The Culture Wars That Are Undermining Your Eating Recovery with Dr. David Wiss
There is a lack of nuance in the field of food and body image recovery. You have one side that tells you that you need to eat all foods, all foods fit, and that you need to keep eating all foods to habituate to them so that you're not as drawn to them anymore. And then you have the other side…

Heal Binge Eating and Body Image Struggles with Internal Family Systems with Megan Darnell
If you've been here for a while, you may have noticed that I'm a big fan of parts work. Knowing what part of you is telling you to eat, not eat, eat something specific can be empowering. Rather than feeling like you're lacking willpower or out of control, you can start to understand your food...

How Embodiment Heals Attachment Wounds and Creates Secure Relationships with Orit Krug
Something I have seen over the years is that how you relate to one thing is often how you relate to everything. So the relational wounds you experienced in childhood can also show up with food. This is why I feel it is crucial to understand your attachment or relational traumas so you can better...

Restrictive Diets Are Traumatic and a Response To Trauma
If someone had told me the truth that going on Weight Watchers at 13 years old would lead to a lack of trust in your body, obsession with food for years to come, an intense fear of food and anxiety around what to eat, and a decade in the restrict-binge cycle, I’m curious if my smart little self...

Interoception: Get To Know Your Body's Internal Dashboard For Better Regulation with Alyssa Chang
About a year ago in one of my PhD classes, I voiced a huge gripe I had about somatic and nervous system practices. I shared that my friction with them was that they have been stripped down and depersonalized into these practices that anyone can do at any time and will support everyone in any…

How Embracing Rage Fuels Body Liberation and Heals Diet Trauma with Paula D. Atkinson
One underdiscussed aspect of a body image or food recovery adventure is the importance of rage. What can occur is that all the anger that might be felt about how you were treated in the past gets turned in on your body. Your body becomes the focus of all your rage rather than on a culture that…

Use These Somatic Tools During and After Tough Times with Laurie James
You may have picked this up by now about how passionate I am about the field of somatic psychology. Learning about how to experience my body on all levels and build awareness of my nervous system states felt like it was learning how to come home to myself. I have often joked that many people who...

Rebuilding Body Trust After Decades of Dieting with Amber Caudle
Your history with food and dieting didn't start with you. You saw your mothers or fathers diet and their grandparents also dieted and their grandparents also dieted. There is a long history of diet culture passed down from generation to generation and expressed differently in the trendiest, most...

How The Five Tastes Calm or Energize Your Nervous System with Michelle Brown
Something I learned from diet culture was that the taste of sweet was "bad." If I craved sweetness then something must be out of balance. There was probably a period of time where craving sweetness sent me into a panic where I had to become a detective to understand why I wanted something sweet....

Reading Reddit Stories: Body Image Edition
It is difficult to talk about food without talking about body image. The two are intertwined. For many of you, it was your body's appearance that started the dieting, restricting, and binge eating. It was the internalized messages from a culture that wants to control women's bodies that shaped…

Game Changing Body Based Strategies for Binge Eating Recovery with Dr. Kristina Dobyns
This is actually a pretty wild story. During my first year in my PhD, a woman reached out to me through the contact form on my website and was like, "Hey, we're doing similar work! I would love to connect." I starred the email as something I needed to follow up on and then it got completely…

4 Teens On A Mission To Revolutionize Teen Health with The Holistic Kids
As many of you know, I went on my first diet when I was 13 years old. It was Weight Watchers and it shifted how I viewed my body for a decade. I saw it as something weak and that I could control. It would take years of nutritional, mind, and body studies to realize my body was never the enemy I…

Breaking Free from Diet Culture Toward Body Liberation with Savala Nolan
Diets teach us to view the body as a project. You can tinker with what you're eating and transform your body into something different. Then fitness culture doubles down and provides the message that you can shape your body to be whatever you want it to be, you just have to put up with messages…

What Self Love Really Is And How To Embody It Every Day with Lulu Essey
I have often felt like talking about self love can feel frustrating and confusion. What does loving oneself actually mean and look like? Early in my twenties, I think I thought self love looked and felt like self discipline. I went to yoga and meditated almost every day, I was strict with myself…

Regulate Your Nervous System, Reframe Your Reflection: A Guide to Somatic Body Image Healing
I've been through a similar trajectory that so many have in food and body image recovery. In my twenties, I got to a place where food was less of a concern.

Breakthrough Food Recovery Stuckness With Psychedelics and Movement with Francesca Annenberg
My current perspective on eating disorders is that labeling food behaviors as a disorder has kept the field of food recovery distracted, continuing to focus on that food is the problem. Patterns of binge eating, restriction, yo yo dieting, food noise, and body image struggles need to be…

How a Feldenkrais Practice Can Improve Body Image and Relationship with Food with Beverly Atkins
I have a saying, Embody first, Examine later. When you're feeling like you're drowning in body image concerns or food impulses, your prefrontal cortex is shut down. This is the part of your brain where you rationalize and can think through what is going on. When that part of your brain is...

How to Use Food Cravings as Feedback of Your Nervous System States with Luis Mojica
Since my time in graduate school for somatic psychotherapy, I have shared with anyone who would listen about the connection between somatics and nutrition. It has felt absurd to me that food was never talked about in my somatic studies. In my PhD interview, I passionately shared that I believe...

Busting Detox Myths and Revealing Wellness Realities with Michele Scarlet
When I first entered into the world of wellness culture, I was swept up in the promise of health, vibrancy, and fixing every symptom I had and could ever have. I did the detoxes, the cleanses, the supplements, the colonics, the detox foot baths, the energy work, and the elimination diets. Now, if...

You Are Not Your Body…Or Are You? A Missing Piece in Food and Body Image Recovery
The statement, “You are not your body,” needs some somatic updating. This statement, which has been said countless of times to try to decrease body image struggles, actually guides you in detaching from the body, further causing separation from safely inhabiting the body. René Descartes’ “I…

Get Unstuck From a Sympathetic State and Increase Energy with Dr. Scott Sherr
Once I started to connect the dots that the sympathetic nervous system plays a prominent role in food impulses and behaviors, I began teaching everyone I work with how to identify when their sympathetic nervous system is activated. This isn't something we're often taught as a kid and would be a...

Reading Reddit Stories: Binge Eating Edition
As I was editing this week's podcast episode, I accidentally deleted half of it and thought it was gone forever. At first, my heart sank, I was in shock, the blood drained from my face, and I literally said out loud, "Nooooooo!!!" I was ready to call it and my brain started quickly going through…

Making Empowered Food Choices Beyond Diet Culture with Bonnie Roney
Something I've noticed in food recovery is that certain foods and meals become associated with dieting. Suddenly, you're afraid or feeling resistance to eating certain vegetables or fruits because these foods have been somatically connected to deprivation and restriction. Your body tenses, your...

Simplifying Nutrition and Movement For Enhanced Wellness with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer
Diets can be a reminder of what no can feel like. The issue occurs that over time a no somatically gets connected with deprivation and restriction. So when you really don’t want to eat something, a no sends your body into a survival response. It can feel like you’re not allowed to say no because...

Reading Reddit Stories: Body Image Edition
Every Saturday, my husband and I listen to a podcast that reads Reddit stories. For a long time, I have wanted to do something similar but with a focus on food and body image behaviors. I even set up a whole form for people to send in questions, but I got very few responses. So I decided to move...

Bioindividual Approach to Nutrition for Neurodiversity and ADHD with Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas
Over the past few years, I've become more interested in neurodiversity. I've had more people come to work with me navigating being on the ADHD or autism spectrums and telling me that intuitive eating didn't work for them. I saw that many of the bodily changes that can occur as a response to…

How To Choose Foods Based On Your Body's Constitution with Dr. Shivani Gupta
Digestion and cravings can all start in your nervous system. Food decisions made from a stressed, sympathetic nervous system state will lead you to specific foods for your survival. You then struggle to digest those foods, not because there is something “wrong” with the food or your gut, but...
-
Uncomplicating Wellness and Redefining Personal Wellness with Jenn Trepeck
Wellness culture teaches you how to NOT feel enough. It is never enough biohacking, protein, red light therapy, organic, sprouted, activated, pure, lectin free food. Feeling like you’re never going to get it “right” does not create wellness. What creates "wellness" are things that cannot be...

Unraveling the Hidden Energetic Effects of Generational Trauma with Shannon Salge
When the focus is always on finding a root cause, it keeps you looking for the next answer and the next answer and the next answer to your food issues. This can keep you stuck in a survival response. This constant searching sends signals of danger to the body that something is wrong, and it has…

The Death of New Year's Resolutions and What To Replace It With
I wanted to approach the transition into a new year differently. For the past couple of years, I felt like it was more somatically aligned to explore a feeling word for the year rather than resolutions. This feeling word could then be a guiding light throughout the year toward actions or food or...

When Holiday Leftovers Feel Like a Threat

The Power of Finding and Trusting Your Inner Voice with Jeanie Manchester
One of the aspects of food recovery I wished that I had greater guidance around (and had to learn for myself) was discovering how to listen to my body. Even within different food recovery approaches, there are still all of these rules about what to eat to "prove" recovery or what to do to ensure...

Why Your Food Behaviors Are NOT the Problem. Here's the Real Culprit...
The number one question I often get asked in sessions is, "What is the somatic practice I should be doing to calm myself down?" Somatic and nervous system work has been completely misconstrued and misrepresented, and I get why. If all you're seeing on social media is a list of suggestions on...

Revolutionize your Health Through Learning Self Leadership with Courtney Townley
We were all taught how to eat and move and exist in our bodies. The “shoulds” that you learn from your parents, diet/wellness/fitness culture, magazines, media, movies, family and friends can keep your nervous system stuck in a sympathetic response. When you live in chronic stress or survival...

Why Learning To Be With Grief is Crucial for Trauma Recovery with Syanna Wand
I remember the very slow realization as I started to embody my binges that food was never going to give me what I was looking for. It felt crushing to face. I'd been utilizing food as a way to try to help myself feel better, safer, more grounded and I felt so much grief that this strategy was...

How Food Choices Can Remind Your Body How To Feel Safe
I've been reflecting recently on how much I talk here about the reasons food behaviors like binge eating have nothing to do with the food, but the state you're eating the food in. As I've explored here many times, there are so many somatic, trauma, and nervous system layers to your food patterns....

How Trauma Alters Your Sense of Self and Eating Habit

Navigating the Complexities of Body Image in a GLP-1 Era with Anna Sweeney
