Ep 87 How to Reduce Your Physical Pain without Weight Loss as a Requirement | Danny Schapiro, PT
You may have been led to believe that increased weight is the cause of increased pain. You repeat to yourself what you may have been often told by others and even medical professionals: “If I could only lose weight, then I would be pain-free. It’s my fault and I can change this by just losing the weight if I try hard enough.”    But is that really the truth?   We dive into this struggle in today’s podcast episode with former ballroom dance champion and Physical Therapist Danny Schapiro.    Danny focuses on helping everyBODY move and feel good, no matter their size. Because everyone’s body is different and all bodies deserve to feel better and move without pain. It’s not about the size of the person, but about how they are moving and he shares actionable tips on how you can do just that starting right now, not X pounds from now!!    Danny joins us to share the “connection” between pain and weight, the reasons you should ask “why” when seeing a medical professional, and the importance of focusing on what is happening inside the body instead of what size the body is. In this episode we cover:  [3:30] The connection between the mechanics of movement and how they are (or are not) influenced by weight [12:45] Simple movement changes that can help with knee pain [15:00] How to know that joint pain is not connected to the mechanics of movement [22:02] Common Physical Therapy modifications that can be done to help accommodate larger bodies [32:12] Danny’s advice on how to advocate for yourself in a health care setting and red flags that should send you looking for a new provider [47:05] Danny’s final advice on being an investigator of your own health

Ep 86 Understanding Your Child’s Growth Pattern & Navigating Weight Comments at the Doctor’s Office with Riley Peterson RDN
Many of our interactions and experiences in childhood contribute to the body image we have as adults. In today’s episode, Pediatric Registered Dietitian Riley Peterson joins us to share her advice on raising body-positive kids.

Ep 85 Intuitive Eating for Beginners
How many times have you mentioned “Intuitive Eating” and the response was “that doesn’t work for me! I’d just eat cakes and cookies all day. No thanks!”? Or maybe you’re reading this as a newbie to IE feeling like it just doesn’t add up to living a healthy life…  Whichever it is, this is a common response - and misconception! - from anyone who doesn’t actually understand what Intuitive Eating is! Which is a shame because that means they are potentially missing out on something that can be incredibly life changing in the most amazing and meaningful way!  I’m hoping this long overdue episode will change that.  Today, I’m discussing what Intuitive Eating is for anyone who is just hearing about it for the very first time or doesn’t fully understand it and is open to learning more.  I’m sharing the foundational blocks of Intuitive Eating (that go beyond one social media post), starting with what it means and where did the term first start. I review each of the 10 principles that make up the Intuitive Eating framework. Understanding these 10 principles is key to seeing how nuanced IE really is.  If you’re new to intuitive eating and food freedom, I share some red flags to help you recognize someone’s awareness and expertise on the subject as far as Intuitive Eating is concerned. Lastly, I share tips for you if you’re just taking your very first steps into your own intuitive eating journey.  Whether you’re a complete newbie or you’ve already been on your own intuitive eating journey for a while, this episode is an excellent reminder of the foundational blocks of Intuitive #ating and what it REALLY requires to find food freedom, body peace, and a healthy happy life. In this episode, we cover: [3:36] What is intuitive eating and where did it first start? [7:33] The 10 principles of the intuitive eating framework [25:19] Why intuitive eating is not a linear journey [26:18] Recognizing red flags when intuitive eating is concerned [33:53] How and where to get started with intuitive eating   Rachel’s Resources:   Follow Rachel on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.rachelgoodman/ Are you a Food Freedom Professional seeking to boost her coaching confidence with clients using the Intuitive Eating approach?

Ep 72 Your Best Self is NOT Your Thinnest Self
We are getting close to 2022, and you know what that means. Diet culture is on full blast! As New Year’s inches closer it seems that everyone and their mother is focused on changing their eating habits and their bodies after the holidays “damage”.    The New Year presents the opportunity for people to jump on the diet bandwagon with the belief that they are changing their life for the better but in reality, it’s just another way diet culture tempts us into feeling inadequate.    In this solo episode, I am talking about why it’s time you reevaluate your New Year’s goals and why the real message of New Year’s “body goals” is that your thinnest self is the best version of yourself when that isn’t true!! I also explain why focusing on weight loss can pull you further away from living your best life and what to focus on instead that will allow you to be the best, happiest and healthiest version of yourself.     In this episode, we cover: [2:33] The real message of New Year’s body goals and how it actually erodes your self-esteem and self-worth. [6:06] Your thinnest self is not your best self. Learn how to show up for yourself in ways that will actually serve you, your life, and your health [12:06] Validation of leading your best life is not dependent on body size. New Year’s is just another day - you always have a clean slate every day of every year. [17:49] Choosing a different approach going into the New Year when it comes to living as your best self.    Links Mentioned:    Follow Rachel on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.rachelgoodman/    Ready to break free of food rules and find food freedom + body peace?

Ep 70 What It Really Means When You Feel Bad about Your Body - and How to Feel Better Faster!
I know that this time of year can be so triggering to so many people with how they feel about their bodies. When it comes to the holiday season, the foods, the people, the advertisements, and the diet culture marketing can be overwhelming and make you feel bad about yourself (and it’s totally understandable).     If this is you and you're feeling kind of mediocre in your body, this is the episode for you. In today’s episode, I discuss the difference between feeling bad in your body and about your body because that is so key to really helping address the core struggle that is happening here during this time of the year. When we get to the core of this feeling, we learn to not use a scapegoating method of coping and actually practice solutions that don't self-sabotage our own mental and physical well-being.    In this episode, we cover: [2:39] What does feeling bad IN your body versus feeling bad ABOUT your body look like? [6:19] What changes you can implement in your life to get to the core of why you’re feeling bad in your body [12:06] Hormones and other external factors can impact how we feel about our body size and what you can actually do about it [17:22] When you feel bad about your body size, rather than tear apart your body image, I share what you should focus on instead [24:05] The importance of separating how you feel about your body and how you feel in your body to the actual external circumstances that triggered it Links Mentioned:   My IG https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.rachelgoodman/    Apply for 1:1 : bit.ly/coachingwithrachel    Free opt in https://rachelgoodmanrd.kartra.com/page/7NG39    Podcast episode with Dr Jordan: https://rachelgoodnutrition.com/ep-67-what-every-women-should-know-about-peri-menopause-and-menopause-with-dr-jordan-robertson-nd/

Intuitive eating may be self-explanatory to some but how can you tell the difference between intuitive eating and impulsive eating?   When it comes to intuitive eating, there needs to be a connection between pausing and understanding what it means to eat in line with what your body wants, and then consider when it feels chaotic and out of touch with what your body actually needs.     In today’s episode, I discuss how to recognize the signs between intuitive eating and when eating becomes impulsive and chaotic. I share tools you can implement today to stop impulsive eating and begin thinking from an intuitive eating lens.   In this episode, we cover: [3:56] The differences between intuitive eating and compulsive eating [6:12] Ways to work through impulsive eating so that you can work your way to being an intuitive eater [10:18] Learning to build up your impulse control skills and training your brain to pause and think before taking action [15:58] How these skills can apply to using eating as an emotional coping mechanism [20:27] Why intuitive eating is possible for anyone and the role awareness plays in understanding why impulsive eating may be occurring   Rachel's Resources:   My IG https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.rachelgoodman/    Apply for 1:1 bit.ly/coachingwithrachel     Free opt in https://rachelgoodmanrd.kartra.com/page/7NG39

The holiday season is a time when diet culture ramp ups and can be difficult to navigate as an intuitive eater. If you aren’t sure how to handle triggering conversations around food and weight or feel nervous to set boundaries with friends and family, this episode is for you.      In today’s episode, I’m talking to Kirsten Ackerman, an Anti-Diet Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.
