Nourishing Women Podcast

Social media has caused us to become obsessed with eating the right way. I wholeheartedly believe that social media is one of the main causes of our obsession with food, nutrition and wellness. And you may feel that you have to be obsessed with food in order to be healthy.

But there is a better way. In today’s episode I’m going to share 5 steps to overcome food (and wellness) obsession. Listen to today’s episode to learn those 5 steps!

If you missed this winter enrollment for Food & Body Peace Playbook, I want to let you know that it’s not too late to receive support, in fact we are currently open and taking March clients for private coaching at our practice.

Private coaching is the highest level of care we offer at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, and is certainly the fastest way to reach your goals of food and body peace, leaving food (and wellness) obsession behind in 2023.

You may know that we offer 3 and 6 month packages for private coaching, but you may not know that we also offer breakthrough sessions.

These are individual 75 minute sessions where you can meet with one of the dietitians at NMN, and create an individualized plan based off your history and goals. These breakthrough sessions are a perfect fit if you just want a single meeting to get you on the right track, OR if you are interested in a 3 or 6 month package, but want to feel out what a coaching session feels like before moving on to a package.

As I shared in last week’s podcast episode, which detailed through what is binge eating and the difference between binge eating disorder and being someone who experiences binge eating as part of their body’s response to dieting, I wanted to give you some more concrete examples of how to stop binge eating for good. 

In today’s episode, I share 5 steps to stop binge eating, and give you next steps to take so that you can experience peace with food and your body. Listen to learn more!

Here are some statistics you may have not known about binge eating:

• Binge eating disorder is more than three times more common than anorexia and bulimia combined.

• Research estimates that only  28.4% of people with current BED are receiving treatment for their disorder
• And also… Three out of ten individuals looking for weight loss treatments show signs of BED.

I wanted to record this episode because I feel like binge eating has become a term thrown out a lot, often used by people to emphasize how much they ate. Some of these people have BED, some of them experience episodes of binge eating and some do not binge eating in any way, it’s more so used to emphasize that they ate more than their norm or more than they are comfortable with.

Listen to today’s episode to learn more about what exactly is binge eaitng. And next week we will dig in even more with 5 steps to stop binge eating!

And if you are someone who is currently struggling with the diet-binge cycle or food obsession, I want you to know you deserve support and healing now.

And I’d love to invite you to join our winter cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook to get you that support and healing.

My fellow recovering perfectionists, you are going to love today’s conversation, with guest Kara Loewentheil, about how to truly create self confidence by rewiring your brain and thoughts, and letting go of perfectionist fantasies around New Year's resolutions.

Kara Loewentheil, J.D., is a Master Certified Coach, Host of the top-rated podcast UnF*ck Your Brain, and creator of The Clutch: A feminist mindset revolution. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she did what every Ivy League feminist lawyer should do: Quit a prestigious academic career to become a life coach! Her Jewish parents have almost recovered; the fact that she built her business from zero to seven figures in three years didn't hurt. Five years after leaving the law she has taught thousands of women how to identify the ways that sexist socialization impacts their brains, and how to literally rewire their thought patterns to create true authentic confidence from within.

In this episode we discuss:

• Kara’s journey from lawyer to becoming a master certified coach and starting her own business, podcast and coaching community.
• How thoughts create our feelings and impact our actions, and how to use the thought ladder to positively change this.
• New Year’s Resolutions: Are they good goals or perfectionist fantasies?
• Three “women’s empowerment” sayings that actually do a disservice for us in truly being empowered as women.
• What it truly takes to accept and love your body at any size.
• How to work towards neutral beliefs about your body to help change your body image.
• Kara shares about her amazing podcast, U****k Your Brain, and her coaching community, the Clutch.
• How Kara practices wellness without obsession.

Since I know this is a time of year that our clients really struggle with food guilt, trying to avoid all the holiday food but then end up eating all the Christmas cookies when no one is around, I wanted to help you through these unique challenges.

I think we can all agree that there’s more “off limits food” around this time of the year more than any other time. And maybe it’s the prolonged time frame that messes with us too- from Halloween to New Years, this tends to be a time where people feel like there’s no point to “try” so they give up on their diets or eating healthy with the resolve that they will just start over in the New Year.

But this mindset is caused from the all or nothing mentality. So in today’s episode I explain what exactly is the all or nothing mentality, different ways it shows up in our relationship with food, especially during the holiday season, and two easy ways to challenge it over the next month.

If you are ready to let go of the all or nothing mentality around food, to make peace with your body and discover health that promotes physical and mental well-being, you can join our winter cohort of Food & Body Peace Playbook. By doing so, you’ll feel confident that you are entering into the New Year with a plan for how to transform your relationship with food and your body, so that you are unrecognizable this time next year. Standard and VIP options available this round!

If you are interested in private coaching, the holiday season and beginning of the New Year is always a busy time of the year for our practice. If you’re looking to receive the highest level of care we offer at NMN, reach out now to guarantee you can get started before March of 2023.

Are seed oils REALLY inflammatory? If you are just the slightest bit interested in health, wanting to eat to feel your best, you must have had this thought before, haven’t you?

In today’s episode, I hope to clear some of the air and give you an honest perspective.

When discussing these oils, we are talking about Canola (rapeseed), corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, rice bran, safflower, soy, and sunflower oils. These are what’s called “the hateful “ by some, Even if you don’t purchase these oils and cook with them at home, other places you may possibly consume them are when eating out (restaurants, fast food, pre-made food from stores) or packaged foods and snacks and some baked goods. 

Seed oils have a mix of unsaturated and saturated fats and a mix of Omega 6s and Omega 3s. Overall, they fall into the category of polyunsaturated and they are higher in Omega 6s than saturated fats. 

Will talk about the claims about seed oils in this episode, and whether or not they are true. Listen to today’s episode to learn more!

If you’re interested in gut health, you likely have seen on social media the crazy amount of information you “should” do to heal your health. Eating the right foods, avoiding inflammatory foods, taking a million supplements and more, it seems like the list of things you should do is never ending! I asked gut health and eating disorder expert, Marci Evans, to come on the show to help you understand how malnourishment plays a role in your gut health, and why recovery is the answer most of the time.

Marci identifies as a Food and Body Imager Healer® practicing from a weight inclusive and anti-oppression lens. She has dedicated her career to counseling, supervising, and teaching in the field of eating disorders. She is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian and Supervisor and certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. In addition to her group private practice, Marci launched an online eating disorders training platform for clinicians in 2015 and co-directs a specialized eating disorder internship at Simmons University. In 2018 she received the Professional Integrity Award from The Behavioral Health Dietetics Practice Group of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She has spoken locally and nationally at numerous conferences and media outlets. She regularly communicates on social media so be sure to connect with her @marciRD.

In this episode we discuss:

• What ignited Marci’s passion for eating disorders.
• The four main reasons digestive issues are so common in the eating disorder population.
• How the gut brain axis influences how people feel in their bodies, and how they experience their digestive symptoms.
• How the gut microbiome is impacted by eating disorders and malnourishment.
• Why it’s so important to only give recommendations based off the actual gut health research we have available (aka why you shouldn’t follow the advice you hear on TikTok).
• How Marci lives wellness without obsession.

Picture this: The day is Halloween. You wake up excited because you cannot wait to enjoy the fun celebration of dressing up and eating candy and watching your children do the same.

You spend the day prepping for Halloween, getting costumes ready, carving pumpkins, prepping the candy and enjoying the candy like my favorites- sour patch kids and Kit Kats, Halloween themed sweets and candy corn throughout the day.

You go trick or treating with your kids, you are SO present with them, smiling and laughing and bursting with joy watching them get so excited to go to each house, knock on the door and yell, trick or treat!

Today on the show I’m honored to have Leehe Negri on the show to share with you the role a therapist plays in eating disorder recovery, how Leehe helps her clients identify diet culture in their lives and how a dietitian and therapist can complement each other in helping their clients thrive.

Leehe is a licensed mental health counselor, located in Boca Raton, FL. She works with adults with a broad spectrum of diagnoses and struggles. Leehe specializes in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) for depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder; EMDR trauma therapy for PTSD and other trauma-related struggles; and Intuitive Eating for eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues. She works with individuals, couples, and families, and provides services in English and Hebrew. 

Leehe's main objective is to guide her clients in cultivating self-empowerment, wisdom, and liberation. She carefully attends to each client by implementing interventions that are uniquely targeted for his, her, or their background and goals. Leehe guides her clients in becoming their own therapists, as they learn how to master effective coping strategies and life-changing insight on their own. She creates a therapeutic environment, in which her clients feel safe, heard, and understood, while guiding them through the journey of discovering their authentic self.

In this episode we discuss:

• Leehe explains who she is and what exactly is a psychotherapist.
• What inspired Leehe to focus on eating disorder recovery to better help her clients.
• How to identify red flags in your relationship with food and body.
• Psychological components that influence the development of eating disorders and disordered eating. 
• How Leehe lives wellness without obsession.
