Dr. Jenn Salib-Huber: Making Peace with Your Body in Midlife

Watch the podcast, above, or listen below.

 

My friend Jenn Salib-Huber is a Registered Dietitian, Naturopathic Doctor, and intuitive eating advocate who provides health and hormone education to women in midlife without a side of diet culture, so they can make peace with food, aging, and hot flashes and find the confidence they deserve in midlife.

In this episode of Bite-Sized Balance, Jenn and I discuss the concept of “un-dieting your life”, body neutrality v. body positivity, the second peak of body dissatisfaction that occurs in perimenopause, the real factors that contribute to our weight regulation (they're not what you think!), and why weight loss will never protect us from a negative body image.

We also discuss how we, as mothers, can help break the generational cycle and give our kids freedom from body image issues. 

I reflect on my experience with weight and intuitive eating principles after ditching the scale five years ago and moving...

Victoria Yates, RN-BSN: Body Image & Food Freedom

Watch the podcast, above, or listen below.

Victoria Yates, RN & Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, is passionate about helping women ditch diets and stop hating their bodies.

In this episode, Victoria and I discuss why quick fixes don’t work when it comes to our weight, why intuitive eating is the answer to freedom from food, and how we can start listening for the language we use around our body image and change it if it’s not serving us. Victoria explains how to harness the brain’s incredible ability to create a new set of thoughts that are rooted in self-love, and the freedom women gain from making that shift.

Wendy shares the surprising things she learned when she ditched her scale over 4 years ago, and how she came to love her (slightly softer!) body after the bumpy ride of menopause (and decades of self-criticism.)

Dr. Jenn Salib-Huber, ND, RD - "What To Eat When You're Hormonal"

Watch the episode, above, or listen, below!

Jenn Salib-Huber, Intuitive Eating Coach, R.D. & N.D., and I discuss what’s going on with our bodies and hormones during perimenopause and menopause and what we can do to our hormones and wellness through a “food-first” approach.

Specific topics include: “Meno Rage” (that out-of-body experience of wild anger that our hormones can trigger!), the “mid-life pleasure deficit” and how that can affect cravings, emotional eating and the importance of an experiment mindset & self-compassion, why soy does not cause breast cancer, the role of estrogen in weight gain and why we should celebrate it, and mindful and intuitive eating as the key to food freedom.

This is a conversation all women should hear!

Christina’s Story - Finding Freedom from Food & Alcohol

 

Watch the podcast episode, above, or listen, below!

This is my first of (I hope!) many client interview episodes. I think you'll love Christina's story as much as I have loved being part of it!

At the young age of 12, when she realized she needed a size bigger pair of pants than her friend, Christina started down a lifelong path of dieting, weight loss, weight gain, and body shame.

Exhausted and physically unwell, she reached out to me one year ago, at the end of her rope and ready to try different, not just harder. My holistic approach to healthy change was something she’d never tried before, but by embracing curiosity and self-compassion, Christina was able to achieve her goal of true freedom from food. She felt so great, she then tackled her unhealthy relationship with alcohol.

Constant thoughts of food and alcohol no longer consume her, and she’s loving how present and joyful she feels in all aspects of her life. In this episode, Christina...
