If you’ve feared how your body will react to food, this episode is for you. Derived from a presentation given to Ashley Hurst and the Crohn’s and Colitis dietitians, I provide you a roadmap to move you from fear to flow with food.

Energy is one of the best indicators of health, but so many of us are living exhausted. It affects our life physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and otherwise. In the episode, I help you reframe this conversation about energy and get you to think differently about energy spent and gained, not just with food and movement, but in your life. What would you do if you had more energy? 🎧 Listen On Other Platforms: https://pod.link/1530414375 ▶️ Watch It On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZK40kngp3iW7dmpy6rPbSV4P20GmP-L7 👋 Connect With Me On Social Media: #️⃣ https://www.instagram.com/aliciabrown_ab/ 🔗 https://www.facebook.com/aliciabrownab 💬 Book a meeting: https://www.aliciabrownab.com/

Knowing how much to eat can be hard when trying to just “listen to the body,” especially if we don’t really know how to trust in it’s hunger/fullness cues. ✨ In this episode I breakdown a 3-part phrase, AIM, to help you connect with food and your body at meal times to discover (for yourself) how much to eat instead of relying on rigid rules for amounts so that you can rely on yourself to know how much to eat - for life. 🎧 Listen On Other Platforms: https://pod.link/1530414375 ▶️ Watch It On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZK40kngp3iW7dmpy6rPbSV4P20GmP-L7 👋 Connect With Me On Social Media: #️⃣ https://www.instagram.com/aliciabrown.rdn/ 🔗 https://www.facebook.com/NutritionwAlicia 💬 Book a meeting: https://nutritionwithalicia.com/work-with-me/

In the past, I would have FREAKED out, but this time, I was able to *stay calm* and sane (without going zero to 100) upon seeing my blood sugar be high on a recent blood test. In the episode I describe my situation, I explain how blood sugar works a bit, and lastly, I share how intuitive eating is so possible (and almost more important!) when suffering chronic illnesses. 🎧 Listen On Other Platforms: https://pod.link/1530414375 ▶️ Watch It On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZK40kngp3iW7dmpy6rPbSV4P20GmP-L7 👋 Connect With Me On Social Media: #️⃣ https://www.instagram.com/aliciabrown.rdn/ 🔗 https://www.facebook.com/NutritionwAlicia 💬 Book a meeting: https://nutritionwithalicia.com/work-with-me/

Do you feel your identity is in some way tied to being “the healthy one” or living a “healthy lifestyle?”. In a world of health, fitness and nutrition influencers, it can be hard to embody wellness rather than simply pretend to always do the “healthy” thing instead. In this episode, I share with you how to embrace the raw realities of living a life where wellness isn’t just practiced and/or played pretend,, but it’s instead, embodied. 🎧 Listen On Other Platforms: https://pod.link/1530414375 ▶️ Watch It On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZK40kngp3iW7dmpy6rPbSV4P20GmP-L7 👋 Connect With Me On Social Media: #️⃣ https://www.instagram.com/aliciabrown.rdn/ 🔗 https://www.facebook.com/NutritionwAlicia 💬 Book a meeting: https://nutritionwithalicia.com/work-with-me/

Cherie @foodfreedomtherapist and I have a robust conversion about weight, weight loss, intuitive eating, and our truest deepest desires in life. We talk about our perceptions about weight, the reality of weight, relevant research on the topic, and how we must confront our weight belief/mindset before beginning our intuitive eating journey. In the episode we more specifically discuss: ✨ How to trust ourselves, our bodies, and food to nourish us, and how diet culture fosters distrust around food, our body cues and ourselves. ✨ What are the deeper meanings of weight gain and weight loss? What meanings have we attached to weight and weight change? ✨Cherie shares some research about weight and how overweight individuals might be better able to withstand chronic conditions and cancer better than “normal” and “underweight” individuals.

Cooking enhances our experience with food and our ability to uniquely achieve satisfaction, but it overwhelms us. What to cook, how to cook better, how to prep meals that aren’t boring, and how to make the time to do any of that prevent us from getting in the kitchen. In this episode I discuss: ✨ Barriers to home cooking, why they’re valid, and how to overcome them. ✨ The importance of solidifying a mealtime/cooking rhythm ✨ How satisfaction brings nutrition, not the other way around. ✨ And I share two learnings from our spontaneous vacation this weekend… AND MORE.

The mind-body connection is (IMO) the biggest component of total wellness no one’s talking about, other than Casey Berglund. Casey believes you can strengthen your mind-body connection by recognizing the disconnected states (feeling anxious, frustrated and overanalyzing) and by coming back into our bodies to feel more grounded and whole. Casey will absolutely blow your mind in this episode, discussing... ✨ How diet culture keeps us disembodied in “all in our heads” when it comes to food and healing (and how 95% of the time, the anxiety isn’t about food). ✨How mind-body integration offers a deep sense of confidence in oneself beyond what changing one’s body size can provide. ✨ How to connect with discomfort in the body (the fear, anxiety, stress) in a way that’s serving, rather than avoiding it using food or other coping mechanisms.

The mindset “move to lose weight” is ingrained in our minds so much so that it’s made fitness feel like punishment for the bodies we’re in. Jamie thinks differently, believing that we build a healthy, sustainable and life-long relationship with movement when it works *with* our bodies, not against them. In the episode we discuss... ✨ Reasons to move/exercise other than weight loss and why removing weight loss from our motivations to exercise is important. ✨ How body comments, messaging, and stigma from diet culture get in the way of us honoring our body with movement (and how we try to “just push through instead). ✨ How an embodied approach to fitness builds body trust, helping us (actually) enjoy movement and exercise rather than hate in in hopes of achieving better health.

You’ve heard talk of a mind-body connection, but why is this important? Why do we talk about it? In this episode we dive into pillar 2 of “The Workshop” - a 6 month program I’m launching June 20 - and we discuss… ✨ The differences between embodied and disembodied experiences and feelings and their importance. ✨ How and why the nervous system engages (sometimes in ways we wish it didn’t) to protect us during triggering or stressful situations. ✨ How we can befriend our nervous systems so we can work WITH our bodies, rather than against it, by strengthening our mind-body connection and beyond.

You’ll leave this episode feeling empowered to tackle your “food and body stuff”.
