    79. Gut Health Secrets Series Part 1: Gut Health Gets Real for Melissa and Kim

    Free Guide:  10 Daily Tips to Stop Stress Eating. Welcome to Episode 79 of the Emotional Eats Podcast! In this episode, hosts Kim Hynes and Melissa Slemp engage in an open and vulnerable conversation about their personal journeys with gut health challenges and hormonal shifts over the past year.  They discuss that these are more symptoms to add to the midlife and post menopausal journey. Both health coaches want to provide you with support, empathy, and practical advice as they share the ups and downs of navigating these health issues while also guiding their clients. This authentic discussion sheds light on how even experienced health professionals can face significant personal health struggles and shows the importance of tuning in to your body, advocating for yourself, and exploring holistic approaches as well as medical approaches to healing. Kim and Melissa explain how their gut health issues were unexpected, even with their background in health and wellness and daily eating and lifestyle habits. Melissa shares her sudden onset of severe skin issues in late 2023, initially misdiagnosed as eczema, which persisted and worsened over time. She details her frustrations and describes her ongoing treatments.  Kim then opens up about her battle with severe constipation, which began in early 2024 and led her to try various dietary changes, digestive aids, and functional medicine testing. After more medical testing, a clear colonoscopy and changing habits, adding supplements and eliminating foods, the symptoms have changed.  Both Kim and Melissa emphasize the importance of listening to your body, being your own advocate, and seeking medical, holistic and lifestyle coaching support when needed.  Connect with Kim and Melissa: Kim Hynes Instagram: @KimHynesHealth Website: KimHynes.com   Melissa (Blood Sugar Boss) Type 1 in Midlife Podcast: https://www.abundanthealthwithmelissa.com/podcast Instagram: @BloodSugarBoss Website: AbundantHealthWithMelissa.com   If you resonate with this episode or have a similar story, Kim and Melissa encourage you to reach out to them, share your story, and continue the conversation.

    77. Beyond Food: How Inner Work Transforms Emotional Eating and Weight loss with Jared Hamilton

    Welcome to Episode 77 of the Emotional Eats podcast! I sat down with Jared Hamilton, fat loss and mindset coach who helps people not only lose weight, but heal their relationship with food and focus on the inside as much as the outside. Jared shared his journey of transitioning from being known as the "sustainable fat loss guy" to embracing a deeper, more holistic approach that combines both mental and emotional well-being with sustainable fat loss. More fun facts about Jared:  Dog dad x 3, purple belt in jiu-jitsu, Host of the Dieting From the Inside Out podcast. Jared explained how his own personal development journey led him to realize that true change begins with inner work. Jared shares that his coaching shifted as he discovered that many of his clients’ struggles with weight and food stemmed from deeper issues related to self-worth, identity, and emotional coping mechanisms.  We talk about the challenges many women face with diet culture and the pervasive "binge-restrict" cycle. Jared shares insights into how restriction often leads to binge eating and how this harmful pattern can be broken by addressing the underlying issues, such as fear of food and body image insecurities.  His framework helps clients rewire their mindset around food, shifting away from labeling foods as "good" or "bad," and instead, focusing on creating healthier, more sustainable habits. We discuss the importance of quiet reflection and alignment, with Jared sharing how he often takes solo sabbaticals to reconnect with his purpose and re-evaluate his coaching methods. He highlighted the importance of combining emotional and mental well-being with physical health, stating that they cannot be separated for lasting success.

    Free Guide:  10 Daily Tips to Stop Stress Eating.  Welcome to Episode 76 of the Emotional Eats Podcast! Kim is real about the topic of grieving your younger body and the emotional toll of body changes during midlife. As a woman in your  40s, 50s, and beyond, you struggle with body image issues and long for the body you once had. Kim shares her personal experience of looking back at her own body in her 30s and early 40s, feeling strong and fit, yet struggling with changes that came during perimenopause and beyond. Kim emphasizes that it's natural to feel sadness or regret when our bodies change, whether it's due to aging, childbirth, or other life events. She discusses how societal pressures and the unrealistic standards promoted by social media, advertising, and culture can make women feel like they should always look like they did in their youth. This pressure leads to feelings of invisibility and insecurity as women navigate the physical and emotional challenges of aging. Throughout the episode, Kim shares insights from her listeners and clients who have opened up about their struggles with body image. Many express longing for their younger selves and regret over not taking better care of their bodies when they were younger. Others note the frustration of dealing with physical changes like weight gain, cellulite, and crepey skin. Kim compassionately validates these feelings, explaining that it’s normal to experience grief around our changing bodies. She offers helpful strategies to shift the focus away from weight and appearance, encouraging women to celebrate what their bodies can do today. Kim advocates for practicing gratitude, embracing self-compassion, and challenging negative thoughts. She also highlights the importance of finding joy in movement—whether it’s walking, resistance training, or dancing—and avoiding punishing exercise or restrictive dieting. Tune in to this thoughtful episode for actionable tips on how to grieve your younger body in a healthy way, reframe negative body image, and embrace the strength and beauty that come with midlife.

    75. Breaking Up with Dieting, Surviving Perimenopause and Owning Body Image in Midlife with Leslie Weidner

    Free Guide:  10 Daily Tips to Stop Stress Eating.  Welcome to Episode 75 of the Emotional Eats Podcast! I had the pleasure of talking with registered dietitian Leslie Weidner to discuss all things women’s health, nutrition, and perimenopause. We begin by discussing Leslie’s journey to becoming a dietitian, which began after her initial career in sales and was fueled by her personal experiences with marathon training and nutrition. She shares the challenges of switching careers later in life, juggling motherhood, and starting her own business, giving listeners an intimate look at her path to helping women through nutrition. Her decision to specialize in women’s health was driven by the desire to offer personalized support not just with nutrition but with other factors that contribute to overall health for women in perimenopause, such as regular exercise, sleep and stress management. Leslie’s approach is rooted in empathy and compassion, as she understands and shares many of the same challenges faced by her clients. Leslie and I also discuss the often confusing and random symptoms of perimenopause, which can include everything from mood changes and sleep disruptions and anxiety to food intolerances, gut issues and inflammation. We both reflect on how many women may not immediately connect these weird symptoms to hormonal shifts, leading to feelings of frustration and confusion during this stage of life. A big part of our conversation revolves around diet culture and its long-lasting impact on body image. Leslie shares her thoughts on how women are often expected to maintain the bodies they had in their 20s or 30s, even as they age. This unrealistic expectation can lead to restrictive eating and a constant cycle of dieting, which can ultimately harm both physical and emotional health.  We discuss food and nutrition myths and  explore how carbohydrates, often unfairly demonized, are essential for brain function, muscle health, and overall well-being. Additionally, Leslie highlights the importance of muscle as we age, not just for appearance but for metabolic and physical health. As we dive into the topic of intuitive eating, we examine how emotional eating often stems from the binge-restrict cycle. Leslie offers guidance on how women can break free from restrictive diets and start enjoying food in a way that’s nourishing and sustainable. She emphasizes that food is not only about fueling the body but also about enjoyment, culture, and community. We also address the role of stress and cortisol in perimenopause, noting how chronic stress can worsen symptoms and lead to unhealthy eating habits.  Tune in until the end.  Leslie provides practical tips on how to reduce stress and prioritize self-care during this life stage. Be sure to follow Leslie for more tips on navigating perimenopause with confidence, and don’t forget to share this episode with that girlfriend who can relate. Highlights: Background and Introduction (0:02) Transition to Nutrition Career (1:34) Personal Experiences with Perimenopause (6:24) Common Perimenopause Symptoms and  Misconceptions (7:25) Impact of Diet Culture and Body Image (9:54) Challenges of Aging and Diet (13:49) Importance of Carbohydrates (17:09) Managing Emotional Eating and Food Restriction (21:10) The Role of Stress and Cortisol (32:11) Intermittent Fasting and Sustainability (35:29)  Connect with Leslie:   Website: https://lesliewnutrition.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/perimenopause_nutritionist/   Connect with Kim: https://www.instagram.com/kimhyneshealth https://www.kimhynes.com     If you like the Emotional Eats podcast, please subscribe/follow and give us a 5 star rating and review and tag us on social media. I would be so grateful.

    74. Mastering Emotions in Midlife: Breaking Free from Emotional Eating, Voicing Needs and Setting Boundaries with John Ford

    Welcome to Episode 74 of the Emotional Eats Podcast! I enjoyed a deep and insightful conversation with John Ford, a mediator and expert in conflict resolution, emotional literacy, and empathy. John shares his personal journey, starting in apartheid South Africa, where he was driven to pursue law to foster change. However, his path shifted toward mediation, focusing on resolving conflicts through emotional awareness and relational harmony. This evolution in his career led him to become a workplace mediator, with a particular emphasis on emotional intelligence. Throughout the conversation, John explains the distinction between emotions, feelings, and needs, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and validating emotions in conflict resolution and personal growth.  He also makes the connection to emotional eating. John shares the habitual nature of emotional responses, shaped by early life experiences, and how you can rewire your emotional habits through emotional awareness and practice. John shares practical tips for developing emotional intelligence, including techniques like breathwork, self-compassion, and the importance of asserting needs through clear communication. We explore the challenges faced by women, particularly in midlife, in expressing their needs without feeling guilt or shame. We discuss how societal programming often discourages women from asserting themselves and how learning to communicate needs effectively can lead to more fulfilling relationships. John talks about the importance of boundaries, saying no, and being authentic in personal interactions.  This can also lead to using food less to cope or soothe. Listen to the end. John provides actionable tips for listeners to begin their journey toward greater emotional literacy, offering insights on calming routines, getting in touch with emotions, and learning to assert needs with confidence. As mentioned in the episode, explore The Empathy Set for practical tools to enhance your emotional awareness.  See the link below.

    73. Diet Detox: Eat More, Lose Weight and Be Stronger After 40 with Joe Hoye

    In Episode 73 of the Emotional Eats Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Joe Hoye, founder of Hoye Fit, about his unique decision as a young man to focus on helping women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. He helps midlife women get fit, lose weight, and improve their longevity. Joe shared his heartfelt and personal story, which began when his mother took him to the gym at 13, helping him discover his passion for fitness. He described how his early struggles with body image, confidence, and weight gain shaped his mission to help others, particularly women, find their own strength and self-worth through health and fitness. Joe talks about his "diet detox" approach, which encourages women to move away from restrictive diets and into a thriving, empowered relationship with food. We talk about why strength training is crucial for women over 40, how cardio can often lead to muscle loss, and how important it is to focus on fat loss rather than just weight loss.  One of my favorite topics that Joe discusses is the role of mindset in midlife health, sharing that success starts in the mind and that overcoming the mental barriers to health is just as important as the physical aspects. Joe’s approach is all about empowering women to stop dieting and start thriving, providing practical advice on increasing calories in a healthy way, strength training, and debunking common diet myths.  IMPORTANT!  Joe makes a very generous offer to one lucky listener.  You’ll want to tune in to have a chance to win.   GIVEWAY!!!!!!
