2025/02/03

Dr. Jenn Huber joins us to talk all about protein and how to approach eating with menopause in mind (hint, it’s not as scary as you’ve been led to believe!). It seems like every day, diet culture finds a new way to make us feel guilty for our bodies changing. It’s not news that women in menopause are a group preyed on by diet culture, but lately this pressure has been heavily centered around protein. We hear it in the news, on social media, and in advertising: How much is enough? Can eating a lot

Big picture, Abbie and Diana discuss how to approach mental health in a sea of diet and wellness misinformation -- including whether or not movement and nutrition have a meaningful impact on anxiety and depression.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), its connection to neurodivergence, and the misconceptions surrounding so-called “picky eaters.” We also discuss the intense pressure parents face from diet culture and social media, the impact of disembodying feeding practices on kids, and why “normal” eating doesn’t exist

Hi, my friends. In this last-minute episode, I am talking to you about election anxiety, and why times of political and personal uncertainty can stir up disordered eating thoughts and behaviors. From control to distraction, we often tend to turn to bodies as a coping tool. Join me for this brief (but hopefully meaningful) conversation about these thoughts, why they surface, and supportive tools to nurture yourself through challenging times.

Author and well-being educator Nakeia Homer joins us to talk about releasing things (habits, people, beliefs) we've clung to for years—sometimes decades. As Nakeia beautifully explains, letting go is rarely about the thing or person itself, but rather what it symbolizes for us. We discuss self-forgiveness, finding our people, making peace with other people’s opinions of us, and what real self-care is all about. Nakeia also walks us through the process of building habits that help us heal; that help

Summer returns for her second (!!) time on the pod to speak with Abbie about the challenges of body image during perimenopause.

This conversation takes a deeper look at what's happening as we age out of the beauty standard, the challenges we face with body grief, and how we can
