11 Jan 2019172-Type A: Successful Everywhere Except with Food & Body - Susan Shares Her Story00:50:55

Type A Women

Are you a type A- achieving women, successful in many aspects of their life: career, family, finances but they don’t feel as successful in one area of their life: food & body?

If that’s you, this episode is a MUST-listen. Susan is just like you and she shares her journey. Her journey to find peace with food and body using the Going Beyond The Food Method.

The Going Beyond The Food Method is designed to help women 40+ that are successful in their career, family and finance but feel unsuccessful with their body and weight remove the emotional blocks that keep them stuck: tunnel approach to their weight via diets and exercise, negative thoughts patterns towards their body, and low self-esteem finally stop sabotaging with food and engage with their body from a place of compassion so that they can be at peace and live fulfilling life right now!

What I’ve found over the years is that most women that are successful in most aspects of their lives except their body feel like they’ll never be able to lose weight.  They’ve tried everything: all the diets, over exercising, personal trainers and nothing works. Frustrated, so they end up self-sabotaging with food in secret as a way to manage their feeling of guilt.

What they really want is to feel confident and healthy in their body, to be free from food obsession and live life on purpose and satisfied but most of them are stuck and feel ashamed.

So the mistake they make is that they attempt to control what they eat in hopes to finally lose the weight. They end up dieting and restricting even more which feels like self-punishment and self-loathing (brute force) themselves as a way to motivate themselves.

When in reality, what they only need to do is to remove the emotional blocks of self-loathing and worthiness that keep them feeling stuck: feeling worthiness and self-loathing and engage with body from a place of compassion instead judgment and finally stop sabotaging with food.

In this episode I discuss

  • Susan’s journey - from using food as a weapon to beat herself up to Going Beyond the Food and making peace with food and her body
  • How hard-working A-type women who are used to being in control can also achieve success with food and their body
  • The role that our beliefs play towards achieving Food Freedom and success in all aspect of our lives

 

Last episode was an interview with Molly Bahr, a Health At Every Size expert. She talked about the act of dieting as the greatest predictor of weight gain. 

Most of us know diets have failed us and continue to fail us. The older we get, the worse it gets… it’s not just failing us physically on the scale but also emotionally and mentally. In fact, the side effect of food and exercise obsession is leaving us feeling overwhelmed, stressed and terribly anxious.

We want to be confident and healthy but we know diets don’t work… but we feel we have no other choice. Right??

Is there another choice other than dieting? This interview episode will rock your world. Click here!

15 Oct 2020257-Eating Normally00:27:50

Have you ever thought, "I wish I could just eat normally!"

Hell yes, right, lol!

I've had this thought for years not sure when I first started to think it, but it's been years for sure, probably decades.

I thought that by quitting dieting, I would be able to eat normally. Well, that didn't work, lol! After a few attempts, I had to acknowledge that I didn't even know what eating normally was.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • What is normal eating
  • How to develop normal eating behavior
  • The difference in the process of normal eating for women who have been dieting for long period.

21 Oct 2021297-Marie Kondoing Your Thoughts00:22:16

I want you to think of the process of undieting your brain of all the diet culture thoughts and beliefs, like Marie Kondioing your mind. 

Undiet Your Life is the act of decluttering your mind from all the thoughts that are no longer serving you, that no longer spark joy, happiness, and ease for you. 

You’ve picked thoughts all along your life, and up until now, you have kept them. Now, you have a mind filled with thoughts that create anxiety, perfectionism, black-and-white thinking, and fear. 

Thoughts are like the clutter Marie Kondo is coaching people to purge… You can purge your old thoughts too.   

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE

  • Why Marie Kondo is such a brilliant analogy for undieting your brain 
  • Learning to respect your old thoughts 
  • How to declutter your mind 
  • Developing a critical lens for intentional thinking

26 May 2020PRO Series: Feminism & Diet Culture - S1 EP600:28:40

Women don’t diet because they enjoy dieting.

Women who diet do it because they think they have to.

From a very young age, women have been socialized that they are their physical bodies. Women have internalized that their worth is associated with their body and its ability to achieve the expectation from diet culture.

Not sure... let’s look at research released by Dove, for their ‘Self-Esteem Project’, It found that 96% of women in the UK reported feeling anxious about the way they look, compared with 86% in China, 72% in Brazil and 61% in the US. Only 4% of the women in all the countries surveyed would consider themselves ‘beautiful’, and by the time girls reach 17, 78% will be ‘unhappy with their bodies’.

Helping women leave and recover from diet culture is a feminist issue.

In today’s episode, we will discover why as health professionals, we need to adopt a specific non-diet approach for women.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

Why a non-diet approach specific to women?
Feminism & diet culture
The intersection between diet culture & women history
Women socialization to diet culture
Women internalization of diet culture
Dieting is a feminist issue
Women empowerment
Non-diet Approach for women Professional Training
Non-diet Approach for women mentorship

02 May 2019186-Be the Boss Of You-Intuitive Eating with Evelyn Tribole00:53:55

On today's episode, we discover intuitive eating

You are the boss of you, sister.... no one else. So hire, fire and promote accordingly.

I’m sure you wouldn’t tolerate anyone telling you what to do in your own house. You wouldn’t let anyone dictate who your date is, right?

Yet we let diets control our food choices and the way we feel about ourselves. That’s what we call diet culture.

Sisters, it’s time we stop letting diets control our lives. We must take our power back from the latest diet... including the latest keto expert!

It’s proven diets not only don’t work they lead to more weight gain. Diet is harmful to the female body.

Today, we discover intuitive eating, a proven self-care eating framework that puts YOU back in the driver seat of food choices, body, and health. This way of engaging with food (read here: not a diet) teaches you to be a team with your body.

Our guest today Evelyn Tribole, MS, RDN, CEDRD-S is the author of 9 books, with a nutrition counseling practice in Newport Beach, California. She is a co-creator of Intuitive Eating, a mind-body health process developed in 1995. Evelyn will take us through Intuitive Eating 101.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • What is intuitive eating and what it’s not.
  • The 10 Intuitive eating principles, why they exist, and how to apply them in real life
  • The Diet paradox and why diets don’t work
  • How intuitive eating and Health At Every Size work together
  • How to awaken the intuitive eater in you!

14 Jan 2021270-Tuning Out the Weight Loss Industry00:28:04

This podcast is going to be for every woman - every woman who has been targeted by dieting ads.

I have chosen this title for a reason: "Tuning out the weight loss industry" instead of "tuning out diet culture" for a reason: to reach more women.

When you are at the beginning of your journey shifting out of dieting, the word diet culture doesn't mean a thing… actually, for many, it means being on a diet.

Diet culture is a new term that is not part of women's vocabulary, and for a good reason. As women, when we learn about the word "diet culture", it has a massive impact. In #5, I share the definition of diet culture for all the newbies.

Tuning out the dieting noise is a choice

This podcast intends to help all women make a choice. 

A choice in the face of all the marketing from the weight loss, fitness, and wellness industry aimed at women and our bodies. 

To help women make an educated choice about their body, how they live their life, the way they eat, and the way they take care of their mind, body, and soul. 

For women to free themselves from the thought "but I have to "and trade it for "I chose to".

What you'll learn listening to this episode tuning out the weight loss industry:

  • 10 thoughts to consider as women when considering dieting.
  • 10 tips for you to process the weight loss, fitness, and wellness marketing

21 Apr 2020PRO Series: First Do No Harm – S1 EP100:29:20

Welcome to Season 1 of the Beyond The Food PRO podcast series.  

This 8-part podcast series is created to educate female health professionals on a non-diet approach to food, weight, and health. 

In today’s episode, we discuss how we may be causing harm to our clients and patients by delivering nutrition services. By following a traditional model of nutrition and health care for women we may be aggravating an underlying condition and symptoms.  

In this episode, I share my patient Caroline (fictitious name) story along with how she changed my practice forever.  

Caroline had a disordered relationship with food due to years of chronic dieting. All of my assessment tools and training never accounted for this condition simply because of the traditional medical system chronic dieting is “normal” ... yet it has devastating health consequences. 

Here’s what we cover in this intuitive eating mentorship episode: 

  • My client Caroline’s story 
  • As a nutrition expert, are we causing harm to our clients? 
  • What is a non-diet approach to food & weight 
  • How to shift to a non-diet approach in a professional practice 
  • Continuing to earn a living while not selling weight loss 
  • How to get started with a non-diet approach to health

06 Jun 2019191-Unfuck Your Brain to Be Confident NOW with Kara Loewentheil00:35:12

On today's episode, we talk about how to Unfuck Your Brain

I wanted to lose weight so that I could be more self-confident.

95% of the women I work with want to or did want to lose weight so that they can be more confident.

We are taught by society that if we are thin, we will automatically be confident and ultimately happy.

Yet we lose the weight and we aren’t happier. We still don’t feel confident as we should. Then we regain the weight because, spoiler alert, diet doesn’t work long term. That’s until we repeat the cycle again looking for that “confidence”.

How many times do we have to repeat the cycle to see that confidence isn’t an external thing?? I did it for 25 years. You?

Our guest today, Kara Loewentheil, a Master Confidence Certified Coach with a B.A. from Yale and J.D. from Harvard Law is going to teach us how to become more self-confident today independent of our weight.  The work is all in our mind!

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • How patriarchy and socialization thoughts impact our self-confidence
  • How to begin your journey into thought work
  • How to take massive actions and massive thinking in achieving your goals
  • How you can get yourself free access to the self-confidence challenge

31 Oct 2019212-“… but I need to lose weight!” A Conversation with Aaron Flores RD - The Weight Loss Series Part 100:59:18

Me: “... but I need to lose weight”.

Her: “Ok... I can see how you can think that.”

Me: “Everything you are sharing with me makes so much sense and I can feel it inside of me, that it’s what I need [pause & sigh] … but I need to lose weight”.

The tears started to roll off my cheeks. Uncontrollably crying. The tears were coming from the depth of my gut. It was one of those moments when you want to stop crying because you really don’t want to cry in front of strangers but you can’t... it’s not in your control.

Her: “Stephanie, your desires to lose weight are valid. It’s normal that you want to lose weight. These desires are encouraged every day by the society in which we live in, an environment that is laden with weight stigma, body size discrimination, and fatphobia. It makes perfect sense that you want to lose weight.”

I was deeply confused. 

Life is on hold until I lose weight

I was 38 years old and the last 25 years of my personal life had been a series pressing “pause” and “play”. I only allowed myself to “play” my personal life when I was at a weight that was recognized by others to be ok. If I was gaining weight or not working hard to lose the “not normal excess weight,” my personal life was on “pause”.

Her: “So, let’s work through this, Stephanie. Why do you want to lose weight? What do you feel will happen when you lose weight?”

Me: “ Uhhh.....” 

No one ever asked me this question. I never asked myself this question either. My brain was stumped... blank. 

Her: “It’s normal that you don’t know how to answer this question. You likely never thought of the desire to lose weight as optional therefore never considered why you were desiring it.” 

She was right by that point it had been 27 years. Since my teens, I had lived on and off diets always chasing “another body”. The truth was my happiness was conditional to the way my body looked. Even when my body looked “ok” it was such a battle to keep it up that I didn’t have the mental space or time to fully enjoy my now “allowed happy life”.

Me: “I guess you’re right...” 

Her: “Until we see each other again I want you to ask yourself these questions: Where is the desire to lose weight coming from? What do you feel will happen if you lose weight? Will you be treated differently? Will you feel beautiful? Worthy? Healthy?  

As a good perfectionist, I did my homework. I had so many Ah Ah moments... many realizations. It took me a while to fully accept what these questions forced me to see: As a strong, independent & feminist woman, I had given away my power.

The journey back to my power

The social conditionings of the patriarchy of our modern society had kept me very busy dieting and chasing after the false currency of beauty instead of chasing my dreams. Being consumed by the fear of how my body looks was keeping me away from my power.

I found my power. My true power. The power to live my life now. I gave myself the permission to be enough unconditionally to what my body looks like or weight. I no longer needed to be perfect in “all the things” or to make choices to please others in fear of rejection

04 Feb 2021273-Dieting Backlash, Rebound Eating & Emotional Eating00:24:44

Dieting backlash is the counter-reaction to food restriction, aka dieting.

Things like "food cravings," urges to eat the restricted foods, nighttime eating, "overeating," binging, weight regain, depression, anxiety… that's all dieting backlash, also known as rebound eating.

Here's where it gets interesting... women who deliberately restrict their food intake when under a diet are more likely to overeat, especially in response to an emotional state. What we think as emotional eating may actually be diet backlash or rebound eating.

In a subconscious way, we give ourselves license to eat foods that are normally forbidden, and we use emotion as a way to give ourselves permission in the hope to lower the guilt of "not following the diet," we lay the blame on emotional eating.

It's the self-fulfilling prophecy of dieting. Nothing has gone wrong. Nothing is wrong with you… it's biology.

Here's what I propose...

To reflect on these 4 questions:

  • How much of what we self-describe as a "problematic relationship to food" is, in fact, due to our own self-imposed diet or food restriction
  • How much of the food behaviors we hope to fix with our newest "food lifestyle" are made worse by the actual "food lifestyle"?
  • What if there was nothing wrong with our food behaviors, that our body was reacting exactly how it was created to react in the face of food restriction… then what?
  • What if the problem wasn't us, the dieter but the diet… then what?

I'm proposing these questions to you because I'm not here to tell you what you should do… but instead to give you a choice.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode on dieting backlash:

  • What is dieting backlash
  • How dieting backlash presents itself in women’s life
  • Why rebound eating is normal
  • How we create the situation to produce emotional eating

06 Jan 2019171-The Death of Dieting and the Rise of Health At Every Size with Molly Bahr01:03:41

Health At Every Size

The act of dieting is the greater predictor of weight gain.

Most of us know diets have failed us and continue to fail us. The older we get, the worse it gets... it’s not just failing us physically on the scale but also emotionally and mentally. In fact, the side effect of food and exercise obsession is leaving us feeling overwhelmed, stressed and terribly anxious.

We want to be confident and healthy but we know diets don’t work... but we feel we have no other choice. Right??

Is there another choice other than dieting?

Yes, there is... Chasing health instead of weight loss. Adopting compassionate and healing behaviors towards our whole self.

The truth is weight management isn’t a guarantee of health. What?!?!

Yup... and now enter Health At Every Size. A movement and scientific approach to health that isn’t focused on weight but instead what really drives health in humans.

In this interview, Molly Bahr takes us through the Health At Every size basic principles.

In this episode I discuss

  • What is HAES: Health At Every Size 101
  • The collateral damage of dieting
  • 'What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, and Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight'

Last episode I shared my interview with one of the graduates of the Fall 2018 Going Beyond the Food Academy. It was a vulnerable one as she shared her personal journey going beyond the food and transforming her relationship to food and her body. 

Indeed, her inspirational story proved that the journey to body confidence and peace with food and body image is possible and quickly achievable if you...

If you get committed and invest in yourself!

For Erin, the transformation led her to have peace of mind and body confidence... and yes, peace with food. She is now on her way to healing other parts of her life seeking the next best version of herself. Learn more about her story through this interview episode. Click here!

'Tis the season to smash down diet culture... and if we want that, we need to understand the roots of the holiday season so that we can smash down the roots of oppression.

"Indulgence” is rooted in diet culture – it makes you feel bad for enjoying holiday foods and it sets you up for eating out of control. It is a stepping stone on the path to binging because this mentality towards food is tied up in your self-worth and body image.

What you'll learn listening to this episode on 'tis the season (to smash down diet culture):

  • The origin of the holiday season & how it became commercialized
  • How holiday norms perpetuate patriarchal ideals
  • Why holiday “indulgence” is harmful to your self-worth

06 Dec 2018166-Strategies to Maintain Motivation and Consistency00:29:11

Maintaining Motivation

“I get off track very easily and difficult to get back on track. Finding a way to be motivated every day is hard. What should I do?

That’s one of the top 3 questions I get on open forums. Along with how to be consistent and how can I lose weight (I never answer this one anymore!).

The truth is maintaining motivation is a struggle for many as it was for me and is still when it comes to exercise.

Here’s the secret... Motivation is not something you have or don’t have. It’s something you cultivate via your intention.

Research and science are clear: Willpower doesn’t work. So, what then? Your big why, your intention, your higher purpose is what works to sustain motivation day in and day out.

Your 'why' is what we call an internal motivator and the key to maintain motivation is to be clear on your 'why'.

To set the intention based on internal motivators that will activate the right part of your brain and create the magic of motivation without having to resort to willpower and self-punishment as a force to make you do things.

And that, ladies, is in every part of your life... personal / career/ family... and yes your health. Motivation works the same way for everything. Everything!

Let’s dive into the 5 strategies to maintaining motivation... this podcast will rock your world!

In this episode I discuss

  • Internal motivator versus external motivators
  • 4 strategies for maintaining motivations 
  • Changing relationship to food and body: what you need to do

Last episode, I talked about the must-have to make peace with food... Body Acceptance. More than a must-have, it’s essential.

We think that we can delay accepting our body until we get our relationship to food OK. Most of us are ready to do the work with our emotions but when it comes to doing the work with our body image... we resist. And we resist hard!

The truth is.... you can’t make peace with food without making peace with your body right now as is!

Yet we think that we can avoid accepting our body. The pain and suffering associated with non-body acceptance is the cause of many emotional eating roller coaster, binges and diet cycle... Click here to learn the 3 things you can do now to start accepting... yep, no-cost involved.

05 Jan 2023342-4 Money Shifts I Made Since Opting Out of Diet Culture00:29:23

Today we are talking about money and I am sharing with you the 4 money shifts I made since opting out of diet culture that created more money and most important less work and more ease.

Much of our corporate world has been conditioned by the patriarchy where it’s the men’s role to make money and women are to make men more money. Women are the caretakers, and the nurturers and thinking of themselves is selfish. 

Scarcity money mindset is just another gift from diet culture. There are many parallels between diet culture and money mindset. To enjoy wealth would be indulgent. To enjoy food is indulgent. Many of us engage with money with fear just like we do with food and our bodies. 

The good news is that money mindset work is almost the same as body image work so it’s going to a lot faster because you have already “been there, done that.”

What you’ll learn listening to this episode on the 4 Money shifts I made since opting out of diet culture:

  • The thoughts about money people that keep them stuck from making more
  • The parallels between diet culture and scarcity money mindset 
  • The 4 money shifts I made since opting out of diet culture 
  • An invitation to revolutionize the way you think about food, body and money

We think that we can delay accepting our body until we get our relationship to food OK.

Most of us are ready to do the work with our emotions but when it comes to doing the work with our body image... we resist. And we resist hard!

The truth is Body Acceptance is the must-have to make peace with food. More than a must-have, it’s essential.

Can’t make peace with food without making peace with your body right now as is!

It’s like trying to heal a splinter without removing the foreign object. Crazy right? You never think of not removing what causing the infection, the pus, the pain, the inflammation...

Yet we think that we can avoid accepting our body. The pain and suffering associated with non-body acceptance is the cause of many emotional eating roller coaster, binges and diet cycle.

In this episode I discuss

  • Body Acceptance: the definition
  • What happens when we don't accept our body as is
  • The 3 things you can do now to start accepting... yep, no-cost involved

12 Mar 2020231- Your Child’s Body Image with Katie Crenshaw00:43:23

231- Your-childs-body-image

In today's episode, we'll learn about your child's body image.

“How can I positively influence my child's body image?” That’s a reoccurring thought in many mom’s minds.

Many moms will say openly: “The last thing I want to teach my daughter is to pass on my issues with food and body”.

If this is you, you’ve got to listen to this episode of the Going Beyond The Food Show. I recently discovered an amazing book that will help you as a mom to open the communication about body image with your child “Her Body Can”, @herbodybooks.

As many know, I strongly believe in lived experience and I’m not a mother so... I asked a mom to come on the show and chat about this. She’s also the author of this powerful children's body image book.

Our guest for this very important topic is Katie Crenshaw. Katie is a mom of 3 children between the age of 3-11 years old.

Katie is a lifestyle blogger and the author of Her Body Can. "Her Body Can" is a #1 Best-selling Children's Book of poetic self-love and body positivity declarations for all young girls.

Her book aims to encourage our girls to create a reality for themselves in which they love themselves and their bodies for exactly who and what they are, instead of learning to judge themselves and hate their bodies for what they are not.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • Katie’s experience as a mom of 3 with body image conversation
  • How a former chronic dieter, now a mom of 3, engage with food with her family
  • The role of mom in the evolution of kids’ body image
  • A very important message for all moms

25 Feb 2021276-Coping with Weight Gain00:26:55

Weight gain is a very sensitive, vulnerable and emotional topic for most women. The ability and willingness to openly talk about weight gain is different for each one of us.

It’s estimated that by the time most women hit their 45th birthday, statistically speaking, we’ve tried 61 diets, plans, programs, detoxes, cleanses, meal plans, regime, an eating system. In an unending battle to shrink our body and, hopefully, change our life.

I want to recognize that simply tuning in to listen to this episode for someone is a huge step… if this is you, I see you and welcome you.

For others who have taken the journey beyond the food and unlearn diet culture, this is a much easier and light topic… I see you too, my sister, and cheer you on.

Coping with weight gain

Weight gain is a difficult topic, a complicated topic and a very nuanced topic.

By no means this one episode is a complete resource for the normalization of weight in women. This episode is meant only to be an introduction to the topic of coping with weight gain. I’ll be speaking about one aspect that I think, as women, we must first understand and integrate in order to release the fear of weight gain.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • Why you are not alone: recent statistics review
  • How patriarchy position weight gain to keep women feeling insecure
  • Why diet culture is so powerful, particularly for women
  • How to release the fear of weight gain and claim back your power

The truth is, creating confidence is as easy as thinking confident thoughts.

You are going to feel a lot of resistance trying to think new thoughts about your body and weight. The key to moving through this resistance is reclaiming authority over your life. In today’s episode, I teach you how to do that.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • How to use your thoughts to create confidence in your body
  • Why you need to sell your brain on this new confident perspective

12 Sep 2019205-Cyclical Living & Surrendering Control to Connect with Your Inner Cues with Kate Northrup00:52:31

205-Cyclical Living-Stephanie Dodier

On today's episode, we'll talk about cyclical living

If our body is wise enough to know what to eat, when to eat and how to eat... what else can it do for us? 

What else can we learn from our womanly body?

According to a study from the Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, fluctuations of hormones over the monthly menstrual cycle play a crucial role in our emotional status, appetite, thought processes, and so much more. Women reported high levels of well-being and self-esteem during the middle of the cycle in the study. Increased feelings of anxiety, hostility, and depression were reported before their period.

Cyclical Living

Our egg wisdom is perhaps for us women another expression of our innate body wisdom. When I say egg wisdom, I’m referring to the wisdom of our female cycle. This wisdom that is our female cycle is wise enough to create life from… an egg and a sperm. What else can it do for us?

Over the last year, I became really acquainted with my female cycle and discovered a whole new world of intuition. The more I got familiar with how my body spoke to me through my cycle the more I realized that this is the extension of intuitive eating and also body neutrality.

cyclical living

Body Neutrality & Cycle Synching

Body neutrality teaches us to engage with our body as a whole and be grateful for all that it does for us... to care for our body. To build a relationship of trust and respect with our body and for all that it does for us.

As women, having a relationship with our cycle is part of body neutrality. Cycling is an exponential opportunity for us to connect with our body at a much deeper level. It’s no secret that at different stages of our cycle, we look, feel, and act differently. Observing our cycles and all that it creates in our bodies allows us to gather information and fully comprehend how symbiotic we are as women.

Intuitive Eating & Cyclical Living

Intuitive eating requires us to shift from external cues to internal cues when it comes to eating and health. To eat intuitively, we need to be able to connect with our innate body wisdom just like with cyclical living.

Intuitive eating teaches us that we have this innate ability to know how to nourish our bodies via our intuition... what else can we learn from our intuitive food decision?

In my opinion, there’s a deep connection between cyclical living and intuitive eating.

The stepping stone to eating intuitively is to develop interoception, this ability to feel and tap into our internal body cues. In the case of intuitive eating, these cues are hunger, fullness, and satisfaction. Practicing cyclical living will enhance your ability to be an intuitive eater.

On today’s episode, Kate Northrup, an entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, and mother is going to teach us how to tap into the wisdom of our cycle to do less and improve our self-worth.

Kate has built a digital empire and is committed to supporting ambitious women to light up the world without burning themselves out in the process. 

What you’ll learn listening to episode 205 of the Going Beyond The Food podcast:

  • How we’ve learned to seek self-worth externally 
  • The impact of patriarchal society on women's self-worth
  • Why seeking self-worth externally is a forever never-ending loop 
  • What is cyclical living and how you can implement it in your life
  • The deep connection between our cycle wisdom and body image
  • How to connect Intuitive Eating and cyclical living

09 Apr 2020235- Intuitive Eating for the Family: Successful Integration with Dr. Jillian and Sally00:54:20

235-Intuitive-Eaying-Family-Integration-image (1)

 

 

 

In today's episode, we'll explore intuitive eating for the family, successful integration with Dr. Jillian and Sally  

“The last thing I want to do is to pass my food issue to my kids”- This is a quote of many of my new clients and students.

The majority of women in my community share my story of being introduced to the world of dieting at an early age. And for years we believed that it’s the way to go to control our eating and improve our body image.

Until such time, we finally realized that diet doesn’t work. It’s just a band-aid solution to something that needs a permanent solution.

We don’t want to pass this kind of relationship to food to our children.

We don’t want them to live their whole lives restricting, which actually brings about more craving.

Instead, we want them to practice intuitive eating and learn to be competent eaters as they grow up.

But how do you raise your kids to become competent eaters and body confident?

How do you undo years of restrictive eating with your kids and family mindset?

In this episode of the podcast, we have two guests to help you with these questions:

Dr. Jillian Murphy, a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine focused on family and children eating patterns. She uses up-to-date eating psychology, clinical insight & guidance around diet culture, health, and weight to teach individuals WHY they stay stuck in negative patterns around food and constant body dissatisfaction.

Sally Glaspie, a mother of 3 who recently became an intuitive eater after years of dieting. She studied in our Intuitive Eating Project 5-week program where she learned how to become an intuitive eater.

What we talked about in today's episode of intuitive eating for the family, successful integration:

  1. The process to normalize food with children
  2. The division of responsibility between children and parents.
  3. The competent eater model versus intuitive eating model
  4. Words to use with toddler, kids, and teens
  5. Developing critical thinking in our children about food choices
  6. Gluten police: what happens when you stop restricting gluten
  7. How to address the sweet foods and sugar
  8. How to address nutrition education from school

Can’t wait to hear your feedback!

17 Jun 2021285-Sexual Violence & Intuitive Eating with Sarah Berneche01:02:15

About 4 years ago, I came across an analysis of 57,000 women and found that those who had experienced physical or sexual abuse as children were twice as likely to behave compensatory behaviour with food. These women said that they felt more physically imposing when they were bigger. They felt their size helped ward off sexual advances from men.

That's how food and trauma are often linked. It's not only in the context of sexual violence but also in various forms of trauma where food is often used as safety, comfort, avoidance of pain, numbing of suffering, buffering, etc.

And then body-shaming gets layered in this already very difficult emotional situation. In fact, I believe and experience that fatphobia, from an external source or internalized, is trauma itself.

Sexual violence And Intuitive Eating

This is when many people will begin the cycle of binge-restrict. Overeating food in an attempt to create safety, then feeling the shame of fatphobia, then use food once again but this time in a restrictive way with the hope to shrink their body. If this is you, I feel you, sister, because I was there for 25 years.

Here's where it gets interesting… we can actually find our way out of the trauma response cycle by using food. I know it may appear counterintuitive, but it works. The process of learning an intuitive eating framework helps women nurture safety with food and their body. It's a beautiful healing process to be watched unfold.

In today's new Going Beyond The Food Podcast, I have a powerful teaching conversation with Sarah Berneche, a trauma-informed nutritionist. She uses intuitive eating to help survivors of sexual violence stop diet-binge cycling and reclaim the joy of eating.

Sarah Berneche is a somatic-oriented, weight-inclusive Nutritionist®, a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor and author of Enjoy It All: Improve Your Health and Happiness with Intuitive Eating. Fusing Intuitive Eating with evidence-based therapy models, she helps survivors of sexual violence stop diet-binge cycling and reclaim the joy of eating.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode: 

  • The connection between sexual violence and disordered eating
  • Self-objectification and dieting
  • Food and body as symbolic communicators
  • How dieting reinforces rape culture
  • A trauma-informed approach to working with sexual trauma survivors

I believe that any woman should listen to this episode as it will help you help other women, if not today, in the future.

Knowledge is power sister.

18 Mar 2021279-Postpartum the Non-Diet Way with Jaren Soloff00:38:44

In my opinion, being pregnant, giving birth, and raising a child is the most magical power of women.

In fact, our bodies as women are capable of creating life. That is to say, we have the power to bring another human to life.

Can we let that sink in for a minute? We create life.

Our bodies have the capacity to expand in such a way that we can create and develop another human life.

Yet as soon as women are done giving birth to this new human, patriarchy and diet culture expect women to shrink back their body and leave absolutely no trace of this magical act.

Diet culture has perfected a narrative that leaves women to feel shame for their postpartum bodies instead of being grateful for the goddess they are.

Edna's story... it's difficult.

Non-Diet Postpartum

The non-diet approach to postpartum is the space were women's bodies are celebrated for the magic they created without patriarchy and diet culture oppressing message.

Our guest today is a non-diet postpartum expert. She's a dietician who herself gave birth. She decided to dedicate her career to helping other women approach their postpartum in a non-diet way.

Jaren Soloff is a Registered Dietitian and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who combines her expertise as a skilled nutrition therapist and lactation consultant to support mothers in nourishing themselves and their babies with confidence. 

FULL CRCL provides nutrition counseling and lactation consultations to help both mom and baby thrive in motherhood to support them in navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum from a simple and intuitive framework.

What you'll learn listening to this episode on non-diet postpartum:

  • How diet culture infiltrated postpartum 
  • The non-diet approach to postpartum nutrition 
  • Body image challenge post-birth
  • The weight-inclusive approach to lactation
  • How to find virtual coaching for the non-diet approach to post-birth

21 Sep 2018156-7 Lessons From Accepting My Body00:57:49

My journey towards accepting my body has been hard but one of the most rewarding difficult processes I have ever done. I have learned many lessons in this journey which I’ll be sharing with you in this episode. 7 life lessons I have learned and that have seeped through my whole life. 

But I want you to know something... right now! 

Body acceptance is possible for all of us. That is, accepting our body for what is. Taking the focus on what your body looks like and instead focusing on what it’s capable of.  

Rather than telling yourself you hate the fat on your belly, it’s appreciating the child it created. 

Body Neutrality is the proprietary method I teach within the Going Beyond The Food Academy. Lesson 7.  The most impactful life-changing module.   

Visit https://www.stephaniedodier.com/podcast-episodes/ for complete show notes of every podcast episode

Body neutrality will lead you to: 

  • Overcome black and white thinking 
  • Gain more self-love and compassion  
  • Being more mindful… in all aspects of life 
  • Decrease anxiety, stress, and feeling of hopelessness 
  • Be more motivated to make the right choice

What I’ve found is that body shaming is the most potent reason why we emotionally eat, binge eat, compulsively eat and obviously, diet.

Last episode, I talked about a fairly common experience among women who want to change yet can’t get started or perhaps have started the process of change and it’s not getting her where she wants to be. It's all about being stuck. 

In fact, I break down the stages of changes and why no one in this community is in stage one, which means everyone is engaged in the process of change. You're all in between stages 2-5... And maybe 6. 

Moreover, we’re also going to hear from someone who is in stage 4 which is where most of my students are. Ready to engage in stage 5-6!  Click here.

12 Aug 2021287-The Not Good Enough Voices with Vanessa Preston00:42:14

Today, we are sharing stories and unpacking one of the most common beliefs women share: the belief that we are not good enough.

And very often, controlling our bodies and beauty are the tools offered to us in order to access our self-worth and confidence, always selling us with the promise that we will feel good enough when we get to the “right body” size and beauty.

Although I consider myself a confident woman today, it hasn’t
always been this way.

Diet culture conditioning and the pursuit of the thin ideal kept me from accessing what was a fact: my innate worth. I was chasing externally what was already present internally.

Our guest expert today Vanessa Preston will help navigate our way back to confidence and feeling good enough.

Vanessa will help us navigate the path back to feeling good enough.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • The power in naming the feeling of not good enough
  • The intersection between diet culture and women feeling not good enough
  • Being curious is the first step in tuning the voice of not good enough
  • How to use compassion to feel good enough

24 Sep 2020255-Body Neutrality00:34:12

Being Body Neutral

Body neutrality is a way to engage with our bodies.

The goal of body neutrality is to dial down the enormous significance that’s being given to physical attractiveness in our society. In fact, the significance of women’s beauty is what causes us to do all kinds of crazy things to look “better”. We wear make-up and spend a stupid amount of money on anti-ageing cream. And we cut up our body with esthetic surgeries and yes, dieting. Moreover, we effectively starve ourselves in order to be beautiful.

In fact, this is important to understand… if we didn’t buy/engage in the importance of our beauty to our place into this world, we wouldn’t diet or think we need to change the size/ shape/ look of our bodies.

Body neutrality goes beyond body-positivity. That is to say it’s not just about pushing back onto the beauty ideals of our times. Body Positivity challenges the beauty standards by putting forward diverse body types, size…

Being Body Neutral, on the other hand, pushes back on all aspects of society that continue to promote beauty as essential, consequential and the ultimate accomplishment, and a person’s appearance as indicative of their worth.

BN says “How I feel about myself has nothing to do with my appearance.”

BP says: “I feel good about myself, because I know I’m beautiful at any size”.

Can you see the difference?

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • The 4 components of body image
  • The Body Image Scale
  • Why you shouldn’t aim to be body positive
  • The feminist approach to body image
  • Body neutrality in real life

07 Jan 2021269: How to Move (or Exercise) More00:28:56

“I want to move with joy”
“I want to get out of the funk of not movement”
“I know exercise is good for me… just can’t bring myself to do it”
“How do I motivate myself to move more without dreading it.”

That you are at the beginning stage of challenging the concept of dieting or an advanced intuitive eater that now wants to work on reclaiming their relationship to exercise. Or that you have made peace with food already and now want to tackle your relationship to movement.

This podcast going to help you.

How to move more

I know for me I’ve known that I SHOULD exercise more often for decades… and my solution for years has been to sign up for a gym membership and resorting to using discipline, punishment, and willpower to force me into the gym until, just like dieting it didn’t work.

Diet culture has taught us to jump into action… without ever asking why and how we got there in the first place is the reason why we keep repeating the same patterns time after time.

Find the place to start is to find the reason(s) why we resist exercise…. That’s the starting point of reclaiming the joy of movement.


What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • Why we resist exercise
  • The power of changing vocabulary
  • The simple process to create more movement action in your life
  • My movement goals for 2021 and game plan

23 Jul 2018144-The Mindset Shift of Successful Women00:50:02

What is the ONE mindset shift we must do to change our relationship to food?

I asked industry leaders, women who have successfully changed how they relate to food, what they did. It's simple yet so powerful tips and advice from women like you.

Most of the time "life-changing experiences" are generated by mindset changes not from food. The challenge is that we are being taught by weight loss and diet industry that changes will come from food and exercise. The truth is: IT'S NOT the case. That's why we struggle.

I want you to end the struggle, stop feeling frustrated with your body, and no more anxiety. Can you do that? Change your mindset.

So, let the ladies inspire you... and also I'll share mine!

Enjoy!

In this episode I discuss 

  • The real key driver of your food behavior
  • What industry leaders say to be successful in changing how to relate to food
  • What the weight loss and diet industry is really teaching us 
  • How to end your struggle, stop feeling frustrated with your body and eliminate anxiety

22 Jun 2018139-Ask Me: Avoiding Food Anxiety–How to Get to Worry-Free Eating00:30:06

"I just want to be able to eat a damn piece of cake of my B-day without feeling like I'm going to die!"

How to get over a lot of the food fear we have developed over the years of dieting or partaking in nutrition education or food philosophy diet?

What about fructose and fruit... should I feel like I'm killing myself by eating an orange?

Or what about eating a croissant with white flour... why do I feel so terrible about myself for wanting one?

Today, we answer Kacie's question about food anxiety by looking at how we create the food anxiety and what we could do instead to still care for our health via our nutrition but not stress about it! 

In this episode, I discuss 

  • What is food anxiety and how do we solve it?
  • The root cause of food anxiety
  • What role does perfectionism play in your life?
  • What is the 80-20 rule and where can you apply it?
  • The different ways to look beyond food anxiety

02 Dec 2021303-The Food Freedom Diet: Diet Culture’s Clickbait00:25:37

Food Freedom these days is getting tossed around a lot...and unfortunately, most often it’s a clickbait term to diet culture.

The truth is, Food Freedom is simply normal eating. It is our innate state of being as humans until the moment restriction comes in. These restrictions and rules are layered on in the Food Freedom Diet, all under the disguise of "Food Freedom".

The Food Freedom Diet continues to center your body and food and fails to address the diet culture belief system that leads to fear of fatness. Until we dismantle these beliefs, we haven’t achieved true food freedom.

What you will learn listening to this episode on food freedom:

  • Food Freedom is the new clickbait of diet culture
  • Definition of Food Freedom
  • Diet culture red flags
  • 5 questions to ask yourself before buying into a new plan

18 Apr 2019184-Turning Crisis into Awakening with Sheree Clark00:39:11

On today's episode, we speak with Sheree Clark

Are you at a “fork” in the road?

You know something needs to change... must change... has to change. You get the feeling that if you don’t make a choice now, life will make one for you.

For some, it’s an acute life event that forces them into making a choice... for me, it was collapsing on stage.

For other women, their body wisdom takes care of creating this fork in the road with aging and hormones. It’s called menopause. It’s the natural process that moves us from motherhood to coming of wisdom. Coming back to being “just” a woman... no longer the nurturer or caregiver. For many, that’s a hard transition.

In today’s episode, Sheree Clark talks about turning midlife crisis into mid-life awakening.  Sheree will help you create a vision for your fork in the road creating opportunities for growth, fun, and achievement.

Sheree Clark is a midlife courage coach, TV show host, inspiring speaker and accomplished author.

What you'll learn listening to this episode:

  • How Sheree found the courage to leave her successful career to find fulfillment.
  • “If I stay this way, life will eat me alive” feeling is real and how we can overcome it.
  • Sheree takes us through a powerful exercise to determine what fulfillment looks like for us.
  • How to approach the second phase of our life from a place of love instead of fear

03 Jun 2020PRO Series: Business Transition- S1 EP700:37:00

The business transition from the traditional model of nutrition and health to the non-diet model can be scary but also can be life-changing.

As with everything in life, how you approach the need for you to transition your business will make the journey scary, filled with anxiety and uncertainties OR you will make the journey pleasurable, filled with learnings and growth both personally and professionally.

I want you to take a moment and reflect upon your client and patient for a moment. When they come to you and you stand in front of them presenting Intuitive eating and the non-diet approach to health.

Does your client feel scared at the thought of not dieting? Hell yess…

Do they feel anxious about potentially gaining weight? Hell yess…

Are they uncomfortable with the uncertainty of not knowing what will happen? Hell yess…

Most of your clients will trust you and move forward following your guidance. Leaning into you for leadership. They will face their fears because the pain of staying into diet culture is greater than the one of facing their fears.

This episode is for all of you, Health PRO’s that know that making the transition to a non-diet model is the right thing to do but are crippled with fear. I ask you to be as courageous as the people who daily face their fear and ditch diet culture, make peace with their body, and overcome fatphobia.

Rachel’s story of transition

The best way for me to express the possibilities that are in front of you is not with teaching but instead with inspiration. The best way I know to inspire is with lived experience.

I’m welcoming a colleague, a good friend, and mentee, Rachel Molenda. Rachel will be sharing her lived experience as she transitioned her business over the last 12 months to the non-diet model.

 

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • Rachel’s origin story
  • How her own relationship to food led her to this work.
  • Rachel did a traditional model very successfully
  • Rachel shared how she was trying to be someone else
  • “I was living my life as a fiction” moment that changed everything
  • The business transition step by step
  • The transition culminates with the launch The BreakFree method
  • Right now, Rachel is learning intuitive living

13 Jan 2019173-So You Wanna Lose Weight? Part 100:45:25

Wanna Lose Weight?

Do you want to lose weight? 

If so, you are not alone. I was there for many years along with millions of other women just like you.  

The truth is 91% of women are unhappy about their body and seek weight loss as a solution. 

First, let’s level up on one fundamental point: No one wakes up one morning wanting to be fat, carry extra weight or not be able to lose weight. 

It’s a basic human need to be accepted by our tribe and peers, therefore to be “normal”. 

All we want to be “normal”, we want to be confident in our body and image.  We are ready to do, what needs to get done to feel “normal” in our body.  

For most of us in this community, this desire to be “normal weight” has gone one of two ways: we did lose weight at some point but it didn’t “stick” OR we haven’t yet attempted to lose weight because we are so afraid of failure and change.  

Why is it that we can’t do what we deeply desire?

That’s what we will cover in this 2-part podcast series: episode 173- 174. 

In this episode I discuss

  • What you need to consider in your desire to lose weight
  • Why your relationship to food now is simply a reflection of your relationship to yourself
  • How I changed my relationship to food from overeating, binging and emotional eating to food freedom

Last episode was an interview with a Type A woman, a graduate student of the Going Beyond the Food Academy, Susan. 

Susan is just like you and she shares her journey. Her journey to find peace with food and body using the Going Beyond The Food Method. She openly shared with us how hard-working A-type women who are used to being in control can also achieve success with food and their body. Moreover, the role that our beliefs play towards achieving Food Freedom and success in all aspect of our lives.

Are you a Type A woman struggling with your relationship food and body? This interview is for you. Click here!

27 Jul 2018145-The Food Freedom Map – Your Path to Intuitive Eating01:03:56

The Food Freedom Map

Do you eat for other reason than hunger? Eating because you are stressed, frustrated, bored, or because you deserve it? Do you believe in eating more intuitively and would love to trust yourself, but are losing self-respect because you aren’t following through?

Are you tired of dieting, over-exercising, and yet another fad program? Or, are you overeating or binging and wish you could just be a normal eater? Who wouldn’t be fed up by these scenarios?

Do you feel stuck with your eating and body?

Maybe you failed before, or you trust yourself to be consistent, if only you can only be “tougher on yourself, or you’re afraid of losing control. If that’s the case . . .

In this very special episode of The Beyond The Food Show podcast, I'm going to teach the Food Freedom Map 4 steps process. This Map will move you from being a victim of your food habits to eating when hungry and stopping when full. Yes, eating normally.

15 Apr 2024387-When Body Positivity Doesn’t Work00:54:39

This episode discusses the nuances between body positivity and body satisfaction, highlighting the issue of conflating body image with true satisfaction and well-being. The conversation, led by Stephanie Dodier, a non-diet nutritionist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and cognitive behavioral coach, along with guest Brie Campos, a licensed mental health counselor, delves into the origins of the body positivity movement and its transformation over time. They critique the diet culture's co-opting of body positivity, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of body image and its impact on individuals' mental health and self-esteem.

The discussion unpacks the misguided equating of health with thinness and challenges societal norms around body image, advocating for a shift from external motivations to intrinsic self-esteem and personal well-being. They propose self-esteem work detached from physical appearance as a solution to the limitations of the body positivity movement, focusing on empowerment, autonomy, and a broader perspective of health that encompasses mental, emotional, and psychological dimensions.

What you'll learn listening to this episode:

  • The true definition and origins of body positivity, and how it has been misinterpreted
  • Why body positivity alone is not an effective solution for healing our relationship with our bodies
  • The importance of rebuilding self-esteem and redefining our worth beyond physical appearance
  • The difference between "having to" and "wanting to" when it comes to self-care and wellness
  • The understanding that body image work is a lifelong journey, requiring ongoing self-exploration and growth

26 Sep 2023375-Intergenerational Dieting: Mother-Daughter Relationship with Dr. Morgan Francis00:36:49

Intergenerational Dieting: Mother-Daughter Relationship

Studies have found that women who began dieting at early ages were more likely to have daughters who would engage in binging or have problems with eating. These mothers were also more likely than other women to agree, when asked, that their daughters should lose weight.

That’s my story. I learned dieting with my many ants and mom. So what happen when you stop dieting and are on the journey to accepting your body and she’s not?

That is what we explore today, Dr. Morgan Francis. She’s a former dieter and now a mom of 3 who specializes in the treatment of body image, sexual health, relationships, self-empowerment, and eating disorders. 

What you’ll learn listening to this episode on Intergenerational Dieting:

  • What is intergenerational dieting and did it affect you
  • How to best approach your mother when you decide to stop dieting and she doesn’t  
  • The Role of Mother-Daughter Relationships in Determining Body Image
  • How to help your children form great self-esteem and body image

The Black Outfit

Do you have a black outfit in your closet?

Do you perhaps have more than 1 black outfit… one piece for every type of clothes?

Do you wear black clothes as often if not more often the bright colorful clothes?

Or do you wear bright colorful clothes that make you stand out in a crowd?

Do you strategically plan the color of your clothes based on where you’re going?

Is wearing black clothes a problem? Heck no... black, red or blue colors are neutral.

Instead, it’s about the intention. The intention that resides behind the choice of color

Why you are deciding to wear black clothes is where the juice is at sisters! What is your intention when you decide to wear black clothes?

I’ll share my answer when I asked myself this question. Not that my answer is almost the same as the one of nearly all the women I have worked with.

Why did I choose to wear black outfits more often than any other color? My intentions were many:

  • hide the body that I believed to be too much…
  • hopefully make my body invisible
  • make my “unconventional body” appear smaller
  • hopefully blend in with the crowd and not stand out

Is this you too?

“The Black Outfit” title of this episode is really an analogy, an analogy for us not embracing our fullness. Yes, our fullness physically but also our fullness emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Embracing who we are as women, who you are in our strengths, our voice, our being… our body.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • What is the Black Outfit Concept
  • How it shows up in most women’s life
  • How we can overcome the need to wear The Black Outfit

When I first started in my nutrition practice the term “non-diet approach” didn’t even cross my mind. “Anti-diet approach” didn’t even exist. Unbeknown to me, I was practicing the “diet approach to nutrition” simply because that’s what was taught in health & nutrition school.

Fast forward close to 10 years now and a lot have changed. The non-diet approach is growing rapidly, so has the anti-diet approach and intuitive eating is booming.

So in this episode, we will deep dive into the non-diet approach anatomy. You’ll learn:

  • What is the non-diet approach
  • Core values of the non-diet approach

19 May 2020PRO Series: Addressing the Real Root Cause - S1 EP500:28:57

In the first three years of clinical practice, I thought I was addressing the root cause of my patient health concerns.

In my training in holistic health & functional medicine, we are trained on addressing the underlying or root cause of chronic disease, taking into account the whole person including their environment, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Addressing the root cause is fundamental philosophy and honestly, the pride of alternative health approaches: resolving the root cause vs. just dealing with side effects.

I was asking a lot of questions and doing an in-depth assessment with the goal of uncovering the “real issue” that no other health professional had identified yet. This unidentified root cause was, as per my training in functional medicine the reason why my clients were “still struggling”.

Was I really addressing the real root cause”?

In today’s episode, I open the discussion to find out if we really addressing the real root cause with our traditional health coaching and nutrition model?

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

What’s the real root cause?
Why healing the root cause is so important

Do you often answer the question “How are you doing?” with “I’m just so busy....”

The thoughts that want to validate the fact that you’re too busy, that there’s not enough time, are coming from the exact same place in your brain that criticizes your body, that criticize your food choices.

That part of your brain is your fight or flight part of your brain – aka diet brain.

27 Feb 2020229 – Eating Intuitively with Diabetes with Rebecca Scritchfield & Glenys Oyston01:12:14

229- Eating-Intuitively-with-Diabetes

In today's episode, we'll explore eating intuitively with diabetes.

Can you blend intuitive eating and diabetes together?

I know this may feel counter-intuitive. As a matter of fact, I hear and get this question very frequently because let’s be honest, food restriction and weight loss are what Dr.Google tells us we must do in order to live with diabetes. Unfortunately, as with most health education available on the internet, it’s not the whole truth...or the truth at all.

I wanted to create the ultimate guide to help you with your diabetes journey and intuitive eating... and I did!

This is a collaboration with two colleagues that are expert in the treatment of diabetes under the lens of Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating.

Rebecca Scritchfield is a Washington DC-based Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Exercise Physiologist. And, she has been practicing weight inclusive, HAES care since 2008. Rebecca is also the author of the book Body Kindness and the host of the Body Kindness podcast.

Glenys Oyston is a Los Angeles-based Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. In addition, she has been practicing a HAES® philosophy since 2010 and has provided extensive diabetes education for the past five years. Glenys is co-host of the Dietitians Unplugged podcast.

What we cover in this episode of eating intuitively with diabetes: 

  • Is weight-loss the solution to treating diabetes?
  • 5 most frequent myths about diabetes debunk
  • The Health at Every Size approach to treating diabetes
  • Where to find resources to integrate a non-restrictive approach to preventing and treating diabetes.

10 Sep 2020252-Righteous Eating00:37:13

Are you a righteous eater?

One hint that you might be is the answer to this question: Do you secretly feel superior (better than others) because of the way you eat?

This one is also revealing: now again, answer silently: Do you feel a sense of shame or guilt when you don’t eat the way you think you should?

I emphasize the word secret or silent answer because admitting that you are a righteous eater publicly is just another layer of shame that we want to avoid.

We don’t seek righteous eating because something is wrong with us. On the contrary, we seek a righteous way of eating because we are trying to survive and protect ourselves from more “mean girl voice” critics.

We seek to eat righteously as a way to feel better about ourselves. To fill up the void left by the beliefs we aren’t worthy.

We desire to eat the right way in the hope of being worthy.

Diet culture has led us to believe that our self-worth was to be earned mainly through our body size and beauty, but also through trying hard enough to get “there”.

Righteous eating is, in my clinical experience, the #1 reason why women struggle with becoming an intuitive eater. Over time and years of chasing their self-worth with the next diet, they have acquired a distorted view of self-worth.

Unconsciously, many women believe that their sense of worth in “tangled” with their ability to eat the “right way” and “ get the right body”.

This is the foundation for righteous eating.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • The definition of righteous eating
  • How to determine if you are a righteous eater
  • How to overcome righteous eating
  • The one tool to change your self-esteem and sense of worth

Chances are you are one of the 31 million Americans experience low back pain at any given time. Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2010.

When I asked my community members what the top reasons were why they eat beyond hunger, chronic pain came in second. That feedback motivated me to share my own journey with pain in episode 138 "Things I'm afraid to tell you" but I hadn’t share with you how I healed my low back... that's what I'm going to tell you in today's episode.

Steven Ozanich, author of The Great Pain Deception will share with us the work of Dr. Sarno and TMS approach to pain... particularly, low back pain.

10 Oct 2019209-Intuitive Eating for Hormonal Health00:41:49

intuitive-eating-for-hormonal-health

Intuitive Eating and Hormonal Health

Women love intuitive eating as a concept but often will refute it based on other advice they receive, found or read on the internet. One of the most frequent situations I encounter is with hormonal health. Women wanting to balance their hormones, perhaps heal their hormones, are being told that to achieve such goal they must restrict certain food, go on a reset hormonal diet or do an elimination diet; therefore they can’t be an intuitive eater.

“I love intuitive eating but I’m working on balancing my hormones and I read Dr. XXXX book and she says that I must restrict all grains and dairy. Maybe later I can become an intuitive eater.”

Is this true? Is food restriction the solution to hormonal health?

I’m not a hormone specialist, but I’m a health expert and knowledgeable enough to know that this statement isn’t totally true.

Is food a contributing factor to health: YES.

Is food the only way to “balance hormone”? NO.

Is hormonal balance even a possibility? Well yes and no. More on that later.

So, why then are we sold “hormone reset diet” as the only way to balance the female hormone? DIET CULTURE, sisters!

Wellness Diet and Hormones

What is wellness diet? Good question. It’s the newborn of diet culture. Diet culture is the system of beliefs that thinner is better, smarter, and healthier.

Wellness Diet is the diet culture’s sneaky way of re-inventing itself to make it seem non-diety. It wants you to think it’s all about your health and wellness. It doesn’t promote itself as a diet, per se, but it might as well. It’s basically saying you’ll achieve health by eating what they recommend.

Just like diet culture tries to tell us. “Eat this, not that,” they say, and “you’ll balance your hormones.” Or, lose x amount of lbs or fat. The best example of Wellness Diet: how Weight Watchers recently rebranded themselves as a wellness company, “Wellness that Works”.

Or more the #1 New York Times bestseller on hormonal health from Dr. Sara Gottfried MD “The hormone Reset Diet- Heal your metabolism to lose up to 15 pounds in 21 days”. The secret is in the subtitle line... it’s about weight loss.

Why do want to balance your hormones or …?

 Let’s be honest with each other.... in most cases, it’s a secret desire to lose weight or maintain weight loss effortlessly.  As smart women, we don’t want to say it’s a weight loss desire because we know it’s not “politically correct” but that’s what we wish for.

As I share in this podcast, I know I was there for many years... and spent $$$$$ trying to achieve “hormonal balance”. The so desired “hormonal balance” never materialized itself until I spot obsessing about food... yes, when I became an intuitive eater that’s when the “hormonal health” finally showed up.

Why did intuitive eating provide the environment for my body to be hormonally better? One word: STRESS.

That's what we'll cover in this episode:

  • What exactly is a hormone?
  • Hormonal imbalance in women
  • How to balance hormone
  • Stress and hormone
  • Inflammation and hormone imbalance
  • Hormonal health and intuitive eating
  • Weight-neutral approach to health

04 Mar 2021277-You Don’t Have to Love Your Body00:26:17

Let’s look at a few questions:

Do you think that the ultimate goal of making peace with your body is to love your body? 

I mean, being able to look at your body in the mirror and love every part of it? 

Perhaps you think that you should be able to put on a bikini and be able to show off your body to everyone looking with pride? 

Perhaps you think that when you finally “heal your body image,” it will mean that you’ll never have a negative thought about your body, and instead, you’ll have adoration thought for each part of your body. 

Is that you? 

Is this your current belief system when it comes to your body, body image, and body weight?   

It sure was me…. 

You don’t have to love your body. 

In today’s episode, we are going to share with you the reasons for this bold statement. 

NO, you don’t have to love your body to normalize weight gain or to adopt a non-diet lifestyle.

In fact, you don’t have to love your body to become an intuitive eater or to make peace with your body.

NO, you don’t have to love your body to heal your body image.

What you need is Body Respect. 

What you’ll learn listening to this episode: 

  • Why I fail attempting to love my body 
  • How diet brain plays into our body’s perspective 
  • How to trade body love for body respect 
  • The path towards body respect

17 Dec 2020266-Goal Setting00:24:50

Smart Goals are to goal setting what dieting is to Diet Culture.

For years, I set goals the diet Culture way… you know, the SMART GOALS. Every year the pattern repeated itself. Give up by the 5th week.

Just like diet culture, SMART goals are anchored on external results, accomplishment of actions, grounded into avoidance of failure and perfectionism. It’s archaic, sexist and builds on elitist principles.

Just like dieting doesn’t work, SMART goals do not work because it disregards how humans function. It requires constant willpower, which we know to be a limited resource, so when willpower runs out, action-driven goal setting techniques stop working.

In today’s episode, we are going to discover the right way of setting goals for women: the diet-culture-free way to set goals.

04 Oct 2018158-“Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong”... Almost!00:53:53

An article was published by Huffington Post on September 19th, 2018 sent shock wave in the world. The article titled “Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong” by Micheal Hobbes is controversial... is challenging all of our societal beliefs around obesity all of them.

From obesity is the #1 enemy of health to dieting throws it all in the air... and also explains why we suffer so much when stigmatized with weight issues.

Is it all true? Almost... Although I agree with most certain elements just encourage even more victimization and more suffering.

In today’s podcast, we are going to look at this article and dissect what is right and what is wrong... and most importantly, what to do with this information.

In this episode I discuss

  • The reason why how we've handled obesity is wrong
  • Why fat-shaming isn't only not cool, but also doesn't work in weight loss

This is such a sensitive topic for moms... Me, the single woman with no kids telling them to take time for themselves.

I have a guest expert who can speak about this from a lived experience. She’s a mom of 3 kids under 12, with a professional career and now starting a business.

Unyime gets it.

Unyime Oguta is our guest today. She’s a Non-Diet Nutritionist, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and a student of mine. She’s just about to graduate from our Non-Diet Mentorship program.

06 Aug 2020247- The Inner Child with Victoria Albina00:39:47

The “inner child” is a concept used by psychologists and therapists of all backgrounds to express the deep-seated beliefs that one’s hold within and often expresses itself in “self-sabotaging” behaviors.

The “inner child” is part of the teaching and learning you have acquired before your teens that still is present within your subconscious mind. The thoughts that are still playing in your mind driving some of the “inexplicable” desires, behaviors, or thought you are experiencing as an adult today.

In the world of intuitive eating, the “inner child” is ever so present in all your food urges beyond physical hunger.

In today’s episode, we welcome an expert on inner child Victoria Albina a Certified Life Coach and Certified Breathwork Meditation Facilitator with a passion for helping women realize that they are their own best healers. Victoria has been working in health & wellness for over 20 years and lives in New York City.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • What is the “inner child”?
  • Are you still trying to be a “good girl”?
  • The role of our nervous system in meeting our own needs
  • The need for co-regulation
  • Reparenting our inner child
24 Aug 2023371-The Safety of Conformity00:31:10

Being different in a world that thrives on conformity can be hard and cause a lot of suffering.

Have you ever thought:  “but I felt much more confident when my body was smaller!”

When confidence is shaken by the size of your body, it’s not confidence you were experiencing: it was the safety of compliance. 

You felt safe because you had the thought you were protected from your fear of judgment and rejection.

The Safety of Conformity

When you seek conformity instead of accepting yourself and your difference from the “norm” you consistently:

  • watch and monitor your conformity
  • always wonder, “Am I enough?”
  • work harder to meet the norm
  • your happiness and life enjoyment is dependent on what others think of you.
  • Feel constantly anxious… fear of losing acceptance because of missing out on conformity.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode on the Safety of Conformity:

  • What is the safety of conformity
  • Why we do not seek to conform in all parts of our life
  • The anti-dote to safety of conformity

30 Dec 2021307-Greatest Hits: How to Upgrade Your Body Image00:35:55

Upgrade your body image with body neutrality so that you can free yourself from all-consuming negative body image.

Your body image is not uni-dimensional. Rather, it’s the sum of how you see, think, and feel about your body. And as a result, how you treat your body.

The goal of body neutrality is to dial down the enormous significance that’s being given to physical attractiveness in our society.

Body Neutrality pushes back on all aspects of society that continue to promote beauty ideals as the ultimate accomplishment. As such, it also rejects the idea that a person’s appearance is indicative of their worth.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • The 4 components of body image
  • The Body Image Scale
  • Why you shouldn’t aim to be body positive
  • The feminist approach to body image
  • Body neutrality in real life

Finding the Courage to Do What’s Best for You

In this special bonus edition of The Beyond the Food Show podcast, I’m sharing a powerful case study that will show you how transforming your relationship to food is not only possible without willpower but also transforming your entire life: kids, partner, work and all!

To kick off this new segment of the podcast, I’m showcasing the story of one of the members of our Academy community, Jessica Tomasko. Jessica is in her 40’s, a mother of 2, wife, and a professional who, in her words, says she has spent her whole life binging and dieting. She was desperate, miserable, and scared that if nothing changes, she would spend the rest of her life suffering.

Jessica is a source of inspiration for all women. Jessica agreed to do this to impact other women... like you.

Visit https://www.stephaniedodier.com/podcast-episodes/ for complete show notes of every podcast episode 

In this episode I discuss 

  • Why is it worth your time and money to do the Going Beyond the Food Academy 
  • How the Going Beyond the Food Academy can help you not only as an individual but also as a mother
  • The reasons why the Going Beyond the Food Academy is different from other weight loss programs
  • Why we need to stop fearing our emotions
  • How eating intuitively will help your body seek nutrition naturally

In the last episode, I talked about how much is your desire to control your food and weight is really costing you. I was hesitant at first because I know the values and beliefs that many of us have around money and how sensitive it is for many women. However, after months of thinking, I’ve decided to speak publicly.

Cost and money are the #1 reason why women do not take their knowledge to the next level, thus, creating changes and transformation in their lives. Nothing will ever change if we continue doing the same thing that resulted in our current situation. That applies to anything… 

If you are one of the women who's hindered by money to be able to create changes and transformation in your life, this episode is for you. Listen up! Click here.

02 Jul 2019195-Bathing Suit Confidence: My 7 Lessons-SHE’s Beyond The Food–Chapter 500:24:49

On today's episode, we talk about bathing suit confidence

Usually around April, we start hearing about “getting that bikini body” like it’s a thing we need to earn. After months of hibernation we are supposed to dust ourselves off and work really really hard to get a body that deserves to wear a bathing suit.

The truth I discovered through my own journey is that being confident in a bathing suit doesn’t require months of planning and buckets of sweat aren’t required.

We don’t have to earn the right to wear our bathing suit in public... we already have it. I just needed to find it!

So if you are struggling with enjoying the summer water because of how you feel in your bathing suit and perhaps wearing the bathing suit at all... you’ll want to listen to this!

On the episode today, I’ll share the 7 lessons I learned while getting back my confidence in a bathing suit and the exact steps I took.

Here’s a very powerful quote from Lindsay Kites from Beauty Redefined

“We don’t hate our bodies because they don’t look good enough, but because they’ve learned looks are all that matter." - Lindsay Kites, PhD.

And that ladies it the real issue we need to own up too when it comes to bathing suit confidence!

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • You don’t need to earn the right to wear the dang bathing suit.
  • Wearing a bathing suit is simply practicality.
  • You can’t fool anyone…
  • Getting the right bathing for you makes all the difference.
  • Practice… yup, walk around the house with the dang thing on!
  • Pick your environment for your coming out party.
  • Invest in a good cover up.

At some point, I’ll just eat better right?

That is often the question we ask ourselves as we go through intuitive eating. We think that if we do the intuitive eating work diligently it will lead us to eating better.

What is eating better?

To a brain that has been affected by diet culture and had to adapt to survive years of food restriction, eating better most often means “eating healthier”. 

How does an undieted brain think of gentle nutrition?

Good Girl Syndrome

Do you remember being told to be a “good girl” when you were young? And praised for being a “good girl” and punished for not being a good girl?

Although socialized very early on as women, to be a good girl this socialization is done with good intentions but it leaves grown-up women struggling and in pain.

We are told to be:

  • sexy, but not sexual;
  • skinny, but not to be healthy;
  • smart, but not too smart.

The contradictory messages are seemingly endless.

We have this duality within us... this need to be a “good girl” while needing to be autonomous, smart and independent as adult women. It’s a contradiction we carry within us that we think is abnormal.... a sign that something is wrong with us.

Yet nothing is wrong... we were just socialized to something we cannot be. Being a “good girl” is an impossible standard to achieve leaving us confused, doubting ourselves, and in cycles of shame.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

  • What is the good girl syndrome
  • Signs that the good girl syndrome is present in your life
  • How it impacts how you relate to food & your body
  • What happens when you say hell no to being a good girl

In today’s episode, we are diving into the truth about why rebellious eating happens and how you can resolve it once and for all. 

Have you attempted intuitive eating, hoping you would easily eat according to your hunger and fullness cues, only to end up with rebellious eating habits? 

This is totally normal. 

Contrary to what diet culture teaches, the solution to ending rebellious eating behaviours is not via willpower, self-discipline, or shameful tactics. Ending rebellious eating behaviours is possible when you take radical self-responsibility and shift your mindset toward food.

  1. What rebellious eating habits are

26 Dec 2019220-Cycles of Binge Eating and Restricting: How to End It?00:30:58

220-Cycles of binge eating and restricting_ How to end it_-Stephanie Dodier

In today's episode, we'll talk about binge eating and restricting.

Whenever somebody brings up the topic of how to stop binge eating, I vividly remember the day I caught myself binge eating. This story happens at the peak of my most restrictive dieting period.

It was a Friday, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. My plans with my partner just fell through; he decided to accept an invitation from his buddies to watch a game. I was left alone with no plans on a Friday night.

I thought I’d just stop by the grocery on my way home, put on my PJ’s, and watch some movies. At the grocery store, I automatically gravitated towards the food I was restricting myself at the time: Carbohydrate, Dairy and sugar (hint, hint Keto!)

I grabbed a frozen family-size pizza, some fresh mozzarella, a bag of mini brownies, and a pint of Dulce Haagen Dazs ice cream. Food was going to be my companion as I hit the couch for a romantic movie night.

By the time the first movie was over, I was sitting there on my couch with an empty box of pizza, a half-empty bag of brownies, and an ice cream pint just about done…I wondered what just happened.

I suddenly felt the sting of self-loathing. Soon, I was beating myself up, calling myself names that I wouldn’t call my worst enemy. As I bullied myself, I quickly cleaned up and made all evidence disappear out of fear of anyone knowing.

I have been very hesitant about sharing this story with you...

But I want you to know that you are not alone. There is nothing wrong with you and you aren’t broken. There is a reason why you do this. Until you find it and work on healing it, binge eating will not go away.

What is Binge Eating?

Psychologists define binge eating as eating more food than most people would in a specific amount of time under similar circumstances. It is characterized by a sense of lack of control and is associated with negative emotions. Binge eaters have difficulty regulating their emotions and use food to cope with them.

At the time, I knew that what I was doing was called binge eating or overeating, but I had no idea why I was doing it. I just thought something was wrong with me, so I kept it a secret. Afraid that others might judge me, I hid my shame and guilt behind a façade of strength. Then I punished myself by restricting food the next day.

I now know that I eat to numb the emotions I didn’t want to feel and because of the food restriction, I was imposing myself.

In today’s episode, we will explore how to stop the cycle of binge eating and restricting.

What you'll learn listening to this episode:

  • The spectrum of eating behavior
  • Disordered eating versus eating disorder
  • Overeating versus binge eating
  • How to end the cycle of binge eating and restriction
  • Diet Culture mindset in healing relationship to food
  • Support to help you in your journey

22 Nov 2018164-Holiday Survival Guide00:30:06

Holiday Survival Guide

Surviving the holidays can be tough. Thriving in the holiday nearly impossible for some.

Perhaps the holiday period is causing you more anxiety than pleasure. The anticipation of seeing certain family members might be causing you to be in an emotional eating rollercoaster.

Perhaps the business of it all drives you to completely forget about yourself and by the time you get to Christmas, you’re completely exhausted and completely lost control on any healthy habits you might have in place just a few weeks before.

The Beyond The Food Holiday Survival guide will move you from self-destructing eating habits during the holiday to thriving and loving the holidays altogether!

and Yes, it’s possible...

As with anything we teach here, a few tweaks in your mindset and how you approach certain situation or event will be needed to move from shriveling at the idea to anticipating the holiday with excitement.

In this episode I discuss

  • The #1 cause of emotional eating loop
  • My personal advice on how you engage with food and weight during the holidays
  • How to deal with negative family members 

Last episode, I shared why smart women don't diet and what they do instead. I know exactly based on my personal experience... after 27 years of dieting, I’m clear on one thing… diets don’t work. We think that a “thin” body is going to unlock our happiness, our acceptance, our joy. 

The stats are clear... 

91% of all women are unhappy about their body and resort to dieting. 

And 95% of all dieters regain their all weight within 1-5 years.

Yet we keep dieting. We keep hating our body. We keep judging ourselves for our inability to be in freaking control… yet neuroscience is clear: WILLPOWER is a limited resource.

Still dieting? You gotta listen to this, smart woman! Click here.

28 Nov 2019216-Everything the BMI Gets Wrong with Alissa Rumsey RD - The Weight Loss Series Part 300:52:00

Everything-the-BMI-gets-wrong-Stephanie Dodier

In today's episode, we'll talk about everything the BMI gets wrong

Are you "overweight"? Am I "overweight"?

That single question creates more anxiety & stress to women than any other question. Being overweight implies that there’s a weight we should be at. In today's society, THAT weight is determined by BMI.

The Body Mass Index, the metric that uses to classify people in groups. Moreover, it’s the measure of "obesity" as per medical view and a simple calculation of 2 factors: weight and height. To convert the measurement to the unit of BMI in kg/m2, you must divide the weight in pounds by the height in inches squared, then multiply by 703.

My BMI Story

For the purpose of this article, I did my BMI calculation using the official CDC BMI calculator. If you are between 18-24.9 you are deemed normal, 25-29.9 "overweight" and 30 or above "overweight". I bet you’re curious to know my result? 39. I’m considered a class 2 "obese".

As a matter of fact, for the longest, I can remember I was never not considered “overweight” based on BMI. During one of my many diet cycles in my adulthood, I remember hitting one of my lowest body weights, 180 lbs., body fat of 18% and wore size 8 p but when I calculated my BMI: "overweight".

I remember the day I did the calculation and seeing the result. It sent me down a spiral of shame and binging. I still wasn’t enough.

Not only was I healthy as ever but also had just received a full annual health check and no longer was considered pre-diabetic. My cholesterol was well below normal, my blood pressure was stellar, my inflammation blood markers were the lowest they could be... and overweight.

Is BMI an accurate measure of health?

What happens if you are over-the BMI weight prescribe? Is BMI ratio an accurate measure of health?

Many experts disagree that just stating the fact that BMI ratio was never created with the intention of measure of health.

Recently, a 2016 study by researchers at UCLA published this month in the International Journal of Obesity looked at 40,420 adults in the most recent U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and assessed their health as measured by six accepted metrics (not including BMI) blood pressure, triglyceride, cholesterol, glucose, insulin resistance and C-reactive protein.

It found out that 47 percent of people classified as "overweight" by BMI and 29 percent of those who qualified as obese were healthy as measured by at least five of those other metrics.

Meanwhile, 31 percent of normal-weight people were unhealthy by two or more of the same measures.

That means, we can be healthy and yet be considered "overweight". It bears the question: Over what weight exactly?

So, why do we worry about BMI?

What you'll learn listening to this episode:

  • The history of the BMI
  • How to determine your health status
  • The many health impacts of weight stigma.
  • Health at Every Size & Weight neutral approach to health

Holistic Approach to Making Peace with Food and Body

Why do I need to go beyond the food to make peace with food and my body

That’s the one question I get and yes...

that’s a very valid question, and to be honest, a very good starting point for us to have a very powerful conversation.

We’ve been trained for years via diet culture to seek a solution to our food, weight and body issues with food and exercise. If we whip in shape our physical body, we will get result. Get thinner... and then, we’ll be happy and healthy.

yet it doesn’t work. We know that and hence why you and I are here...

Why doesn’t it work... because our relationship with food and body doesn’t stem from our physical body, rather it shows up in our physical body. It originates from our mind, emotions, and spirit.

That’s what I’ve found through my own struggle and later on what my training and education has taught me. The 4 layers of the human being is what we address in the Going Beyond the Food Method. It stems from a very old body of work - Holistic health.

In today’s episode, we’ll deep dive into the physical body particularly around perimenopause with Dr. Michelle Sands

In show 177, we spoke to the mental body with Christina Hyland.

In show 178, we spoke about the spiritual body with Dr. Louise Swartswalter.

Upcoming in show 180, we’ll talk about the emotional body with Dr. Joan Rosenberg.  Finally, show 181 we’ll talk about a unique aspect of human that has a tremendous impact on why we urge to eat or self-destruct via body shaming: our nervous system.

In this episode I discuss

  • The reason why we cannot separate each of the 4 bodies from each other
  • The role of the physical body in relationship to the holistic health model
  • Perimenopause and menopause: their impact to women's body overall health
  • Why suffering is optional when dealing with perimenopause and menopause

Last episode was an insightful interview with Dr. Louise Swartswalter as we deep dive into the spiritual body and its impact on the way we engage with food and body.  

She gave us a clear understanding of what energy medicine is and how to begin to heal our spiritual body. She also gave us practical situation how the spiritual body shows up in our day to day life. 

Ultimately, she talked about how the Spiritual Body  is key to making peace with food and body. Click here!

203-Perfectionist Paradigm Shift-Stephanie Dodier

On today's episode, we'll talk about the perfectionist paradigm shift

Do you struggle in creating new long-lasting habits in your life? Particularly around food and health?

Maybe it’s exercise: you pay your new subscription to the gym with excitement and enthusiasm and plan to go 5 days a week before work.

Yet 6 weeks later, you’re not going to the gym anymore and your brain is going crazy with very self-critical thoughts as to why you once again failed yourself and all the things that are wrong with you.

Is that you? That was me until I learned to shift my paradigm about perfection.

Perfectionist, is that you?

The perfectionist is a personality trait characterized by a person's striving for flawlessness and setting high-performance standards, accompanied by critical self-evaluations and concerns regarding others' evaluations.

Is that an accurate description of you?

Perfectionism is a trait of character present in many women that have been dieting for a long time. Our diet brain tells us that we need to be perfect at food & exercise if we hope to ever change our body... and diets reinforce this need for perfection via their food rules and need to be “on plan” all the time.

Worse, when we fail to achieve our diet goals, guess whose fault is it? Ours. The reason diet culture gives is that we are flawed... and if we were good enough aka had more discipline, it would have worked for us. So, we keep striving to be better and attempt to offset our flaw with a burning desire to be perfect.

Perfectionism and Habit Creation

The problem with perfectionist fantasy is that we set ourselves up for failure, which results in a lack of integrity with ourselves.

And we feel bad about that, too! Not only are we flawed for not being able to diet successfully, but now we can’t even trust ourselves. So, we fantasize even more about our perfect meal plan and exercise regimen and hope that tomorrow will be the right day.

The problem is that in order to be able to create consistent long-term habits, we need to trust and believe in ourselves. We need to be able to start small to be able to grow big but diet brain hates that!

Minimum Baseline

Minimum baseline is the anti-dote to perfection.

It is how you can recover from perfectionism and diet brain all in one.

Minimum baseline is how you will repair your integrity with yourself and begin a trustworthy relationship with YOU.

Minimum baseline is simple... too simple for our perfectionistic brain. It will be hard to manage your mind and all the self-critical thoughts that will come along.

In this episode, I teach you how to use the model of minimum baseline to successfully create new habits in your life when you have a diet brain! This model will shift your paradigm about needing to be perfect!

What you’ll learn today:

  • The relationship between us being a perfectionist and dieting
  • What needs to come first before creating new habits
  • The perfectionist paradigm shift to implement in your life
  • The key to consistent lifetime habits
  • What is minimum baseline and how to implement in your life
