Anxiety. Perfectionism. Low-self esteem. These are all things you may have experienced along your food freedom journey (I know I have!). Whether it shows up in the form of worry about your food choices, needing to feel a sense of control with food, having unrealistically high expectations of yourself, trying to motivate yourself through sham and self criticism, all-or-nothing thinking, or feeling like a failure – we talk about it all in this episode! 

We truly dive DEEP into uncovering what’s really going on beneath anxiety, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. And of course, our lovely guest, Dr. Regina Lazarovich, PhD, shares tips with you about how to navigate these things as they show up on your journey to heal your relationship with food, your body, and yourself. 



In this episode, we chat about: 


What anxiety is & how it shows up in your relationship with food 
Worries and stresses about your relationship with food
The feeling of needing a sense of control 
How to actually move through & find relief from emotions like anxiety 
Perfectionism in your relationship with food 
How self compassion can be your super power
The difference between self-esteem and self-worth
How to feel more inherently worthy
And LOTS of tips to actually implement this stuff into your day-to-day life!

I’ll take any opportunity to call out diet culture BS when I see it. The recent Washington Post article “As obesity rises, Big Food and dietitians push ‘anti-diet’ advice” has quite frankly p*ssed me off, and I want to talk about it with you! There is a large systemic issue at hand when it comes to Intuitive Eating, Health At Every Size (HAES), and weight-inclusive non-diet work. Biased publications, like the Washington Post, are spreading ignorant and misinformed information about what “anti-diet” really means. 



This makes me the most frustrated because I can only imagine how confusing it must be to see headlines like this when you are someone who is trying to pursue your relationship with food & body healing journey. So in this episode, I want to set the record straight. Let’s dive into some big myth busting about anti-diet work! 



I chat with you about:


The recent Washington Post article on “anti-diet dietitians” 
What people often get wrong when they think about anti-diet or intuitive eating
How anti-diet does NOT mean eating twinkies in unlimited amounts
Anti-diet DOES mean improving your well-being – physical, mental, emotional, overall! 
What Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, weight-inclusive care, anti weight bias, etc. are really about 
How oppressive, inequitable, and harmful weight-centric ways of approaching health can be
Restrictive diets often leading to weight cycling and/or disordered eating, or even eating disorders 
How a surface-level look at intuitive eating is not helpful, it’s very nuanced 
To not rely on social media solely for support in your health & well-being 
And so so much more.

Have you found yourself wondering, “Why do I feel out of control around food?! What’s wrong with me that I’m like this?” First of all, there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re wonderful just as you are. There’s an explanation for why you’re feeling so out of control around food, and it’s truly not your fault.
