“When overeating is not treated like a moral failure, it loses its power.”Do you feel the pressure to finish every bite on your plate, even after you're full, and wonder why it's so hard to stop? You're definitely not alone. In this episode, we unpack the roots of clean plate club struggles, from childhood dinner table rules and food scarcity to family beliefs and diet culture, and explore why it's not simply a matter of discipline.

You'll walk away with practical tools to build mindful pauses into your meals, reconnect with your hunger and fullness cues, and eat in a way that truly feels good - without guilt or outdated rules attached.What You'll Learn:Why stopping when you're full isn't about willpower or discipline, and what's actually driving the struggleHow childhood experiences, praise, and family dynamics might have shaped your “clean plate club” habitsWhy compassion (not self-blame) is the key to loosening the grip of these patternsPowerful mindset shifts to start eating what and how much feels good to youHow to reconnect with your body's hunger and fullness signalsPractical action steps to gently break free from automatic plate-cleaningResources:Grab the Hunger & Fullness Scale Guide at DietCultureRebel.com/hungerfullnessscale and take your next step toward building trust with your body and food.Episode 230, The Hunger and Fullness Scale: What It Is and How to Use ItConnect 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.

#295: In this episode, I'm sitting down with Josie, who lost 120 pounds naturally with PCOS after finally learning how to support her body instead of fighting it. Josie was diagnosed at 17 and struggled with insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, irregular periods, hair loss, and facial hair. She did all the “right” things, ate healthy, worked out hard, and still felt stuck. We talk about the moment things clicked for her, why lowering stress changed everything, and how simplifying her approach, cutting sugar, prioritizing protein, going gluten and dairy free, and supporting her hormones helped her feel like herself again. This conversation is for anyone who feels exhausted by extremes and just wants a calmer, more realistic way forward.

"I love reframing cravings as a way that your body is trying to communicate with you, because to me that seems so much kinder than labeling them as something bad or wrong."Diet culture has a sneaky way of showing up in our everyday lives, whether it's feeling out of control around sugar, getting weighed at the doctor's office, or worrying about how society's obsession with thinness is impacting our kids.

#294: If you have PCOS and feel like you're “doing everything right” but still struggling with hunger, cravings, or weight…this episode is for you. Women are often taught that their bodies are the problem, so when something doesn't work, we blame ourselves. But what if the issue isn't willpower… it's the formulation? In this episode, we break down what food labels don't tell you, and why PCOS women are especially vulnerable to certain “health” foods and marketing claims. We cover: - How foods are engineered for the bliss point and why PCOS appetite signaling makes this harder - The truth about “natural flavors” and how labels can sound clean without being supportive - Why “sugar-free” doesn't always mean blood-sugar-friendly for insulin-resistant bodies - How low-fat foods can worsen hunger and blood sugar swings (plus a real coaching call example with a simple fix) This isn't about restriction or cutting out everything you enjoy. It's about understanding why your body responds the way it does, so you can stop blaming yourself and start making choices that actually support PCOS hormones and metabolism.

Megan chats with Maria Lucey about how she built a profitable food brand through YouTube alone and why long form video is one of the smartest growth moves food bloggers can make right now. Maria Lucey is a Registered Dietitian and content creator who launched her YouTube channel at the end of 2023 and grew it to over 44,000 subscribers in just over two years. Her channel focuses on long-form nutrition education and practical recipes that help people meet their health goals. Although she didn't have a blog when she started YouTube, Maria quickly recognized how the two platforms could complement each other and began building her blog soon after. Today, YouTube is her second-largest traffic source after Google and has helped her grow an email list of more than 6,000 subscribers, primarily through YouTube opt-ins, despite her blog still being relatively small. She monetizes through brand partnerships, YouTube and Mediavine ad revenue, and digital products. Maria is passionate about showing that anyone can start from zero - she began with no SEO or camera experience and built her platform through consistency and learning along the way. She also emphasizes how well blogging skills transfer to YouTube, and recently was flown to Los Angeles to collaborate with some of the platform's most established creators. What if you stopped chasing every platform and committed fully to one that actually builds trust, authority, and income? In this episode, Maria Lucey shares exactly how she grew a YouTube channel to nearly 50,000 subscribers in just over two years, monetized early, built a massive email list, and replaced her full time clinical job without relying on SEO or social media trends. This conversation breaks down what really works on YouTube for food creators and why consistency beats perfection every time. Key Topics Discussed: Future Consistency beats talent every time: Posting one video per week built momentum, skill, and confidence long before results showed up. YouTube rewards commitment not volume: Growth came from showing up weekly, not from posting more often or gaming the algorithm. Your first videos will be bad and that is the point: Improvement only happens through repetition and publishing before you feel ready. Monetization can happen faster than you think: Maria reached YouTube monetization within six months by focusing on watch time and value. Email lists convert extremely well from YouTube: Simple lead magnets tied directly to video topics drove consistent list growth. Packaging matters as much as content: Titles and thumbnails determine whether your video gets clicked at all. Curiosity outperforms keywords early on: Intrigue driven titles helped videos get discovered before shifting to SEO later. Connect with Maria Lucey Website | Instagram | YouTube

When you look in the mirror, what's the first story you tell yourself about your body? If you're like most midlife women, that internal dialogue is often rooted in criticism, comparison, and the relentless pressure to "fix" an aging body that was never broken in the first place.In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa sits down with registered dietitian and body image coach Deb Benfield to explore how internalized ageism and diet culture keep us disconnected from our bodies—and what it takes to reclaim body trust, pleasure, and freedom in midlife and beyond.Deb Benfield, M.Ed., RDN, LDN, RYT, is a Registered Dietitian, nutrition therapist, and body image coach with 40 years of experience helping people heal their relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. Her work sits at the intersection of anti-ageism, body liberation, and trauma-informed care—offering a radically compassionate alternative to diet and wellness culture, especially for those in midlife and beyond. After turning 60, Deb began questioning the dominant narratives around aging, vitality, and beauty, and quickly realized how many resources still centered weight loss and youthful appearance as ultimate goals. In response, she created what she couldn't find: a framework for nourishing the body that honors inner wisdom, prioritizes vitality, and embraces the full spectrum of aging. She's the author of Unapologetic Aging: How to Mend and Nourish Your Relationship with Your Body, and she offers individual and group coaching to help her clients age unapologetically—on their own terms.Highlights from our discussion include:Understanding Your Body StoryYour Body Is Your Life Partner, Not Your Life's ProjectInternalized Ageism Keeps You StuckDiet Culture Fuels Hypervigilance, Not HealthRebuilding Body Trust Through EmbodimentRedefining Intimacy and Pleasure in MidlifeGLP-1 Medications: A Complex DecisionPermission to Stop ApologizingWhat if you stopped treating your body like a problem to solve and started honoring it as the life partner it's always been?This episode is an invitation home—to your body, your pleasure, and your power.

#293: In this episode, we're talking about the micro habits that actually matter for PCOS in 2026… not more rules, not more restriction, and definitely not more overwhelm. If you're already eating gluten-free and dairy-free, walking, lifting, doing Pilates, and still seeing weight fluctuations, fatigue, anxiety, or burnout… this episode is for you. The missing piece for many women with PCOS isn't another habit; it's nervous system and cortisol regulation. I break down small, realistic micro habits that quietly have a massive impact on hormones, cravings, stress, and consistency. These habits aren't flashy. They won't go viral. But they're the exact foundation women with PCOS need in 2026 to lose weight sustainably, feel calmer, and stop fighting their bodies.
