"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. If you've ever left a doctor's office feeling dismissed, shamed, or unheard, this episode will remind you: you're not alone, and your boundaries matter.TIMESTAMPS:02:05 What weight stigma looks like in healthcare05:20 Correlation vs. causation in weight + health08:40 The pressure of being a provider in a larger body12:10 Imposter syndrome + perfectionism in the work15:45 Saying no at the doctor's office: Jenna's story20:25 People-pleasing, fawning, and boundary holding24:10 Anger as protection + why your boundaries matter27:00 Advice for advocating for yourself at appointmentsRESOURCES:Other episodes mentioned:Ep 29: Healing the Medical NarrativeEp 36: Advocating For Yourself at the DoctorBri's Free Resource: 7-Step Guide to Shift Body Grief to Radical Body AcceptanceGet in Touch with Jenna HERE!WANT MORE OF BRI?Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri Website: https://bodyimagewithbri.com/ Join the Body Grievers VAULT: https://www.bodyimagewithbri.com/the-vault Use the coupon code BODYGRIEVERSCLUB for $50 off your purchase.

"If you treat your body poorly outside of the bedroom, it's not like you pass through the doorway into your bedroom and all of a sudden you're super tuned into your body and confident."This week, we're diving into a topic that's often pushed into the shadows but deeply impacts our well-being: sex. 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.

"Leaky Gut"—or more accurately increased intestinal permeability—has become a buzzword in the world of gut health. It's often blamed for everything from bloating and fatigue to autoimmune diseases and food sensitivities. Social media is full of gut-healing advice and restrictive plans like the AIP and GAPS diets, which claim to ‘heal' the gut lining and reverse chronic illness. But how much of this is supported by real evidence? And what do we actually know about intestinal permeability in humans? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we cut through the confusion and break down the science of “leaky gut”.Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

“I really felt like alcohol was the one thing that was keeping me from being the person that I wanted to be."If you've ever wondered how alcohol might be impacting your ability to show up fully in your life, or if you're just curious about making any change that feels a little scary, this episode is for you. I sat down with Sumner Brooks, a registered dietitian, mom, and author of How to Raise an Intuitive Eater, who bravely shares her story of quitting alcohol and how it changed everything from her mental health to her parenting and beyond.While we usually focus on food and body image on Diet Culture Rebel, today we zoom out to explore what it means to get curious about anything that might be getting in the way of living your fullest, most connected life. Sumner opens up about what finally made sobriety "stick” for her after years of trying, how vulnerability paved the way for real change, and the actual joy and presence she discovered in sobriety.We also talk about how ingrained alcohol is in our daily lives and our culture, what it looks like to navigate those familiar “Why aren't you drinking?” comments, and where food and alcohol are similar (and importantly, different) when it comes to compulsion, habituation, and addiction. Sumner's story is a powerful reminder that even if everything looks fine on the outside, you're allowed to want more peace and presence on the inside.No matter what you're working on - food, alcohol, or something entirely different - I invite you to go into this episode with curiosity and self-compassion. Sometimes, you don't even know when you need to hear something until you do.What You'll Learn:How Sumner realized alcohol was keeping her from showing up in the life she worked so hard to buildThe role of vulnerability and community storytelling in making big life changesWhy “mommy wine culture” is so normalized, and how that intersects with diet culture's mixed messages about food and alcoholHow reading other women's stories helped Sumner finally quit drinking for goodHow sobriety changed Sumner's relationship with herself, her parenting, and her ability to be fully presentThe real differences between intuitive eating and “intuitive drinking”, and why abstinence from alcohol is not the same as cutting out foodsThank you so much to Sumner for sharing her truth so openly and authentically. If this episode sparked anything for you about drinking, food, parenting, or just wanting more presence in your life, hold onto that curiosity and let it guide your next step, even if it's small.Check out Sumner's book, How to Raise an Intuitive Eater: Raising the Next Generation with Food and Body Confidence.Come back next week for another episode and connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebel.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

 “It makes me wonder, what things happening today will we look back on years from now with similar eyes and say, 'I can't believe we let this happen?'”If you ever watched The Biggest Loser and found yourself rooting for the contestants (and maybe even feeling inspired), this episode will prompt you to look at it all through a very different lens. Today's conversation is not just about a reality TV show, but about exposing the extreme and unsafe practices it normalized, the harmful beliefs it perpetuated about health and body size, and how so many of those beliefs are still shaping our lives today.I'm breaking down the new Netflix documentary, Fit for TV, and sharing my reflections as a former viewer, a registered dietitian, and someone who now sees just how toxic shows like The Biggest Loser have been for our collective understanding of health. From unrealistic exercise routines to extreme calorie restriction, public humiliation, and the perpetuation of weight stigma, these harmful narratives stuck with me for years.We dig into the consequences contestants faced, including metabolic slowdown, weight regain, and lifelong shame, and we shine a light on why the system set us all up to fail. My hope is that after listening, you'll deepen your understanding of why dieting fails us, how weight stigma sneaks into everyday life, and what it really looks like to pursue health with compassion instead of shame.Most importantly, we talk about what you can do to unlearn these narratives and break the cycle for yourself and for those around you. Whether you watched The Biggest Loser or not, this episode will help you see diet culture with a more critical, informed, and compassionate lens.What You'll Learn:Why the practices on The Biggest Loser were incredibly unsafe, and why they were normalized for entertainmentThe reality of metabolic adaptation, weight regain, and the toll of weight cycling on our healthThe importance of challenging harmful narratives and stepping away from self-blame when diets don't “work”How weight stigma shows up in sneaky waysWhat it looks like to move forward with a healthier, more compassionate view of all bodies (including yours!)You are not failing if a diet hasn't worked for you. The system is flawed, not you. Thank you for listening and for being willing to look a little more deeply and compassionately at what we've been taught about health.

The Blood Type Diet has been touted as a personalized approach to eating—claiming that your blood type determines the foods you should eat (or avoid) to optimize health, lose weight, and prevent disease.

And where did this idea even come from?

"I believe the fear around Seed Oils feeds into the idea that we have complete control over our health outcomes and that eating perfectly will guarantee better health. This is far from the truth..."Are Seed Oils really the enemy or is this another story from diet culture? In this episode, we're diving into the truth about seed oils. We're covering what they are, what the research actually says, and why the fear around them is often rooted in diet culture, privilege, not health.I'm excited to share the facts with you on this episode so you can feel calmer and more confident in your food choices. This episode isn't about giving you rules or telling you to track what kind of oils are in every single thing that you eat. It is about equipping you with knowledge so that you can challenge misinformation that might otherwise leave you feeling anxious, guilty, or obsessing over food.If learning about nutrition still feels overwhelming or distressing, that's okay. You don't have to force yourself through this episode if it's not what you need right now. Take care of yourself and come back when it feels approachable. When you are ready, I'd much rather you learn about seed oils here in a space that prioritizes your relationship with food rather than from a diet culture source that doesn't.What You'll Learn:What Seed Oils are and why they are used so widelyThe main arguments behind the anti-Seed Oil movementWhy it's often NOT a good idea to focus on eliminating Seed Oils What to focus on besides eliminating Seed Oils, especially if you want to prioritize your relationship with foodHow to challenge nutrition misinformation onlineWhy the fear around Seed Oils is often rooted in classism and wellness elitism, not health Thanks for being here! I'd love to hear what you think about Seed Oils after listening to this episode. Does avoiding Seed Oils make sense to your overall health, budget, or relationship with food?

In nutrition, uncertainty isn't just common—it's expected. Science evolves, studies conflict, and context matters. But in the space between “we're still learning” and “we know for sure,” there's opportunity—and not always the good kind. Enter a formula that's been used again and again: highlight the confusion, cast doubt on conventional advice, then sell a clear, confident solution. In this episode, we explore how the natural uncertainty in nutrition science is often weaponized—turning curiosity into fear, and questions into clicks, followers, and sales. So join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we dive into the world (and the formula!) of nutrition misinformation. Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

Hey friend,   Today's episode is very helpful and insightful. My guest today named what I think so many of us either have or do struggle with in how we view our bodies. I definitely share a big about my background with body image challenges as well as where I'm at with things right now.    If you're someone who finds yourself thinking about what you'll eat constantly throughout the day, who goes through what seems like outfits before selecting the right one and then still find yourself feeling concerned about how it looks on you, or if you just struggle with general discontentment with your body and how you look - you're not alone. AND today's guest has hope and encouragement for you!   I hope this conversation blesses you!

In midlife, women are often handed diets disguised as wellness. More ways to stay young, stay thin, stay "timeless."Debra Benfield, RDN, joins me for a conversation that sits right at the intersection of diet culture, anti-fatness, and anti-aging. Together we talk about how these forces converge in midlife—often making women particularly vulnerable to disordered eating and harmful messaging at exactly the stage when we deserve peace, rest, and joy.Some of the things we get into…* Perimenopause and menopause diet culture messages* Why aging creates heightened vulnerability to diet and wellness culture* The impact of stress and restrictive eating on longevity* Mid-life marketing of disordered eating advice* Wrinkles, Botox, and the skin-care industry* The tyranny of the “belly fat” narrative* How wellness culture capitalizes on our fear of aging and death* Whether strength training is part of the anti-aging conversation* The ways ableism, sexism, and agism collide in media* How to navigate fear-mongering messages about food, weight, and health* What we can do to reclaim our time and energy and powerThis is an episode about reclaiming our power and time from the industries profiting off our insecurities. About saying no to being sold “youth in a bottle” and yes to embracing the fullness of who we are—wrinkles, softness, wisdom, and all.Debra has helped hundreds of women heal their relationship with food and their bodies over her 35-year career as a Registered Dietitian. She specializes in the prevention and treatment of disordered eating, and brings her passion, expertise, and lived experience to the intersection of pro-aging and body liberation work. Deb's work is rooted in helping clients recognize internalized ageism and end it, dismantle internalized diet culture and fatphobia, see midlife and beyond as a time of Emergence, nourish their bodies to support vitality and aging, and develop a respectful partnership with their bodies.Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

Why is our practice The Gymnast Nutritionist® even though we are all Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (specialized in pediatrics and sports nutrition). Marketing. No one knows what a dietitian is. Not even in the hospital. We get all dietricians, dietary, nutritionalists, etc. But, there are HUGE differences between dietitians and nutritionists. We are not created equally. And, like in any professions, they bad dietitians and bad nutritionists. But, I am confident to say there are way more “nutritionists”, health coaches, etc who do harm out there bc they just don't have the training needed to do what they're trying to do. Now, this is going to come off as all “high and mighty” which is funny because if any other professions—doctor, nurse, physical therapist, etc was saying you shouldn't try to do those professions without the training + credentials, no one would bat an eye. But I guess the thing about nutrition is everyone eats, everyone has an opinion about what people eat, and especially former gymnasts—they think they know it all.I bring all this up bc it's about knowing what's up as a consumer and making sure you're choosing qualified professionals to help your CHILD and adolescent gymnast. It's one thing if as an adult you want to work with some personal trainer or health coach to help you with your nutrition—whatever, that's your choice. But for your own child or teen--- we need to be more careful because they are not just small adults. Their physiology is different, their development and cognition is different, their nutrition needs are different, and the growth piece is so so so critical and even adult dietitians don't know how to assess this (including NCAA dietitians—you're working with adults). In this episode you'll learn: Why The Gymnast Nutritionist® team is made up of highly specialized Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (no "health coaches" over here)The differences between a "nutritionist" and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)What it takes to become a RDNWhy you should only hire a RDN to work with your gymnast on nutrition versus a personal trainer, health coach, "nutritionist", etc

You are going to learn how diet culture has evolved over the decades and walk away feeling more grounded the next time a new trend comes around.Today I'm joined by Dr. Jillian Lampert, who is the Vice President of Strategy and Public Affairs for Accanto Health, and she's done incredible work in advocacy, education, and care access over the last 30 years.Dr. Jillian first became a dietitian during the Fen-Phen era and has seen diet culture evolve firsthand. As someone with lived experience of an eating disorder herself, she brings so much compassion and insight to this conversation and to the work she does each day.What You'll Learn:The wild, ever-changing landscape of diet culture and weight loss trends, How to spot diet culture as it continues to evolve,How the craze behind GLP-1s is connected to Fen-Phen in the 90's,Why diet foods can act like a permission slip to overeat and pull us away from body attunement,How dietary fat plays an important role in satisfaction and fullness, andThe alarming statistic connecting dieting and eating disordersThanks for being here today!
