How Being Full and Being Satisfied are Two Different Things

November 22, 2021 15:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MB

Satisfaction is completely different than being full after a meal or snack. We can be full without being satisfied with a meal. It's not that every meal or snack needs to be a perfect mix of flavors and textures that touches our soul and leaves us feeling completely content and satisfied. However, there is a very good reason that Intuitive Eating includes a specific principle for honoring your hunger, feeling your fullness, AND discovering the satisfaction factor. As with so many things in ...

Recognizing and Monitoring Progress Without the Scale or Measurements

April 18, 2021 20:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MB

Two of the most common metrics used to evaluate the "success" or "progress" of someone on a journey to improve their health are the change in the scale and the number of inches/centimeters lost. However, these numbers don't tell you anything about what that person did to make these changes. Did they cut out all the foods they really enjoy for a 3 month period and get there via sheer willpower? Did their exercise regimen interfere with family time? Did they skip eating dinner with the rest o...

Body Image: The Importance of Our Language and Attitudes

March 21, 2021 21:00 - 59 minutes - 41 MB

What we think about our bodies and the bodies of others around us has a powerful impact on not only our emotional health but even our physical health. How? When we constantly evaluating our bodies and/or the bodies of others, we are more likely to try to change our bodies to try to measure up to some ideal standard dictated by society.

Exercise, Physical Activity, and Movement

March 06, 2021 19:00 - 45 minutes - 31.3 MB

Exercise is often seen as a tool for burning calories. While it does require energy as measured in kilocalories, there are so many other benefits! Diet culture has conditioned many of us to see exercise as a way to earn our food (especially "treats"), or to burn off food for a day/meal where we "cheated" or were "bad." This is extremely unfortunate because all movement brings tremendous benefits that have nothing to do with burning off food! Some of these include cardiovascular benefits, imp...

Avoiding Panic When Things Don't Go As You'd Hoped

January 18, 2021 03:00 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MB

In this episode, we discuss a common scenario. You're doing everything "right" but whatever measure of progress you're using doesn't seem to reflect your hard work. For many of us, that's the number on the scale. We have a tendency to react when things aren't progressing as we'd hoped by trying to make aggressive changes to the things we're doing. What are those aggressive changes? Often it's cutting out foods we love (fun foods) or aggressively restrict calories. Join us as we discuss this...

January 11, 2021 13:00 - 45 minutes - 31.6 MB

What is BMI and how should we interpret the number? What about percentiles on children's growth charts? Should your BMI score immediately give you cause for alarm? Should your child's location on the growth chart be a stern warning that they're headed for a life of obesity if something is not done? Often these numbers are erroneously used as a diagnostic tool without any or much consideration of the whole, individual person. Your BMI or percentile on the growth chart needs to be used approp...
