You’ve probably heard this before, but it’s a good reminder that when we tell ourselves not to think about something it only causes us to think about it more. And guess what? This happens with food too. Tell yourself you can’t have bananas and chances are you’re […]

What does it mean to truly have self-love, body acceptance, and confidence? And does all that ever really have a place in the life of a busy, energetic, high-achieving entrepreneur, neurodivergent mom of two? Jenna Kutcher believes it’s possible because she found it and she lives it. Jenna Kutcher is the ultimate entrepreneur and mom […]
I want you to ponder an important question: WHAT WOULD “SUCCESS” LOOK LIKE FOR YOU IN TERMS OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD? Most people have one very specific way of measuring success when it comes to their eating and their bodies, and I think you can probably guess what that is…the scale. But here’s the […]
Given the work I do as an eating disorders dietitian, it’s pretty obvious to me that diet culture and disordered messaging about food, exercise, appearance and health are everywhere.

My hubby travels sometimes for work, and pretty much every time I have a freak out moment. It’s usually something that overwhelms me with juggling work + kids (e.g. sickness, tantrums, general lack of cooperation, running late, not sleeping well, you get the point…). I hesitate to tell him about the hard stuff, for […]

The food, diet, wellness and healthcare industries are full of jacked up disordered eating propaganda. And so much of it has become covert dieting messages in disguise.

The holidays impart all sorts of additional challenges for people with eating disorders. The seasons change, it gets dark earlier a night, our schedules are thrown off by , and all sorts of expectations are placed on us (by others and ourselves).

Self-care has become quite the buzz word lately. It’s definition has been corrupted by popular culture, to the point that it’s at times used as a joke.
