Today we are getting real by talking about your menstrual health. Did you know that missing a period or having irregular periods may be a very critical sign that there is a struggle within your relationship with food? I wanted to bring on someone who specializes in this topic to share how your menstrual cycle can be used as a fit vital sign, and trust me when I say that there is no one better to invite on the pod to have this conversation with than the period nutritionist, Cynthia Donovan.

I am so excited for you all to listen in to this episode where we are going to be talking about everything from the dangers of a missing or irregular period, how your menstrual cycle can impact your appetite and your mood, to how having a regular period can help with your fertility. Such an important topic to consider in our intuitive eating journey. With that said, let’s dive right in!

Cynthia is a Registered Dietitian in the US with a Master's of Science in Nutrition. Cynthia has been a Registered Dietitian for over 10 years. Cynthia is a non-diet dietitian and believes in Health at Every Size. Helping women recover from Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (no period) & find food freedom is a specialty area of hers. Cynthia was driven to specialize in HA due to her own struggles with a missing period & infertility. Cynthia has worked in various areas in the field of nutrition which has led her to where she is today, operating her own virtual practice & working with the most amazing women across the world, helping them recover their period and find balance with food and exercise.

Behind The Binge - #2 Letting go of the expectation to lose weight
play

03/15/21 • 21 min

Season 1 Episode 2. Helloooo binge freedom family! In today's solo episode I dive into body image and how there is a grief that comes with letting go of any of our old diet culture beliefs. Weight loss/weight gain is SUCH a huge barrier my clients face when finding food freedom, but so necessary. I wanted to talk about how letting go of expectations can be hard, but how empowering and freeing it is to finally do so. I also start the episode with addressing some of my own gremlins around talking about body image as a white, thin, cis-gendered woman. It's something I struggle with a LOT but know it is so important to bring to that table.

Many experts and researchers have found that children, teenagers, and adolescents diagnosed with eating disorders are heavily influenced by their parents, friends, and even school discussions.

We look up to our parents for advice, and they influence many of their words and actions subconsciously.

Today, I’m honored to be joined by Binge Eating Recovery Coach Stefanie Michele (@IAmStefanieMichele). We discuss important topics like how easily we can be influenced by our role models early in childhood. . We also examine how Stefanie, a mom with 3 daughters, recovered from binge eating and learned how to role model intuitive eating for her daughters. Stefanie offers advice to those struggling moms who don’t want to pass on diet culture to their children.

Stefanie is a Binge Eating Recovery Coach specializing in helping women overcome food and body image issues. She holds degrees in Human Development Psychology and Occupational Therapy with a certification in Integrative Health Coaching and an Intuitive Eating Counselor certification. After struggling with multiple eating disorders for 25 years, Stefanie experienced her recovery with the help of a body image coach. She considers her "boots-on-the-ground" experience of recovery her most teachable asset. Stefanie lives in NJ with her husband and 3 daughters.

Listen in to learn more:

  • How Stefanie had struggled with her relationship with food as a child in the 80s. [6:44]
  • Practical steps Stefanie took when she realized at 40 that it had been decades of struggling with binge eating with no relief. [20:25]
  • The implications of how Stefanie’s recovery journey impacted her life as a mother and wife. [45:48]

#41 It's not about the food! The psychology of binge eating [with Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin, Psy.D]

Joining me on the pod today is the amazing Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin. She is a psychoanalyst, author, and radio host specializing in eating disorders, with an emphasis on binge eating disorders.

Dr. Nina encourages us to be detectives by not looking at our binge eating as the problem but instead as the solution to a problem we might not yet be able to see or identify. How we should look for ways to identify what is eating at us that caused us to binge instead of the behavior itself.

Internationally recognized for her unique perspective in the field of eating psychology, she is the author of The Binge Cure: 7 Steps to Outsmart Emotional Eating and Food for Thought: Perspectives on Eating Disorders , and co-editor of Beyond the Primal Addiction . She’s the author of more than fifty articles about emotional eating, and her YouTube series Break Free from Bingeing helps viewers using an anti-diet approach. She also hosts The Dr. Nina Show radio program on LA Talk Radio.

Listen in to learn more:

  • Learn more about the psychological and emotional context that can play a role in the development of binge behaviors. {11:07]
  • Dr. Nina offers reasons why just approaching the food can become a barrier to long-term remission from binge eating. {15:40]
  • The role trauma plays in perpetuating binge eating cycles. [20:53]
  • How we should respond to ourselves: validate, acknowledge and reassure = comfort in words. {35:58]
  • One last practical tip from Dr. Nina: If you wouldn't say something to a friend, a child, or someone you love, don’t say it to yourself. [45:31]

Today I want to talk about meal prep as it relates to one of the first things I implement with my clients when it comes to healing our relationships with food which is consistent eating patterns. I know this can put up a lot of guards and concerns as any sort of meal structure can feel a remnant of diet culture. Let me reassure all of you that meal prep as an intuitive eater is not at all the same as any previous experiences you may have had in diet culture with portions and parameters in meal planning.

With all of that in mind, I decided who better to have on the pod with me to talk about meal prep than the Meal Prep Queen herself, Talia Koren. She is the founder of Workweek Lunch, a blog and digital meal plan subscription that helps thousands of people all over the world master meal prep...myself included! Listen in as I talk with Talia about how meal prep can help support you on your journey to food freedom.

Talia is the author of the Workweek Lunch Cookbook, which includes 60 approachable and delicious recipes that are designed to be prepped and stored. She is a self-taught home cook, and she started WWL in 2016 to teach her peers how to cook easy, balanced meals to save time and money through her Instagram, which has now grown to over 495k followers. Before WWL, Talia was a staff writer at Elite Daily and worked in the entertainment industry after graduating from Ithaca College in 2014. When she's not developing new recipes for the WWL Meal Prep Program, Talia loves to travel, snowboard, binge-watch TV and go on adventures with her dog Coconut.

Listen in to learn more:

  • A meal prep misconception that Talia wants to debunk. {7:48]
  • What an intuitive eating approach to meal prepping looks like. {9:02]
  • How to address this fear many have with meal prepping. [14:45]
  • Prioritizing intuitive eating, gentle nutrition, and meal prepping without it falling into diet culture’s often black and white thinking. {21:31]
  • Talia’s beginner tip for someone just getting started in meal prepping. [27:05]
