Do You Have To Play With Your Kids To Be A “Good Mom”? (with Dr. Shawn Hondorp)
Raising a strong-willed kid is harder. Even draining sometimes. Sitting on the floor and playing with toys felt like the worst to me.

But I love Shawn, and I had so much fun...

Episode 122. In deciding which episodes were worth replaying for you this summer, this one immediately came to mind for a few reasons.

I also think we need to keep having productive conversations across a variety of disciplines and we talk about some really cool ones in this episode!

3 Diet Culture Myths That Will Surprise You
Episode 45. You are Being Lied To I hate to say it, but it's happening early and often. To all of us. When I'm not getting angry about it, it's sort of fascinating. We actually have a pretty good sense of what constitutes evidence-based nutrition. But the diet and weight loss industry needs to complicate it so that we are reliant on their products. Their business model is designed to create repeat customers, not help us. They want to confuse us and convince us that some great plan is around the corner to save us from our misery. Having us obsess...

During our weakest, most stressful moments, many of us find ourselves staring into the fridge or pantry for comfort. Feeding our feelings is a common coping response to life stressors. In fact, 38% of adults admit to overeating or eating unhealthy foods due to stress. Using food to suppress or calm negative emotions is a temporary, short-term solution that does little to address the actual problem and wreaks havoc on weight loss goals. In addition, emotional eating often hides emotions and thoughts that are out of our awareness but still motivate many of our actions. Self-defeating behaviors, such as emotional eating...
