    14. Why Focusing on Weight Loss is Counterproductive to a Healthy Weight with Kasey Shuler

    We are getting into one of the most misunderstood topics in wellness, the belief that chasing weight loss automatically leads to better health. In this episode, Kasey shares why that assumption can quietly pull people further from true wellbeing, both physically and spiritually.

    12. What Happens to Hunger with an Eating Disorder

    We’re breaking down what really happens to hunger cues during an eating disorder and throughout recovery, especially when hunger feels confusing, absent, or completely untrustworthy. This episode walks through how the body was designed to communicate hunger, what goes wrong when restriction or chronic dieting enters the picture, and why the loss of hunger signals is not a sign that the body no longer needs food. This conversation offers both clinical insight and lived experience to normalize the fear and uncertainty that often surround eating in recovery. In this episode, you’ll hear about how… Hunger cues can be confusing during eating disorder recovery. The body takes years to recalibrate hunger signals. Ignoring hunger cues can lead to their shutdown. Ghrelin and leptin regulate hunger as key hormones. Consistent nourishment helps restore hunger cues. Eating consistently is crucial for rebuilding trust with the body. Hunger can manifest in various ways beyond physical sensations. Structure in eating can aid recovery from eating disorders. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Hunger Cues and Eating Disorders 01:56 The Science Behind Hunger Cues 03:20 Understanding Ghrelin and Leptin 06:32 The Impact of Ignoring Hunger Cues 09:44 Low Power Mode: The Body's Survival Mechanism 12:31 The Importance of Consistent Nourishment 15:55 Rebuilding Trust with Your Body 19:35 Conclusion and Encouragement for Recovery Don’t forget to hit subscribe, rate, and review the show to help reach more people with the message of food freedom!

    11. What Does the Bible Say About Feasting, Fasting, and Gluttony with Anna Marie Long

    We’re unpacking faith, food, and healing with our second guest on the pod, Anna Marie Long, RDN, CEDS, a dietitian who is deeply passionate about integrating faith into the healing journey. In this conversation, we talk about what it truly looks like to invite Jesus into our relationship with food and body image and why that spiritual connection matters in recovery. Our conversation explores common misunderstandings around feasting, fasting, and gluttony, including how these practices are often misused or taken out of context within Christian spaces.  In this episode, you’ll hear about why and how… Letting Jesus into your healing journey is crucial. Feasting is often misunderstood and under-discussed. Fasting should focus on intimacy with God, not health. Praying about food guilt can help alleviate feelings of shame. Fasting can be approached safely and meaningfully. Gluttony is more about heart posture than food consumption. Judging others based on their eating habits is unhelpful. Understanding one's own heart is essential in addressing sin. Confessing struggles can lead to healing and support. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Faith and Nutrition 02:40 Anna Marie's Food & Faith Journey 09:36 Misconceptions of Feasting, Fasting, and Gluttony 10:34 The Spiritual Meaning of Feasting 17:09 Overcoming Food Guilt in Social Settings 20:29 Understanding Fasting: Spiritual and Psychological Aspects 30:46 Defining Gluttony: Heart Posture vs. Behavior 37:06 Closing Thoughts: Truth in Nutrition If you're looking for faith-based food and body freedom, Maddox Nutrition offers compassionate expertise to support both your nutrition and your faith.
