“Once food noise quiets down, it doesn't just change the way we eat. It changes the way we live.”Food struggles don't always show up as we may expect. They can sneak up on us, disguised as discipline, willpower, or our latest attempt at “being good.” But in reality, those all-consuming thoughts about what, when, and how much we eat are draining. They're like an app running in the background, sapping our energy and joy each day. In this episode, I sit down with Kim, a past client who spent decades tangled in food noise, emotional eating, and hidden food rules she didn't realize existed.Kim opens up about the reality of secret eating, binge cycles, and the mental toll of battling cravings. Her story is vulnerable, honest, and incredibly relatable. Kim shares what it was like to numb out around food, the shift from excitement to guilt after eating, and how food secretly dictated her self-care, identity, and social life. But things changed, and Kim's journey will show you how healing your relationship with food is not only possible, but transformative.Together, we explore how intuitive eating moved Kim away from relying on willpower and food rules, toward genuine self-compassion, body reconnection, and emotional growth. Whether you're used to white knuckling through cravings or hiding evidence of what you ate, Kim's personal wins, tips, and breakthroughs will give you a clearer lens for spotting sneaky food rules and freeing up mental space so that you can enjoy food on your terms.What You'll Learn:How to spot sneaky food rules and food noise draining your mental energyPractical ways to honor fullness without relying on willpowerWhy emotional eating isn't about discipline—and how dieting makes it harderThe power of self-compassion and how it decreases shame and food guiltA simple plan for coping with emotions that doesn't hinge on food rulesHow healing your relationship with food can expand self-care, compassion, and everyday joyKim's story is full of hope, real-life strategies, and a reminder that change is possible - even after years of struggle. I'm so grateful to Kim for sharing her journey, and I know her insights will help you quiet your own food noise and build a peaceful relationship with food.If you've ever thought, “Why is it so hard to stop eating when I'm full?” - you're not alone.

Few nutrients get as much hype as vitamin D. It's been promoted for everything from stronger bones and better mood to reduced risk of chronic disease and cancer prevention.

But what does the science actually say about how much Vitamin D you should be taking? And are there truly health benefits of mega-dosing Vitamin D? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we dig into the ‘sunshine vitamin' and shed light on the facts (and fiction) surrounding this much-debated nutrient.Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

Ever wonder why some foods feel impossible to stop eating? We pull back the curtain on how ultra-processed products are engineered to hook your taste buds, spike your blood sugar, and keep you coming back—while quietly nudging up your risk for type 2 diabetes, mood swings, and gut disruption. With nutritionist Julie Ruelle from Go Coco, we translate the science into everyday choices that protect your hormones, energy, and sanity.We start by separating helpful processing—like freezing vegetables or turning milk into yogurt—from ultra-processed foods packed with dyes, stabilizers, artificial sweeteners, and ingredients your grandparents wouldn't recognize. Julie breaks down the label tricks behind words like “healthy” and “vegan,” and shows how to scan ingredient lists before nutrition panels. From there, we explore the gut-brain axis: why additives and quick carbs can inflame your microbiome, trigger cravings, and derail your mood and focus. You'll learn how probiotic foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut) and prebiotic fibers (whole grains, beans, veggies, fruit) rebuild your gut—and how noticeable improvements often start within two weeks. We share practical ideas: replace the 60-gram sugar coffee drink with a home version using cinnamon and vanilla, upgrade cereal by choosing short-ingredient options and adding nuts and berries, and swap fruit bars for whole fruit plus seeds. We also talk organic priorities for meats and dairy, and why calorie counting can mislead you when nutrient density is the bigger lever.If you're ready to step off the sugar-crash roller coaster and build meals that steady your energy and mood, this conversation gives you the roadmap—clear, doable, and built for real life.

"I hear from people every single day about how they've been harmed physically and emotionally by things that influencers and content creators online have sold to them."You've probably noticed diet trends come and go, from raw vegan frugivore diets to the current protein obsession, but what's less obvious is how healing your relationship with food changes more than just how you eat. It shifts how you feel, how you relate to others, and even how you view your past. In my conversation with Registered Dietitian and content creator, Abbey Sharp, we dig deep into the messy middle of food healing: from the anger and blame many of us experience at the start, to the compassion and empathy that grows with time.We look back on diet trends that might make you say, “Wait, did we really do that?” - like viral fruit-only diets and food combining rules. Abbey shares her journey combating misinformation online, the harm caused by extreme influencers, and how relentless trends keep fueling confusion and frustration. Together, we talk about the power of not rushing healing and why allowing yourself to feel and reflect can eventually make empathy come easily and naturally.From what it's like to be on the receiving end of body comments, to how embracing a balanced, non-extreme way of eating is truly health-promoting, this episode reminds us that while diet culture is loud, you are not alone in your healing. Whether you're in the thick of it or starting to feel things shift, there is hope for a more peaceful, intuitive relationship with food.What You'll Learn:What it looks like to move from anger and resentment to compassion and empathy in your food healing journeyHow diet culture trends from the early 2010s to today's “SkinnyTok” cause real harm, especially onlineWhy quick fixes and extreme approaches are not sustainable, and what truly promotes lasting healthHow Abbey handled body comments during a challenging season, and her advice for setting boundariesWhat “fake it till you make it” means when it comes to practicing food freedom and body neutralityThe biggest nutrition myths still floating around online (and which one Abbey would love to erase forever!)Whether you feel stuck or frustrated in your journey, I promise you are not alone in questioning diet culture. I'm so grateful Abbey shared the science, her sass, and her vulnerable real-life stories on the show.Abbey's Resources:TikTokInstagramYouTubePodcast: Bite Back with Abbey SharpGrab the free Honoring Fullness Checklist at DietCultureRebel.com/Checklist to start building a more positive relationship with food.Come back next week for another episode and connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebelStruggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

In this episode of The Body Grievers Club, Bri sits down with Registered Dietitian and Certified Body Trust® Specialist Aaron Flores, RDN. They dig into how grief shows up in men's body image work, why “optimization culture” keeps so many dudes stuck, and what it really means to move from control to trust without the shame-fix-rush.Bri and Aaron unpack the lifelong messages men receive about “fixing” their bodies, the pressure to perform masculinity, and the quiet grief of losing the hope of thinness, rippedness, or former abilities. They talk about straddling two ships, diet culture and body liberation, and why permission to be in the in-between is often the bridge to values-aligned change.They also explore community as an antidote to isolation, how empathy (not fixing) rewires the story, and why acceptance = “the willingness to receive my body as it is.” From Big Mouth's “shame wizard” to Yoda's wisdom, this convo uses metaphor to make the work doable. If you've ever felt like you should just “hack” your way to a better body, this episode offers a different path: zoom out, name the grief, and build trust - slowly, gently, on purpose.TIMESTAMPS:02:10 Aaron's story: from running a VA weight-loss program to Body Trust

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Royo Baked Goods, a family-run Brooklyn bakery that's making some bold claims about their bread and bagels. With nutrition numbers that seem almost impossible—80-calorie bagels and 30-calorie bread slices—Jenn knew she had to investigate what's really going on. What she found in the nutrition facts and ingredient list sparked an interesting conversation about modern food alternatives. Are these the answer to enjoying your favorite carbs guilt-free, or is something else going on here? Jenn dives into what makes these products different, what caught her attention, and why the "healthier" option might not always be the best choice nutritionally.

"Intuitive eating is not about perfectly staying within a calorie number or a maintenance threshold. It is about developing trust with your body and using each eating experience as feedback, not a test of whether you pass or fail."Have you ever felt like you just can't stop eating certain foods, even when you're full? Or maybe you find yourself second-guessing every food choice, worried you're eating too much as you try to follow intuitive eating? These everyday struggles can leave you feeling stuck in guilt, confusion, and chaos around food.In this solo episode, I'm answering real and vulnerable questions Rebels sent me on Instagram. These are questions I hear all the time as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. From why we overeat “delicious” food, to how to handle food indecision and what it means to “eat too many calories” as an intuitive eater, I'm breaking down myths, normalizing the messiness, and offering practical, compassion-filled tools to help you trust your body again.You'll also hear a relatable story from fellow Rebel, Jaimie, who went from tracking every calorie and overeating while on vacation to truly enjoying food and stopping when full. Together, we'll look at the patterns that keep so many of us stuck, the real reasons eating can feel chaotic, and why permission, structure, and kindness are game-changers on your intuitive eating journey.What You'll Learn:Why honoring fullness isn't about willpower and what's really behind that “can't stop eating” feelingHow food rules and restriction actually make overeating more likely, and what to do about itPractical tools for navigating indecision and food guilt so eating can feel less chaoticThe mindset shifts that help you move away from perfectionism with food and listen to your body's unique needsWhy occasional overeating is normal (even for intuitive eaters) and how every eating experience is an opportunity to learnHow to zoom out and look at the big picture of health, beyond any single meal or calorie countRemember, Rebels - this work isn't about getting every food choice perfect. It's about showing up with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to trust your body one step at a time.

"Trainings started to become much harder because I would restrict myself so much. Then the next day, maybe I'd binge a lot, so then I wouldn't eat for a couple days. It all was falling apart in front of my eyes, but I just didn't really know how to get out of it."Behind every sports headline, there's a story about body image, food, and the unseen pressures athletes face. In this episode, I sit down with Katrina Gorry, professional footballer, West Ham United Women's captain, and proud mom of two. Katrina opens up about how sport shaped her relationship with food and her body, from the thrill of being the only girl on the pitch to the darker moments of restrictive eating and the long, winding road toward healing.Katrina gets real about the toll of weigh-ins, body scans, and a culture that glorifies hyper-vigilance over food, describing how these “healthy” habits quietly spiraled into something more harmful. We talk about how food became her way to find control during a deeply vulnerable time, what finally made her realize she needed support, and how injury and isolation only deepened the struggle. You'll hear how years of unspoken food struggles slowly gave way to honest conversations, self-compassion, and ultimately, the transformation she experienced through pregnancy and motherhood.Whether you're an athlete, a sports fan, or someone who's ever found themselves stuck in a cycle of food rules and body shame, Katrina's courage will resonate. We dig deep into why so many food struggles in sport go unnoticed and why sharing these stories - out loud, in community - matters so much.What You'll Learn:The hidden connection between disordered eating, eating disorders, and the world of sportWhy behaviors like tracking food and obsessing over body metrics are so easily mistaken for “healthy” in athletic settingsHow pressure from coaches, weigh-ins, and team culture can fuel food and body image strugglesWhy recognizing you're struggling with food is often the first, and hardest, step toward changeWhat the realities of long-term recovery from disordered eating actually look like, both on and off the fieldHow motherhood and pregnancy reshaped Katrina's relationship with her body and inspired a more compassionate approach to foodThank you so much for listening and for helping create a space where these conversations can spark real change.

#286: My doctor first recommended NAD to me as I was preparing my body for pregnancy. She explained how it could support ovarian and reproductive health, a topic that's especially important for women with PCOS, where insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress accelerate cellular damage and aging. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Salzman, Harvard-trained physician, and Chief Medical Officer at Wonderfeel, to explore the science behind NAD and why it matters for women's health at every stage. We discuss: - What NAD is and why levels decline as we age - How NAD⁺ supports energy, hormone balance, and fertility with PCOS - The connection between NAD, PCOS, and metabolic health

In this episode of The Body Grievers Club, Bri sits down with Registered Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Counselor Jenna Talleda. They talk about what it really looks like to advocate for yourself at the doctor's office. Together, they unpack the realities of weight stigma in healthcare, the pressure to shrink as a provider in a larger body, and the emotional labor of holding boundaries when your care is on the line.Bri and Jenna name the hidden agendas behind routine weigh-ins, the harm of ignoring eating disorder histories, and the frustration of being gaslit by providers who reduce complex health concerns to a number on the scale. This conversation isn't just about weight. It's about agency, self-advocacy, and refusing to co-sign harmful narratives about your body.They also explore the people-pleasing tendencies that make “no” so hard to say, why fawning is a trauma response, and how anger can sometimes be the most protective force in recovery.

I sat down with Vanessa Marin, a licensed sex therapist, to talk about how the cultural scripts we've grown up with shrink women, disconnect us from our bodies, and rob us of joy, in and out of the bedroom. Just like the food rules diet culture imposes, these messages around sex convince us we're the problem when things don't feel right, when in reality the system is broken, not us.If you've ever felt embarrassed, awkward, or ashamed talking about sex (or avoided the conversation entirely), you're not alone. Vanessa and I discuss how body image struggles show up in the bedroom, why pleasure is truly an act of rebellion, and simple, shame-free steps you can start taking to reconnect with your body and advocate for your own needs. Whether you're single or in a relationship, there are actionable takeaways to help you create a more enjoyable and empowered sex life.I know it can be hard to open up about these topics, but the more we have these conversations, the less alone we feel, and the more power we have to create real change. Just like becoming an intuitive eater or ditching diet culture, prioritizing your pleasure is about reclaiming your own narrative and choosing freedom. What You'll Learn: Why so many of us struggle to talk about sex, and why it's NOT your fault How cultural scripts teach women to shrink, disconnect from their bodies, and put others' needs first The surprising ways body image struggles show up in the bedroomHow tuning into pleasure in small, everyday ways can heal your relationship with your bodyFive conversations to have with your partner that will transform your love lifeWhy embracing pleasure is a true act of rebellion (and how collective sisterhood can make advocacy feel less overwhelming)I hope this conversation sparks a little rebellion in you, wherever you are on your journey. Remember: there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, whether we're talking about food, your body, or your sex life. Permission granted to claim your pleasure, advocate for your needs, and break free from shame.
