    She Survived 3 Brain Surgeries — But Nobody Talks About What Comes After

    In this episode of Take Care of Your Body by Ry, Ry sits down with Kai, a 25-year-old chronic illness and disability advocate, future speech-language pathologist, and three-time brain surgery survivor living with hydrocephalus. Kai opens up about the mental health side of repeated brain surgeries, medical trauma, chronic illness, and what it’s really like to live with a condition that can make your own body feel unpredictable. Together, Ry and Kai talk about identity, fear, resilience, disability advocacy, navigating healthcare as a young adult, and the emotional aftermath that often gets overlooked once the physical crisis is over. This conversation is a reminder that surviving something medically doesn’t always mean you’re finished processing it emotionally — and that the mental health impact of chronic illness deserves just as much space as the physical one. 🧠 For more of Rylin- books-https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0FD2C8Q5M?ccs_id=7ee29825-f8fe-4a04-8ea6-6411a3e9dade insta-https://www.instagram.com/rylinrosee/ pod insta-https://www.instagram.com/takecarebyry/ For More Of kai https://www.instagram.com/my.badass.brain/

    When Your Body Doesn’t Have Enough Energy: RED-S Explained w/ PhD Student Ama

    What happens when your body doesn’t have enough energy to keep up with everything you’re asking it to do? In this episode, Ry sits down with her friend Ama, a PhD student and researcher who has studied Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), to break down the science behind under-fueling and low energy availability. They talk about how RED-S can impact the body beyond athletic performance—including bone health, hormones, recovery, metabolism, mental health, and overall well-being—plus why recognizing the signs of inadequate fueling matters. Ama shares what she learned through her research, while Ry brings the conversation back to body image, our complicated relationships with food and exercise, and what it actually means to take care of a body instead of constantly asking more from it. Science, real life, and two friends talking about why your body deserves enough fuel. 🤍 This episode is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for individualized medical or nutrition advice. 📖 SHOP MY BOOKS:• Amazon Author Page: https://amazon.com• "Once Upon a Time, I Survived Myself": https://amazon.com• "Everything Was Here But You": https://amazon.com• Barnes & Noble: https://barnesandnoble.com• Walmart: https://walmart.com📱 CONNECT WITH ME:• Website: https://rylinrossano.com• Instagram: https://instagram.com/rylinrosee• Podcast IG: https://instagram.com/takecarebyry

    Is Social Media Ruining Our Relationship With Food? | Body Image, Diet Culture & Food Freedom with RD Skylar Pieper

    This week on Take Care of Your Body by Ry, I’m joined by registered dietitian Skylar Pieper, MS, RD for an honest conversation about food, body image, social media, and what it actually means to have a healthy relationship with eating. 💛 We talk about the pressure to eat “perfectly,” why food doesn’t need to be earned, the line between being health-conscious and becoming overly restrictive, and how diet culture has found its way into modern wellness content. We also get into body image, nutrition misinformation, What I Eat in a Day culture, fear around carbs and sugar, and why comparing our plates—or our bodies—to people online can get complicated fast. Skylar also shares what life is really like as an RD, what shaped her approach to nutrition, and why her philosophy “life doesn’t happen on a meal plan” matters so much. This episode is your reminder that taking care of your body doesn’t have to mean controlling it. Food can be nourishing, enjoyable, convenient, imperfect, social, and just… food.
