The Balanced Dietitian Podcast Marie-Pier Pitre-D‘Iorio, RD, B.Sc.Psychology

Welcome back to the Balanced Dietitian podcast.
I celebrated my birthday last week and I ended up taking the whole week off to celebrate! Growing up in a big household meant our house was always busy, so now that I’m a bit older, my birthday is an opportunity for me to spend the day doing things that I like, things that nurture my soul, and things that are fun and joyful; which meant getting out in nature this year. I get all of my best inspiration when I'm out in nature and connecting with myself, and I came back feeling  inspired and excited to talk to you about the idea of having a Nutrition Foundation. It's something that can be a bit misunderstood when it comes to being anti-diet, so we’re diving into it on the podcast this week.
 
IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:
Myths surrounding the anti-diet
The importance of nutrition in the anti-diet
The step by step approach to building nutrition foundation
What is on our plate 
Intuitive Eating

Hey everybody. Welcome back to the Balanced Dietician podcast. I’ve been feeling good the last few weeks! I always kind of forget how my mental health is impacted by winter until we get into spring again. Every spring I just feel like a different person.
It's really interesting because most folks who do the healing journey, to have a better relationship with food and their body, will experience something similar. When you have a not-so-good relationship with food, we kind of know it's not great, but we don't realize how bad it actually is until you've healed. When we can look back and just realize how things used to be, we realize how far we've actually come; pretty cool, right?
For most of us, our relationship with food wasn’t always bad. It started to get tricky we were trying to manipulate food in order to change our body. Body image is often the source of our food relationship issues.
So if we do the work to heal our relationship with food, but we don't do the body image work, it feels kind of like a bandaid solution; we're not doing the deep work that started the problem.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:
The body positivity movement
The body image spectrum:Body respect, Body trust, Body neutrality, Body appreciation, Body confidence, Body acceptance, Body liberation

Welcome back to the Balanced Dietitian Podcast; The place where we talk about all things, food, body, mind, and the anti-diet.
When I started to diet, I didn’t know the consequences of dieting. I didn’t know what would happen to my body, and to my mind. I didn’t know, because I was not informed properly. I was told that dieting was gonna make all my dreams come true and that I was gonna feel so good, and that's not actually what happened.
Do you know what actually happens to our bodies when you diet? Why does our body not like dieting? What can actually happen when you diet?
I believe in body autonomy. We can all do what we're meant to do and what feels best for us, but I also believe in informed decisions.
So today, I encourage you to get informed on the hidden costs of diets so that you can make the best decision for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
The PROBLEM and the SOLUTION that diet culture has created
Diets were designed as a short term solution
How diets affect our Hormones
Other bodily changes brought on by diets 
Weight is the least important part of us BUT it is a part of diet culture you need to know about

Welcome back to the Balanced Dietitian Podcast! I’m so happy that you are here with me today.




How are you doing, my friend? How are we feeling today? I was a little under the weather on this week’s podcast but I had to record this episode because it’s an important conversation!




We’ve made it to the end of April and the end of this Canadian winter. It’s starting to actually feel like spring now and slowly moving towards the summertime, which is really exciting. I know that this transition, period can often be difficult when we are healing our relationship with food and our body. There’s a little bit more emphasis on bodies over the summertime, so I invite you to take a moment and just check in with yourself about how we’re feeling about this new transition into summer. What thoughts do we have around food in our body as summertime is coming along?




Wherever you are in your healing journey, I invite you to check in with yourself on how we are feeling about it and join me today for a a conversation about food psychology.




In this episode, we discuss:

Nourishing our body to feel good is important but HOW we eat is equally important
How we feel about our relationship with food
Feeling disempowered in our relationship with food

How many times have you found yourself sitting on the couch, watching TV with a bag of chips and the next thing you know they’re all gone? Does the term boredom eating mean anything to you? The first thing you need to know is that there’s absolutely noting wrong with boredom eating but on today’s episode I want to talk about how we can begin to relate to it differently, understand it better, and maybe choose to do something different when those feelings arise.

Welcome to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! I am so happy you are here with me this week. 
I recorded this podcast episode IN THE DARK! We lost power for 26h last week which forced me to have many reflections such as : OUR ENVIRONMENT!
This week, I want to talk about your environment and identify if it's setting you up fort success or failure! 
. 
In this episode, we discuss: 
How does your environment impact you?
What supports YOU in your journey
What creates hurdles in your healing journey
