  • Damaged by Dieting in Your Family of Origin with Melissa Landry RDN
    Nov 16 2022

    Where did it start for you? Even if you have been dieting or micromanaging your food for decades… you weren’t born this way. Did your mom take you to Weight Watchers with her as a child?

    Were sweets off limits at home because people were trying to “maintain” their size?

    Was it shopping with a grandma who wanted you to pick clothes “more flattering on you”? All of those narratives were likely the prevailing cultural standard at the time, and it is highly probable that those individuals were doing what they thought would be helpful and healthful. Fast forward… Now as the adult, how will you choose to process those feelings? What will allow you to set boundaries and protect yourself and your own family? Which relationships can be reconciled, and how can we do that decades later? It’s complicated, but this week’s guest is an expert in healing relationships that have been strained by generational diet trauma. You are going to hear tips that every child of a dieter can apply!

  • Ozempic: The Shot Heard ‘Round the World with Natalie Gentile MD
    Nov 2 2022

    All the cool kids are doing it, right? The newest, hottest, and perhaps most expensive trend in weight loss – the class of injectable GLP1 agonists – like Ozempic. Are these really “miracle drugs” or another passing diet fad? This week’s guest, Dr. Natalie Gentile who specializes in family and lifestyle medicine, is going to unpack this issue today about what these drugs do, how they may help or harm certain populations, and what impact the pop-culture obsession with these drugs is having on diabetic patients nationwide. Guest Bio:

    Natalie Gentile, MD is a family medicine and lifestyle medicine physician in Pittsburgh. She practices in the direct primary care model which gives her time and continuity with her patients, regardless of their insurance status. She is a mom to 2 and wife who is also a fitness instructor and entrepreneur.

  • Where Fitness Fits In with Sarah Kramer RN
    Oct 19 2022

    You know I spend a lot of time debunking the eating part of the toxic “eat less, move more” concept… but today’s conversation is going to focus on the fitness part of the equation. I’ve got a guest with professional and lived experience on both sides of the nondiet/body neutral “fence” as it were… and our conversation will enlighten and inspire you to find what movement could look like for you.

    All bodies welcome here! Sarah Kramer is a registered nurse and mom to two daughters that transitioned into fitness and intuitive eating coaching. She coaches women on how to consume food without letting food consume you.

    After years of dieting, over-exercising, poor body image and an eating disorder history, Sarah has overcome many obstacles, and as a result of healing her own mindset around these things, she now offers help for other women do the same.
