    Simplifying Nutrition and Movement For Enhanced Wellness with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer

    Diets can be a reminder of what no can feel like. The issue occurs that over time a no somatically gets connected with deprivation and restriction. So when you really don’t want to eat something, a no sends your body into a survival response. It can feel like you’re not allowed to say no because now all you feel is tight, tense, and constricted.  And then anti diet culture swoops in and tells you that you’re allowed to eat and to eat everything and this can push you further away from listening to what would resonate most with you. What I find is missing from this process is updating your body that all responses are safe. Yes, no, and maybe.  In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Alexandra Gajer, founder of The Gajer Practice and board-certified physician, about:  Her disillusionment with conventional medicineThe role of gut health in well beingSimplifying nutrition and movementThe overlooked crucial importance of sleepCreating evening rituals for better sleep Building habits that care for you and your bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/simplifying-nutrition-and-movement Enjoy this week's episode and "see" you all next week!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Dr. Gajer: Website: https://thegajerpractice.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGajerPractice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegajerpractice/    Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

    Reading Reddit Stories: Body Image Edition

    Every Saturday, my husband and I listen to a podcast that reads Reddit stories.  For a long time, I have wanted to do something similar but with a focus on food and body image behaviors. I even set up a whole form for people to send in questions, but I got very few responses. So I decided to move forward on this anyway and find my own Reddit stories to read and share my thoughts on how I might support that person in their situation.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode:  I read 3 different body image situations I discuss from a trauma, somatic, and nervous system perspective how I might respond to these indivdualsI get into topics such as weight stigma, past trauma, capitalism, and dieting generational traumaI share the wisdom in body image concerns and how to start to see them as protection Because this was a new kind of episode I'm testing out, there is no transcript to this week's episode. If you loved this format, let me know and I will be sure to have transcripts to future episodes like this one. I would love to hear your thoughts on this new format and I hope you enjoy it!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

    Bioindividual Approach to Nutrition for Neurodiversity and ADHD with Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas

    Over the past few years, I've become more interested in neurodiversity. I've had more people come to work with me navigating being on the ADHD or autism spectrums and telling me that intuitive eating didn't work for them. I saw that many of the bodily changes that can occur as a response to trauma can already be happening in someone's brain when in the spectrum of neurodiversity.  This can include quicker shifts into activated or collapsed nervous system states, less dopamine and time spent in a safety, more energy utilized to socialize, navigate transitions and make decisions. This can show up with food as struggling to hear hunger and fullness cues, heightened sensitivity to texture, taste, or smells, sensory seeking with crunch or flavor, difficulties with planning, cooking, or remembering to eat. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas, clinical neuroscientist, nutrition researcher, autistic ADHDer, and author, about:  ADHD and nutritionListening to your unique body's signalsUnderstanding sensory sensitivitiesThe role environment plays in food choicesThe connection between trauma and foodFinding balance in nutritionPractical meal prep strategiesYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/bioindividual-approach-to-nutrition-for-neurodiversity-and-adhd Enjoy this week's episode and reach out with any insights!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Dr. Miguel here:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiguelmateas/ Website: https://drmiguelmateas.com Book: ADHD Body and Mind https://amzn.to/4riUEjo Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

    How To Choose Foods Based On Your Body's Constitution with Dr. Shivani Gupta

    Digestion and cravings can all start in your nervous system. Food decisions made from a stressed, sympathetic nervous system state will lead you to specific foods for your survival.  You then struggle to digest those foods, not because there is something “wrong” with the food or your gut, but because your digestion has shut down to prepare you for battle.  You can start to see that every food behavior you have is trying to do something FOR you.  Your body needs attunement, compassion, and safety, not ridicule, shame, and judgment. Getting to know how your unique body functions and what it needs and when can be an empowering experience. And, there are many lenses that you can get to know your body through.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, inflammation expert, and author, about:  Ayurveda in a modern contextFood as nourishmentUnderstanding your individual dietary needs based on your constitution and doshasSeasonal eating and circadian rhythmsGrowing in your awareness of your connection with foodYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-to-choose-foods-based-on-your-bodys-constitution Chat with you more next week!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Dr. Shivani:  Website: www.shivanigupta.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.shivanigupta/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.shivanigupta  Book: The Inflammation Code: https://amzn.to/4sTPjkp Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

    Uncomplicating Wellness and Redefining Personal Wellness with Jenn Trepeck

    Wellness culture teaches you how to NOT feel enough. It is never enough biohacking, protein, red light therapy, organic, sprouted, activated, pure, lectin free food. Feeling like you’re never going to get it “right” does not create wellness. What creates "wellness" are things that cannot be commodified and sold to you as the answer to your fears and worries.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Jenn Trepeck, Certified Health & Nutrition Coach, & author about:  What uncomplicating wellness looks like & meansBiostacking rather than biohackingThe basics of wellnessDefining personal wellnessThe impact of diet cultureWhat wellness actually includes according to researchYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/uncomplicating-wellness Email me any of your insights at support@stephaniemara.com!

    Unraveling the Hidden Energetic Effects of Generational Trauma with Shannon Salge

    When the focus is always on finding a root cause, it keeps you looking for the next answer and the next answer and the next answer to your food issues. This can keep you stuck in a survival response. This constant searching sends signals of danger to the body that something is wrong, and it has to keep the sympathetic nervous system turned on (where food behaviors intensify). What if there is no root cause to your binge eating or emotional eating or body image concerns or chronic dieting or restricting? What if this is a natural impulse when you don’t feel safe? What if this all made A LOT of sense and there is nothing to fix or change or heal, but rather to explore how you could respond to a food or body impulse differently? In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Shannon Salge, founder of The Wellness Paradigm, Functional Nutritionist and Bioresonance Practitioner about:  Understanding bioresonanceThe role of generational trauma and energy in healing Exploring emotional connections to symptoms Understanding the body's communication Identifying when you need to stop looking for the next treatment to "fix" yourself Daily practices to regulate You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/unraveling-the-hidden-energetic-effects-of-generational-trauma Hope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Shannon: Website: https://www.thewellnessparadigm.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shannon.salge/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannon.salge/ Free Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/TWP_Free_Group  Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

    The Death of New Year's Resolutions and What To Replace It With

    I wanted to approach the transition into a new year differently.  For the past couple of years, I felt like it was more somatically aligned to explore a feeling word for the year rather than resolutions. This feeling word could then be a guiding light throughout the year toward actions or food or environments or hobbies that support you in feeling the way you want to feel.  But, I decided to move away from that this year because I sensed it could be used as another way to disembody and to try to force the body into a state or way of being that is mentally desired but not actually what the body wants or needs.  So, I'm moving in a different somatic direction this year. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about:  The history of a New Year What it means to live somaticallyWhat this looks like as an ongoing practice And how this could all lead to decreasing food behaviors and increasing the creation of living the life you want to be livingYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-death-of-new-years-resolutions I'm excited to explore somatics, trauma, and nutrition more with you over this next year and one exciting piece of news is that the Satiated Podcast has been chosen as one of the Top 40 Women In Food Podcasts by FeedSpot.  So thank you for being here, for continuing to be here, and for leaving such amazing reviews on how much you love the podcast!

    When Holiday Leftovers Feel Like a Threat

    This holiday week might have been really hard. Surrounded by family, arguments, familial patterns, working on staying connected, trying to enact different patterns with food, and feeling overwhelmed and dysregulated.  And for others, ​this week may have included huge wins. You noticed yourself regulating your nervous system, staying connected, choosing other options besides food to connect with yourself, and you got to witness just how far you've come in your food recovery.  ​But today, three days after the actual holiday, it may feel like food is even more of a struggle than it was a few days ago. The​ experience of joy, connection, stress, exhaustion, social pressure, and emotional intensity of the day ​may be ove​r, ​but the food is still here. ​Maybe you had a plan leading up to the holiday. You had your friends on stand by via text, you had your somatic practices you've learned here or in a session, you showed up for yourself, you tried to stay connected, and so now you may feel utterly confused that you got through the holiday just fine, but want to binge on every holiday leftover food you can find.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about:  Why leftovers can feel like a threatWhat has changed in your nervous system the day after a holidayMaking sense of your urge to binge leftovers How to somatically process the leftover food binge You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/when-holiday-leftovers-feel-like-a-threat I'll be putting out a special New Years' episode next week so if there is anything you'd like me to add to this episode on how to somatically enter the new year without diet promises and exercise rules, respond to this email with any questions you have!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...
