The Gratefully Nourished Podcast with Alyssa Pike, RD Alyssa Pike, RD

We have another episode about exercise! Today I'm asking personal trainer Kasey Shuler how to shift our view of exercise to be life-giving instead of draining. Kasey helps us redefine exercise, shares tangible tips for improving our fitness by grace and helps us discern which type of exercise is best on any given day. We also discuss her experience with food and exercise and how she found intuitive eating.

Today's episode is a fun one because I have my friend Amanda joining me! Amanda and I became friends in 2020 - we live close to each other, go to the same church, and have weekly girl dinners with our friends :-)

I'm so excited for you to hear this episode because we share BOTH of our positive pregnancy, labor & birth experiences as well as what we learned during the first year of motherhood. I had my son three weeks before Amanda had her daughter so we really did experience this massive life change alongside each other.



We talk about:


Our pregnancies, labor & birth experiences
Positive hospital birth experiences
Navigating the newborn phase & baby sleep
Giving up control
The self-sacrificial nature of being a mom
Postpartum anxiety
The importance of community
What we would do differently/same
What was most surprising
& What others say they learned in the first year of motherhood

I hope you find this episode honest, realistic & encouraging. Becoming a mom is such a major experience & you need community to support you when it feels overwhelming. You're not alone & you're doing a great job, mama!



See the episode where I interview my friend Amber here.

Have you ever wondered what the Bible has to say about food and our bodies? If so, this episode is for you! On today's episode of the Gratefully Nourished podcast, registered dietitian Alyssa Pike is interviewing theologian and writer Amy Gannett who provides a powerful (and maybe jarring!) theology of food and the body and shares her experience overcoming her own struggle with food and body image.

If you find yourself worried that your body has disqualified you from the love of God or consumed by thoughts about food, you'll be encouraged by this conversation.

More about Amy:

Amy Gannett is a writer and Bible teacher passionate about equipping Christians to study the Bible through The Bible Study Schoolhouse. She is also the founder of Tiny Theologians, a line of discipleship tools for children. Amy and her husband, Austin, are church planters in eastern North Carolina.

If you've ever wanted to understand the basics of eating disorders, this episode will help you do just that. In today's episode, Jessica shares how she got into the eating disorder field, we discuss the spectrum of eating behaviors -- ranging from positive to neutral to destructive to threatening, the three needs for recovery and common misconceptions about eating disorders. Jessica delivered several key insights that I know I'm going to be thinking about for a long time.



I'm so grateful I got to sit down and talk with Jessica -- I share this on the podcast but her resource "Eating Disorders Bootcamp" is one of the main resources I devoured when I first started working in this area.



More About Jessica:

Jessica Setnick is the best kind of dietitian – she knows her stuff and is relatable and irreverent about it. She envisions a world where no on is ashamed to talk about their eating issues and everyone who wants help can get it. Everything she’s done in her career has focused in some way on eating disorder care and widening the circle of people who understand how to help, including health professionals, parents and friends.
