I’ve always been a fan of acupuncture. I think it’s fascinating to think the same acupuncture points have been used for thousands of years. This traditional method of medicine is a great option for those looking for additional routes to help heal! It can also be a great option for fertility, period resumption and healing heal hormonal imbalances. I had the pleasure of having licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, Aimee Raupp, on the show to share the science behind why acupuncture works.

In the past dieting was, for the most part, about villainizing just a particular macronutrient, like carbs or fat, or villainizing calories in general. These days, you can find a reason on the internet to villainize literally any food out there. No wonder we are so confused about what to eat! Listen to today's podcast episode to learn what an all foods fit mentality means, how to remove fear around it and how to navigate health conditions and a medical need to eliminate foods with intuitive eating.

In our current world, the diet culture infused health and wellness one- we are told the only way to be healthy is to eat a very rigid way. And when you hear about intuitive eating...You fear that vegetables and all the foods you force yourself to eat to maintain your "healthy identity" will become foods you never eat again. In fact all your behaviors  you’re scared you’ll never do again. Listen to today's episode to learn why intuitive eating is NOT anti-health!

As we have been hosting our free workshops, Food Obsession to Food Flexibility, one of the #1 questions you’ve had is...well, what will happen to my weight? And that fear is ultimately because you’re worried not only about your own fears, but also what people will think about you gaining weight. But, here's the thing...This is your life. Your body. Your food liberation journey. Listen to today's podcast episode to learn how to navigate this!

In today’s podcast episode, with guest Emilie Hebert, we discuss whether or not eating vegan and intuitive eating can coexist. This episode may be one of my favorites to date! If you’ve been wondering if you can eat intuitively as a vegan or vegetarian or with food restrictions such as an allergy or health condition that requires elimination of food, this episode was made for you!

You know in order to embrace intuitive eating, you’re gonna have to end the fight between you and your body, make peace with and give yourself unconditional permission to eat. But that’s also what makes this work incredibly challenging, overwhelming and frustrating! That’s why my team and I have created our first ever online course, Permission Stage Playbook. Listen to this bonus episode to learn more!

Let me guess...I’ve caught your ear on the fact that diets don’t work and YES your clean eating programs, switching from whole 30 to keto to vegan for weight loss to eliminating gluten without medical need to a juice cleanse...is just another form of dieting. You've heard me talk at length about intuitive eating, but actually giving yourself the unconditional permission to eat is SO HARD...Listen to today's episode to learn my 3 top tips to embrace unconditional permission to eat in your life!

Have you ever wondered how the language used on the food products we purchase affect how we think and view the food? Today’s episode, with guest and fellow non-diet dietitian, Brenna O’Malley (@thewellful) explores how food marketing and social media influences our personal views of food, our eating habits and how this all ultimately impacts our own relationship with food. Don’t forget to sign up for my FREE workshop, the Food Obsession to Food Flexibility workshop is coming to you NEXT WEEK.

One of the reasons I believe it's hard to let go of the food obsession and more towards intuitive eating, making peace with your body and food flexibility is...that in our world we often get labeled as the “healthy one”. In today’s episode I’m exploring why this is so hard, my own personal experience with redefining my identity and how to know if it’s time for you to do the same. Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a very special announcement!

Oh, the ways intuitive eating benefits your life! It is about the eating, but it also about SO much more. Today on the podcast we have Heather Caplan, fellow non-diet dietitian, to share her journey to intuitive eating and how what she learned from becoming an intuitive eater benefited so many areas of her life. From how she moves her body, to how she runs her business and even how she feeds and parents her child- intuitive eating has positively impacted each of these areas.

My favorite principle and what I would argue is the MOST important principle of intuitive eating is (drumroll please!)...Discover the satisfaction factor. Discovering the satisfaction factor is the hub of all Intuitive Eating principles. In this episode I share why that is, and the reasons it is so important including attunement into your body, a true all foods fit mentality, pleasure as a health value and mental satiety.

One of my favorite authors, Rebecca Scritchfield, author of Body Kindness is on the podcast today. Body Kindness is such a great representation of pursuing intuitive eating and health and wellness for authentic intentions and a positive, self loving mindset. Body Kindness encompasses so many beliefs we have at Nourishing Women Podcast  and is a critical part of wellness without obsession.
