In this episode, my past client Jennifer shares her story of lifelong dieting and trying to control her body.

In this episode of the Food Freedom Life podcast, host Brittany Allison answers an important question: should you avoid certain foods because they're unhealthy? She explores the concept of food neutrality and viewing all foods without labeling them as good or bad. She emphasizes the multifaceted role of food in providing joy, connection, and cultural experiences, beyond mere physical nourishment. Brittany discusses the importance of evaluating your personal health values and the impact of diet culture on your food choices. She also addresses the health concerns around red40, seed oils, red meat, and the balance between nutritional needs and emotional well-being, encouraging listeners to make informed, empowered decisions about their diet while avoiding restrictive mindsets.

Hey! I'm back! After a bit of a holiday-start-of-the-new-year-craziness break, The Food Freedom Life Podcast is back with a topic I talk about with my clients ALL the time- the fear of judgement.

When it comes to your body image, weight gain, or other insecurities you have, it can be easy to get stuck in your head about what other people are going to think about you. Will they notice I've gained weight? Will they think I've let myself go? Are they going to think less of me? Our inner gremlin can become really convincing that you are not good enough, unworthy, and a lesser version of yourself because of how your body looks.

In this podcast episode, Registered Dietitian Brittany Cory dives into:

• The fear of judgement about your body
• How fear plays into your confidence and ability to be present
• Why the validation from weight loss messes with your mind
• Looking outside of your physical appearance and shifting your mindset

I'm here to teach you how to get out of your head, reframe the way you think about your body in social situations, and help you step into an embodied, confident, and freer version of yourself.

This week, we're going to work on a topic that you may be very familiar with- secret eating. A lot of you do it. I used to do it.

My past client, Emily, is a formerly-nomadic, creative, fun-loving data engineer who dealt for years with patterns of restriction, bingeing, and at times, purging. When we started working together, she described herself as an "emotional binge eater" and had figured out why these patterns were happening but was having a hard time putting the steps into action. By working through her inner child wounds and healing patterns that were keeping her stuck, Emily found food freedom and the ability to fully enjoy food, without it taking over her life or mental energy.

In this episode, we chat about Emily's experiences with disordered eating and celiac disease, the role of control and coping strategies in disordered eating, her healing journey and the importance of reconnecting with her inner child, understanding and accepting natural fluctuations in hunger levels, and approaching feelings and coping with high expectations through creative fun and exploration. Tune in to hear Emily's full story!

So you know the mean voice inside your head that makes you believe all the nasty, shameful and blame-y things it says? When the thoughts inside your head are constantly telling you how bad, unworthy and such a failure you are? If you have a super loud, intrusive inner bully inside of you who will not quiet down or go away, this episode will teach you how to turn down the volume on this voice and discern it from your voice. So I want to start off by asking you, who are you listening to?
