{ep. 068} in the thick of eating disorder ...

In this episode I talk Shira Rosenbluth, a social worker/therapist by day and a style blogger by night, known for her blog “A Sequin Love Affair.”  Her blog encourages having fun and dressing in a way that reflects who you are, regardless of budget or body size. The blog also chronicles Shira’s recovery from an eating disorder; this is something that she wasn’t always open about. In this interview, Shira shares why it was important for her, as a therapist, to disclose that she is still in recovery. She also discusses the nuances of being both a fashion blogger, who shares photos of her body, and a health-at-every-size advocate, who believes everyone is more than their body. Further, she shares the many barriers she has faced with access to treatment, and describes that obstacles that many individuals face while trying to pursue recovery.

{ep. 067} Perfectionism and Grief with Simi ...

In this episode I talk to Simi Botic, health coach and Author of Letting Go of Leo: How I Broke Up with Perfection. We talk about Simi’s relationship with perfectionism and how that bled into her relationship with food and her body. What I love so much about this episode is that we talk so much about what breaking up with perfection (especially around food) can do for your whole life, not just how you feel about your food and your body. Simi talks about how she ultimately changed her whole career trajectory and how we both felt like we were both able to be present for the highs and the lows without the burden of food worry.

In this episode I talk to RD to be Kimmie Singh about her dietetic internship experience, weight stigma in the healthcare field, how medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and Health at Every Size (HAES) are aligned, and how Intuitive Eating is still possible, even if you have PCOS with insulin resistance! This episode is definitely geared towards RDs, but if you’re not an RD or healthcare provider don’t turn away too quickly - I think everyone can benefit from listening to this conversation.

Let's Talk About Poop

, ,

Yes. I’m serious. If you would have told me when I was 5 that my career would involve so much talking about poop, I’d of called ya crazy. But it’s true. I talk about it A LOT. And my 5-year old self is pretty excited about it.

Why? Because by paying attention to whats coming out of our bodies can actually tell us a lot about what to put in our bodies to begin the healing process and regulate your metabolism.

So to start let me say this: You should be pooping about every single day.

Now let’s face it - if you’re not pooping everyday you’re probably feeling bloated, tired, and blah. So if this is you - it's time to click play and watch this week's #MeetUpMonday where I share 5 things you need to start incorporating MORE of into your life to get your daily doo.

Below is chart that is used frequently in hospitals to record people’s bowel movements… their poops. Dr. Mercola calls Type 4 The “holy grail” of poop. It should be smooth and soft and pass easily!

You may have found that your poop patterns will change if you’re experiencing stress, lack of sleep, or traveling. You have to do a bit of trial and error to figure out what works best for you. As always you know I’m here for you! I love talking about poop so if you feel you need a little more one-one guidance, let's work together!

Thanks for meeting up. See you next week!
