I'm joined once again by my husband, Vincent Yates, to discuss the quick and surreal birth of our son, Cillian (sill-ian) in honor of his 1st birthday this month. This birth was the complete opposite of our daughter and was truly an answer to so many of our prayers. From the birthday party that was supposed to happen that day to the epidural not working in time, this was a completely wild yet completely amazing day. By the way, I fully expected this episode to be 20 minutes, but here we are. Nobody is actually going to listen this this though, right?

For women who want to lose weight, the first reaction is to go on a diet. But do diets work for weight loss long term? Spoiler: NO! Why do these diets NEVER WORK? It feels like every time we lose weight as the result of a diet, we end up gaining it all back (sometimes with interest). I'm talking about the science of what that is and what we can do instead to save us all the heartache that dieting brings. Instead of throwing your hands up in the air a few months from now, let's save you the stress on the front end. Take a listen and get ready to find out why diets don't work and what to do instead!

Women struggling with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are often told to diet, lose weight, get on birth control, and then come back later when you want to get pregnant. This is a problem. As a woman with PCOS myself, I've found that this is the worst advice you can possibly receive. In this episode, I dive deep into PCOS and disordered eating with specialist, Megan Miller. Megan completed her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Western Kentucky University in 2016. She then went on to complete her dietetic internship through Morrison Healthcare, while also completing her Masters of Science in Nutrition from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2018. She is now a Health at Every Size Registered Dietitian, based out of the Indianapolis area. She specializes in disordered eating, eating disorders, and PCOS. Throughout her career as an outpatient dietitian, she has watched women struggle with failed diets, obsessive food rules, and poor body image. Her goal is to break this cycle and help women to live the life they deserve. megan@collab-counseling.com@collab.counselingOvasitol TOPICS COVERED 👇 LEARN MORE 🔥 My Signature 4-Month Program, Nourished & Free 📲 Follow me on Instagram (you'll get to know me pretty quickly ?) 📖 Check out my Blog for tons of helpful articles SHOW SOME LOVE ⭐️ Loved this episode?

The purpose of intuitive eating is not to lose weight, but what if we know our weight is not at a healthy place?
