Is weight loss really the answer to health, happiness, success and self-love? In this episode, we explore weight-centric and weight-neutral approaches to health and well-being. I share my approach to weight neutrality, the advantages it offers, including the benefits for mental, emotional, and physical health. I also explore why a weight-neutral approach is far superior to the outdated and unsuccessful paradigm of a weight-centric approach and illustrate real-world outcomes through a series of short stories, showcasing the contrasting results of each approach.

It’s common to feel ashamed, physically uncomfortable and even fearful after a binge, or even after over-eating something you know makes you feel like garbage. But it's important to remember that it doesn’t define you and how we respond in the hours and days after these things happen, can play a large role in whether we keep ourselves stuck in binge eating patterns, or start learning to end them for good. In this episode, I’m sharing actionable strategies to help you do the latter. I'll explore some dos and don'ts and provide practical steps to help you navigate the aftermath of a binge so you can release feelings of shame and guilt, feel better faster and have some hope of actually breaking the binge cycle.

So tune in, and let's learn how to bounce back from a binge and move forward with confidence and self-love! For more, or to access the resources I discuss in the episode, visit www.ecet.online

In this episode, a conversation I had with E-CET client, Natalie. In it, we discuss her lifelong weight 'noticing', what about E-CET stands out the most for her, why she joined, what she was hoping to gain from the process, how the process is different than anything else she's tried in the past, some of the things that have changed for her since starting, what she loves most about it, how she's learning more trust and connection, and what advice she'd give to someone who is currently where she was when she started.

The truly healthiest way to eat is to eat whatever you want, whenever you want, even as much as you want. I’d even argue that despite what diets, “healthy eating plans” and really the whole health and wellness industry as a whole need you to believe, it’s the only way to actually eat healthy. In this (and the last) episode, I’m talking about the science of nutrition (the last episode), explaining why I say eating what you want is the healthiest way to eat and exactly what I mean (and don't mean) by it (this episode). Before you decide I'm nuts, give these two a listen.
