Redefining "Health" and Decoding Symptoms as Body Communication with Tamar Samuels

Happy Satiated Saturday! Every semester in my undergraduate studies, I would receive all my coursework & experience a full-body panic. I would look at all that was due & some perfectionistic part of me thought I needed to hand in everything tomorrow. This typically led to a phone call to my mother who would say, "Stephanie, you eat an elephant a bite at a time."This would often remind me that when faced with big tasks, you can only make it to the end one step at a time. On a food recovery journey, there can be a desire to end binging or any food coping mechanism immediately. Yet, trying to eliminate your binging is too large of a step to take.You've got to look out for the action step that feels doable & manageable. There are countless smaller steps before addressing food's role as an emotional regulator. You can begin by finding the action that brings a sense of calm to your nervous system. That’s the first step on your path forward.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Tamar Samuels, registered dietitian nutritionist & the co-founder of Culina Health about: The gut brain connectionHow stress influences food behaviorsThe physical and emotional factors to healingRethinking food labelsUnderstanding nutritional researchBuilding your support teamNavigating health care with empowermentYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/redefining-health-and-decoding-symptomsHope you enjoy this episode and talk with you all next week!With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Tamar: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tamarsamuels.rd/https://www.instagram.com/culinahealth/Culina Health: https://culinahealth.com/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: [email protected] the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...
