In this episode, we talk about a trauma-informed approach to improving your relationship with food. We discuss how Intuitive Eating is often a great fit for those who've experienced trauma, especially when the trauma was directly or indirectly related to food and/or the body.

In this episode, we talk about self-doubt, what it is, contributing factors, and how to overcome it. This important topic applies not only to nutrition but so many areas of life. We touch on how practicing Intuitive Eating often carries over into so many other areas of life.

Satisfaction is completely different than being full after a meal or snack. We can be full without being satisfied with a meal. It's not that every meal or snack needs to be a perfect mix of flavors and textures that touches our soul and leaves us feeling completely content and satisfied. However, there is a very good reason that Intuitive Eating includes a specific principle for honoring your hunger, feeling your fullness, AND discovering the satisfaction factor. As with so many things in life, when we don't have some level of satisfaction, we are more likely to continue looking for that satisfaction, often in unhealthy or even harmful ways. In this episode, we talk about satisfaction and how important it is for all of us when it comes to eating, whether it be quantity or the specific foods we choose. =================================================== Rebecca Heald, Transformational Nutrition LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-heald-b9229b159/ Web: https://transformationalnutrition.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TransNutrition1/ IG: @transformationalnutrition1 Jeff Ash, Hope Drives Me Training & Nutrition LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-ash-7b004318a/ Web: https://hopedrivesme.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hopedrivesmenutrition IG: @jeffashfitness and @intuitive.eating.men

In this episode, we essentially invite our listeners to peek into our hearts and get a glimpse at some of the lived experiences each of us have had with abuse, eating disorders, and loss and how they have shaped our coaching, and how these common life experiences can impact our nutrition and fitness.

In this episode, we discuss an all too common problem: self-sabotage. Not only do we see this many times in our clients, but we have also experienced it numerous times in ourselves. It takes on many forms and can impact us in so many ways whether it be physically, psychologically, emotionally, socially, and even financially. Interestingly, many of the dieting and wellness "rules" that we try to force on ourselves are key contributors to this problem! =================================================== Rebecca Heald, Transformational Nutrition LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-heald-b9229b159/ Web: https://transformationalnutrition.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TransNutrition1/ IG: @transformationalnutrition1 Jeff Ash, Hope Drives Me Training & Nutrition LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-ash-7b004318a/ Web: https://hopedrivesme.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hopedrivesmenutrition IG: @jeffashfitness

In this episode, we talk about a super-common issue ... bloating. Bloating is something all of us experience at times. However, some people experience it much more frequently and in ways that cause disruptions in day-to-day activities. While bloating can have many different causes, we share some insights about: What is bloating? Some common causes of bloating (IBS, food choices, how we eat, etc.) Lifestyle and nutrition factors that can help minimize/reduce incidences of bloating =================================================== Rebecca Heald, Transformational Nutrition LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-heald-b9229b159/ Web: https://transformationalnutrition.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TransNutrition1/ IG: @transformationalnutrition1 Jeff Ash, Hope Drives Me Training & Nutrition LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-ash-7b004318a/ Web: https://hopedrivesme.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hopedrivesmenutrition IG: @jeffashfitness

This was another episode recorded live on LinkedIn. In this episode, we discuss nutrition on the go. Some of the key points we touch on include: The value of taking the time to properly feed yourself throughout the day Even feeding yourself something less than "healthy" is better than not feeding yourself at all Some ideas for quick meals and snacks The importance of including each of the 3 macronutrients (protein, fat, AND carbs) at each feeding opportunity How feeding ourselves appropriately helps us to regulate our overall food intake because of its role on our appetite and satiety If you found this discussion helpful, make sure to join us on LinkedIn where we go live every week to discuss similar topics and take your live questions!

As more and more begins to open up as a result of the vaccinations, many people are beginning to talk about, "the COVID 15" (or 20, 25, 50, etc.). Most of this talk of weight gain is done from a negative perspective ... a negative thing that needs to be fixed ASAP. How do people usually attempt to "fix" it? Yep, another diet. In this episode, we discuss a recent article written by Marci Evans, a certified eating disorder registered dietician titled, "COVID Weight Gain & What It Really Means." In one of the quotes from the article that sets the foundation for our discussion, Evans writes, "Because our culture almost always frames weight gain as a bad thing, it’s important to appreciate all of the amazing and vital ways our bodies fight to protect us. And yes, that includes weight gain during times of intense stress."
