For years, health professionals have tried to boil nutrition down to calories in and calories out, particularly when discussing concerns about weight. It seems appealing to make it that black and white, but is it an accurate theory? In reality, it’s a gross oversimplification of nutrition, physiology, metabolism, and weight. There are far more variables in that equation, and today we’ll explain those variables and identify the drawbacks to the idea of calories in vs calories out.

Today we’re talking about how to build meals and snacks that are nourishing AND satisfying. Too often people think it has to be one or the other - eating either foods that make you feel good, or foods you enjoy. That either/or mindset is exactly what keeps you stuck in an all or nothing relationship with food. We’re here to show you another way! If you need help finding the balance between nourishment + satisfaction, we’ve created our Nourished + Satisfied cookbooks to do just that! Head to eatconfident.co/shop to see our Breakfast, Lunch, and Snack cookbooks. If you’d like more support + guidance in your process of becoming a Confident Eater, we’re here to help.

Are you eating for health or are you eating for weight? Contrary to popular belief, they aren’t the same thing. They get totally entangled because of diet culture, and in order for you to eat in a way that honors your health and shows respect to your body, it’s vital that you untangle them. That’s what we’ll help you do in this episode! Diets DON’T care about your health. In fact, dieting prioritizes numbers and rule-following over well-being. Dieting is all about manipulation, and it has hijacked “healthy eating”. We need to reclaim healthy eating, and we’ll help you learn how to find health without focusing on weight.

We are honored to have Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife back on the podcast! Today we're discussing how to strengthen your marriage relationship by healing your body image + improving your sense of self-worth. We work with many women to help them overcome disordered eating patterns + negative body image. We get questions from these women who worry about their changing body and their husband's opinion of their body. They may feel shame that their body doesn't measure up to what they think their husband wants, or they allow their negative body image to interfere with their ability to have an equal partnership in marriage. All of us have been sold the cultural lie that bodies shouldn’t change or that they should look a certain way, and it's easy to feel shame when we don’t fit that ideal. But we know that it's totally possible to build a mature and positive relationship with your body, regardless of your weight, size, or appearance. We want to help you respect + care for their body no matter your size, but we know th
