Intuitive eating is an evidenced-based approach to eating that helps people tune into their body's unique needs, rather than relying on external food rules to determine what, when, and how much they eat.

In today’s episode we’ll cover:

• The core principles of intuitive eating and what they look like in practice
• Navigating body dissatisfaction while wanting to eat more intuitively
• How diet culture may be informing our food choices and desire to lose weight
• Ways to shift your perspective from wanting to change your body to changing how you feel about your body & MORE!

Coronavirus has complicated food shopping, and you may find that items are sold out, foods are overpriced, or that you have to spend a ridiculous amount of time on checkout lines. There are also the aggressive shoppers that want to race you for the last carton of eggs (if this sounds really specific, it’s because it legit happened to me yesterday). Usually we make a supermarket run every week to grab essentials, but needless to say, we’ve been trying to limit those runs because the experience has become so unpleasant. Also, social distancing is a real thing.

Freezing is an excellent way to preserve foods, and can be especially useful during these chaotic food shopping times. Tune in to today’s episode to learn:

-Our tried and true top foods for freezing that you may not have thought to freeze
-How to package these foods properly 
-Creative ways to use these foods when ready to cook
-Plus how we’re holding up with everything that’s been going on

What’s one good book that you COULD. NOT. PUT DOWN. in 2019? For me, it was The Eating Instinct by journalist & author, Virgina Sole-Smith. In this book, Virginia visits kitchen tables around America to tell her own story, as well as the stories of women recovering from weight loss surgery, of people who eat only nine foods, of families with unlimited grocery budgets and those on food stamps. The book is a deep dive into how we all learn to eat in today’s toxic food culture. In today’s episode we discuss: how Virginia got into this work (it started when her newborn stopped eating) and how Virginia’s relationship with food evolved throughout the years. We also explore how social media has contributed to our heightened stress around food, how to navigate food struggles with kids, and things you can do to make sure you’re not projecting your own body image issues onto your children.

Do you compare yourself with others? (Raises hand.) Our podcast guest this week, Marci Evans, spoke about social comparison theory at our annual nutrition conference, and it was hands down the most powerful presentation I have ever been to. Social comparison theory states that individuals determine their own social and personal worth based on how they stack up against others. In some cases, comparison can be helpful, but more often than not, it’s bad for our wellbeing. If you have ever compared your success, body image, relationship status, friendships or even living situation to anyone else (especially on social media), you HAVE to listen to this episode. Tune in to learn: Which personality types tend to be more prone to comparing (hint: people who are empaths), what happens to our brains when we make these cross-comparisons, and concrete things you can do to compare less…starting NOW (and for free).

We get so many patients & listeners who hit us up about wanting to live a little healthier- and the focus of the conversation usually starts with weight loss. A lot of people equate being healthy with losing weight.

Recently one of Wendy's BFFs posted a photo of a meal online and she was instantly food shamed. One of her followers quickly chastised her for not being vegan and went on to say that her way of eating was unhealthy and that she was basically setting herself up for a life of chronic disease. As dietitians, we wanted to take a stand when it comes to the rampant food shaming that is happening both online and in person. In this episode, we dissect what food shaming looks like, why it doesn't work and what to do instead.

Should you do that detox? We have been asked this question time and time again. What do you think about juice cleanses? The 48-hour cleanse? Tea-tox? The Master cleanse? Charcoal cleanse?

But the fact of the matter is: There is no real evidence that detoxes live up to the claims, and when all is said and done, they can be a big hit to your bank account. Today we get into what detoxing is, does it work, and we share our top tips for enhancing your natural body detox systems!
