Do you have a disordered relationship with exercise? Is it difficult to enjoy moving your body without constantly thinking about how your body's aesthetics may change? Is it hard for you to separate nutrition and food from moving your body and fitness? Do you wonder if you'll EVER enjoy fitness again? Well, this week, I talk with personal trainer and anti-diet-culture CrossFit coach, Emily Decker. Emily is also a mental health advocate working to increase the body-friendliness of the fitness industry.

How our childhood affects our relationship with food and our bodies is an important discussion. It's no secret that for many of us, childhood is where we first heard words that our bodies weren't good enough or that we couldn't trust ourselves around food.  And it can be more paramount in families with other "dysfunctional" elements and brokenness. This week I'm talking with my friend, Elizabeth Oates. Elizabeth is an author, speaker, and mother of 5 who is passionate about helping women ditch the guilt and embrace freedom. After growing up in a broken family herself, she found real freedom beyond her childhood pains and wants to now spread that same truth to others. She wrote the book, Mending Broken Branches: When God Reclaims Your Dysfunctional Family Tree, and she is also podcast host of the show, Asking for a Friend.  In this interview, we discuss: What Elizabeth's definition of "dysfunction" is How Elizabeth's dysfunctional childhood affected her relationship with food and her body How her lack of a

Do you ever wonder if all the struggle is really "worth it?"  So many clients and patients I work with will inevitably reach a point where they feel completely stuck. They feel confused and hopeless and maybe even worthless. Realistically, they may feel even WORSE than they did when they were actively engaging in their eating disorder.  YES! True freedom from food and body obsessions is possible! And you are so SO close! But... It does take change. Uncomfortable, REAL, soul-gripping, spirit-inspiring change.  For all the resources mentioned in this episode and more information about my special guest Justin, visit: www.stefanireinoldmd.com/035

Can you develop an eating disorder and body dysmorphia even when you're in an already "thin ideal" body? YES!  No matter your body size or shape, we are all vulnerable to the impact of culture on how we view ourselves. Eating disorders are mental illnesses, and we cannot determine someone's emotional suffering based on what someone looks like.  In today's episode, I talk with dietitian, food blogger, and eating disorders professional, Sophie Bertrand. We discuss: Why Sophie became an eating disorders dietitian How Sophie's relationship with food progressed through her career training How her definition of health now includes chocolate and cake Effect of perfectionism on development of ED's How body obsessions can drive food obsessions How body size does not determine mental suffering How Sophie stopped weighing herself How healing her own body image helped her have more compassion for others and so much more! Sophie gives some really great actionable tips for helping you find what foods you actually enjoy!

How does someone get on a weight loss television show? What's it really like behind the scenes? How do doctors and the medical community affect our relationship with food and body?  As anyone who has ever struggled with food and eating issues can attest, our issues usually begin young and begin with unique motivations, usually involving some form of acceptance or health. In today's episode, I talk with former weight loss television show contestant and infertility warrior, Jacqui McCoy.  We discuss: How Jacqui first began her obsession with food and body (Spoiler alert: It has to do with her doctor!) Why we think that we need to lose weight to be happy Effect of dieting on relationships How she got onto a weight loss television show and her experience on the show and with media How PCOS and infertility affected her relationship with food and her body What Jacqui and Dr. Reinold think of having women in larger bodies on television shows and so much more!
