  • 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.

  • Thriving Despite our Fat-Phobic World with Ragen Chastain EP13
    Jul 11 2024
    Embracing Movement on Our Own Terms In a recent enlightening discussion with hosts Nina Manolson and Jennie Kramer, guest Ragen Chastain shares her experience with the often-complex relationship with movement. This conversation sheds light on how societal pressures and diet culture have influenced our views on exercise and body movement. The Influence of Diet Culture on Movement Ragen highlights the profound impact of diet culture on our perception of exercise. From a young age, we are taught to view movement as a preventative measure or punishment for weight gain, rather than a source of joy and well-being. She explains: “Diet culture starts so early... If from two years old you learn that movement is prevention of or punishment for being fat, there's no way to develop any kind of authentic relationship with fitness or movement" Shifting Perspectives on Movement Both Nina and Ragen emphasize the need to redefine our approach to movement. Instead of viewing it as a duty or punishment, they advocate for finding activities that genuinely bring pleasure and enhance our lives. Nina recounts an interaction with a client who was surprised by the idea that choosing enjoyable activities was an option to consider. Ragen adds that movement doesn’t need to be extensive or painful to be beneficial. Even small amounts of activity can have positive health effects, dispelling the myth that more intense exercise is always better. Health at Every Size and Medical Advocacy Ragen’s journey towards advocating for Health at Every Size (HAES) was driven by her realization that long-term weight loss is rarely sustainable and often harmful. She stresses that health should not be seen as a moral obligation or a measure of worthiness, but as a personal and individualized goal. The conversation also touched on the importance of systemic change in healthcare to accommodate all body sizes. Ragen points out the structural weight stigma in medical settings and stresses the need for inclusive healthcare practices. This shows up in all sorts of other parts of life as well. Jennie highlights this happens when we fly and the unkind way that things like smaller seats and seat-belt extenders impact us. Ragen explains how she handles that and highlights her privilege and shares why she chooses to be an advocate for herself and others. What can you do? Remember that movement should be enjoyable and tailored to individual preferences. Diet culture’s influence on exercise can be harmful and needs to be challenged. Health at Every Size promotes a weight-neutral approach to well-being. Systemic change is needed in healthcare to address structural weight stigma. · Be an advocate for yourself, ask for the support you need from your healthcare practitioner.

  • Food Prep Made Easy! Reframe Your Relationship with Food and Cooking EP 12
    Jun 27 2024
    Reframe Your Relationship with Food and Cooking This episode has co-host Jenny Kramer talking with co-host Nina Manolson about how she learned to cook. It also highlights our relationship to food and what that means to each of them. Together they explore the idea that cooking can be enjoyable and manageable for everyone, regardless of skill level or background. It challenges the notion that complex recipes and fancy presentations are essential for a successful kitchen experience. If you love cooking or if you find yourself feeling less-than-inspired to fix your own dinner, this episode will provide new insights that will have you looking at things in a new way. You’ll come away with a better understanding of why food can be self-care and what to do if you aren’t a “natural” in the kitchen. Find inspiration and new ways to think about food preparation, cooking and what can work best for you. · Cooking can be an act of self-care: Even if you're not a natural chef, preparing food for yourself can be a form of self-love and nourishment. It’s not just about following a recipe, it can also be about creating something you love. · Focus on what you enjoy: Instead of getting overwhelmed by elaborate dishes, choose simple recipes or techniques you find pleasurable. Cooking isn’t a performance, it’s a creation and it’s okay to do it your way. · Embrace imperfection: Don't be afraid to experiment and make mistakes. The goal is to have fun and create something edible, not achieve culinary perfection. It’s also okay to do what Nina did and make the same thing that you know you like and you know will turn out well. · Find your cooking style: There's no right or wrong way to cook. Whether you meticulously follow recipes or prefer to improvise, embrace your approach. Don’t feel restricted by rules if that bothers you, or follow a recipe to the letter if that means less stress while you’re in the kitchen. · Make it personal: Use cooking as a way to connect with your heritage and cultural background. Food is often a part of our traditions and celebrations. What was the special dish that you had on your birthday or what’s the passed-down-through-the-generations recipe? Can you make that or make it your own? Give yourself permission. Even if you don’t want to cook very much (or ever) give yourself permission to have food that you enjoy at home. Allow yourself to eat intuitively so when your body wants a piece of fruit or a bit of granola, you can have an option that you enjoy at home. We all deserve to eat well, to be patient and curious and have some fun making food that tastes good, provides nourishment and makes us feel cared for.
