Have you ever been made to feel like you are to blame for a medical condition like diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure or gestational diabetes? More specifically, have you been told that your body size has caused you to experience a particular condition? If so, you are not alone. Listen along as Julie Dillon helps unpack the unfair stereotypes often associated with being in a higher weight body. Episode's Key Points: The label of "obesity" as a disease is problematic. Being at a higher weight is unfairly associated with many stigmas and misconceptions. For example, anorexia nervosa at a higher weight is actually the most common way to experience it. Weight is just one anthropometric measurement like blood pressure, temperature, etc. It doesn't mean it causes any condition/disease but rather could indicate that we need to dig deeper for a root issue. No one is to blame for their body size nor is one's body size something to feel shame about. Simply being alive means we are valuable and wor

Physical restriction is NOT THE SAME as emotional and psychological restriction... even if you're eating "enough," bingeing can still occur if you feel mental restriction. Diet mentality is the bigger thing to break down when trying to break free from bingeing! Cravings are neutral things!! We don't need to feel shame about them. Emotional eating and binge eating a

Send your Dear Food letter to LoveFoodPodcast@gmail.com. If you feel like a failure because you can't lose weight or keep it off, know you are not to blame. Diets have failed you. Dieting predicts weight gain. Dieting promotes the idea of body hate and conditional acceptance. Does a deeper understanding of diet culture, its toxicity, and manipulation make you angry? Stay with it! It's ok to not accept your body. You are acceptable the way you are today. The end. Your body is acceptable no matter what. Oprah Winfrey joined weight watchers and Julie's mind was blown to see diet culture and its reign make one of the most

Are you caught up in the mania that is motherhood? Do you find yourself feeling fatigued when it comes to making decisions regarding your kids' food choices? Does it feel as if your own relationship with food is being challenged? You're in the right place. Julie Duffy Dillon provides a heart-to-heart on this rewarding, but often exhausting stage. Episode's Key Points: Parenting often triggers many forms of stress. Finding ways to complete tasks in more efficient ways can help relieve some of this anxiety. If you have a history of an eating disorder or disordered eating, you may find these old behaviors and ways of coping return as you are dealing with the challenges of parenthood. Eating for comfort and emotional eating are both very normal human ways of coping. It is not the food choices that are concerning but rather the self-shaming thoughts and feelings we have around the choices we make. When these thoughts come up, call them out for what they are and provide self-compassion. Connecting with

Episode's Key Points: Special guest Melissa Toler, former wellness coach turned writer, speaker, and educator.

Do you feel like you have no willpower when it comes to food? Does it seem like you will never get out of the cycle of dieting and bingeing? Are you even wondering if you may have a food addiction? Listen along as Julie Duffy Dillon provides insight on your next steps. Episode's Key Points: Nutrition Myth: Calories in, calories out is the key to weight loss.--->Fat phobia is actually at the root of this false message Intuitive Eating will help bring about peace with food and your body through rebuilding connections with your body and allowing food to be consumed for both fuel and pleasure. Taking steps to dismantle our fat phobic system and move towards body liberation is key to promoting health for us all. Our worldview of bodies is broken, not our bodies. Research shows that diets don't work for most people. Saying someone is addicted to food is like saying they're addicted to oxygen, water, warmth, and sleep --->we need all of these to stay alive; "We can't be addicted to somethi

Do you ever feel guilt for eating certain foods? Do you fear judgement about what other people will think about your body or food choices? Do you ever catch yourself labeling food "good" or bad?" Are you finding it difficult to feel at home in your aging body? Listen along to this week's episode as Amanda Martinez Beck helps provide meaningful reflection. Episode's Key Points: Special guest: Amanda Martinez Beck, co-host of the Fat and Faithful podcast Typically, we feel shame when we feel as though we have failed at meeting some type of expectations. When processing body shame, it is often helpful to turn the conversation to, "What is the purpose of my body?" and being able to shift our understanding of its purpose from being a means to control life's uncertainties to being a bridge of connection to other people. Quote to live by: "All bodies are good bodies"--because all types of bodies can form connections with others. Our aging bodies tell our stories and reflect o

Have you been trying to recover from your eating disorder yet constantly slipping back in? Been in and out of treatment? We hope you know you are not alone. Check out this week's featured Dear Food letter and listen to the wise and compassionate wisdom from Corrie Van Horne and Melissa Preston. Episode's Key Points: Special guests: Corrie Van Horne and Melissa Preston, both Licensed Professional Counselors (Corrie is a candidate) and Registered Dietitians, co-founders of Omni Counseling and Nutrition. Many with eating disorders find themselves going in and out of various levels of treatment throughout their recovery journey. Transitioning out of a higher level of care where there is fairly constant support can be challenging in many ways, particularly when it comes to "normalizing" one's relationship with food. Oftentimes, our relationship with food and how we perceive it, mirrors other relationships and forms of oppression in our life. Autonomy and self-compassion are both powerful tools
