Satiated Podcast

Happy Satiated Saturday!

Something I've been noticing is how much we're taught to see any symptom as a sign that something is "wrong" and that we have to embark on a "healing journey" to "fix" the symptom.

For a moment, try this out on your body. Tell it that there is something wrong that you need to fix. What do you notice? How does your body respond to that?

Striving to “heal” your body sends the message to your body that you are in danger. Your body activates your sympathetic nervous system and takes all your internal resources away from repair toward survival. You cannot heal in a fight or flight state. To decrease any bodily symptom or food coping mechanism, you have to stop thinking of yourself as broken and needing to be fixed.

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Andrea Nakayama, Functional Medicine Nutritionist, educator, and founder of Functional Nutrition Alliance about:

• The gaps in traditional healthcare
• Shifting perspective of a "healing journey"
• Misconceptions of nutrition
• The basics of a health foundation
• Understanding the body's signals
• The three tiers of nutritional mastery
• Role of Narrative Medicine in recovery
• Supporting the body's natural healing

Happy Satiated Saturday!

I've gone out to eat sushi many times. Several years ago, when I had to go to a sushi restaurant for a work meeting, I thought, "Sure, no problem."

On this particular afternoon, the restaurant was loud and bustling. I could barely hear anyone down the table, and I was there with people who didn't necessarily put my body at ease.

By the end of the meal, I was doubled over in digestive pain. At the time, I didn't want anyone to know how much pain I was in. So, I used the excuse that my then-boyfriend (and now-husband) had texted me and I needed to go home.

I went home and immediately got into an epsom salt bath and as an experience of safety returned to my body, the digestive pain dissipated and went away. This was one of those powerful experiences where I deeply felt, this was not about the food. This was about the context in which I was eating the food in.

The context surrounding your meals—the environment, emotions, beliefs, nervous system states, and inner narratives—shapes not only what you eat but also how much you eat. Your interactions with food are a reflection of both the world around you and the world within you. Your internal and external landscapes come together shaping the food choices you make.

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Josh Hillis, coach, author, and creator of Eating Skills about:

• Importance of understanding personal values
• Role of self-determination theory
• Necessity of context in making food choices
• Significance of practicing self-awareness
• Learning to recognize hunger cues
• Impact of emotional states on eating behaviors

Happy Satiated Saturday!

I've been reading more research than I have in years because of my PhD and it is connecting so many dots.

Research confirming how much changes in your body due to trauma. Research showing the connection between brain alterations after a traumatic event that fuels your food behaviors. Research revealing not only is what and when you eat a reaction to what is happening inside your body, but also that what you eat can increase or decrease your food coping mechanisms.

I'll be sharing more in future podcast episodes and today I'm excited to have a returning guest to the podcast.

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Michelle Brown, Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner and Clinical Herbalist, about:

• the biology of trauma
• what happens to the nervous system after a traumatic experience
• nutrient deficiencies that occur when living in a trauma response
• herbal resources for nervous system regulation
• creating nervous system regulation routines
• and so much more!

Happy Satiated Saturday!

We are at the last episode of this month-long body image healing focus.

And, I would be remiss if I didn't address our younger generations. Parents face a huge challenge now in navigating body image concerns with their kids as they face societal pressures from every angle to look a certain way. I work with so many parents who feel overwhelmed as to where to start or what to say when it comes to talking about body image with their kids. So this week's episode is for you.

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I talk with Diana Rice, Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and Certified Positive Discipline Parenting Coach, about navigating body image with kids, building resilience and confidence with your children, the importance of parents creating a healthy relationship with their own food and body, fostering a sense of belonging in kids, and challenging societal messages.

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/navigating-body-image-issues-with-kids

If you're not a parent, Diana provides some powerful examples of what we could all be doing to provide a safer body image world for everyone. You might also reflect on how you would meet your inner child in some of the approaches we discuss today to reparent yourself on the ways you perhaps wished you were met, seen, and held around your body image concerns growing up.

Happy Satiated Saturday!

If you experience bloating, gas, pain, burping, constipation or diarrhea, acne or rosacea, and a runny nose after every meal, this can potentially be your body's way of letting you know there may be a gut issue occurring.

Trying to optimally nourish ourselves without healing gut issues can leave us feeling frustrated that no matter our best efforts, something always feels a little off.

No matter how much whole natural food I ate, for years I was still experiencing bloating and digestive pain.

I really want to stress here that if you have been feeling perplexed as to why your symptoms are continuing it is not your fault. There is something potentially happening inside your body that needs extra support.

In this episode, I dive into just how important an optimal functioning gut is and tips to start your gut healing journey.

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here.

If you have been experiencing a lot of gut issues for years, I understand how frustrating it can feel. You’re not alone on this journey. I’m here for you to navigate and learn and interpret the gut’s messages and wisdom it is trying to tell you.
