from Bites & Body Love (v) · host Jamie Magdic

Even if every single one of us ate the same foods, in the same amounts, and moved our bodies the same way… we would STILL look different.And no....this isn’t an opinion. This is what decades of research show about human variability, genetics, metabolism, hormones, and the natural diversity of bodies.In this pod I break down:✨ Why body diversity is biologically normal✨ The “Poodle Science” metaphor and how it explains our cultural bias✨ Why thin bodies have become the default “standard,” and why that’s scientifically inaccurate✨ The REAL factors that influence weight and shape (genetics, hormones, metabolism, microbiome, trauma, meds, stress, and more)✨ Why “calories in/calories out” is incomplete and often misleadingIf you’ve ever wondered why your body doesn’t look like someone else’s… or felt like you were “doing everything right” and still not matching the standard...you’re not broken. You’re not failing.You’re simply not a poodle. And you were never supposed to be.Your body is meant to have its own natural range, and when you understand that, everything changes.If this resonates, you can explore more support, courses, and resources on healing your relationship with food and your body on my website.My website: https://www.jamiethedietitian.com/My Instagram: @jamieRD_✅ Apply to work with me: https://www.jamiethedietitian.com/application-page
