Diet Culture Rebel Podcast Bonnie Roney

Hey Rebel!
Today I'm answering 3 listener questions to help you feel supported on your journey as you give diet culture the middle finger to become an intuitive eater. 
Do you feel like if you let yourself go and eat all of this stuff you want, you will never stop? I'll be sharing my answer to why this happens and tips for how you can "control" it!
What if you want to both heal your relationship with food and lose weight? Is this possible? I'm diving deep into this one in this episode.
Plus I'll share my personal story about what made me realize that what I was doing was not living and let go of my fears (and how I changed my whole business because of this!).
Listen in and take notes on this one because I know you're going to get so much clarity on your journey to food freedom after this one!

Hey Rebel!
Does existing in a larger body automatically lead to more joint pain and daily discomfort?
You may automatically assume, "yes!"...but what if that's a myth? To help navigate this popular topic I brought in Dr. Lisa, a weight-inclusive physical therapist and body image coach, to help us dive deep into how diet culture infiltrates the physical therapy space and challenge many misconceptions surrounding body size and pain.
Get ready to hear all about:
What actually causes pain (and how it’s not simply a result of body size). How to move away from the mindset that it’s your fault if you experience body aches, pains, or ailments. How to better understand the signals your body sends when you’re experiencing discomfort. One daily practice to help protect your body. & more!
Ps. Pay special attention to Dr. Lisa’s discussion on the shame people feel when they believe their body aches are their fault. You might hear some powerful parallels between the shame experienced from dieting failures and the shame related to physical ailments.

Hey Rebel! 
Today we are answering a question submitted by a listener named Veronica. She asks, "What do you think about coaches who promote body transformations, the before and after, the way they work? I am a Pilates instructor, became a coach myself, but I don't agree with the system, so I don't promote it."
In today's episode, I also share my opinion on topics like:
Progress pictures Weighing yourself every day Tracking macros And coaches who say you need to look a certain way because you are an example If you have your own question that you would like addressed here on the Diet Culture Rebel podcast, then go to dietculturerebel.com/podcast to submit one!

Hey Rebel!
There's nothing I love more than hearing people who struggled with their relationships with food for so long recount how intuitive eating changed their lives for the better. That's the story you'll be hearing today, as my past group coaching client, Michelle, shares how she went from obsessing over food, struggling with her body image, and overcoming addiction, to now being in a place where she can go on spontaneous dates, listen to her body, and never diet again!
Michelle shares so much wisdom about the mindset shifts she made to begin challenging her relationship with food. She realized that if you are going to have to eat every day for the rest of your life, you might as well make the best of it!
You'll also hear her discuss:
The origin story of her body shame growing up When she realized her food struggles deserved help How she moved through the honeymoon phase The importance of embracing fear throughout the journey & more! I know you'll walk away from this episode with inspiration!

Hey Rebel!
I am thrilled to have Elyse Resch, co-founder of Intuitive Eating, on the podcast today for an insightful discussion about the future of intuitive eating. As an anti-diet dietitian and a certified intuitive eating counselor, I've personally benefited from Elyse's training and am excited to share her invaluable insights with you!
In this episode, we delve into
The future of intuitive eating through a social justice lens The importance of autonomy in food choices for raising the future generation of intuitive eaters How struggling with food could result from your needs not being met. & how "failing" at dieting could actually mean you are a success at ego development and not letting people tell you what to do (love this!). Whether you're new to intuitive eating or a seasoned practitioner, this episode dives into those nuances of intuitive eating that you won't get off an Instagram post (we talk about some of the challenges of social media in this episode. too!)

Hey Rebel. Recently, an Oprah special came out titled "shame, blame and the weight loss revolution", all about the popular weight loss drugs right now... and it got a lot of attention. So I decided to watch the special so you don't have to and today I am breaking it down with all of my thoughts... and I have a lot. 
Surprisingly, there are a few things I agree with. But there are more things that I have concerns about...
Give it a listen to hear all about the special and even more about the science (or lack thereof) behind these medications.
