Satiated Episode 163: Breaking Up With Diet Culture, The Illusion of Body Control, and What's Really On The Other Side of Healing
Happy Satiated Saturday!
If I look back on my healing journey and the paths of those I have worked with, I see similar themes. It can all start with some kind of trauma and insecure attachment in childhood that created dysregulation in the body. To manage that, a focus on food and body image came in.
It can feel like the dieting, exercising, and hyper focus on your food and body are giving you some sense of control, but really these things are controlling you and keeping you at a distance from yourself (and for good reason!)
So when the urge arises to take back your life, we sometimes have to work it backward. It can start with breaking up with dieting, healing your relationship with food, and then slowly (very slowly) coming back into your body to feel what's there and has been there all along.
In this week’s episode, I chat with Saskia Carr, Intuitive Eating, Body Image, and Mindfulness Coach, about what diet culture is, what the process of breaking up with dieting looks like, the illusion of body control, that healing our relationship with our bodies does NOT need to include loving our bodies, and on your healing journey what comes after no longer worrying about your food or body.

This healing adventure takes time. It took me about a decade to feel like I have a regulating and safety producing relationship with my food and body. Now, you might be thinking, "Stephanie, I don't have that amount of time. I need to heal this yesterday."
I get it. I had those thoughts too. And, taking your time will be worth it. You won't be at a standstill. Small increments of change will occur every day, every week, every month. If I can be of support in any way on this path, reach out anytime.

Satiated Episode 162: Healing Food Sensitivities and Fear of Food With Brain Re-training
Happy Satiated Saturday!
It's truly amazing how many body based healing modalities are out there now.
I've been involved in the somatic world way before somatics was "in" and cool. Most of my family probably thought I was going into some fake psychotherapy degree, but as soon as I read the description of the classes, I knew that was the path for me. I came in to my somatic psychotherapy program loudly declaring I was going to be the one who combines somatics and nutrition.
And now, I see others doing this more and more. It's wonderful that so many practitioners are learning about and infusing somatic work into their practices and it can also feel overwhelming with all the suggestions out there.
This is why I'm excited for you to listen to today's podcast episode with a practitioner who has been diving into and teaching brain retraining and nervous system regulation also before it exploded in popularity the past few years.
In this week’s episode, I chat with Lindsay Mitchell, PA-C, Brain Retraining Coach and the founder & CEO of Vital-Side, about what brain retraining is, how food sensitivities can have nothing to do with the food itself, and brain retraining exercises. We break things down in this episode into bite sized pieces of practical actions you can explore to step into a different relationship with food.
You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/healing-food-sensitivities-and-fear-of-food-with-brain-retraining
Many of the things we discussed today are also explored in the Somatic Eating® Program. I will be sharing a special offer to those on the waitlist this upcoming Tuesday. So be sure you've joined and I'll be in touch more soon! https://www.somaticeating.com/

Satiated Episode 161: Supporting Your Body Through Menstrual Cycle Changes With Weight Lifting And Eating More
Happy Satiated Saturday!
As I move closer to my 40's, I've noticed many changes in my body. A few more gray hairs. Some distinguishing wisdom wrinkles.
I'm excited to see that the changes a woman's body goes through in her life is becoming more openly discussed and normalized. Your body is going to change as you transition from your menstrual years, to peri-menopause, and into menopause.
I like to think of it like a play (for those of you that don't know, I was a former actress and have been in more plays than I can count).
Act 1: pre-menstrual years. Act 2: menstrual years. Act 3: post menstrual years.
In each act, your body is going to need different kinds of support. It will ask for different forms of physical movement and have changing nutritional needs.
I know you've heard me often say that we cannot change what we're not aware of. So, the more awareness you have, the more you can prepare yourself for each act of your life.
In this week’s episode, I chat with Kitty Blomfield, cofounder of NuStrength and Saturee, about the importance of weight lifting as you transition into perimenopause, how to step off the restrict-binge cycle, eating more (not less!) including carbs and sugar, and committing to the journey with your ever changing body.
You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/supporting-your-body-through-menstrual-cycle-changes
As a heads up, a few F-bombs are dropped in this episode so if you have little one's around, be sure to put on headphones. Additionally, we do discuss a bit on tracking your intake. We make it clear in this episode that if you're someone who has a history if disordered eating or an eating disorder that tool will not be one that you will want to utilize.

Satiated Episode 160: Self Sabotage Doesn't Exist. Your Habitual Eating Challenges are Information From Your Body.
Happy Satiated Saturday!
Have you ever called your patterns of binge eating, emotional eating, restricting, yo-yo dieting self sabotage?
The idea of self sabotage means that you're doing something to block your success. I want to reframe that you are NOT getting in your own way when you play out your familiar food coping mechanisms again and again and again.
Defining them as self sabotage interferes with gaining insight from your behavior as you're then seeing it as wrong, bad, or something to be "fixed." Start to see your patterns with food as information on the state of your body and parts of you that are needing to feel safe.
In this week’s episode, I talk about what self sabotage is, why you need to stop thinking of your food coping mechanisms as self sabotage and what to do instead when you feel the familiar impulse to eat when you're not physically hungry.
You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/self-sabotage-doesnt-exist
One of the pieces of feedback I've received from those who have gone through the Somatic Eating® Program is that they cultivated more compassion and awareness around their food patterns where they felt like even when they engaged in a familiar food coping mechanism they no longer self abandoned afterward.
If you're curious about how to get to this place in your relationship with food, the next Somatic Eating® Program starts April 20th. Go to somaticeating.com to join the waitlist. Those on the waitlist will receive a special offer when doors open.

Satiated Episode 159: What Does The Non-Linear Healing Journey From an Eating Disorder Actually Look and Feel Like?
Happy Satiated Saturday!
I started practicing yoga when I was 20 years old. It was the first practice I had ever engaged in that brought me closer into my body.
We often get these messages that embodiment practices will help us with mindfulness and find inner peace. But, the truth is that the act of doing something to bring you closer into your body can feel intense.
Food can often come in to support you in keeping yourself at a distance from your body that is holding on to past wounds, traumas, and emotions that feel too much to be with. Embodiment practices can also be a process of learning to sit in discomfort and make it more comfortable little by little.
Just like an onion, there will be many many layers to this healing journey.
In this week’s episode, I chat with Livia Shapiro, author of the Somatic Therapy Workbook, about what healing from an eating disorder can look like, what tools you will need to learn along the way, and the power of embodiment and movement practices.

Satiated Episode 158: How Your Sensory Experience of an Environment Can Increase or Decrease Patterns of Emotional and Binge Eating
Happy Satiated Saturday!
I always knew my environment affected me and meeting my husband, Ethan who is in environmental design, brought that to a whole new level.
He looks up so much to see the structure of a building and the ceiling that even our dog Tato looks up as well.
Over the years, we've explored the intersection between architecture and our relationship with food. So I thought it was about time to bring him on the podcast and dive in deeper.
In this week’s episode, Ethan and I talk about how our environment affects us, how we affect our environment, and how that can all affect our relationship with food and inform us of our bodily state based on the environments we feel drawn to being in.

The next Somatic Eating® Program is coming up in April. We further discuss your eating environment in the program. So, if you're curious about diving into this deeper, go to somaticeating.com and join the waitlist. You will be first to hear when the doors open.

Customer Reviews
A complete shift in personal power
Listening to Stephanie as a mentor and taking in her guidance, whether via social media, coaching sessions, or on the podcast, is life changing. After living with BED for nearly 2 decades, extensive therapy, and still not being able to heal this aspect of myself, her message and teaching has flipped a switch. Her knowledge + guidance is confident, delicate, powerful, and, for me, the answer i’ve been so deeply looking for.
Grateful
Listening to this podcast has really helped to uncover some layers of that disconnect I’ve had with my body. Highly recommend for anyone who has struggled with their relationship with food.
Excellent approach to binge eating and emotional eating
I love Stephanie’s somatic approach to binge eating and emotional eating. Every time I listen to this podcast I feel like she is speaking my directly to me. I also appreciate the practical suggestions she offers. Stephanie also brings on wonderful guests to the podcast to supplement her approach. I highly recommend the satiated podcast.
