Happy Satiated Saturday!
Fitness culture has made body image recovery even more confusing. I've seen people year after year question if it is alright to want to lose weight, or lift weights, or increase muscle.
What I like to return to is the intention behind these desires and how they feel in your body. Any intention approached from a place of self hate, of disrespecting the body, or pushing the body beyond what it can handle...

At twenty-one, when traveling abroad, I was so nervous about what to eat and eating around others that I did not nourish myself well. I flew home on an 8 hour flight with a fever of 103.
Talking about regulating your nervous system and eating to support your body during travel and vacations is now one of my favorite things to share.
So, I knew in this body image series that I wanted to bring someone on to c...

I'm excited to tell you that today marks a month long focus on the podcast on body image healing.
Every summer, I have noticed an uptick in body image conversation on social media and in my sessions and programs.
So last summer, I started a little podcast tradition of offering a whole series focused and dedicated to supporting you in navigating body image during the months where more of your body is be...

Anyone else notice how much noise there has been recently about carbohydrates and protein?
Protein has to be in everything. I literally just got an email this morning from a company that is now making protein granola. 🤦🏻♀️
And the continued arguments between those giving nutrition advice about eat carbs, don't eat carbs, don't eat the wrong kind of carbs, don't eat the wrong kind of carbs i...

Labels like stress eating and emotional eating need some updating.
By tacking on the words stress or emotional to eating, it gives the perception that the "problem" is stress or emotions, and if you can fix being a stressed person or person who feels (an impossible task), THEN the food behavior might go away.
Stress and emotions are a part of life. Because of this, the practice can be to see the p...

Making friends as an adult can be hard! Not only can it be difficult to find people you truly connect with, but it can also be hard to put yourself out there when you've experienced trauma in relationships with others.
There can be fear that you will be hurt again, as you were in the past. Yet, while trauma can occur in relationships, healing relational wounds can occur in relationships with others as ...

How do you feel about eating around others?
I remember in my years of struggling with food how scary it would feel to eat with others. There was a constant inner dialogue about eating the "right" things in the "right" amount.
I would find myself consistently undereating when going out and then overeating or binge eating when I would get home, as I felt starving and dysregulated.
Eating ar...

A common theme I've seen over the years working with women 1:1 is that for many (myself included), body image concerns started during teenage years.
Ugh, a shifting and changing body is so difficult to be with, to trust, and to come home to.
Your body is going to change again and again throughout your life. That can feel terrifying. When you've experienced past trauma where everything felt unknown...
Happy Satiated Saturday!
Many of you may know that touch has been linked to the release of oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone related to reproduction, social bonding, stress regulation, and promotes feelings of love, trust, attachment, intimacy, and calm. Ya know what else stimulates the release of oxytocin? Eating.
Research studies have found that an increase in oxytocin can decrease the urge to eat. So you can imagine that if you&ap...

It can be confusing what path to choose for your food recovery when there are many different paths you can walk. When exploring all the various avenues, you can focus on your experience of choice.
There is no "right" way to decrease your food coping mechanisms. It gets to be unique to you, your body, and what supports you in feeling the way you want to feel in your life. Your recovery resources ar...
Happy Satiated Saturday!
When you're feeling threatened in your body, hunger and fullness cues can feel wonky and also frightening.
Hunger can come out of nowhere and remind you how little control you may feel in your life right now. The felt sense of hunger can be similar to past experiences you've had that left you feeling unsafe.
The empty feeling may remind you of being abandoned as a child and the hurt and pain of no...

What if diet culture wasn't actually the "problem"?
Focusing on diet culture can become a distraction. It keeps the conversation circling around the same point—being controlled around our food choices is the problem, and we need to regain our experience of choice with food.
Yet, when all of our attention stays on food, we miss out on exploring the deeper layers of who we are, beyond what we e...

Intuition has been fascinating for me.
I first started getting into the mind-body connection through practicing and learning about yoga and yoga philosophy. In yoga classes, I would often hear teachers talking about trusting your intuition. To be guided by your intuition.
But, what I rarely heard was descriptions of how do you know something is intuition. Is what you're feeling intuition or fear? The m...

How do you currently view symptoms or impulses in your body?
Are they something to be fixed? Are they wrong or bad? Are you afraid of them when they increase?
If you said yes to these questions, you might notice how does it feel in your body to view the body's symptoms and impulses as wrong, bad, fearful, and need of fixing? Something I've been teaching for a while is that your food coping mechanis...
Happy Satiated Saturday!
While trauma-based food coping mechanisms, like binge eating, can feel dramatic, healing can sometimes (not always) be incredibly boring.
Decreasing food patterns can look like simple acts of body care, like:
- Eating consistent, balanced meals
- Moving your body in nourishing ways
- Taking time to breathe and enjoy a moment
- Fostering a validating inner dialogue
- Finding ways to laugh and have fun
These are t...

I have one published article in a journal titled, The Enteric Nervous System and Body Psychotherapy: Cultivating a Relationship with the Gut Brain.
I have a fascination and curiosity about the gut. The gut contains about 100 trillion bacteria that contribute to your mood, mental health, immune system, cravings, and nervous system.
Some studies have found that there are some missing microbes in the guts of peo...

When I started to learn about the mind-body connection through yoga, I dove deep into all things yoga. I became a bit of a yoga fanatic and that led me to learn about Ayurveda, which is yoga's sister science.
Ayurveda is a whole-body system of medicine. Rather than seeing symptoms as problems to be fixed, Ayurveda approaches symptoms as imbalances that can be brought into balance with foods, movements,...

Have you ever noticed that the strongest memories are the ones where you felt the most presence and embodiment? I will never forget my first yoga class because when I was shaking while holding a plank, I couldn't be anywhere else but in my body.
At the beginning of your eating recovery, you may feel disconnected and dissociated. Your body has felt like an unsafe place to inhabit. Food has served as a w...
Happy Satiated Saturday!
Proprioception is your body's ability to sense movement and know where you are in space. When you've experienced past trauma, you dissociate from your body out of protection.
This can decrease your proprioceptive awareness where food comes in to experience movement, embodiment, and have a moment of presence to feel where you are right here and now.
In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I c...

In April of 2022, I went to Disney World with my family and came back with covid. It was, unfortunately, the Delta strain that left me with long covid.
I had to use an oxygen concentrator while I slept for about a year while my lungs healed through nebulized steroids and inhalers. I also had the lovely long covid symptom of losing my ability to swallow where I was on an all-liquid way of eating for almost t...
