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

Ever feel like thoughts about food and your body take up way too much mental space? You're not alone. As a dietitian and body image specialist, I've been helping clients silence this exhausting mental chatter for a decade.Food noise—that constant mental loop analyzing what you've eaten, what you should eat, how it impacts your body, and whether you're "good" or "bad" because of it—isn't just annoying. It's stealing your peace, your relationships, your presence, and your joy. When your brain is constantly occupied with food math, rules, and shame spirals, you're physically present but mentally elsewhere.In this transformative episode, I break down what food noise really is, where it comes from, and its profound impact on your life. Diet culture, trauma, family messaging, restriction—these all plant weeds in our mental gardens that grow into overwhelming thought patterns. The irony? The more you try to control food through restriction and rules, the louder the noise becomes.But here's the life-changing truth: you can completely silence food noise. Not just reduce it by 75%—eliminate it entirely. Through awareness, ditching restriction, addressing root beliefs, and doing the necessary body image work alongside food healing, you can return to a clean slate where food is just food. Where you eat, enjoy, and move on without the mental gymnastics.My own journey from 24/7 food thoughts to complete food freedom proves this transformation is possible. Now I eat, trust my body, and focus my energy on what truly matters in life. This freedom isn't achieved overnight, but it's absolutely attainable with specialized support and commitment to the process.Ready to reclaim all the mental energy currently devoted to food and body obsessions? This episode is your first step toward silencing the noise for good. Your brain—and your life—deserve that peace.

Ever wondered why those fad diets never seem to stick? What if we told you that they can have detrimental impacts on both your body and mind? Yes, you heard it right! The allure of diets - the short-term 'gains' they offer - often blinds us to the long-term costs, such as the decrease in metabolic rate from drastic calorie restriction and nutrient depletion due to the elimination of entire food groups. We're going to expose these hidden health hazards, which include fatigue, weakened immune systems, and impaired cognitive function that can be the result of such dietary restrictions.But the harm of diets goes deeper than just the physical.

But fear not, we won't leave you in despair. We'll debunk some common diet myths and talk about starting the healing process. Our goal is to guide you towards building a relationship with food and your body that's free of stress and filled with confidence, joy, and peace.
