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! Guest Bio:

Melissa Landry MEd, RDN, LDN is a Registered Dietitian specialized in nutrition therapy and body image coaching for women who have experienced generational diet trauma.

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.

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.

Just when you thought the dietary guidelines had done as much damage as they could do… 1980s food pyramid, I’m looking at you… The FDA last week revealed their proposal for new categorization and labeling of “healthy” foods. That’s just freaking fantastic news on so many levels (not!)… But what specifically is the issue with their proposed new system? In this episode we are talking about our 99 problems, and how one of them is clearly not a labeling deficiency. Plus, we are talking butter boards – because, butter.

There are places we expect to be confronted with diet culture – like the gym, the grocery aisles, and the media… but how does it affect us when these toxic ideas creep into our safe spaces – like church, school, and the doctor’s office?

You are not going to believe which food is the OG of the superfood moniker! That alone is a story worth telling. So today we are talking superfoods… What are they? Where did the idea come from? Are today’s superfoods really super? Should I be paying attention to this? All your superfood inquiries addressed as well as the inaugural “Truth or Trash” segment that is going to be a regular part of the new podcast format! Glad you are back for season three!

Yes, I’m still here. No, the podcast isn’t ending.

And most importantly, thank you for being a loyal part of my community!

If you are part of my regular audience… I hope you will listen to this personal update where I share where I disappeared to the last month, what the unexpected hiatus has given me, and what Maggie v2.0 (or maybe we are already on 3.0 or 4.0?) looks like moving forward.

If you are brand brand brand new to my podcast, welcome – but I would invite you to go listen to literally any of the other 79 episodes before you start here. This would be kind of weird for you. It would be like explaining a breakup when you didn’t really know we were dating in the first place. Trust me on this one. LOL

Many of the resources I mention in this episode are linked below for your convenience.

Hope to connect with you soon for Season 3 of the podcast!
