Happy Satiated Saturday! 

After traveling to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands for almost 2 weeks, many of you requested that I share some tips on how to navigate food fears and body image concerns while traveling.

There's this messy middle part when you're healing from disordered eating where you won't know what your body is trying to tell you and when you travel, your sympathetic nervous system can be triggered easil...

Did you know being entrenched in diet culture for decades can affect your bodily expression? One way this can show up is through tightening and sucking in your belly for years. I know this was something I used to do and sometimes have to remind my belly that's not something we need to do anymore. 

When you've received messages about how your body is supposed to look, your body can start to try to s...

As many of you know, I adore my dog, Tato. He's taught me a lot over the years about unconditional love, how to stop and literally smell the roses, and about boundaries.

 When Tato was 6 months old, we started taking him to puppy school to get some training. We learned early on that Tato gets overwhelmed easily and gets scared of other dogs. So what the trainers started to do when we arrived, is they wo...

When everything goes haywire in your life, what's your first impulse? Do you isolate yourself from your friends, family, and those who love you when your stress levels reach a critical point? 

Self isolating can feel like a wise strategy in the moment. When you disconnect from those around you, it can feel like it's protecting you from being in your body and how you feel. Connection brings sensatio...

After I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome around the age of 20, I dove deep into the holistic health world. I was not going to settle with the doctor's suggestion of just managing my stress and watching out for my triggers. 

 I discovered so many resources to support my digestion and feel more at ease when eating any meal. Herbs continued to support me after a big binge. This is why I've ...

I first started learning about the vagus nerve when I did research for my published thesis on how to cultivate a relationship with the gut brain.

The vagus nerve plays a role in hunger, satiation, cravings, taste buds, and digestion. So you can imagine that having a toned vagus nerve is highly important when you're trying to cultivate a peaceful and regulating relationship with food.

In this w...

I remember during my binge eating years that at times I would be like, "What is going onnnnn!?!?!"

Binge eating can be confusing and disorienting. It can at times be an out-of-body experience. Yet, sometimes, the emotions and sensations showing up in your body may feel like too much (I know at times they were for me) that you don't want to be IN your body. 

I often like to rename binge eating to ...

More and more adults in the U.S. are being diagnosed with adult ADHD. For many with adult ADHD, there is an overlap in struggling in their relationship with food. The impulsiveness that comes with ADHD can lead to binge eating or emotional eating behaviors and the time blindness can lead to restriction as a person forgets to eat which can spark the restrict-binge cycle. 

For some (not all), ADHD ca...

With my feeling word of 2024 being vulnerable, this will be one of the most vulnerable things I've put out since starting the Satiated Podcast. 

I often share stories of the distant past and rarely share what's currently going on in my life or what I'm navigating. Yet, it is my life experiences that have cultivated so much of my wisdom and so I'll be sharing what I've been going throug...

This holiday season, I've been offering the somatic resources I wish I'd had when I was healing my relationship with my food and body and one's that I've discovered along the way. 

Holidays had always brought up so much for me emotionally that I found myself binging or restricting to try to manage all of the emotions and sensations arising in my body. 

Think of the holidays as the Olympics...

What does the holiday season mean to you? What memories do you have around this time of year?

The holiday season can be associated with warmth, joy, and togetherness. However, when you've experienced past trauma with family or in the environment you grew up in, this time of year can be a source of stress, triggering your body's survival states. This can also be a time when you're face to face ...

As a kid, you couldn't get me to move. My mom tried to put me in dance and gymnastics and while I enjoyed both, neither stuck. I tried soccer and tennis. In soccer, I ended up kicking the ball to my best friend who was on the other team. In tennis, my favorite part was walking through the tunnels at the back of the indoor court. 

The joy of moving started to come in when I got into m...

I remember when I started to really slow down with my food. 

I would imagine where all the pieces of my meal came from to end up on my plate to support me in feeling vibrant in my body. I would picture the seed, the soil, the sun, the rain, and all of the people who tended to this food. It was an incredibly powerful experience. 

Consuming a meal present in your body can bring an immense joy in feeding your bo...

I have often found the days after Thanksgiving to be harder than the days leading up. 

The days leading up, you may have had an inner planner making all of these strategies for you about what you were or were not going to eat, how you were going to respond to different people, what you were going to practice differently this year.

Then, you go through the actual holiday. To quote Ram Dass, “If you think you are...

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, this is a time when food coping mechanisms can increase. 

Thanksgiving has become a Hallmark holiday of family peacefully gathering around a table to express their gratitude for each other while eating a beautifully cooked meal. 

When in reality, it can be filled with dysregulating conversation, overwhelming environments, and societally accepted binge eating.

I grew up with certain family members always making comments on other's appearance. I know very well how frustrating it can feel to constantly have your body talked about or be around people who talk about other's bodies as if this is a normal thing that we do. 

During the holiday season, receiving or hearing comments about what you’re eating or how you look can put your body into a fight, flight, fr...

There is a reason that processed foods can create a perceived sense of safety in your body. You can rely on processed foods. They’re consistent. They’re unwavering. They show up for you and taste exactly the same every. single. time. When you’ve experienced trauma, processed foods can provide you with short term security that you’re needing to feel like there’s some order in an uncontrollable world.

Halloween candy was so important to me from a young age that on my very first Halloween I fell asleep with my plastic pumpkin full of candy next to me. 

There can be so much emotionally connected to candy. There can be joyful memories, regulating experiences with friends, and pleasure from eating it.

And when you've been in a binge-restrict cycle, candy can bring up fear, anxiety, overwhelm, and even ter...

“WHO is choosing your food?” is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself when trying to cultivate an empowering and regulating relationship with food. Your internalized mother, father, siblings, family, teachers, culture can be choosing your food at any meal instead of your present day self. It’s important to get to know your internal voices to distinguish who is with you when you’re interact...

I'll be honest, this first episode back of the Satiated Podcast is going to be an edgy one. 

I chat with my dear friend Michelle Shapiro and we dive deep into, not only challenging diet culture but also anti-diet culture. 

I invited her back on the podcast because I kept seeing this divide happening that a person is either following the "rules" of diet culture or anti-diet culture. So when thos...
