  • The Silent Struggle: Midlife Eating Disorders with Betsy Brenner EP 16

    The Silent Struggle: Midlife Eating Disorders with Betsy Brenner EP 16
    Oct 8 2024
    Journey of Recovery and Healing in Midlife In this episode, hosts Nina Manolson and Jennie Kramer talk with Betsy Brenner. She shares her deeply personal story of battling an eating disorder in midlife and the profound lessons she has learned through her recovery journey. Brenner’s 2021 memoir, The Longest Match: Rallying to Defeat an Eating Disorder in Midlife, details her experience of emotional trauma, anxiety, and depression, culminating in a late diagnosis of anorexia. While Brenner’s story is unique, it shines a light on the often-overlooked issue of eating disorders in women beyond their youth. It’s Never Too Late to Heal Brenner’s message to women is powerful and clear: “It’s never too late to be a work in progress”. She emphasizes that healing is possible at any stage of life. Often, when people think of eating disorders, they imagine young women, but Brenner’s experience highlights that these struggles can affect women at any age. Her story resonates with those who have battled similar issues in silence, especially in a society where there is shame associated with vulnerability. Her story debunks the stereotype that eating disorders are exclusive to young women and reveals the depth of emotional pain that often goes unnoticed for years. Disordered Eating: It's Not About the Food One of the most impactful aspects of Brenner’s story is her realization that her eating disorder wasn’t really about food at all. This insight took years to uncover as she worked with her treatment team, who helped her understand that her behavior with food were symptoms of much deeper emotional struggles. Betsy shares that it was decades of internalizing all emotions that manifested in her unhealthy behaviors around food and exercise. The Perfect Storm Brenner describes a “perfect storm” of life events that triggered the escalation of her disorder, including her diagnosis with asthma and a return to tennis, which reignited fears around weight and control. "The eating disorder really took hold. I developed this intense fear of gaining weight and I felt so out of control with this chronic physical illness. I felt like a failure as a mother because I couldn’t be the on-the-go mother I was used to being." Her experience serves as a reminder that external stressors combined with deep-seated emotional struggles can be catalysts for disorders, particularly when left unaddressed for years. The Role of Vulnerability Brenner admits that she didn’t know it was okay to be vulnerable. Growing up in an environment where vulnerability was seen as a weakness, she learned to suppress her feelings, which exacerbated her struggles. It wasn’t until she embraced vulnerability that she was able to begin her healing process. She explains that her family, who wanted to support her, was unable to understand what she was going through and didn’t know how to help at first. It led to some isolation until Betsy was able to be vulnerable. She credits writing her story as a step to freedom from the anxiety around her diagnosis. By sharing her story and opening up about her journey, Brenner has found a renewed sense of purpose in helping others who may be on similar paths. Betsy’s journey is an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to begin healing. Through her memoir, she offers hope to women in midlife who may be struggling with eating disorders or emotional trauma. Her story encourages women to seek the help they need and deserve, no matter their age or stage in life. It’s a powerful message of resilience, vulnerability, and the possibility of transformation. Brenner’s words offer comfort to those struggling, providing a reminder that it’s never too late to start the journey toward healing and self-compassion.

  • WHY DIETS DON'T WORK EP 15

    WHY DIETS DON'T WORK EP 15
    Sep 24 2024
    Break Free from Diet Culture and Embrace Body Autonomy In today’s episode, Jennie Kramer and Nina Manolson talk about the pitfalls of diet culture, the emotional toll of restrictive eating, and the path to reclaiming your body autonomy. Both Jennie and Nina share personal experiences and insights from working with clients who have struggled for years with the allure of diets, promising a quick fix for deeper issues. As they highlight, the dieting cycle is often rooted in societal pressures—especially around body image—and perpetuated by a multi-billion-dollar industry designed to exploit our insecurities. Nina notes that many of her clients have been on over 10 different diets, lured in by the promise of thinness, success, and acceptance. But as both women discuss, the real "win" never comes from external validation. The Allure of Dieting Dieting is sexy. Not because it’s healthy, but because it's marketed as the magic solution to all of life’s problems. Jennie underscores this point, noting that societal beliefs about thinner bodies being better accepted fuel our obsession with weight loss. She points out that this is especially prevalent in the medical field, where many physicians wrongly assume that weight loss will solve health issues like high cholesterol, perpetuating weight stigma. The Emotional Toll of Restriction Jennie prefers the term “deprivation” to describe what happens when we diet. While diets might promise physical transformation, they also lead to emotional and psychological deprivation. As Nina elaborates, this deprivation disconnects us from our natural hunger and satiety cues, creating a pattern of chronic dissatisfaction and body shame. "Eventually, our inner rebel shows up and says, ‘Don’t take that away from me!’” Nina explains. This often leads to overeating, followed by guilt and shame, trapping us in a vicious cycle. The Path to Body Autonomy Rather than focusing on what to restrict, Nina encourages listeners to add in elements of self-care: sleep, hydration, variety, and pleasure. The goal is not to deprive yourself but to listen deeply to your body’s needs. Whether it’s respecting personal dietary triggers (like Nina’s experience with gluten) or giving yourself permission to enjoy food without guilt, the journey to body peace begins with understanding that you deserve nourishment. Breaking the Cycle They wrap up by examining the diet cycle’s inevitable fail. As Jennie eloquently puts it, "Dieting and restricting create a cycle of failure and shame, and the industry knows it. Every time you ‘fail,’ there’s a new diet waiting for you." Nina adds that real body autonomy comes from making thoughtful, educated decisions about your body—whether that’s trying a new plan or simply slowing down to enjoy your meals. In a world where diet culture is pervasive, Jennie and Nina’s conversation is a breath of fresh air, encouraging us to tune into our bodies and reject the notion that thinner is always better. This episode is a must-listen for anyone trapped in the cycle of dieting or looking to reclaim their relationship with food and their body. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Get Some Sleep! EP 14

    Get Some Sleep! EP 14
    Sep 17 2024
    The Critical Link Between Sleep and Your Relationship with Food In this episode hosts, Nina Manolson and Jennie Kramer discuss the importance of sleep and its profound connection to how we manage food, hunger, and overall well-being. Their conversation touches on the challenges that affect lots of women, from balancing busy schedules to managing the impacts of hormonal changes and menopause, all of which disrupt sleep patterns and influence eating behaviors. Sleep and Hunger Signals Find out how sleep deprivation affects your body's hunger cues. Jennie explains how the body often confuses hunger, thirst, and fatigue, making it essential to pause and ask, "Am I hungry? Thirsty? Or just tired?" This check-in allows us to respond to our body's actual needs, instead of mistakenly reaching for food when rest is what’s truly required. “When we don’t get sleep, our hunger hormones, ghrelin and leptin, are out of balance, making it harder to know when we're full." — Nina Manolson The Psychological and Emotional Impact Nina highlights how a lack of sleep puts us into survival mode, impacting not only our cognitive functions but also how we interact with others. It becomes harder to be present, patient, and compassionate with ourselves and others when we're sleep-deprived. This creates a cycle where exhaustion drives us toward quick fixes, often in the form of unhealthy foods, to manage our energy and emotions. “When we don’t sleep, we’re in survival mode. We’re not at our most heart-wide open because we’re just trying to get through the day." — Nina Manolson Sleep as a Form of Self-Care The conversation shifts to the broader theme of how sleep is an essential form of self-care. Jennie brought up a powerful reflection on how women tend to put everything and everyone else first, leaving no time for themselves to rest and recharge. Sleep becomes a casualty of this over-scheduling, contributing to burnout and emotional eating. "We tend to fit it all in: our roles as professionals, parents, partners. Everything goes in the same pot, but we have to stop and say, ‘I need time for me.'" — Jennie Kramer If you’re struggling with your relationship to food, consider how much sleep you’re getting. Sleep deprivation disrupts hunger signals, reduces patience, and leads to emotional eating. By prioritizing rest, you're investing in your overall well-being—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
