More Than What You Eat Rachel Goodman, RDN

Weight gain has been demonized by diet culture, that much is clear. 
Which makes it hard to heal your body image, especially if you've regained weight as you have been healing your relationship with food. 
Given body diversity is normal and we are not all meant to be thin, this can be normal and a part of the healing process. 
But what happens when you keep gaining and gaining weight? How do you know when it is part of healing or part of an issue? 
And more importantly, if it is a result of an unhealthy reason, what is the solution? [hint: its still not dieting!]
I recently wrote a post on instagram addressing this topic and while many appreciated the nuance I shared, others were upset by it. 
Which is why I’m answering the questions of: Is my weight gain healthy or unhealthy? In today’s podcast episode. Because these conversations should not be shoved under the rug. I don’t believe in denial but rather having understanding and awareness through the lens of self compassion to know how to take care of yourself and when to reach out for support 
 
In this episode, we cover: 
 
Why we shouldn’t ignore weight entirely 
Signs of healthy and unhealthy weight loss
Why you can’t assume you know someone’s health status based on how they look
Signs of healthy and unhealthy weight gain
Why it’s okay to question weight gain and why its not fatphobic to do so
Responses to instagram comments who were triggered by this topic and why it's important to not avoid these conversations

Diet culture complicates nutrition when in reality - it’s really quite simple. 
But what happens when you want to care for your health BUT:

→ You’re worried you’ll revert back to your dieting ways.
→ You’re so burned out from your dieting days that even the thought of vegetables makes you feel restricted. 
→ You feel so confused on what nutrition advice you should be listening to with all the misinformation out there. 
 
I answer every one of these questions [and more] in this episode!
 
We cover: 
How to assess if you’re ready to discuss and implement nutrition 
Where your resistance to nutrition is coming from and how to overcome it
How to spot and differentiate between helpful and harmful nutrition advice

Living with an inner critic in your mind that relentlessly makes you feel bad about your body.. 
That tells you how ‘bad’ you are for eating a slice of cake… 
That convinces you that you're weak, a failure, and not enough - is EXHAUSTING! 
But what if the way to rid yourself of these mean thoughts wasn’t to focus on actually getting rid of them? 
Because so far, that hasn’t worked. It’s only causing you to get more frustrated with yourself. 
What if the answer was not to fight these mean thoughts, but to lean in to them? 
 
In this podcast episode, licensed therapist Robin Gutman, shares with us a revolutionary therapy approach to heal your body image and relationship with food that will help you drop the fight with your mean thoughts and heal in a way that is kind, compassionate, and realistic. 
 
In this episode we cover: 
What is the Internal Family Systems approach and how can it help you heal from negative body image, food rules, and binging. 
What your mind sounds like when you binge (you’ll want to hear this!!)
How your negative thoughts and inner bully have become protective mechanisms (and why they are so hard to let go of, even when it's making you miserable)
How to let go of these maladaptive protective mechanisms so you can live at peace with yourself, with food, and your body.

The sooner you focus on the RIGHT things to build your business and work with dream clients, the sooner you’ll achieve that goal and live out your vision of success. 
 
Looking back, when I began my entrepreneur journey, I stalled my own success because I was focusing on the wrong things. Things I thought were important but actually weren’t. 
 
As soon as I understood what actually matters in building a successful business and took action in that direction, I signed on dream clients, created and fully booked programs and scaled my business to have the time and location freedom I now have. 
 
In this episode, I share with you the 3 things I would do differently, knowing what I know now, to accelerate that success - so that you achieve it faster!  
 
In this episode we cover: 
 
Why you don’t need to waste time creating a website (and what to use instead!)
The type of content you actually need to be creating to attract your ideal client 
One big mistake to avoid that will cause you to lose clients
Why mindset should be your #1 priority to build a successful business
