AI is everywhere these days and more and more people are turning to ChatGPT and other AI tools for nutrition and fueling advice. While AI can be incredibly useful for things like brainstorming meal ideas or collecting general nutrition information, it's not a substitute for individualized nutrition or medical advice.In episode 144 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, Sports Dietitian Jessica Isaacs, MS, RDN, joins me to talk about AI and nutrition, including:Why athletes are increasingly turning to AI for fueling guidanceWhat AI gets right (and wrong) when it comes to nutrition and healthUsing AI for general information versus individualized nutrition adviceHow to fact-check AI-generated informationPractical examples of when AI can be useful for active peopleWhy AI should be used alongside dietitians and other health professionals (not instead of)A big takeaway from this conversation is that AI can be helpful, but it shouldn't be your nutrition decision-maker. Tune in to hear the full conversation!Links & ResourcesFollow Jessica on Instagram and visit her websiteRead the 2026 BMJ Open study,  2024 review on AI in nutrition research, and 2025 review on AI and dietetics that we discuss in this episode Support my sponsor Tailwind Nutrition: Use code EATFORENDURANCE20 for 20% off your first purchaseJoin my membership, Fuel for Life Crew, for just $39/month (cancel anytime)Check out my free nutrition downloadsSupport the podcast by shopping all my affiliate links and joining my Patreon communityInterested in comprehensive, in-depth 1:1 coaching?

For so many women, diet culture never looked like a diet. It looked like discipline, like being "the healthy one," like a body image built around control. You made food rules without ever writing them down, and the food guilt that followed felt normal. In this episode we unpack diet mentality: what it is, the hidden ways it shows up, and how it keeps running in the background even when you've never technically been on a diet. Elizabeth shares her own years as a vegetarian who told everyone it was about health, the rush back to the gym within days of each of her babies, and the pride of being the disciplined one. Tara and Maria bring the versions they've lived and the ones they see in the women they work with. We also get into why diet mentality intensifies for women in perimenopause and midlife women navigating a changing body, and why intuitive eating works as an antidote to years of restriction, plus: Why body control feels like being healthy and disciplined from the inside What food rules sound like when they're dressed up as virtue Why food guilt shows up even when you're eating exactly what you planned to eat The question that tells you what diet mentality is actually costing you What changes during perimenopause and midlife that make old patterns louder How the wellness rabbit hole leads to disordered eating without weight ever being the goal The write-it-down exercise Elizabeth gives clients to surface every hidden food rule Why intuitive eating gives you a real way to challenge those rules and let them go Letting go of diet mentality doesn't require an overnight transformation, and this episode shows exactly where to start.

Somewhere along the way, the friendships that used to happen on their own stopped happening. The school pickups ended, the schedules changed, and one day you looked around and realized your circle got smaller.  But what if the connection you're craving is more available than you think, and the only thing standing between you and it is knowing where to start? In this episode, we're talking about why social connection changes in midlife, why the female friendship you're craving now is different from the friendship of your 20s, and what it actually takes to rebuild your village on purpose. We also share what our first women's wellness retreat taught us about what women in this stage of life are really asking for. In this episode, you'll discover: The reason your social circle shrank without you doing anything wrong What changes about the connection you crave once you know what being supported actually feels like Why so many midlife women are braver than they were at 25, and what that bravery unlocks The shift that happens when you stop caring what people think of you What a viral Facebook group revealed about how many women are craving women's community right now Why proximity built your old friendships and why building community now takes intention The first place to look when finding community and you don't know where to start How women supporting women becomes the kind of support system that can literally save your life What the research on social prescribing says about connection and how long you live The one thing retreat attendees asked for more of, and what it tells you about what you're missing too You don't need a huge circle or a perfect starting point, you just need one brave yes, and this episode shows you where to find it.

What does it look like to build something for almost a decade — not because you had a perfect plan, but because you kept showing up? For the 100th episode of the Lane 9 podcast, host Heather Caplan, RDN, sits down with her co-founder Alexis Fairbanks to talk about where Lane 9 started, where the conversation around REDs and period health actually stands in 2026, and what they're still working on. This one is equal parts reflection and real talk — about what it felt like to learn about the Female Athlete Triad after the fact, why athlete stories still matter more than clinical presentations, and why the work is nowhere near done even though the conversation has come a long way.

Chapters [00:03:00] How Alexis and Heather met — and the conversation that started it all [00:04:00] Alexis's experience as a collegiate athlete: stress fractures, irregular periods, and being told it was normal [00:06:00] What it felt like to finally have a name for what happened — and still feel frustrated about it [00:11:00] Why Lane 9 started: the gap in knowledge, the birth control band-aid, and wanting to do something about it [00:16:00] The state of the conversation now: more resources, but thinness is coming back strong [00:22:00] What young athletes actually need — and why peer connection beats clinical education [00:28:00] The Lane 9 athlete ambassador program: how it works and what's changed going into year two [00:34:00] The Lane 9 directory and the clinical arm: building one place to find your full healthcare team Resources mentioned: Lane 9 Athlete Ambassador Program — open to collegiate athletes in women's sport programs; reach out anytime if the application window has closed Lane 9 Substack — Friday morning notes on REDs, fueling, period health, and women's sports Stanford FASTR — Dr. Emily Kraus's lab studying RED-S and female athlete physiology The Moth — storytelling event series; the inspiration behind early Lane 9 in-person events Are you an athlete?

For so many people, a single body comment has stayed with them for years. Someone remarks on what's on your plate, or how you look compared to last time they saw you, and you stand there without knowing what to say. Commenting on bodies got normalized somewhere along the way, and most of us were never given the language to push back on it. But what if you already have the right to end that conversation, and the only missing piece is knowing what to say? In this episode, we talk about what happens when people comment on your body, your food, or your weight, and what you can actually say back. Between the three of us we have lived this from opposite sides. Comments about being too thin, comments about gaining weight, comments in a larger body, comments filtered through cultural norms where remarking on appearance is the first thing out of someone's mouth. What we bring to this conversation is a range of responses that fit different relationships, different rooms, and different levels of energy on any given day. In this episode, you will discover: The reason a comment about your body says almost nothing about your body What most people never realize they are doing when diet culture teaches them that commenting is helpful The one question to ask yourself before you decide whether to respond at all Why unsolicited advice about your health so often arrives dressed as concern What setting boundaries actually sounds like with the family member you cannot avoid What to say when someone celebrates their own weight loss Why food comments at a party are rarely about the food What body shaming looks like when it comes wrapped in a compliment The part of body autonomy that requires no explanation from you to anyone Why food freedom includes eating without explaining your choices Protecting your body image does not require a confrontation, and this episode shows exactly what it does require.

When does trying to be healthy cross the line into rigid or disordered eating? Healthmaxxing focuses on optimizing nutrition, protein, exercise, sleep, steps, and other health metrics. But for someone with an eating disorder or history of disordered eating, healthmaxxing can become another way to follow rigid rules, compulsively track behaviors, and disconnect from the body. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne talks with registered dietitian and eating disorder specialist Amy Ornelas, RD, about healthmaxxing, diet culture, protein obsession, fitness trackers, compulsive exercise, and eating disorder recovery. Is Healthmaxxing the New Diet Culture? Healthmaxxing may look different from traditional dieting, but some of the messages sound familiar: eat the “right” foods, maximize protein, hit your steps, exercise consistently, track your metrics, and keep improving. Dr. Marianne and Amy discuss how healthmaxxing can become a socially acceptable form of rigid or disordered behavior. For someone recovering from an eating disorder, relying on an Apple Watch, Oura Ring, calorie tracker, or wellness influencer may also make it harder to rebuild trust in hunger, fullness, fatigue, and other body cues. Protein, Fitness Trackers, & Compulsive Exercise Protein has become one of the biggest trends in nutrition and wellness culture. Amy compares today's protein obsession to previous diet trends, including the fat-free craze of the 1980s and 1990s. Protein matters, but maximizing protein at every meal doesn't automatically make eating healthier. Dr. Marianne and Amy also unpack step counts, exercise goals, calorie tracking, and wearable fitness devices. Fitness data can provide useful information for some people, but it can also reinforce compulsive exercise, perfectionism, and eating disorder behaviors. Your body's needs change. Rest, relationships, sleep, pleasure, and spontaneity matter too. Eating Disorder Recovery & Rebuilding Body Trust Eating disorders can make hunger, fullness, fatigue, emotion, and physical sensations difficult to interpret. That uncertainty can make external rules and health metrics especially appealing. Amy explains how eating disorder nutrition therapy can provide appropriate structure as someone rebuilds nourishment and reconnects with their body. Unlike an algorithm or influencer, individualized nutrition support considers a person's history, eating disorder behaviors, physical needs, and recovery. Dr. Marianne and Amy also discuss what happens when fitness becomes part of your identity. Letting go of compulsive exercise or rigid health behaviors can raise a difficult question: Who am I if I'm no longer the person who always works out, eats a certain way, or prioritizes fitness? Recovery can create room to discover an identity beyond food, weight, exercise, and optimization. What You'll Learn You'll hear Dr. Marianne and Amy discuss healthmaxxing and disordered eating, diet culture and wellness culture, protein obsession and nutrition trends, fitness trackers and calorie tracking, compulsive exercise and step goals, fitness identity, hunger and fullness cues, body trust, and nutrition therapy in eating disorder recovery. They also ask a bigger question: What happens when trying to optimize your health starts taking away from your life? About Amy Ornelas, RD Amy Ornelas is a registered dietitian and eating disorder specialist with more than two decades of experience. She incorporates nutrition therapy, somatic therapy, yoga, and intuitive practices into her work with adolescents and adults. Her own eating disorder recovery helped shape her commitment to helping people move away from diet culture, rigid food rules, body image struggles, and disconnection from their bodies. Instagram: @amyornelasRD Website: i-heart-nutrition.com Related Episodes Have you ever had the experience of suddenly feeling huge in your body, even though nothing about your body has actually changed? That moment of intense body distress is incredibly common in eating disorder recovery. But what if that feeling is not really about body size at all? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller is joined by Amy Ornelas, RDN, an eating disorder dietitian, yoga teacher, and somatic therapy practitioner, to explore what body distress may actually be signaling underneath the surface. Together, they unpack how thoughts like “I feel huge” can often reflect emotional activation, overwhelm, grief, shame, anger, or stress rather than a literal change in body size. Amy explains how eating disorder behaviors such as restriction, binge eating, and purging can alter brain chemistry and disconnect people from their internal emotional world. When those behaviors begin to shift in recovery, many people suddenly find themselves face to face with emotions that may have been numbed or pushed aside for years. This can feel confusing, intense, and sometimes even frightening. Dr. Marianne and Amy talk about how eating disorders can function as powerful survival strategies that help people manage overwhelming emotional states. Rather than demonizing these behaviors, they explore how they often develop as adaptive coping mechanisms in environments where emotional expression was discouraged, dismissed, or unsafe. The conversation also highlights how family dynamics, culture, trauma, and neurodivergence can shape the way people learn to relate to their emotions. Many individuals grow up hearing messages that they are too sensitive, too emotional, or should simply get over what they feel. Over time, these messages can make emotional awareness feel dangerous or overwhelming. Amy introduces the role of somatic therapy in eating disorder recovery and explains how body-based approaches can help people reconnect with their internal sensations in a gradual and supportive way. Instead of forcing emotional processing, somatic work focuses on building safety in the nervous system and slowly increasing the capacity to notice and tolerate emotional states. Dr. Marianne and Amy also discuss how body image distress can function as a powerful distraction. It can feel easier to focus anger, fear, or grief on the body than to confront deeper sources of pain, such as relational conflict, social stress, or systemic injustice. Learning to translate body distress into emotional language can help people understand what their internal system is truly trying to communicate. This episode also addresses an important reality in eating disorder recovery: sometimes people appear more emotionally dysregulated as they begin healing. That increase in emotional expression can actually be a sign that someone is reconnecting with their inner world after years of emotional numbing. Amy shares several practical tools that can help people begin reconnecting with their emotions, including brief emotional check-ins throughout the day, asking simple questions about what feelings may be present when eating disorder urges arise, and using movement to help emotional energy move through the body. Dr. Marianne also brings in a neurodivergent-affirming lens, discussing how stimming, rocking, sensory soothing, and other nervous system supports can help people stay connected to themselves during emotionally intense moments. Together, they emphasize that emotions are not problems to eliminate. They are information from our internal systems that help guide us toward safety, boundaries, authenticity, and healing. In this episode, we discuss How eating disorder behaviors can numb or redirect difficult emotions. Why recovery often brings a surge of feelings to the surface, What somatic therapy is and how it can support eating disorder recovery. Why the thought “I feel huge” often reflects emotional distress rather than body change. How trauma, family systems, and culture shape emotional expression. Why body image distress can act as a distraction from deeper pain. The difference between compartmentalizing emotions and avoiding them. Why increased emotional intensity can be a sign of progress in recovery. Practical ways to begin noticing and naming emotions during recovery. How neurodivergent people may benefit from stimming and sensory supports.

What if confidence was never supposed to come before an action? In this episode, we're talking about what happened when each of us was forced to act long before we felt ready, and not one of us felt brave going in. The confidence showed up after, every single time, because taking action is where building confidence actually starts. We get into why self doubt convinces you to wait for a feeling that only arrives through experience, what it means to do it scared, and how gathering evidence from everything you've already survived becomes the proof you can handle whatever comes next, plus: Why waiting to feel ready is a confidence trap that keeps women postponing jobs, relationships, and dreams for years How Elizabeth went from napping through oral reports to hosting a podcast, and why it had nothing to do with waking up brave Why Tara's swim to islands a mile and a quarter offshore became the memory she borrows from every time something hard shows up How Maria reframes overcoming fear with her clients Why outsourcing your confidence to a goal weight, a paycheck, or a milestone keeps it permanently out of reach What midlife women carry that younger women don't How small, simple wins stack into the self trust that makes bigger changes possible If you've ever put your life on hold waiting to figure out how to be more confident, this episode is your reminder that you're allowed to start scared, and that the confidence you've been waiting for is just on the other side.

If eating has become a source of fear because of digestive symptoms, you're not alone. For many people living with IBS, IBD, and other GI conditions, repeated eating-related symptom flares create powerful food–symptom associations that make avoiding certain foods feel like the safest choice. Over time, however, this understandable protective response can become restrictive, limiting nutrition, social connection, and overall quality of life.In this episode, we're joined by digestive health and eating disorder dietitian expert, Janelle Smith, RDN, and GI psychologist Dr. Madison Simons to explore the overlap between gastrointestinal disorders, food fear, and disordered eating.Together, we explore how fear around eating develops, how healthcare providers tell the difference between healthy caution and fear that's limiting daily life, and how people can gradually rebuild confidence with eating through compassionate, evidence-based care. We also explain why working with a team—including a gastroenterologist, GI dietitian, and GI psychologist—can make all the difference in helping people feel more comfortable with food, expand their diets, and get back to living life more fully.In this episode, we discuss:Why progressively restricting foods can worsen fatigue, anxiety, nutrition, and overall quality of lifeWhy avoiding foods because of GI symptoms can be an adaptive response, your brain is trying to help you, and this isn't inherently "pathological"How the amygdala, your body's alarm system, and visceral hypersensitivity create powerful food-symptom associationsSigns that food avoidance is no longer serving you and may be driven by fearHow clinicians use open-ended conversations and screening tools to identify disordered eating and ARFID riskWhen dietary therapies like the low FODMAP diet are appropriate and when they're notLeast-restrictive nutrition strategies, including gentle food swaps and stepwise reintroductionWhich evidence-based supplements may help manage symptoms without adding unnecessary diet restrictionHow exposure ladders, "micro-dosing" feared foods, and coping strategies can reduce anticipatory anxietyWhy reframing symptoms as sensations and separating discomfort from danger is a powerful part of recoveryHow a collaborative care team can help people regain confidence, nourish their bodies, and expand their lives—not just their diets.f you or someone you love has ever felt overwhelmed by food fear because of digestive symptoms, this conversation offers reassurance, practical strategies, and hope. While some dietary changes may be appropriate to manage GI conditions, recovery is about learning to distinguish necessary restrictions from fear-driven avoidance, rebuilding trust in your body, and finding the right support so food can become a source of nourishment and enjoyment again.This episode has been sponsored by Ardelyx.Reference:Simons M, Issokson K.

Heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the United States for more than 100 years. But if we know so much more today than we did decades ago, why is it still such a major health concern? In this episode, Shelley Rael, MS, RDN, looks at how cardiovascular disease has changed over time, why survival rates have improved, and why prevention remains one of the biggest challenges in healthcare. Learn what counts as heart disease, why regular screening matters, and which lifestyle habits have the greatest impact on reducing risk. The discussion focuses on the bigger picture rather than fear, helping put headlines and statistics into perspective while highlighting practical steps that support long-term heart health.

What does it look like to chase a goal and then permit yourself to let it breathe for a season? Host Heather Caplan, RDN, is joined by her Lane 9 co-founder Alexis Fairbanks for an informal midsummer catch-up. They talk travel, food culture in Spain and Portugal, the very real struggle of treadmill running, women's sports they're following right now, and what Alexis is training for after deciding to take a much-needed break from marathon training. They also check in on Alexis's sub-3 marathon goal (where she's gotten as close as 3:02) and what it looks like to stop forcing it and let the training come to you instead. It's the kind of conversation they don't get to have nearly enough, since they live in different time zones and their schedules are constantly pulled in different directions. But when they do, it's a good one.

Fiber has been having a moment lately. With social media trends like “fibermaxxing" on the rise and countless fiber-rich products hitting the market, it's easy to get the misguided message that more is always better.

Protein is everywhere these days – from protein pasta to protein cereal – but do these foods actually deliver the benefits they promise? And how much protein do we really need? We spoke with Marily Oppezzo, PhD, MS, RDN, an instructor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center and head of the nutrition pillar at Stanford Lifestyle Medicine, about how much protein the average adult needs for overall health and muscle maintenance, whether high-protein diets offer meaningful benefits, and how protein needs change with age and activity level. She also explains the differences between animal and plant proteins and what the latest research says about protein and long-term health.

Are you carrying emotional weight that no one else can see? Do stress symptoms show up in your stomach, chest, shoulders, or sleep? Have you ever wondered whether your body is trying to tell you something about the pressure you carry? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Laryssa Creswell, a licensed clinical professional counselor, who provides trauma-focused treatment for women and teen girls and authored The Invisible Weight We Carry. We talk about the invisible weight women carry, how it can connect to family expectations and past experiences, and why the mind body connection matters when stress shows up physically. We also talk about what happens when medical answers do not explain the whole picture, and how we can begin noticing what is ours to carry and what is not. In this episode, you'll learn: What invisible weight really means and why it can feel so hard to name. How the mental load of motherhood, work, relationships, and daily life can affect your body and mind. Why physical stress symptoms may be connected to emotional stress, unresolved experiences, or old family patterns. How stress in the body can show up through headaches, stomach issues, chest tightness, muscle tension, exhaustion, and other stress symptoms. Why women often carry an emotional load that is shaped by expectations, caregiving, and the roles they were taught to play. Why past experiences can still influence present stress responses If you have ever felt like the stress in body is already speaking and you are carrying too much, but could not fully explain what “too much” even means, this episode will feel deeply validating.

What if menopause was never supposed to be something you had to fix? So many women reach midlife hearing the same message over and over: lose the weight, cut the carbs, control your body, and then maybe you'll feel healthy, confident, and in control. In this episode, we're joined by Jenn Salib Huber, registered dietitian and naturopathic doctor, to talk about what actually changes during perimenopause and menopause, why menopause weight gain can feel so loaded, and how body neutrality offers a different way to relate to your changing body. We get into menopause nutrition, diet culture, menopause metabolism, carbohydrates, strength, sleep, community, and why women over 40 deserve support that is rooted in nutrition science instead of fear, plus: Why menopause is the end of your period, not the end of you How perimenopause nutrition can support energy without cutting carbs Why menopause body changes do not mean your body is broken How body trust helps you stop outsourcing every food and movement choice Why healthy aging is about strength, mobility, connection, and care How community can become a missing ingredient in midlife wellness If you've ever felt confused by menopause advice, pressured to shrink your body, or unsure how to support yourself through this transition, this episode is your reminder that your body is not a problem to solve.

Many athletes are not good candidates for GLP-1s. But for some, these medications can be a useful tool.In episode 141 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I'm joined by fellow Sports Dietitian and endurance athlete Jennifer O'Donnell-Giles, MS, RDN for the final installment of my GLP-1 mini-series. Jenn brings 27 years of clinical experience to this conversation, along with a perspective that's evolved a lot over the past few years.Jenn and I discuss:How natural GLP-1 production can decline with ageWhy under-fueling is still the primary issue for many athletesWho should (and shouldn't) consider these medicationsPotential risks of GLP-1 use, including lean body mass loss and GI distressPotential benefits to inflammation, autoimmune conditions, gut health, and moodNutrition and supplement strategies when appetite is lowerDosing and microdosing for therapeutic use, not just weight lossWhy athletes cycle on and off GLP-1s, including around race trainingJenn's own story: early menopause, a cardiovascular family history, and how a short course of GLP-1s changed her health and performanceJenn's biggest takeaway: in the athlete population, a GLP-1 is just one piece of the puzzle, and works best alongside solid nutrition and lifestyle habits. Weight loss can be part of why someone uses one, but there are other potential benefits as well.Whether a GLP-1 is right for an athlete depends on who they are, why they want it, and whether the foundation is already in place. It's not appropriate for everyone, especially anyone with a history of disordered eating or a complicated relationship with food. Tune in for a nuanced, experience-based look at where these medications can genuinely help endurance athletes, and where they can do real harm.Links & ResourcesFollow Jenn on Instagram and visit her website Support my sponsor Tailwind Nutrition: Use code EATFORENDURANCE20 for 20% off your first purchaseJoin my membership, Fuel for Life Crew, for just $39/month (cancel anytime)Check out my free nutrition downloadsSupport the podcast by shopping all my affiliate links and joining my Patreon communityInterested in comprehensive, in-depth 1:1 coaching?

What if the food in your pantry could tell you more than what is on the nutrition label? So many of us walk through the grocery store looking for foods that seem healthy, easy, and nourishing, but we are rarely taught to ask where those foods came from, how they were grown, or what was lost along the way. We see beautiful produce that may have no flavor, pantry staples that all look the same, and labels that make big claims without always helping us understand what is actually in the food we are feeding ourselves and our families. In this episode, we're talking with Sarela Herrada, co-founder of SIMPLi, a regenerative organic pantry brand known for beans, grains, and oils. And instead of stopping at the usual conversation about protein, fiber, or what to buy at the store, Sarela helps us look at the bigger picture: how soil health, farming practices, indigenous agriculture, crop rotation, and food sourcing all shape the flavor, nutrition, and impact of what ends up on our plates. We get into what regenerative organic actually means, why sustainable agriculture is about more than a farming trend, and how food systems affect everything from nutrient density to farmer fairness, plus: Why nutrient dense food starts with the soil before it ever reaches your kitchen How organic beans, grains, and oils can carry more flavor and nourishment Why cooking beans from dried can be worth the extra step What makes Simpli beans different from conventional pantry staples Why food as medicine is not just a buzzword when we understand how food is grown How indigenous agriculture has shaped regenerative practices for generations Why asking where your food comes from can change the way you shop What to look for when choosing better food for your everyday meals If you've ever wondered whether your pantry staples are actually supporting your health, your values, and the kind of food system you want to participate in, this episode is your invitation to start asking important questions before your food ever hits the plate.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE HERE. If you've ever wondered what you should actually be eating to support fertility, this episode is for you. With so much conflicting nutrition advice online—from low-carb to plant-based to cutting out entire food groups—it can feel impossible to know what's truly best for your body when you're trying to conceive. That's why I invited Lily Nichols, RDN, back to the podcast. Lily is the bestselling author of Real Food for Fertility, and together we dive into what the research actually says about nourishing your body before pregnancy. In this conversation, we're breaking down the biggest fertility nutrition myths, discussing why nutrient density matters so much, and sharing the foods we both prioritize with our clients to support healthy hormones, ovulation, egg quality, and pregnancy. Whether you're actively trying to conceive, working to restore ovulation after period loss, or simply want to build a healthier foundation before pregnancy, this episode will help you feel confident about what belongs on your plate. In this episode, you'll learn: Why fertility is about nourishing your body—not restricting it The biggest misconceptions about fertility nutrition Why Lily challenges many conventional nutrition recommendations The truth about plant-based diets and fertility Why eggs are one of the best fertility foods you can eat The surprising benefits of liver and organ meats Which nutrients have the biggest impact on egg quality How cholesterol, healthy fats, and protein support hormone production Why nutrient density matters more than calorie counting Practical ways to start eating for fertility today Resources Mentioned Real Food for Fertility by Lily Nichols & Lisa Hendrickson-Jack Real Food for Pregnancy by Lily Nichols Loved this episode?

One of the most significant changes in women's health has officially arrived. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is now known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)—a name that better reflects the true nature of this common condition. In this episode, I sit down with Cory Ruth, RDN, women's health and PMOS expert, to discuss why this historic name change was made and what it means for the millions of women living with the condition. We explore how the previous name often led to confusion by focusing on the ovaries, when the condition is fundamentally driven by complex endocrine and metabolic dysfunction.

EPISODE 430. Intuitive eating - an evidence-based, weight-inclusive framework created by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch - can reduce diet mentality, ease disordered eating patterns, and improve your relationship with food, body, and self. In this episode, RDN and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Katie Hake,  distinguishes disordered eating from eating disorders, shares current statistics on prevalence, treatment gaps, and mortality, and clarifies common misconceptions (it's not simply “eating intuitively,” not mindful eating, and not a weight-loss approach). She outlines the 10 principles, addresses common fears like “I'll only eat junk food” or “I'll never stop eating,” discusses weight cycling and the correlation  between weight and health, and explains why intuitive eating is a journey that often needs support. What we cover:Disordered eating vs. eating disorders and why this mattersWhat intuitive eating is (and isn't) + the 10 principlesCommon fears, health concerns, and why the approach may not “stick”Read more on the blog here.Connect with Katie:Try our workouts for 7-days Free! | Download the AppWork with Us | www.katiehake.com/nutritioncoachingTake the Energy Quiz | www.katiehake.com/energyquizMeal Prep Like a Pro Without Obsessing Over Every Bite | www.katiehake.com/prepUse special link for 15% off | Omorpho Weighted Vest Text me your AHA moment from today's episode!

Nutrition After Stroke: Eating Safely When Swallowing Is Hard | Stronger After Stroke After a stroke, something as simple as eating can suddenly feel overwhelming or even dangerous. If you or someone you love has been told they need a modified texture diet, you probably have more questions than answers. In this episode of "Stronger After Stroke," Rosa Hart, BSN, R.N., SCRN, stroke nurse navigator, Norton Neuroscience Institute, sits down with Bethany Farmer, RDN, LDN, M.Ed., registered dietitian and clinical nutritionist, to take the confusion out of eating safely at home after stroke. Bethany brings clinical expertise and practical real-world guidance to the table. She breaks down what a modified texture diet means, how the IDDSI (International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative) framework works, and why following the prescribed diet level is one of the most important things a stroke survivor can do to protect their recovery. In this episode, you'll hear about: ·      What modified texture diets are and why they matter after stroke ·      Common foods that seem safe but can be dangerous for people with swallowing difficulties ·      How to thicken liquids correctly and consistently at home ·      Practical tips for keeping meals nutritious, appealing and dignified ·      Signs that swallowing may be improving and when to ask for a reevaluation ·      How caregivers can support safe mealtimes without added stress One of the biggest fears involving dysphagia is that mealtimes will never feel normal again. Bethany's message is one of both caution and hope. With the right knowledge and the right team, eating can still be safe, satisfying and even enjoyable. Whether you are a stroke survivor navigating a new way of eating, a caregiver trying to keep your loved one safe at the table or a clinician looking for patient-friendly resources to share, this episode is packed with information you can use right away.

"I have no doubt you could run that half-marathon, but I understand the hesitation." That note from her physical therapist is what Host Heather Caplan, RDN, needed to hear, and this episode is her passing it along to you. It's midsummer. Schedules are chaotic, training cycles are in-between, and sometimes the most useful thing a podcast can do is just pause and remind you: you've come further than you think.  In this solo episode, Heather reads a Substack essay she wrote in May after a long season of navigating plantar fasciitis, a hamstring tweak, a race she almost didn't run, and the slow, non-linear work of rebuilding. She reflects on why acknowledging the progress we've made is just as important as chasing the next goal. Whether you're in the middle of REDs recovery, returning from injury, navigating a hard training cycle, or just feeling like you're far from where you want to be, this one's for you!

Stress does not always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it shows up quietly, in the way you lose patience faster, feel drained before the day begins, or keep pushing through because everything still feels “manageable enough.” Many women spend years carrying responsibilities, meeting expectations, and moving through exhaustion without realizing how much stress has built up beneath the surface. What starts as feeling overwhelmed can slowly affect your energy, relationships, focus, and overall sense of well-being. In this episode, we are joined by Chetna Sethi, owner of Luminous Connections LLC. Chetna is an author, occupational therapist, burnout prevention specialist, and lifestyle balance coach who helps people recognize the early signs of burnout and create healthier, more sustainable ways of living and working. We talk about burnout in a way that goes beyond the usual conversation. Sometimes what we call burnout is actually pre-burnout, the stage where chronic stress begins to take a toll long before complete exhaustion sets in. This conversation explores why burnout can be difficult to recognize, how everyday expectations can keep people stuck in unhealthy patterns, and why exhaustion is not always solved by simply trying harder. We also discuss the competing demands that pull at our time and energy, especially for women who are balancing work, family, relationships, and personal well-being. In this episode you'll learn i: Early burnout symptoms and how chronic stress can build over time • Why burnout is not simply a resilience problem • How chronic stress can affect multiple areas of life • Why awareness is an important part of burnout prevention • The role workplace culture, organizational culture, and expectations can play in workplace burnout • Why meaningful work can still lead to exhaustion • Why burnout may be connected to a larger systems problem rather than individual failure Before you push through another week on autopilot, listen in for a more compassionate way to understand burnout, balance, and the stress you may have been carrying for too long.

In this episode, I'm talking about why so many attempts to change your relationship with food seem to fizzle out, even when you're motivated and genuinely want things to be different. Because constantly starting over doesn't mean you're lazy, uncommitted, or missing some magical piece of information. We're digging into the deeper reasons certain behaviors stick around, what they may actually be doing for you, and why curiosity is often far more helpful than criticism.  This conversation goes beyond meal plans and motivation and gets into the questions that most people never think to ask. Quotes "We don't lead with the question, what do we do about this? We lead with the question, what is this actually all about? It's the question that changes everything when someone is really willing to look at it, because the answer is usually not what you think it is." "Most of us are so focused on fixing the behavior that we haven't stopped to ask what the behavior is doing." "The reason change feels so hard isn't because you're weak; it's because something would have to be given up if you changed. Meaning, if the behavior is protective in some way, shape, or form, it's providing something for you." "You don't need to know the answer yet. The key is starting to think about this and removing the blame that we're pointing at ourselves and starting to ask questions." "Sometimes this isn't something that you can do alone, and that's where you might need a real person like a therapist or a dietician. Sometimes we need people who can see the patterns that we're too close to see." Frequently Asked Questions Why do I keep failing when I try to change my eating habits? Repeatedly struggling with food does not necessarily mean you lack motivation or discipline. Many behaviors serve a purpose, and understanding what they are providing can help create lasting change.   Why do I sabotage myself around food? What feels like self-sabotage is often a protective pattern. Behaviors around food may be helping you cope with emotions, stress, shame, or fear, even when those behaviors are no longer serving you well.   Why is giving up dieting so scary? For many people, dieting feels tied to safety, control, belonging, or fear of weight gain. Letting go of those rules can bring up emotions and beliefs that deserve attention and support.   What does fear of weight gain really mean? Fear of weight gain often goes beyond the number on the scale. It can be connected to shame, past experiences, fears of rejection, or beliefs about worth and acceptance.   Why do I feel stuck between wanting recovery and wanting to stay the same? Feeling pulled in two directions is called ambivalence, and it is a normal part of recovery. Having conflicting feelings does not mean you're doing anything wrong.   Does structured eating help with disordered eating? Structured eating provides consistency and helps create a foundation for healing. Many people benefit from eating regularly throughout the day rather than relying on hunger cues alone in the early stages of recovery.   Do I need a therapist or a dietitian for eating disorder recovery? Support can be helpful when you're too close to your own patterns to see them clearly. A therapist or dietitian can help you understand what is driving your behaviors and provide practical tools for recovery. Resources Be sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter!

What if beauty was never supposed to be something you had to earn? So many women reach midlife carrying the same message they were handed for years: Lose the weight, do your hair, wear the makeup, change your body, and then maybe you'll feel beautiful. Maybe you'll feel confident. Maybe you'll finally feel like you are enough. In this episode, we're talking about what happened when Maria was invited to speak at a women's beauty and self-love event, only to realize that another speaker was planning to frame weight loss as a path to self-love. And instead of staying quiet, saying yes, and ignoring the discomfort, Maria asked the question that changed the whole conversation: what message do you actually want women to leave with? We get into what it means to speak up when a message does not align with your values, why beauty and body value get tied together so easily, and how powerful it can be to name the contradiction when self-love is being sold through appearance pressure, plus: Why Maria almost turned down the event and what made her speak up instead How beauty culture and diet culture can work together to make women question their value Why losing weight should never be framed as the reason someone becomes worthy, lovable, or confident Why you do not have to educate everyone, but you can choose to plant a seed when someone seems reachable Why speaking up can create a ripple effect, especially when the person listening has influence in her own community What it looks like to redefine beauty beyond the mirror and build self-love that is not based on appearance If you've ever struggled with body comments, beauty standards, or the pressure to change yourself before you're allowed to feel good, this episode is your reminder that you are allowed to question the message and choose something more aligned.  Let's rebrand wellness together!

CKD Food Rules That Need an Update Kidney nutrition has a reputation for being restrictive, confusing, and honestly… a little intimidating. But for many patients with chronic kidney disease, the biggest problem isn't that they're eating a banana or adding tomatoes to dinner. It's that they've been handed outdated food rules that leave them scared to eat.In this episode, I'm joined by renal dietitian Lauren Budd Levy, MS, RDN, CSR, to talk about what clinicians need to know about kidney nutrition, especially if you don't work in nephrology.We cover the CKD diet rules that need an update, including potassium restriction, phosphorus additives, protein needs, sodium, hydration, electrolyte powders, and how to help patients enjoy summer cookouts, travel, and real life without feeling like their kidney diagnosis means they have to avoid everything.Key Takeaways:Why “avoid bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, oranges, and avocados” is often too simplistic  The easy label-reading tip patients can use to spot phosphorus additives  How to talk about protein needs in CKD without fueling confusion from high-protein diet culture  Why sodium reduction does not mean a no-salt, flavorless diet  What to tell patients about electrolyte powders, hydration, cookouts, and kidney-friendly travel snacks If your patient with CKD has ever asked, “Can I eat tomatoes?” “Do I need to avoid phosphorus?” or “Are electrolyte drinks safe for me?” this episode will help you answer with more confidence, nuance, and compassion.Resources Mentioned: Episode 43 | Nutrition and Kidney Disease: What's a Renal Diet?Episode 32 | How to Read a Nutrition Facts Label - with a Focus on Kidney HealthConnect with LaurenAny Questions?

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Jen Scheinman, MS, RDN, CDN, Director of Science Communications at Timeline. 

Urolithin A (Mitopure) and Mitochondrial Renewal--Muscle, Immune, and Skin Benefits: Jen Scheinman, MS, RDN, CDN, Director of Science Communications at Timeline details urolithin A and Timeline's branded supplement Mitopure. She describes urolithin A's discovery through pomegranate research and worm studies showing a 45% lifespan increase. She discusses human research including improved walking distance and clinical outcomes in muscle endurance and strength. Urolithin A is presented as supporting mitochondrial health by promoting mitophagy—recycling damaged mitochondria—distinct from other mitochondrial supports like CoQ10 and NAD precursors. They explain most people cannot produce enough urolithin A from foods because only 30–40% convert precursors via the microbiome and it would require about six cups of pomegranate juice daily. Dosing discussed is 500–1,000 mg/day via gummies, capsules, or powder, with effects developing over months. She reviews emerging research on immune aging, preclinical work on brain and neurodegenerative conditions, and topical urolithin A for skin.

Have you ever eaten past the point of fullness and immediately thought, “What is wrong with me?”  Maybe you told yourself you had no self-control. Maybe you promised you would start over on Monday. Maybe you felt guilty, frustrated, or ashamed, then tried to fix it with another plan, another set of rules, or another attempt to “be good.” In this episode, we're talking about the restrict binge cycle, and why the story you've been told about it may be completely wrong. Because what if your eating patterns are not a sign that you need more willpower or self-control? What if your body is responding exactly the way it was designed to respond? And what if the very thing you keep turning to for control is the thing keeping you stuck? We're breaking down why food restriction can lead to intense cravings, overeating, and shame, and why willpower is not the answer most people think it is. We also talk about the sneaky ways restriction can show up, even when you are not technically “on a diet.” You'll learn: What the restrict binge cycle is and why so many people get stuck in it Why overeating is not always a lack of self-control How physical restriction and mental restriction can both affect your relationship with food How hunger hormones shift when your body feels deprived, and why willpower was never going to win that fight Why certain foods can feel more tempting when you label them as “bad” or off-limits Why the guilt and shame after a binge keep the binge cycle alive long after the eating stops How diet culture profits from making you believe you are the problem Why self-compassion is such an important part of healing your relationship with food This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt like they cannot trust themselves around food. We hope it helps you see that your body is not the enemy, and that there may be a much kinder, more freeing way forward. Let's rebrand wellness together! Elizabeth, Tara & Maria   Connect with us!

What does it actually take to diagnose REDs, and what happens after? If you've ever wondered what's going on behind the scenes when a sports medicine physician suspects REDs, this episode is your inside look. Host Heather Caplan, RDN, sits down with Dr. Rosa Pasculli, a non-operative sports medicine physician based in Atlanta, to walk through the full medical picture: how REDs gets diagnosed, what labs actually matter and why, and what treatment looks like in practice. It's a masterclass in multidisciplinary care, and a reminder of just how important it is to have a physician on your team who knows how to ask the right questions. Dr. Pasculli is a former competitive dancer turned sports medicine physician with a particular clinical interest in bone stress injuries and REDs. She is the head team physician for Emory University, overseeing 450+ varsity athletes, and serves as a consulting physician for the Atlanta Ballet, the Georgia Ballet, and the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders. She also sees runners, weekend warriors, and masters athletes, including, as she mentions in this episode, an 80-year-old woman doing an Ironman. 07:59- How Rosa got into sports medicine and the female athlete space 12:44- What she's seeing in the clinic: awareness of REDs and where education still falls short 14:47- REDs as a diagnosis of exclusion: what that means and why it takes a team 15:51- Lab work 101: CBC, CMP, ferritin, thyroid, and what Rosa is actually looking for 21:48- DEXA scans: who needs one and when, including the Female Athlete Triad Coalition's updated guidelines 24:22- Medical management of REDs: risk stratification, the REDs CAT2 tool, and keeping athletes in sport where possible 25:26- When it becomes dangerous: bradycardia, orthostatic changes, and the malnourished heart 28:34- Setting expectations with patients and parents around timeline and testing frequency 30:31- The Emory Women's Sports Medicine program and the cross-institutional community behind it Resources mentioned: IOC RED-S CAT2 Tool (2023)- free Excel-based risk stratification tool for clinicians Female Athlete Triad Coalition- updated DEXA scan guidelines for adolescent and adult athletes Emory Women's Sport and Wellness Conference- Saturday, August 15th, in-person and virtual; registration opening soon Connect with Dr. Pasculli through the Lane 9 Directory at lane9project.org/directory Connect + get support: Are you an athlete?

Have you ever said yes and felt your stomach drop the second the word left your mouth? Have you ever gone along with something, not because you wanted to, but because saying no felt too risky, too selfish, or just too hard? That discomfort has a name, and it runs a lot deeper than conflict avoidance or wanting to keep the peace. People pleasing is a fear based pattern, and in this episode, we get into what's really driving it, why saying no can feel almost impossible, and what it actually costs you when your self worth gets tied to how much you give. In this episode, you'll hear: What people pleasing in relationships really looks like: overgiving, over-helping, and automatically going along with what everyone else wants Where genuine kindness ends and self abandonment begins, and how to recognize which one's driving you How self worth, approval seeking, and conditional love shape the way you try to stay accepted and loved Why body image can become another arena where people pleasers learn to seek approval and shrink themselves to fit in How simple boundary language can help you pause before the automatic yes takes over Why learning to sit with discomfort is the real path to choosing yourself If you've ever felt responsible for everyone else's comfort, this one's for you. Your self worth was never supposed to depend on how much you help, how agreeable you are, or how well you keep the peace. Let's rebrand wellness together! Elizabeth, Tara & Maria   Connect with us!
