    Sometimes vs All-the-Time Foods

    Let's talk about food without the guilt, rules, or labels. In this episode, I'm sharing how my "Sometimes Food vs. All the Time Food" mindset can help you ditch diet culture, end emotional eating patterns, and finally make peace with your plate. We'll also get real about why artificial and processed foods, no matter how "healthy" they look, won't support your long-term physical or emotional health. If you're ready to rebuild your relationship with food — without perfection — this one's for you. ----------------------------------- Are you seeking a supportive hand on your fasting journey?  I'm here to provide the guidance and encouragement you need!  ACCESS YOUR FREE FASTING GUIDE, join The Fasting Support Club, Read my blog, and MORE: TheFastingFocusedLifestyle.com

    Controlling Binge Eating

    In this episode, we'll talk about how meditation and mindful awareness can help you take back control in the moment — especially when old habits or cravings try to take over. You'll learn how to recognize your triggers, set healthy boundaries, and set yourself up for success by auditing your environment and what you consume. And remember, sometimes what feels like hunger is really just thirst — so hydrate, slow down, and stay intentional.

    EP 84: You Are What You Consume

    What Diet Culture Doesn't Talk About

    Repeat after me: "Fasting is NOT a "diet."  If you treat this healing modaily as a fad or diet, it can unintentionally hinder your progress. Fasting is an innate and instinctual behavior that our bodies can benefit from, it is the oldest healing modality in recorded human history.  It can be initially challenging to break the habit of feeling like you need to eat all day to achieve your weight loss goals, this is what we grew up hearing. You may even find yourself still believing the broken rhetoric of conventional diet culture, believing that obsessively counting and restricting calories will lead you to be successful. This way of thinking is understandably hard to break if thats all you have ever known about successfully losing weight. This week we go over what diet culture DOESN'T talk about.
