    How Diet Culture Misleads Us About Health

    Is diet culture helping or hurting us?  Earlier in my journey, I didn’t question what diet culture was—I simply accepted its ideas as fact. From counting calories to trying extreme diets, I thought all these efforts were necessary for my health and happiness. But as I dug deeper into obesity medicine, I learned how diet culture leads us to label foods as "good" or "bad," drives unhealthy weight-loss behaviors, and can cause us to overlook more important health indicators, like our energy and mental well-being. In this episode, I share personal stories about breaking free from these harmful beliefs and discovering a healthier, more compassionate approach to wellness. Tune in now for a fresh, empowering take on building a positive relationship with food, fitness, and body image.   Episode Highlights: The roots and influences of diet culture on our beliefs about food and body image. Personal stories and the lifelong effects of restrictive dieting. The complex factors affecting weight beyond just diet and exercise. How diet culture contributes to weight stigma and body dissatisfaction. Practical tips on moving toward a balanced, intuitive approach to eating.   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

    Battling the Perimenopause Pounds

    Did you know? Perimenopause can cause unexpected weight gain—even with no changes in diet or exercise. In this episode, Dr. Shelley discusses how hormonal changes during perimenopause—like declines in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—can lead to weight gain, especially around the abdomen. This transition period also brings a slowed metabolism, reduced lean muscle mass, and increased hunger hormones, which can make weight management more challenging. To manage these changes, Dr. Shelley emphasizes adopting heart-healthy diets like the Mediterranean or plant-based diets, strength training to preserve muscle and bone health, and incorporating realistic lifestyle adjustments for balanced nutrition and physical activity. Curious about how to manage weight during perimenopause? Tune in to learn practical tips and insights to stay healthy and strong through this transition!   Episode Highlights: About perimenopause and weight gain Understanding perimenopause Factors contributing to weight gain Strategies for managing weight during perimenopause  Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

    When Stress Meets Snacks: The Hidden Costs of Emotional Eating

    Turning to food for comfort is a common habit, but emotional eating often leaves us feeling emptier than before. In this episode, I discuss emotional eating, where stress and other emotions drive us to food for comfort rather than actual hunger. Emotional eating is reinforced by biological responses like the release of cortisol and dopamine, creating a cycle of eating to soothe emotions. To manage this, I recommend recognizing the difference between emotional and physical hunger, checking in with yourself before eating, using stress-management techniques, and setting a regular eating routine. Seeking support can also help if emotional eating becomes a persistent issue. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help along the way. Tune into this episode to learn practical strategies to break the cycle of emotional eating and take back control of your health!   Episode Highlights: About emotional eating Science behind emotional eating Cycle of emotional eating Recognizing the difference between emotional and physical hunger   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

    Estrogen's Influence on Weight and Well-Being

    Did you know that the hormone responsible for regulating your reproductive system also plays a major role in how your body manages weight? In this episode, I discuss the role of estrogen in weight management. I explain how estrogen, a hormone essential for regulating reproductive functions, also influences fat storage, metabolism, appetite, and muscle maintenance. I also cover how estrogen fluctuates throughout a woman’s life—from puberty to menopause—and its effects on fat distribution, particularly around the hips and abdomen. In men, elevated estrogen levels can lead to weight gain, reduced libido, and other health issues. Lastly, I provide practical tips for managing weight during hormonal changes, such as strength training, maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and prioritizing sleep. Whether you're a woman navigating menopause or a man concerned about hormonal balance, this episode is packed with valuable insights.

    Hungry for Knowledge: The Role of Leptin and Ghrelin in Weight Management

    Ever wonder why you feel hungry or full? Two key hormones—leptin and ghrelin—might be the reason. In this episode, I discuss the roles of leptin and ghrelin in controlling hunger and weight. Leptin signals when you're full, while ghrelin triggers hunger. Also, factors like stress, sleep, and diet can disrupt these hormones, leading to overeating and weight gain. Although there's no direct treatment for balancing leptin and ghrelin, getting enough sleep, managing stress, eating a balanced diet, and staying active can help regulate hunger and support healthy weight management. Tune in to learn how these hormones influence your appetite and discover simple lifestyle changes to help manage hunger and maintain a healthy weight.
