PRO Series: Non-Diet Approach to Health and Nutrition-S3 EP3

May 4, 2021 | Non-Diet Professional Podcast Episode | 0 Comments

Today we will answer two major questions I get when I teach health professionals about the non-diet approach.

Usually, these questions come right on the tail end of the first time being introduced to the Non-Diet Approach.

What are those questions that almost all health professionals have at their first encounter with the non-Diet approach?

But, what about health?

And

What about nutrition?

These two questions reveal how entrenched diet and wellness culture along with weight stigma in our education as a health professional.

It is very important to note that we, as health professionals, were blind to this. We were taught to teach our patient and client how to co-opt diet culture and fatphobia.

We have been trained and learned to believe that health can only result from dieting, thinness and restriction.

So when faced with an approach to health that doesn’t promote diet culture, dieting, weight loss or food restriction, we assume it’s not “healthy”…

Non-Diet Approach to Health and Nutrition

In today’s episode, we will be helping you navigate these two questions when encountering the non-diet approach for the first time.

But what about health?

But what about nutrition?

What you’ll learn listening to this episode of Non-Diet Approach to Health and Nutrition:

How to define health within a non-diet approach
The danger of viewing health as personal responsibility
Healthism
The social determinants of health
How to view nutrition within a non-diet approach
Gentle Nutrition

Digestive health… or as wellness culture calls it gut health is a hot topic these days.

According to wellness culture, many diseases could be prevented and treated with a gut health protocol. In short: restrictive dieting in the name of health with a side of supplements and detox sprinkle with infra-red sauna.

Gut health is a major concern for many people wanting to leave the world of diet culture. One question I get a lot is :

but what about my food sensitivities and intuitive eating?

281-Thought Work to Undiet Your Life – Part 2

Apr 1, 2021 | Mindset Podcast Episode | 0 Comments

THOUGHT WORK TO UNDIET YOUR LIFE

I want to teach you the basics of TW, and so I can teach you how specifically it applies to women and diet culture.

I believe that thought work is the most important skill a woman can learn. In fact, it is not taught in any schooling system… for a reason. Get into this in Part 2.

When a woman learns thought work, it is the best investment she can make towards because it solves every problem a woman can have.

Only when you learn to manage your mind can you truly be free, happy and fulfilled.

So let’s start with Part 1…

WHAT IS THOUGHT WORK?

You go to the gym to train your muscle to be stronger.
In the same manner, you go run to train your cardiorespiratory capacity to have more endurance.
You go to yoga to train your tendon and ligament to be mobile and flexible.

We train nearly every part of our body… but one.
We are taught to train all aspects of our body but the most important part of our body.
The most important… the one part of our body that actually controls all the others.
The supreme commanding officer of your body…

Your brain.

Why do I say your brain is the commanding officer? Well, it controls everything that happens in our body and our life.
Everything that happens in our body has its origin in our brain: from our heart beating to the movement in our legs to walk, to our food taste, to the size of our body.

Our body interprets our environment via our brain, and our brain produces thoughts in order to give a command to the rest of our body in order to survive and thrive in this environment.

HOW DOES THOUGHT WORK ACTUALLY WORK?

In a very simplistic explanation, our brain is made up of millions of neuropathways. Think of it as a wire that touches each other in our brain, and when your brain wants to pass on a command to the rest of your body, neuropathways connect, wire touches each other and a signal of energy pass and command is sent to the body via the CNS, spine and nerves.

Most of this happens without you being aware. Imagine being aware of every command heartbeats… you’d go nuts. It said that a human has 60K thoughts a day… most of which you are unaware.

But some of these connections you are aware… conscious of: These are your conscious thoughts.

So the wire cross in our brains, a thought is created and the energy travels via the spine and nerves to the rest of our body. These are felt in our bodies as sensations.

Think here gut feelings, the tension in our shoulder, cold in our chest, butterflies… these are all sensations in our body that first were ignited by our brain and thoughts.

These sensations are what we name as emotions. Emotions are the interpretation of these sensations.

Our emotions are what ignites our actions. Think “gut reaction” … We take actions in life-based on how we feel… when we feel confident, we take bold actions, we ask the person we are attracted to out, we buy the things we’ve always been wanting….

We feel anxious… so, we mumble distorted words in the face of the person we like, we retract, we numb, we Netflix…. we eat.

The choices are our reactions to our emotions is our actions. Moreover, the sum of our actions creates the reality we experience.

That’s thought work.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE ON THOUGHT WORK TO UNDIET YOUR LIFE:

What is thought work
How does thought work show up in our life
The basics tenets of thought work
Why thought work is essential to women

279-Postpartum the Non-Diet Way with Jaren Soloff

Mar 18, 2021 | Health Podcast Episode | 0 Comments

In my opinion, being pregnant, giving birth, and raising a child is the most magical power of women.

In fact, our bodies as women are capable of creating life. That is to say, we have the power to bring another human to life.

Can we let that sink in for a minute? We create life.

Our bodies have the capacity to expand in such a way that we can create and develop another human life.

Yet as soon as women are done giving birth to this new human, patriarchy and diet culture expect women to shrink back their body and leave absolutely no trace of this magical act.

Diet culture has perfected a narrative that leaves women to feel shame for their postpartum bodies instead of being grateful for the goddess they are.

Non-Diet Postpartum

The non-diet approach to postpartum is the space where women’s bodies are celebrated for the magic they created without patriarchy and diet culture oppressing message.

Our guest today is a non-diet postpartum expert. She’s a dietician who herself gave birth. She decided to dedicate her career to helping other women approach their postpartum in a non-diet way.

Jaren Soloff is a Registered Dietitian and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who combines her expertise as a skilled nutrition therapist and lactation consultant to support mothers in nourishing themselves and their babies with confidence.

FULL CRCL provides nutrition counselling and lactation consultations to help both mom and baby thrive in motherhood to support them in navigating pregnancy, birth and postpartum from a simple and intuitive framework.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode on non-diet postpartum:

How diet culture infiltrated postpartum
The non-diet approach to postpartum nutrition
Body image challenge post-birth
The weight-inclusive approach to lactation
How to find virtual coaching for the non-diet approach to post-birth

278-Co-opting Intuitive Eating & Embodiment with Evelyn Tribole

Mar 11, 2021 | Intuitive Eating Podcast Episode, Non-Diet Professional Podcast Episode | 0 Comments

Co-opting intuitive eating is frustrating, problematic and dangerous, but it’s not a surprise.

Intuitive eating is growing in popularity and growing fast. Take a look at the google trend search over the last 5 years.

It’s clear: people are starting to be done with dieting. That is to say, people want out from diet culture and are looking for options.

Certainly, the weight loss & wellness industry are paying attention. For instance, just think of Weight Watcher rebrand in 2019 to WW-Wellness that Works.

Yet another sign of the growth in popularity of Intuitive Eating is when “popular” diet gurus are bluntly co-opting intuitive eating in their weight loss books without even an ounce of shame.

In fact, I see the same growth in my professional training program. The waitlist is consistently 150% to program capacity for the last 12 months and no sign of stopping either.

Spotting Fake Intuitive Eating

I’m honored to welcome Evelyn Tribole to our podcast Going Beyond The Food Show to answer this question: How can we spot when diet culture is co-opting intuitive eating?

Her upcoming book, Intuitive Eating for Every Day: 365 Daily Practices & Inspirations to Rediscover the Pleasures of Eating will be available on March 16th, 2021.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

Evelyn’s take on co-opting of Intuitive eating by diet culture
Why intuitive eating is not a trademark
Your best defense against fake intuitive eating
Why embodiment is essential to becoming an intuitive eater
The reason why the act of dieting is a trauma
