so much of their identity. Paige has a unique philosophy when it comes to Intuitive Eating and someone who uses social media to promote their business. I specifically wanted to interview her after she announced that she will no longer be doing her very success podcast, Nutrition Matters. I couldn't believe that someone would voluntarily decide to do that. She explains in the podcast that when it didn't feel good anymore, she stopped. She wasn't just in it for the downloads, for the money and to fuel her ego. I respect this perspective so much and I feel Paige has so much to share about aligned based living.

I have been looking forward to speaking with Dr. Joy Arlene Renee Cox for months now. She is such a beautiful soul and I'm so grateful to her for all the work she's doing in the world. In today's conversation we talk about trusting our intuition, the lived experience of individuals with larger bodies, being brave in the healthcare industry, cultural biases, and discrimination against people with different bodies. In light of the current season of anti-racism, she also answers the question of "How can we use our intuition to be better allies and advocates?" Political action as a tool for liberation, especially for people with multiple identities is having an exciting moment in our history. Dr. Joy Cox sees a lot of that happening in the communities. She said in this episode "Liberation is built on the structure of bravery. If we look back generations, we'll see that our parents and our parents' parents' parents' had something to fight for... When you look at activists now, the shoulders they stand on belong to people who were conditioned in bravery, so to speak, they were able to stand up to the things that were impeding against them and say 'we're gonna do this.'" This conversation with Dr. Joy Cox challenged me and inspired me in such good ways and I hope it will do the same for you too! Especially as we dive into a new season of personal and societal bravery for the rest of this year, we need as much of this kind of bravery as we can get!

In our lifetime we have never before seen supermarket shelves empty. We may emotionally react to the perception of scarcity by hoarding food and binge eating. And, working from home so close to your refrigerator can be daunting. To discover how we can have a positive relationship with food during this pandemic Marni welcomes Registered Dietician/Nutritionist, Paige Smathers to the Den. Paige helps people heal their relationship with food and their body. She specializes in chronic dieting addiction recovery, eating disorders, and the family eating dynamic. Her approach to nutrition and health is grounded in mindfulness and is rooted in intuitive eating and health at every size. Paige is the owner of Positive Nutrition where she offers mentorship and coaching.     Key takeaways from this episode:  Overcoming the urge to hoard and binge eat Giving yourself permission to take pleasure in eating How to listen to your body and eat intuitively Making the most out of the family sitting down to a meal Why it’s not productive to micromanage your meals A Sense of Scarcity [2:09] What a shock it is to our system when we go to a grocery store only to find the shelves empty. We are not accustomed to not having enough food. We respond to these things by hoarding or buying in bulk. It has triggered a fear of scarcity in our entire society.  And in our dieting culture, we make self-imposed cycles of trying to manipulate our bodies when it comes to food but during this pandemic, we are not in control of it.  Paige reminds us that nothing about what is going on right now is normal. So, how do we shift? If we can make our eating as normalized as possible it will give us the best chance at nourishing our bodies so we stay healthy and function properly. She recommends staying within a normal diet as much as possible. There is some room for enjoying food and tasting new things. We don't have to be ashamed to get pleasure or joy from food.  It's time to stop that and accept that cooking can connect us to our culture and our families. We need that now more than ever.  And, one of the biggest mistakes we make is to believe that it is wrong to enjoy food. We should enjoy preparing it, light a candle, play some music. Make it an enjoyable experience.    The Intuitive Eating Framework  [9:34] There is a lot to Intuitive Eating. It can be tricky to understand what it means. especially if you come from a diet mindset. It is nuanced but it is about deciding how you want to feel and how you want to function.    Having a happy, healthy relationship with food is less about following rules; it's more about finding a way to approach food that works for you.   There is freedom in waking up to the fact that your body is wise. You will get the carbs your body needs. Your body will get it whether you give it to it in consistent, balanced meals or through bingeing at night. There is real wisdom in liberalizing your rules about food. We just need to tune in. Paige warns against micromanaging eating. It is the micromanaging that leads to bingeing, overeating, or dysfunction.    Tapping into your self-compassion is the key to intuitive eating. Ask yourself these questions to move forward with a peaceful relationship with your body and food: What has been true about you as a soul?  How would you feed someone you love and care about? And, why?   Asking yourself these questions makes it easy to separate the manipulative way you may approach food and help to ground yourself into a reasonable. intuitive, kind, gentle, balanced approach. It can strip away that negative, punitive thought process we often have about feeding ourselves.   Working with the Fridge in the Next Room  [23:08] Many people are now working from home and they are not accustomed to having their food so close. A lot of women are concerned about their families, their work, and what will happen tomorrow so they find themselves emotionally eating.  Paige says not to worry emotional eating is a normal human thing. Food is inherently emotional. It does bring joy, connection, and goodness into our lives. The more we try to deprive ourselves of that the more disconnected we will be to the things that really matter.    She adds, “One big mistake people make is approaching emotional eating from a place of never doing it and if they do it they feel they must feel super guilty about it. All that ends up doing is perpetuating the cycle of 'I better get it all in because I will be better tomorrow. I will never do it again.’ That thinking is what pushes them toward bingeing every time.”  It sounds counter-intuitive but the paradox here is that the more you give yourself permission to enjoy the yumminess of life the more reasonable you can be around those foods.  Emotional eating can bring a moment of joy into your world so it's ok to sit down and have some of what you love. Be gentle with yourself when you work from home. It's a different transition. Check-in with your self-compassion. Give yourself permission to have a bit of structure. Block off time in your day to eat meals. and eat satisfying, full, legitimate meals. Not just a quick handful of something.  Having a routine and structure around eating is important for you to function optimally especially during the pandemic.  Satisfaction and satiation are part of this philosophy. Paige recommends putting food on a plate and eating it.  It works from a physiological and psychological perspective.  If you are sitting down to boring food that makes you want to barf it's not sustainable and you will pendulum swing into binging.    Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

We all know that Diet Culture is huge in America, and the World. How can we deal with the ever growing issues of body image problems, obsessing over food, and cultivating an unhealthy relationship with the food that we eat? One RDN says that looking inward may be the way to go. This week I am joined by Paige Smathers, RDN, and host of the Nutrition Matters Podcast. Paige and I speak on a variety of topics from behavior modification, body image issues, dietary restrictions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the ability to look within ones true-self to distinguish what constitutes a "healthy" relationship with food and diet culture.

Jennifer is joined by Paige Smathers, RDN, CD to explore the important topic of burnout for dietitians in private practice, and to share insightful and relevant strategies to prevent it. Together they explore the definition of burnout, and shine a light on the causes of it from not only the complexities of the dietitian industry and our clients, but also from the anxiety and uncertainty that the online world can cause private practice owners. They reflect on the need to have honest conversations with ourselves and acknowledge how this work can be exhausting with the pressures to manage all aspects of the job.   Paige shares how she recognizes the early signs of depletion that leads to burnout, how she came to accept that discomfort, uncertainty and discouragement are part of this work and being in private practice, and how she developed mindfulness skills to deal with that, rather than just trying to feel better.   Jennifer and Paige discuss how learning to tolerate the distress of this work can actually help dietitians grow in other aspects of life, and be role models for our clients. “Mindfulness for me is not about feeling good; it’s about getting more skilled and able to feel the discomfort that I’m feeling, because discomfort and uncertainty is part of this work.” ~Paige Smathers   Some of the topics discussed include: Paige’s journey from seeing inpatient hospital clients, to her discovery of Intuitive Eating and starting a practice. How her private practice and podcast has developed since 2015, and the importance of staying true to her message and mission. Self-care strategies and how to maintain realistic boundaries in private practice by working smarter, not harder. How diversifying and building in-person connections in your local community can re-energize you and your practice. The differences between in-person versus online burnout, and ways to stay grounded and true to your values when social media causes anxiety and uncertainty. Proactive mindfulness techniques and managing your schedule to maintain energy levels.   We need to take care of ourselves so we can effectively work with our clients and thrive in our practice. You’ll get some helpful burnout prevention tips from this episode that you might not have considered!

Replay! Paige Smathers, dietitian and host of the podcast Nutrition Matters, joins me to dive into the sixth principle of Intuitive Eating. Satisfaction is different than satiety, but it can take some time to identify their unique qualities.

Our clients have struggled with this principle, as it requires coming to peace with our food preferences and cravings.  Links we talk about on the episode:  Don't Let Trader Joe's Make You Feel Guilty About Eating Paige's podcast episode about Intuitive Eating  10 Principles of Intuitive Eating Read the book: Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works Other stuff: Join the extended podcast conversations and meet fellow real-talkers by joining our community,Patreon.com/RdRealTalk Learn more about Weight Inclusive Nutrition & Dietetics education and events.  Your host, Heather Caplan: HeatherCaplan.com, @heatherDCRD, @RDRealTalk Have you left a review on iTunes yet? If not, please do! Click here and tap the stars.

Do you feel like you have no willpower when it comes to food? Does it seem like you will never get out of the cycle of dieting and bingeing? Are you even wondering if you may have a food addiction? Listen along as Julie Duffy Dillon provides insight on your next steps. Episode's Key Points: Nutrition Myth: Calories in, calories out is the key to weight loss.--->Fat phobia is actually at the root of this false message Intuitive Eating will help bring about peace with food and your body through rebuilding connections with your body and allowing food to be consumed for both fuel and pleasure. Taking steps to dismantle our fat phobic system and move towards body liberation is key to promoting health for us all. Our worldview of bodies is broken, not our bodies. Research shows that diets don't work for most people. Saying someone is addicted to food is like saying they're addicted to oxygen, water, warmth, and sleep --->we need all of these to stay alive; "We can't be addicted to something we need to survive" --Amy Pershing Connect with as many fat positive people as you are able in order to help move towards body autonomy and body liberation.

Episode's Key Points: Our relationship with food is a window into our unmet needs! Instead of trying to avoid vulnerability, try sticking with it. It will help you tap into your own innate wisdom, and help guide you towards what you need to do next. It's time to investigate our unmet need. Food can help distract us when we're going through challenging times, but figuring out the unmet need can provide some lasting relief. This strategy is called the Food Decoding Method! Chronic illness is a tough experience on everyone, not just the person struggling with the pain. Remember that, and give yourself some compassion. Hardship and health conditions are difficult, but they are NOT caused by being in a larger body. There's a relationship between body size and illness, but there's no research out there to prove that being in a larger body leads to ill health. In fact, there are lots of factors, like weight stigma, that aren't even considered in classic weight research. Ending a relationship with your therapist is hard, but even going to a few sessions is worth it. Explore the option of online therapy providers!

HEY OH! Look who's back. Coming in with a book update, followed by a conversation that desperately needed to be had, and I couldn't think of a more perfect guest for it than dietitian Paige Smathers (of the Nutrition Matters podcast). Paige and I are addressing some recent criticisms made about the non-diet movement like we're a) telling everyone to eat doughnuts all day long and b) shaming people who want to lose weight. This is in response to an article that was published recently which criticised the non-diet movement without appreciating some of the subtleties or nuance of the approach. Paige and I are discussing the concerns, doing a little reflecting, and trying to figure out how we can make the approach more accessible. We discuss: ✨ Why it's important not to jump into nutrition too fast or too hard ✨ Knowing your audience and protecting the most vulnerable ✨ Why it's important to expose people to a variety of foods ✨ How we can bring make out message accessible to people without alienating others ✨ Why we need to be critical of the non-diet approach to help it move forward ✨ Why being critical of the non-diet approach doesn't mean you're for diets ✨ Why you shouldn't feel ashamed for wanting to lose weight or being on a diet BUT ✨ Why it's also important to understand the forces working on us that make us feel like we need to lose weight to he healthy, happy, or comfortable in our bodies ✨ Why doing the work of a non-diet advocate is HARD and why I had to delete Twitter the other week Show Notes {Paige on Instagram | Facebook} {Nutrition Matters Podcast} {Paige's Website} {Long-term weight-loss maintenance: a meta-analysis of US studies} {Ineffectiveness of commercial weight-loss programs for achieving modest but meaningful weight loss: Systematic review and meta-analysis} {The National Weight Control Registry: A Critique} {Sofie Hagen's Made of Human Podcast} {Sofie Hagen's Shimmer Shatter Show (Highly recommend)} {Is the Anti-Diet Movement Leading us Astray?}

sat down with , Registered Dietitian, to discuss eating behaviors and beliefs during pregnancy. Braxton and Paige discuss advice commonly given to pregnant women and where some diets originate. They walk through each phase of pregnancy from pre-pregnancy to postpartum. Many of the topics they covered consist of eating raw, vitamin use, morning sickness, natural weight gain, and cravings. Paige shares her philosophy of eating with balance, moderation, and variety, as well as mentally preparing to nurture yourself during pregnancy. Paige addresses a new way to think about yourself, your body, and your relationship with food. Braxton learns a little bit about his eating patterns and changing his relationship with food, even though he will never be pregnant.

I was so excited when Paige and I scheduled her return to the BodyLove Project Podcast to talk about the practice our practices are centered around: nuance. It seems to be a lost art in our culture. We really like black and white, right and wrong thinking. It's easier to make a "yes" or "no" decision than to really spend some time formulating your own thoughts, based on your own values.  Here's a great example: Jake: Where do you want to go for dinner? Me: I'm not sure, what are you in the mood for? Jake: I'll eat anything. Me: Ok, what about Highland Kitchen? Jake: No.  And this goes on and on and on and on, until I finally list a place he agrees on. Now I know we are not the only couple that deals with this. But the moral of the story is, it's easier to answer a question when you're presented with two options, versus when you have to develop a thesis, support your thesis with research, and develop a conclusion.  In this episode Paige and I talk about... How to help open a larger conversation, avoid arguments, and hear more than one side to every story. Why we tend to be so dogmatic about our beliefs around nutrition (amongst other topics). How to NOT be dogmatic, about promoting a non-dogmatic approach.  The importance of separating your identity from your beliefs (and knowing who you really are).  How to not be perfectionistic, about not being perfectionistic.  I hope you love this conversation as much as I did!

Do you have a history of addiction to substances, and also have a difficult relationship to food? Have you ever been involved in a 12-step program? Are you trying to experience connection and joy with your body and others, and attempting to reach out to support groups for help, but find them to be a hotbed of diet culture rather than a healing place that cultivates self-acceptance?

Does abstinence from "trigger foods" work? Is using food to cope with emotions the same as using drugs or alcohol? Are OA's original intentions reflected in the current programs? No matter what our personal opinion, anyone who has improved their relationship to food through the program is valid and their stories are their own! You are not alone! Many people who deal with addiction to substances also deal with difficult relationships to food. OA and abstinence: Many people who went to OA wanted to find abstinence from dieting, but instead were told to be abstinent from certain food groups (e.g. sugar, flours). "The pursuit of weight loss is part of that powerlessness that we feel over food." - Julie When we pursue weight loss, we inevitably focus heavily on food choice and become obsessional. But this isn't a failure, and this doesn't mean you are addicted to food! Instead, it is our body's way of making sure we don't starve it. Once we have unconditional permission to eat, the addictive feeling of food tends to dissipate, and the feeling of being powerless around food becomes less of an issue. The spiritual component and group support of OA can be super beneficial and healing for some people. Eating Disorder Anonymous (EDA): no abstinence required, but also incorporates the group support and spiritual components that many people find fulfilling in OA! There are also other dietitians out there who provide group support through online intuitive eating and eating disorder communities. Tapping into our wisdom and allowing it to guide you is so key to figuring out if certain things are right for you in your path to recovery! Trust your instincts!!

Today I'm speaking with Paige Smathers. Paige is a registered dietitian in Salt Lake City, Utah in private practice who specializes in helping people heal their relationship with food. Paige recently launched her online Intuitive Eating Course, Educate, Embrace, Empower: a 10-week course where you learn to tap into your inner wisdom and become your own eating expert. You can learn more about Paige and this course at www.paigesmathersrd.com. About 15 minutes into this show, Paige paints a beautiful picture to show how she teaches intuitive eating. Here it is, in a nutshell: Imagine two ends of a spectrum. On one end there is food obsession, and the other is food apathy. To a black and white thinker, intuitive eating can sound like it's telling you to just stop caring about food. But now imagine that spectrum becoming a much smaller range. On one end, instead of food obsession, you have food concern, or awareness. On the other, you have food flexibility. You get to choose where you want to fall. Do you want to pay attention to nutrition a bit more? Or do you want to be more flexible? Or, do you want to fall right in the middle? Paige says, there is space for both. Throughout the episode Paige offers a lot of great tips on how to set up your environment so you can tap into your intuition. To those with a diet history or black-and-white thinkers, Paige offers tips to provide you with the structure you need to dip your toes into the process of intuitive eating.

Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. Key Points: Julie shares a part of her personal struggle with her body image. She feels a bit awkward doing it and hopes it ok to share with you. Julie and guest Paige Smathers explore the definition of recovery. Recovery can be the food times enjoying food as well as the messy tough struggles when we may feel out of control. Recovery includes awareness of the moment, no matter what it looks like in the moment. If all or nothing thinking plagued food choices or body image it can also negatively affect your definition of eating disorder recovery. Paige says all we can do is try our best. Do you have to always love your body to be a model of body positivity? Julie and Paige say no! That just means you are an aware human. Model self-compassion and vulnerability.

What does it mean to be a 'normal' eater?  In a world full of diet plans and food rules like "never eat after 7, or eat every 4 hours" that can be a difficult question to answer.In this episode, I brought on Paige Smathers to talk about what it means to be a 'normal' eater, and how you too, even after years of dieting, can transition to a more natural way of eating. Paige is a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) with the Commission on Dietetic Registration and a certified dietitian (CD) in the state of Utah.  She provides a comprehensive, client-centered nutrition therapy aimed at addressing the client as a whole person. She believes food problems do not exist on their own—there's usually something deeper, buried in a person's experiences and history where the problems began. She works with her clients to come up with small and simple goals that will eventually lead to great and lasting lifestyle changes, helping them heal their relationship with food and end the dieting game forever.You're going to learn:    How to start the process of 'undieting' in order to achieve a more natural, intuitive way of eating    The difference between disordered eating and eating disorders    How to foster a healthy relationship with food in your kids. I learned a lot from this interview, I hope you do too!
