Nourished & Free: The Podcast

You’re successful in every area of life… except food. You’ve tried the diets. The plans. The rules. The white-knuckling. And now you’re tired. Part of you wants to stop binge eating. Part of you is terrified of failing again. In this episode of Nourished & Free, I explains why what you’ve been calling “failure” is actually the most teachable moment in the entire process, and how to make failure your secret weapon. I'm breaking down: Good news, fam: You are not broken. Your brain is adaptable. Your patterns are retrainable. And, your setbacks can become stepping stones... if you let them. If you’re ready to stop spiraling and start recalibrating, this episode is for you. TOPICS COVERED 👇🏼 00:00 “What if I’m just broken?” (the spiral you don’t say out loud) 02:36 The “I knew this would Happen” spiral 09:26 Why one slip turns into “I’ll start over Monday” 17:17 Learning from a binge instead of letting it define you Send an anonymous love note, or suggest a future episode!

If you’ve lost weight before, but it came back... this episode is for you. Let's break down why weight loss often becomes the common denominator behind dieting burnout, binge–restrict cycles, and feeling out of control around food. Not because weight loss is bad, but because making it the main focus quietly changes how your brain and body respond to food. I'll talk through how obsessing over the outcome (the scale) clouds judgment, increases pressure, and actually makes consistency harder. You’ll learn why the scale is delayed, ambiguous feedback, and why using it as a daily pass/fail test often backfires and has the opposite effect you're wanting. This episode walks you through what changes when weight loss stops being the driver, how food decisions get quieter, and why rebuilding trust and safety with food leads to more ease, self-control, and long-term change (with or without weight loss). If you hate that you say, "It worked, I got the weight off... but then it came back", then this episode offers a mindset shift that could change everything.

SHE'S BACK!!! Cory Ruth (aka The Women’s Dietitian) is here to talk about her brand new book, PCOS Is My Power, and why she’s determined to make PCOS feel less like a life sentence and more like a gift. You’ll also hear a very real conversation about how restrictive PCOS advice (hello, “just do keto”) can backfire, especially if you already struggle with food noise, binge eating, or an all-or-nothing mindset. Bottom line: PCOS can be managed, your body isn’t broken, and you don’t have to eliminate your favorite foods to start feeling better (yes, you can eat pasta with PCOS… and dessert… and cheese).

If food feels like the background noise of your entire life, this episode is for you. GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Wegovy can quiet food noise dramatically. Unfortunately, this only lasts while you're actively taking the medication. For many, they can't stay on them forever or don't want to start them at all. Even still, there are some currently on a GLP-1 but the food noise has come back. What then? If you need a plan to reduce food noise more with or without being on a GLP-1, this episode is for you. TOPICS COVERED: The one truth most people miss? You’re not supposed to eliminate food thoughts entirely. The goal isn’t silence. The goal is peace. Food should take up 5% of your brain, not 95%. Start listening to learn how to make that happen.

What happens when you’ve spent your whole life thinking about food and your weight from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed… and suddenly your mind feels calm for the first time ever? In today’s Client Confessional, Heidi (now in her mid-60s) opens up about a lifetime of struggling with her weight, binge eating, food noise, and the constant mental chatter that dictated her every day. From Weight Watchers at 14, to lap-band surgery, to Overeaters Anonymous, to GLP-1 medications… she tried everything hoping something would finally “fix” her. But nothing touched the emotional and psychological roots keeping her stuck. And after decades of failures, she genuinely believed she was “too far gone” to change. Inside this episode, Heidi shares: weight loss strategies weren’t the issue—the emotional patterns wereIf your life revolves around food, if you feel stuck in cycles you can’t break, or if you’re scared that you’ve “tried everything,” this episode is the reminder you need: peace is possible at any age, you might just need to dig into your head a little more.

Due to popular demand, here's another episode on the topic of faith & food freedom or being a Christian woman while navigating a healthy relationship with food. I've boiled my thoughts down to 4 biblical truths I think every Christian woman (or man, really) needs to hear about honoring God with her body.... without making health an idol.

You can crush it in your career, manage a family, and hit every goal on your vision board… But your secret stash of food says otherwise 👀 In this episode, I’m breaking down why perfectionists (the high-functioning, Type A, “I’ve got this” women) are the ones MOST likely to binge in secret.

The book just left out a few key chapters. 🤣 In this episode, I'll review Brain Over Binge through the lens of an evidence-based dietitian who works with women struggling with binge eating.

Is Overeaters Anonymous (OA) a lifeline for food struggles, orrrrrr another "just don't eat it" diet in disguise? In this tell-all episode, I tap into the origins of OA, its 12-step model, and the red flags I’ve seen firsthand working with clients who turned to OA for help with binge eating and emotional eating. 🚩 You’ll hear the history, the philosophy, and the claims behind OA, plus the reasons why it might actually fuel food noise and binge-restrict cycles rather than solve them. I’ll also share better alternatives that are backed by research, compassion, and long-term sustainability.

Binge eating isn’t just something that happens when you’re stressed out with a pint of ice cream; it’s often built into the culture of certain sports.

My husband Vincent and I are unpacking Netflix’s brand-new documentary Fit for TV, a deep dive into The Biggest Loser. We're sharing our thoughts on the stories, scandals, and shocking truths behind one of the most infamous weight-loss shows of all time. Whether you have seen the doc or would rather skip it and hear what someone else thought, I think you'll enjoy sitting in on our thoughts after watching. From “temptation challenges” to behind-the-scenes medical battles, we've got plenty of unfiltered thoughts on what the show got wrong, what the documentary revealed, and why shows like this shaped an entire generation’s views on weight, health, and self-worth. Expect plenty of "did that seriously happen!?", marital bickering, and some metabolism 101. Also, highly recommend listening on 1.2x speed.

Today I’m joined by my former client and licensed therapist Julianne — who brings the perfect mix of clinical wisdom and “yep, I’ve been there” energy to this conversation. She gets honest about what brought her to Nourished & Free® in the first place — think postpartum chaos, generational baggage, medical trauma, and some real mixed signals from both church and culture about what her body “should” be. We get into the messy, often-ignored space where faith, food, and body image collide — and talk about what it actually means to honor God with your body (hint: it’s not obsessing over every calorie or shaming yourself into submission). We cover everything from performance vs. perfection to raising daughters in a world that still acts like thinness = holiness. Whether you share our faith or not, this episode is packed with raw honesty, relatable “oh my gosh, same” moments, and some hard-hitting truths about food shame, body image in the church, and finding freedom in the gray area. If this conversation hits home and you're tired of doing this food + body image stuff alone, Nourished & Free® might be exactly what you need. It’s my group coaching program where we ditch the guilt, unpack the shame, and rebuild your relationship with food in a way that’s actually sustainable (and not miserable). Learn more or apply here.

Your Chiropractor’s Not Gonna Love This Episode 😬 I sat down with Trevor Zierke, DC, a disillusioned chiropractor who has a LOT of dirt to share on his field. We dig into the wild world of chiropractic care, from sketchy X-ray sales tactics and essential oil upsells to why some chiropractors think they can cure literally anything with a back crack. We talk red flags (like telling you they can fix your PCOS), green flags (like knowing when to refer out), and why your posture probably isn’t the root of all evil. Trevor also breaks down why some people do feel better after seeing a chiropractor—and why that doesn’t always mean it’s the adjustment doing the work. If you've ever been told your spine is to blame for your kid's ADHD, endo, reflux, or mood swings… buckle up.
