    Ep 127 I experienced the WORST bad body image moment I've had in YEARS - here's how I worked through it (so you can, too)

    Negative body image moments can feel like they 'come out of nowhere' and suck the joy out of your day. And if your body image is chronically bad, it can be even a week, month, year, or lifetime.  I'm going to let you in on a secret, these bad body image moments can also happen even when you've healed your body image!  In fact, not too long ago, I experienced one of the worst body image moments I've had in a really really long time, probably even years!  A big misconception, and one that my clients I've been working with a for a while bring up often, is the belief that if you have a healthy body image and positive relationship with our body, then you won't or you 'shouldn't' (ugh, there's the pesky word again) have bad body image thoughts or feelings EVER.  The truth is, a healthy body image doesn't mean you'll never have a bad body image thought, day or moment. A healthy body image is knowing how to respond and work through these moments in a way that is kind and honors you and your body.  In this podcast episode, I share with you how I do that in real time (so you can, too!) and turned around a really bad body image experience (I mean, I nearly cried!), to one that felt compassionate and empowering and left me feeling GOOD.  Whether you struggle with your body image all day every day or feel like you're doing well and then spiral when you are hit with a bad body image moment - you'll find this episode relatable, practical, and healing.   In this episode we cover:  The moment that triggered Rachel to have negative body image thoughts The processed she used to work through and overcome the negative feelings toward her body  How she turned around her negative body image moment into empowerment and healing The steps she took to feel amazing in her body without dieting, restricting, or shaming   LINKS MENTIONED:    FREE Believable Body Image Healing Guide: how to reframe your negative body image thoughts into deep healing your mind will actually believe, click HERE to get it now.    Rachel's Resources: Apply for 1:1 coaching for personalized high level support to accelerate yourself to the binge-free life you deserve.

    Ep 123 What EVERYONE Must Know About Ozempic and GLP-1s with Kelli Yarn, RDN

    You've heard about ozempic, mounjaro, zepbound, and other GLP-1s for weight loss. But do you really know what they are doing to your body and the risks involved? Too many people are prescribed weight loss medication without informed consent. Meaning, they are given zero education on what these drugs actually do to the body, the risks involved, or what to do to manage and mitigate such risks.  While I personally don't endorse intentional pursuits of weight loss, I'm all for body autonomy. It's your choice what to do with your body and I don't believe in judging others for it.  But being prescribed a  medication that alters how our body functions without the full information you need, is not the body autonomy that should be encouraged. It's not safe or ethical to push these medications without requiring medical professionals to be transparent in how they work [no, 'you'll be less hungry and lose weight' is not an explanation] and the risks involved [no, 'you may be nauseous' doesn't cut it].  In this episode, fellow registered dietitian, Kelli Yarn, shares with you her experience with GLP-1s patients, how they affect your body, the risks involved and what to do to prevent harm if someone is already taking GLP-1s.  This conversation is not here to tell you what to do with your body, it's here to educate you and prevent harm.  Whether you feel tempted to go on a GLP-1, want to learn more about it, or are someone [or know someone] who's taking it… this is the episode that everyone should listen to.    In this episode, we cover: What doctors are not telling you about GLP-1s What are GLP-1s, how do they affect your body, and the physiological mechanisms they cause to result in weight loss The #1 risk of taking GLP-1s and what to do about it  Food noise and GLP-1s Understanding the real concern with 'ozempic face' The long term effects of losing muscle mass on quality and longevity of life.  Why and how your body loses muscle mass when you diet  The risk of comparing yourself to people who take GLP-1s Understanding informed consent  How to practice body autonomy to make the right decision for YOUR health.    Your support of the More Than What You Eat Podcast means the world!
