OUTWEIGH: In the final part of our holiday series on Outweigh, Amy and Leanne explore the transformative power of self-acceptance as the greatest gift we can give ourselves during the holiday season.  Amy introduces the idea that self-acceptance is often overlooked in holiday conversations, yet it is the key to fully enjoying the festivities. They discuss why prioritizing self-acceptance matters more than striving for self-improvement during the holidays and beyond, emphasizing the shift from self-criticism to self-compassion as a pathway to peace rather than productivity. Leanne shares how this is actually the missing link to find peace within yourself and your body, and  she also recounts a powerful story from a client whose embrace of self-acceptance completely transformed their holiday experience, positively impacting their relationships and overall joy. As we close out the series, it's all about reminding you that the greatest gift of all is the freedom to embrace who you are—just as you are.

OUTWEIGH: In the third part of our holiday series on Outweigh, Amy and Leanne tackle a topic that resonates with many women during this time of year: dealing with fears of holiday weight gain and body anxiety. Amy sets the stage by acknowledging how these fears can intensify with the increased focus on food and body image that the season brings. Leanne delves into the root of these anxieties, explaining that the fear of weight gain often stems from deeper self-worth issues rather than just the number on the scale. You'll learn how to reframe the holiday season as an opportunity to prioritize mental and emotional well-being instead of fixating on weight. By inviting you to detach from external pressures and celebrate your bodies for what they can do, you'll learn how to take a more compassionate approach to the holidays, so you can embrace the season with less pressure and more self-love.

OUTWEIGH: In the second part of our holiday series on Outweigh, Amy and Leanne address a challenging topic: handling "food pushers" and unsolicited comments about your body during family gatherings.  Amy introduces the discomfort and triggering nature of these situations, while Leanne helps listeners understand the motivations behind food pushing—often rooted in cultural norms or personal love languages—and explains how unsolicited comments about weight typically reflect the other person's issues rather than your own. Together, they provide practical tips for setting boundaries without guilt, offering polite yet firm responses to food pushers and examples of how to address unwanted comments about your body respectfully while protecting your peace.  To further support you, there's also a helpful PDF with scripts and cheat sheets, equipping you with the tools you need to navigate these tricky situations during the holidays confidently.

OUTWEIGH: Welcome to the first part of our holiday series on Outweigh, where Amy and Leanne tackle a challenge that many listeners face during this festive season: navigating holiday gatherings without the burden of food guilt.  As the holidays approach, the temptation of indulgent foods can lead to feelings of being "out of control." We dive deep into understanding the roots of food guilt, often stemming from black-and-white thinking and the typical dieting culture that surrounds us. We'll explore how this "all-or-nothing" mentality not only perpetuates guilt but also fuels a cycle of overeating followed by restriction. We talk about the importance of shifting from a 'scarcity' mindset—where indulgence feels like a last chance—to an 'abundance' mindset that fosters a healthier relationship with food. And we will share practical strategies and real-life examples from clients' journeys to illustrate this shift, making the holidays a time for celebration rather than guilt.

OUTWEIGH: Deedee has spent decades as a leader and source of strength in her community, supporting and guiding others while struggling silently behind closed doors. Her battle wasn’t with her role or her responsibilities—it was with food. For years, food felt like her secret demon—something she couldn’t seem to conquer, no matter how much discipline she tried to muster. Despite her outward success and commitment to helping others, food had a grip on her life that left her feeling ashamed, defeated, and isolated. Even though she was always giving so much of herself to others, she felt empty and disconnected when it came to her own health and relationship with food. It was a struggle she felt she had to face alone, with no one to confide in. But everything changed when Deedee finally made the choice to confront her relationship with food at its root. She realized that it wasn’t just about dieting or controlling her willpower—it was about healing the emotional wounds and unraveling the stories that were keeping her stuck. In this episode, Deedee shares her powerful transformation journey of breaking free from the grip of food and reclaiming control of her life. If you’ve ever felt like no one would understand your struggles, or like food has a power over you that you can’t break free from, Deedee’s story is a reminder that true freedom is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever stood in front of the mirror, repeating mantras like “I love my body” or “I’m enough,” only to feel that little voice in your head whispering, “Who are you kidding?” In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne Ellington breaks down why the “just think positive” approach doesn’t work—and what’s really keeping you from truly loving yourself. Leanne gets real about her own struggles—how she grew up battling food and body shame, even after losing nearly 100 pounds, and why it took more than weight loss to break free. She explains why so many women get stuck feeling like self-love and positivity are unattainable, and how those feel-good mantras can actually make you feel worse when your brain doesn’t buy into them. So what’s missing? It’s the brain wiring beneath the surface that no amount of mantras or affirmations can fix. Leanne shares how negative beliefs and self-criticism get hardwired into your brain and create resistance—leading you to feel like a fraud. And why jumping straight to self-love can backfire if you haven’t addressed those deeper stories and beliefs that are running the show.

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever felt like you’re carrying a heavy secret—one that no one knows about? In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne Ellington dives deep into the struggle that so many women face but rarely talk about: feeling trapped in a hidden battle with food, body shame, and self-judgment. Leanne opens up about her own experience of being stuck in a “food and body prison” while presenting a happy face to the world. She breaks down how shame isolates us, making us feel broken, and why this isn’t just about food or weight—it’s about the stories we tell ourselves and the shame we carry silently. Through real-life examples of her clients’ struggles—like the superwoman hiding her midnight binges or the woman avoiding social events out of fear of being judged—Leanne explains why no diet, workout plan, or mantra will break this cycle. The solution isn’t another diet or exercise routine. It’s healing your self-image and rewiring the relationship you have with yourself. If you’ve ever felt like food struggles were your “dirty little secret” and wondered why you can’t just “get it together,” this episode is for you. Leanne shows how breaking free isn’t about more willpower—it’s about breaking out of the shame prison and reclaiming your sense of self-worth.

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever found yourself making promise after promise to “start fresh on Monday” or “stick to your plan this time,” only to fall off track again and again? If so, you’re not alone—and today’s episode of Outweigh is for you. In this powerful episode, Leanne Ellington tackles the struggle that so many women face: breaking the cycle of broken promises and learning how to rebuild self-trust. Leanne opens up about her own journey and explains how every broken promise and failed diet creates memories that get locked into your brain, forming a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure and eroding your trust in yourself. This cycle isn’t just about food or exercise—it’s about the emotional weight you carry when you feel like you can’t follow through. Tune in as Leanne shares why typical diet and fitness plans fall short: they address the surface-level symptoms but not the root cause—your brain’s wiring and self-image. It’s not about “fixing” yourself—it’s about transforming your self-image and rewiring your brain for sustainable success and self-trust.

OUTWEIGH: Ever felt like a sugar addict? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to break free from its grip? In today’s episode, Leanne Ellington dives deep into the brain science behind those relentless sugar cravings and why it’s not about willpower or discipline. She shares her own struggle with food and body image—starting from a childhood weighed down by diet culture—and the truth she discovered along the way: that sugar cravings aren’t about the food at all-- they are about the BRAIN. Leanne explains how our brains get wired to seek out quick fixes like sugar, social media, or Netflix to soothe emotional discomfort and why these “quick hits” of dopamine leave us feeling overfed but still emotionally and mentally undernourished. This episode will change how you view your cravings and help you understand what your brain really wants (hint: it’s not more sugar!). Leanne also offers practical tips to rewire your brain and stop the cycle of cravings for good, starting with recognizing your true emotional needs and finding healthier ways to meet them. If you’ve ever felt controlled by food or like you’re stuck in a cycle of restriction, bingeing, and guilt—this episode is for you.

OUTWEIGH: Susan had been living in a 40-year food and diet prison, and she didn't know how to get out. Diets eluded her, and even though she had hope that there was a better way to go about her relationship with food, her body, and her health, she was almost at that point that she felt helpless. Food and her body was a topic that carried a lot of shame and guilt. And she had almost completely convinced herself that this was "just the way things were going to be". Her relationship with herself and those around her was suffering which added another level of guilt caused by not showing up as the woman, wife, mom, and therapist that she knew wanted to be. Feeling she had tried everything under the sun, Susan scheduled a call with me and took a leap of faith to finally commit to herself. Accepting that the road to peace, love and happiness with herself was a long term game, she began taking steps toward healing her body & mind and reclaiming her life-- not committing to another diet. And as you'll learn, it's never too late!In this interview she shares how her 54-year old therapist self got her life back, took back her power, and broke free from a 40-year food and dieting PRISON!

OUTWEIGH: In this final episode of the Outweigh Q&A series, we’re diving into a listener question about Orthorexia. While pretty much everyone knows what an Eating Disorder is, most have never even heard of this thing called Disordered Eating. An even lesser known (and talked about) form of Disordered Eating is something called Orthorexia. Orthorexia is when someone takes their health to an extreme, and they inhabit an excessive preoccupation or obsession with eating healthy food. According to The National Eating Disorders Association Orthorexia entails: Obsessive focus on food choices, food regarded primarily as source of health rather than pleasure; distress or disgust when in proximity to prohibited foods; periodic shifts in dietary beliefs; moral judgment of others based on their dietary choices; body image distortion; persistent belief that dietary practices are health-promoting despite evidence of experiencing malnutrition...and the list goes on, and on, and on. And because of all of the misinformation that's being thrown at us, Orthorexia is spreading like a wildfire -- ESPECIALLY in the female population. The EFFECT of all of this? An extremely DISORDERED relationship with food. And if you're like most women out there, you've been exposed to the 'Dark Side' of the health industry for a very long time, and it's super important that you know what to look out for to make sure that YOUR health journey....stays....healthy! Listen in to an interview with Leanne and Laura Lea Bryant where they unpack this super-important topic (and Laura Lea shares her personal experiences....and her experience as an influencer in the health and wellness world).  HOSTS: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmy Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington GUEST: Laura Lea Bryant // llbalanced.com // @Lauraleabalanced To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 5 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts. This week we’re diving deep into a crucial part of the food and body image conversation—what Leanne likes to call your “body brain.” If you’ve been following along, you know we’ve been exploring how faith intersects with our struggles around food and self image. Today, we’re turning our focus to the physical side of things, and how your body (and your perception of it) are deeply intertwined. We’ll be looking at this from both a nervous system and physiological perspective, but we can’t ignore the importance of how you view your body and your relationship with it.This episode isn’t about offering a quick fix; it’s about helping you understand the deeper layers that contribute to your struggles. Leanne also shares her personal journey of overcoming her own body image (and chronic pain) battles, so you can see that real, lasting change is possible...but it starts with breaking the chains of your own harsh self-criticism, guilt, and shame. The hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll feel empowered to start dismantling your own beliefs and step into a new story about your body. Remember, this isn’t just about what you weigh or how you look—it’s about freeing yourself from the heavy burden of judgment and stepping into a place of peace and self-compassion.  HOST: Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk about how inviting God into your journey can help break those chains, allowing you to step into a new identity rooted in peace, love, and TRUE freedom.We explore the concept of the "food brain" and how it’s wired to seek comfort and connection through unhealthy coping mechanisms like overeating, mindless scrolling, or other habits that distract from what your soul truly needs. This episode isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level solutions; it's about understanding the root of your struggles and learning to meet them with compassion, solution-focused care, and faith.If you’re ready to shift your focus from fighting with your body to truly healing your relationship with food, this conversation will guide you toward that transformation, with God right by your side.

OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 3 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.Last week, we explored the big picture of this conversation, and this week we narrow the focus to the self-image and identity piece of this food and body puzzle. We discuss the necessity of stepping into a new version of yourself if you really want to achieve true health and freedom in your relationship with food and your body.We talk about WHY transforming your self-image is crucial on a neuroscience level, and how it's not about what you eat--  but who you truly believe yourself to be. Only this time around, you're invited to address the roots of your identity and self-image in a way that aligns with God's view of yourself, instead of worldly and societal standards.And of course, we get a little 'geeky' and explore the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), and its significant role in self-perception, emotional and physical pain, and your coping mechanisms, AND how this is particularly important for women, whose ACCs are more active than men's. Throughout the episode, you'll hear scripture AND evidence-based research that supports the transformative power of faith. Dive on in to learn how integrating faith and science can lead to building YOUR new identity, free from the burdens of shame and self-rejection, and discover what it truly means to see yourself as God sees you.

OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 2 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts. Today, we're diving deep into the intersection of faith, science, food, and body image. This is the big picture conversation -- where these themes overlap, so you can simply understand this connection between neuroscience and faith...and how it can lead to meaningful, lasting transformation in our lives. Leanne shares (for her) how embracing this dialogue meant confronting her skeptical, science-driven mindset and inviting a God-centered perspective into areas she was  previously tackling through her own might, and how this approach completed her story and aligned with her fascination with the brain and nervous system. She addresses topics like: Why do our brains play tricks on us? Why do we do what we do? Why can't we seem to shake life-long habits? With references to biblical scripture and modern neuroscience studies, Leanne highlights the transformative power of aligning your thoughts with a higher spiritual perspective. And of course you are invited to invite God into the conversation, recognizing that true transformation involves cultivating a new identity rooted in faith and understanding the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit...and self-image.  HOST: Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Tale of 2 Roots Infographic Dr. Lee Warren Episode Part 1: Beyond the Scalpel: A Neurosurgeon's Tale of Loss, Faith, and HopeDr. Lee Warren Episode Part 2:  From Neuro-Hope to Neuro-Faith: Rewiring the Brain with God as the SurgeonAnd here's Leanne's interview on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast: Break Free from Self-DoubtSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: We are so excited to bring you the first official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.  If you have been listening to Outweigh, you know that THAT podcast is all about helping women break themselves out of the food and body prison, end the dieting madness, and take control of their health for good, but without all that restriction, obsession, and shame…and without dragging it out for years to address it. And if you’ve been listening to "What’s God Got To Do With It?", you know that it's all about the fusion of where science meets Faith and where faith meets transformation and miracles.  So this crossover series is a beautiful opportunity to talk about the crossover of where science meets food…& body image… & self image struggles…AND where THAT intersects FAITH (or what’s God got to do with allll of that?) And that’s exactly what this 6 part series is all about:Part 1 is an introduction and setting up this massive topic. Part 2 is all about the big picture of where faith meets science meets food & body image.Part 3 goes deep into the self image and identity that you need to actually step into the version of you that would have THAT health, that would have THAT relationship with food and her body, who would actually be at peace and feel free….…and of course how that fuses with this faith-brain conversation. Part 4 dives deeper into What God has to do with (what Leanne calls) your ‘food brain’ and disordered eating patterns, and filling voids in your head, heart, and spirit with food (or whatever your drug of choice is)…and it’s a hole that will never be filled by those things. Part 5 dives into the complicated relationship that women have with their bodies and their body image (and physical pain – a topic often avoided), and how to heal all of that from a faith-meets-science perspective.... AND invite God into the conversation. And then wrapping it up in part 6, we get into the strategy side of things. As in, what does it look like to use what you’ve learned about neuroscience and faith and healing your relationship with food and your body image to go create a winning game plan that sets you up to win AND one that your brain just learns so you can go live your life, food can be food, and you can feel comfortable in your skin and free from the chains of restricting or punishing your body.  So let’s dive in!

OUTWEIGH: In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne addresses a common question from women who have moved past the acute struggles of their eating disorders and disordered eating: "What's next?". She explores how to create a health plan that protects your relationship with food and newfound freedom while also focusing on overall health...and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing mental and emotional health above all else. Leanne also created a Top 10 list of practical 'filters' you can use to evaluate whether a plan or program is genuinely beneficial or potentially harmful in your healing journey. You'll walk away from this episode super-clear on all the reasons why your previous plans may have failed you and how to avoid falling into the same traps.

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever gone to start a new plan or program, and on the surface you’re gung- ho — ready to take it by the reins, deeply committed, and hoping (praying!) that this time really IS different — that this will be ‘the thing’ that changes everything for you… but secretly in the back of your mind, you’re WAITING for it to fail? Perhaps you’re even outright EXPECTING it to fail, because you know in your heart-of-hearts that even though the plan or the program itself might be different…you know deep down that YOU haven’t changed — that you haven’t gotten your mind, your head, your brain, and your heart aligned in a way that WOULD cause things to be different? I see this happening ALL the time. Heck, it's exactly how I used to feel each time I started out some new plan or method that (eventually) I just STOPPED talking about it or telling anyone altogether. And in this episode of Outweigh we are going to talk about why this REALLY happens, how to earn back your own trust, and how to never become the "Girl Who Cried Wolf" ever again.

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to continue the conversation from last week and dives deeper into the question of "Does it ever get easier?".  She argues that restrictive diets and intense exercise plans create a cycle of difficulty and ultimately fail because they train your brain for "hard work" instead of  training it for"ease."  This week Leanne literally shares a step-by-step checklist for how you can make sure your brain is focusing on creating "ease" by practicing behaviors that are enjoyable, sustainable, and create a sense of freedom.  You can take this "checklist" of practices that cultivate ease (flexibility, consistency, happiness)  contrasted with practices that reinforce difficulty (control, pain, guilt) to make sure that YOUR brain is set up for success.  By understanding these two categories (when your brain is practicing EASE vs. when your brain is practicing HARD), you can choose the path of least resistance which leads to lasting change and a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.

OUTWEIGH: On this week's episode of Outweigh, Leanne tackles a question on every woman's mind stuck in the diet-and-weight-loss cycle: "Does it ever get easier?"  Leanne challenges the idea of quick-fix diets and restrictive plans, arguing that they simply create more of the yo-yo effect that you're desperate to break free from AND leave you feeling like a prisoner in your own body. Instead, she proposes a different approach:  focusing on the "why" behind your struggles with food and body image. By becoming a master of your thoughts and habits,  you can break free from the "diet mentality" and start creating sustainable change.  The episode offers a seed of hope, suggesting that true ease comes from changing your thinking, not through sheer willpower and deprivation.HOST: Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington To learn more about how to turn off the part of your brain that’s obsessed with food or obsessed with your weight and rewire your own brain for peace and freedom,....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back for Part 2 of this series to help you understand how to get off the diet roller coaster for good. So many women WANT to stop dieting, but they don't know how, or they don't know what that even looks like, because it's all they've ever known. So this idea of "food freedom" or NOT being on some sort of diet is not only foreign to them, but it's actually pretty scary, because all their brain has known is what it's like to count, measure, restrict, and control. Or their brain knows what it's like to bounce to the opposite end of the spectrum, and end up in an uncontrollable cycle of mindless eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or binging, and they just end up feeling super out-of-control. This week Leanne is laying out the 5 step crystal-clear path way to finally STOP dieting without feeling like you're going off the deep end if you're NOT on something.

Part 1 is about the mindset and heartset and brainset shifts that need to happen to make the strategy-side-of-things Leanne will share in Part 2 even possible.

OUTWEIGH: When it comes to the diet mentality, body shame, disordered eating, and all the internal stress and chaos that comes alongside all of that, for so many women this is their deepest held secret. This struggle with food, their body, the war in their head, the fight in their hearts, and the shame. All that shame about their body, feeling so out of control all the time, feeling like a failure….for so many women, no one even knows what's really going on!   ★ No one knows how much they are REALLY struggling and suffering. ★ No one knows how much time and energy they are spending thinking about what they should or shouldn’t eat, what they should wear — or what they can wear that fits or doesn’t look tight. ★ No one knows how much time they are thinking about how bad they actually feel. ★ No one knows that they aren’t even fully present in their lives— that even though they are there in the flesh and blood, they aren’t really ‘there’ -- they aren’t fully present.   What’s even worse is: no one is talking about this OR how to get past it. In today’s episode of Outweigh Leanne takes a look at this overlooked subject, but  also shares the “What I know now that I wish I knew then” steps to actually get PAST it.

OUTWEIGH: In this 4th and final episode of the "Redefine to Align" Series, Amy and Leanne talk about the dynamics of redefining results, and they explore the nuanced relationship between time, intensity, and sustainable change. In this episode, they shine a light on the common pitfall of succumbing to the "Short-Term Gratification Trap", where the allure of immediate pleasure often overshadows long-term well-being...AND your long-term happiness.  They dissect the unconscious choices that lead to a pattern of trading short-term happiness for longer-term discontent, examining the underlying mental and emotional things that are also at play. By unraveling the interplay of time and intensity, Amy and Leanne simply want to empower you to grasp a new understanding of results—-- one that prioritizes sustainable growth over short-term goals that "suck you in", so that you can break free from the Short-Term Gratification Trap and redefine the very essence of results in your own life.

OUTWEIGH: In the 3rd episode of the "Redefine to Align" Series, Amy and Leanne are back to redefine typical definitions of "stress" and the notion that stress is this inevitable and uncontrollable force in our lives. While stressful circumstances arising is indeed inevitable, Amy and Leanne invite you to break free from the misconception that stress must be a constant companion or a dominant force in your life. By examining the ways in which our nervous systems become accustomed to heightened states, they explore redefining stress (and how you react to it) so that you can recognize that stress doesn't define you; rather, it's a learned response that can be unlearned. It's about cultivating a new relationship with stress and gathering the tools to help you break free from its grip and reclaim control over your well-being. Only then can you start aligning with the version of yourself that you truly want to be.  HOST: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmyHOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 2 of the "Redefine to Align" Series, where they explore the complex topic of boundaries—  which is an integral part of self-discovery, but also an often-misunderstood part. While society often portrays boundaries as external limitations imposed on US, Amy and Leanne want to challenge that narrative and unravel the misconception that boundaries are merely external barricades, emphasizing that true boundary-setting originates from within. They explore  the concept that what may appear as a boundary problem is often rooted as an integrity problem, and they guide you to reevaluate your relationship with your own personal limits. This episode was designed to empower you to redefine boundaries not as restrictive walls, but as liberating expressions of self-respect and authenticity so you can align with the version of yourself that you TRULY want to be. HOST: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmyHOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Welcome to the "The Redefine to Align" Series, a new 4 part series here on Outweigh where we are going to dive headfirst into the transformative journey of redefining typical words or paradigms in our lives that might NOT be aligning us in the direction we WANT to go. Amy and Leanne are here to help you navigate the challenging landscape of the holiday season, where societal pressures and external expectations often dictate your sense of accomplishment, and this first episode was designed to be a source of hope and inspiration to redefine YOUR own definitions of success. Their goal is simply to challenge the conventional notions tied to success, unraveling the 'typical' narratives that are tied to success -- things like weight loss, food choices, and exercise metrics  -- that often overshadow the intrinsic value within each of us, and take us OUT of alignment.  By examining these subtle yet profound shifts in your mindset, what would happen if you detached from external validations and began cultivating a more authentic definition of success —-- one that resonates from YOU and where you are in your journey? THAT is the journey they are inviting you into. HOST: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmyHOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to close out our The Truth About Your Fat series, where she takes you on a tour of the 5 categories of fat and fascia that you might have.    These 5 'types' just further emphasize that fat and fascia are interconnected, and their relationship can impact your overall health and well-being.    Leanne's goal for this episode is to simplify the often-complex topic for you, making it accessible and relatable, so you can stop fighting your body and, instead, focus on learning how to take care of it and embrace a new, more positive body image.  The episode is the perfect 'tour' of the multifaceted aspects of fat and fascia and how they influence our overall health and well-being and will hopefully encourage a shift in perspective towards health & self-care and a better understanding of your body's complex mechanisms.

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back for Part 3 of The Truth About Your Fat, where she covers: A deeper look at the importance of understanding and accepting your body, including your fat and fascia, rather than shaming or blaming it. A deep-dive into the interconnectedness of fat and fascia within our bodies and their roles in the nervous system, endocrine function, and sensory capabilities. She introduces to you to 3 amazing experts who have been Leanne's teachers over the years, and have dedicated their lives to studying and educating people about the nervous system, fat, and fascia.    Leanne's goal is to empower you to take care of your body (and this includes your fat and fascia), and to help you unravel the mysteries of body fat and fascia to help you improve your overall well-being and relationship with your body.   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com    Resources: Dr. Cobb's Z-Health Education: https://zhealtheducation.com/Thomas Myers Anatomy Trains: https://www.anatomytrains.com/ Ashley Black's Fasciablaster:  https://fasciablaster.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: In Part 2 of this series, Leanne is back to discuss the often-misunderstood topic of body fat and its relationship with fascia. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and appreciating fat, as it plays a crucial role in the body's functions and should not be stigmatized.    She also delves into the science behind fat and fascia, breaking it down very simply, but also highlighting how they are not just passive tissues but play active roles in metabolism, hormonal regulation, and more.   She also walks you through how fascia, a connective tissue, can interact with fat, affecting issues such as fat storage and fat loss.    Leanne's goal is to empower you to take care of your body (and this includes your fat and fascia), and to help you unravel the mysteries of body fat and fascia to help you improve your overall well-being and relationship with your body.   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com    Resources: Learn From My Mistakes EPISODE The Cost Of Skinny EPISODESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Nowadays fat has a bad rap. We hate it. We fear it. We name it. We blame it. We shame it. Some people will do whatever they can to destroy it and eliminate its "wrath" from their lives. But who ever said that fat was ugly, or something to be ashamed of? And what if you could work WITH it (learn how to actually take care of it on a nervous system level so you can actually get rid of it if that's what you want to do) instead of working AGAINST it? Since it IS such a prevalent "enemy" in today's world, and since it's not going away anytime soon, we might as well learn about it, right?    Unfortunately no one is talking about that side of it. What you eat and how you move is PART of the equation, but it doesn’t cover the whole picture. Not even close! And I truly believe (and science will back me up!) that your health, body, and emotional struggles are simply EFFECTS of something going on ‘higher up’ in your brain and nervous system (SEE ALSO: That system of systems that dictates EVERYTHING!). And in this 4 part series, we are going to talk about a subject matter that baffles most women and causes more shame and sadness than any topic I’ve encountered:  The Truth About YOUR FAT (and what you can actually do about it)   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com    Resources: Learn From My Mistakes EPISODE The Cost Of Skinny EPISODESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 5 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Endorsement".  It's not practical or even possible for anyone (specially women) to completely disregard what others think about them. However, what is possible is learning to value your own opinion of yourself (even just a little bit) more than someone else's opinion of you. Imagine a world where you might LIKE that validation, but you don't NEED external endorsement to determine your own self-worth, beauty, or desirability. That is the conversation that Amy and Leanne invite you into in this episode, helping you to ultimately reshape your own self-image in a more empowering way.   HOST: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmyHOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 4 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Worth". It's crucial to understand what you are "weighing" and measuring in your life, as well as the currency by which you are judging yourself --- especially if you are constantly "weighing" yourself based on external factors like your appearance, jean size, career status, relationship status, fill-in-the-blank --- rather than defining and setting your own 'currency' for self-worth. Many women have never examined this aspect of themselves, and that's why Amy and Leanne encourage you to reflect on how you are valuing yourself, and in this episode they walk you through creating a self-worth currency that aligns with your personal goals and happiness, rather than relying solely on external 'measuring sticks'.    HOST: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmyHOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 3 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Esteem", which revolves around the "know, like, and trust" factor of yourself. Many women struggle with trusting themselves because they make promises to themselves but fail to follow through. And this is the cycle that causes you to lose trust and respect in yourself, and leads you to lack confidence and reliance on your own abilities. Instead of having a relationship of trust, confidence, and belief in yourself, your trust becomes negotiable, and it affects your entire self-image...until NOW! Amy and Leanne walk you through the process of up-leveling and rewiring your self-image, so you can stop the cycle of making unkept promises, earn back your own trust, and make certain aspects of your life non-negotiable.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 2 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Care", which  (as you'll learn) is so much more than a "manicures and bubble baths" conversation. Amy and Leanne give a perspective on Self Care that extends beyond physical health and includes the mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and relational side of things, which is CRUCIAL if you truly want to learn to care for your own needs. Self-care is not just about diet and exercise but about understanding what it takes to care for yourself in a holistic sense, and that's why they invite you to redefine your own definition of health, starting at the mind, body, spirit, heart level, rather than being solely focused on physical aesthetics or hard work. Self care is SO personal, and that's why relying on others to dictate your own health and well-being can be limiting and disempowering. Join Amy and Leanne as they pave the way to a more 3-dimensional Self-Care conversation that encompasses taking care of your entire brain and nervous system -- from mind and body to heart and spirit.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are here for PART 1 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Acceptance". This is often the most challenging aspect of our Self-Image to grasp, because many of us are so focused on our flaws, shortcomings, and past mistakes... so accepting ourselves feels foreign. Amy and Leanne walk you through practical ways to practice true self-acceptance when it comes to embracing yourself without exception, without shame, blame, guilt, or self-rejection, and without comparison-itus or perfectionism. It's about accepting yourself as you are right now, 'warts' and all, without waiting to achieve certain goals to feel that way. This is so much easier said than done, and that's why they break it down in easy-to-digest baby steps that will meet you where you are in your own self-acceptance journey. HOST: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmyHOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: In part 3 of "Beyond the Mirror: Fashion's Role in Self-Love and Body Image," Sarai White is back on the show with Leanne to share a comprehensive how-to guide on dressing for your body type, helping you discover the art of embracing your unique beauty through fashion. The journey begins with a fundamental shift in perspective, encouraging you to evaluate your body from a place of neutrality, free from judgment and societal standards.   Next, they explore how to transform your confidence by curating clothing that enhances your body type, as they also delve into the positive impact of social media, guiding you to find influencers who specialize in dressing for your specific body type, promoting self-love and body positivity.   And of course, they'll share practical tips on how to embrace (rather than conceal) yourself in your clothing choices. Whether or not your body is where you THINK you want it to be right now, it's time to celebrate and highlight your unique beauty and learn how to use fashion as a tool for self-expression and self-love, continuing your journey towards a more positive body image.   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com    GUEST: Sarai White // @GetFitWithSarai https://www.thestyledmagnolia.com/ @thestyledmagnoliaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: In part 2 of this series, Leanne is back with guest Sarai White as they dive into the foundational beliefs that undermine our relationship with fashion (and how these beliefs can be reshaped to foster self-love and confidence).  They challenge the common notion that you need to meet certain standards or goals before you 'deserve' to look and feel great in your clothes and other myths and common beliefs that come up for women as they are exploring this subject. More importantly they invite you into the powerful transformation that occurs when you recognize your worth right now (not “when you get there” or reach a certain goal)...and embrace fashion through THOSE eyes.    They highlight the importance of living in the present moment, reminding you that the most special occasion is today. Waiting for some future "when" can hinder your journey towards self-love, and they explore how investing a little extra time in choosing and planning your outfits can make a world of difference in how you feel about yourself NOW.   Lastly, they celebrate the individuality of fashion. It's about defining your own style, not adhering to trends or others' expectations. Your fashion choices should be a reflection of your unique essence, and fashion is (and can be!) a potent tool for nurturing self-love and confidence.   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com    GUEST: Sarai White // @GetFitWithSarai https://www.thestyledmagnolia.com/ @thestyledmagnoliaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: In the first episode of "Beyond the Mirror: Fashion's Role in Self-Love and Body Image," Leanne brings on Sarai White to take you on a journey into the world of fashion as a powerful tool for healing your body image. Drawing inspiration from iconic makeover shows like Oprah, Sally Jessy Raphael, and Ricki Lake, Sarai shares how she first explored the art of dressing for the body you have -- rather than feeling shame about the body that you DON'T have.    Sarai shares her personal journey from "fitness to fashion" and how it played a role in experiencing herself and her clients (where she witnessed firsthand) the profound impact of choosing clothing that complements and celebrates your unique beauty.    They'll uncover how it's not just about having a stylist or a massive budget; it's about selecting clothing that enhances your natural features AND contributes to your own healing journey with your body. The best part? You can do the same for yourself!   Throughout this episode, they discuss the importance of understanding your unique body, using clothing as a confidence booster, and providing practical tips on selecting outfits that suit your body type and personal style.    They'll also talk about the incredible transformation that's possible when you look through the lens of fashion as a tool to discover more self-love & healing.   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com    GUEST: Sarai White // @GetFitWithSarai https://www.thestyledmagnolia.com/ @thestyledmagnoliaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: In this eye-opening episode of Outweigh, we take a deep dive into the untold truths about the "Cost of Skinny."    Leanne reflects on a pivotal moment in her own life, a major spine surgery at just 25 years old, which she endearingly calls the "Cost of Skinny." It's a powerful reminder of how the relentless pursuit of an idealized body image can lead to devastating consequences.   For years, Leanne was fixated on attaining a 'skinny,' 'lean,' 'toned,' or 'hot' body, drowning out the critical signals her body was sending her. Ignoring the screams for self-care, she pushed herself to the brink until her body couldn't take it anymore.   But that wasn't the only cost she paid. The "Diet Mentality" she had embraced for decades had inflicted additional invisible wounds:   ★ A Food Prison: Constantly toggling between restrictive eating and carefree indulgence, caught in a cycle of obsession and guilt over every morsel of food.   ★ A Body Prison: Feeling trapped in a body that didn't align with her true self, hiding behind oversized clothes, and allowing her body to dictate her life.   ★ A Shame Prison: Carrying the burden of shame for struggling with food and body image, believing she was fundamentally flawed.   ★ A 'Fat Head': A self-image tainted by negative self-perception, no matter how much weight she lost or how successful she became.   Leanne knows that her experience is far from unique. Every woman stuck on the diet and weight loss roller coaster is unknowingly paying their own "Cost of Skinny." In this episode, we dissect the ins and outs of how to break free from this destructive cycle, providing insights and strategies to help you avoid your own "Cost of Skinny" and embark on a journey toward self-acceptance, self-care, and genuine well-being.   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @  www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: One of the biggest myths out there in the Women’s Health ‘world’ is this idea that you should get ‘good’ at trying to CONTROL yourself.    I can’t even tell you how many women I speak with that WISH that they simply had more willpower or discipline or perseverance to feel 'in control',  and that if they could just figure out how to make THOSE things show up for them, all would be well, and the problem would be solved.   I used to think the SAME THING about my own struggles with my weight and my own inability to stick with whatever the ‘diet of the month’ I promised myself I would follow through on.I came to learn that it was only because I was focusing on the WRONG thing. In fact, I was actually making my disordered eating WORSE! Because willpower and motivation and the ability to ‘grit’ my way through yet another unsustainable diet, were NOT my problems.   The REAL problem was this idea in my head that actually WANTED to ‘get good’ at controlling myself…or to be a better ‘rule-follower’.   THAT was the problem. It was that ‘Hyper-Control Mentality’ that was keeping me stuck, and the fact that I was trying to become MORE skillful in a way of thinking that was setting me up to LOSE and setting me up to FAIL…well that was just the icing on the cake. In this episode of Outweigh, we are going to explore the in’s and out’s of the ‘Control’ Myth….   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @  www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Yep....it's true! Even the most confident, self-assured, empowered women can revisit old thought patterns.. This does NOT have to mean anything, it does NOT mean that you have backslid or regressed, and in fact, it's totally normal. What matters most is how you RESPOND (instead of react) to those thoughts. And that's why on this episode of Outweigh, we share some very important distinctions that you'll want to keep in mind around this subject specifically.    Amy & Leanne are back again for the SEVENTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH: You can be revisit an old pattern, habit, or circumstance ...AND still be 'evolving' or growing past it (AKA experiencing something that you thought was “part of your past“ does not mean that you HAVE regressed or ARE regressed)     HOST: Amy Brown // @RadioAmy // RadioAmy.com HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @  www.StresslessEating.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back again sharing Two Things that can ABSOLUTELY be true at the same time: You can be self-endorsed and uber-confident.... AND still care what other people think of you (or fear judgment).   These things do NOT have to cancel each other out or stay mutually exclusive.

OUTWEIGH: We are back with our final follow-up to a topic that Amy and Leanne talked about a few weeks ago: How to have BOTH: a healthy relationship with food and your body AND begin to work towards the goals that are important to you (aka getting stronger, fitter, etc).    In that episode, Amy and Leanne explained that you absolutely can go set goals for yourself, but they invite you to take a sabbatical from typical goal-setting and “go-getting” and go heal your relationship with food and your body FIRST and rewire your brain….and then with THAT new brain and that NEW relationship with food and your body….then head in the direction of body-changing and weight loss or whatever goals you have in mind.  But don’t skip over the healing phase.    That being said,  it’s also important to talk about HOW to do just that… and what that actually looks like practically (including the “why behind the what”).   In this episode of Outweigh, health and fitness expert Holly Baxter is back on the show to to talk about setting goals AFTER your healing journey. She shares the most important things you need to know about making sure your healing journey stays front-of-mind, the mistakes to avoid along the way, and some pivotal advice to take into consideration if you are ready to focus on setting goals again AFTER you’ve healed from your own disorder.      CONTENT WARNING: Here at Outweigh we want to be sensitive to the fact that some of this subject matter might be a little bit confrontational for some of you on your healing journey, but we didn’t want to just NOT talk about it, or avoid these important subjects altogether. Because, wherever you are on your healing journey, at some point in time, you might be ready for whatever YOUR next step is, and that might include goal setting or focusing on new outcomes.    And most of what’s out there in the modern day world to meet you in those goals is a surefire way to bring you back down the road of toxicity and disorder, and we didn’t want to leave you hanging like that. So if you are in that place in your healing journey, and you’re ready to look at what’s next,  this interview series shares a perspective on how to do just that– while still keeping your mental and emotional health AND your healing journey front and center.    So this is just a bit of a heads up that we are going to be covering some topics that might not have been broached yet on this podcast, but also just reiterating that the purpose is to show you how to view these once-controversial or difficult topics in a beautiful, healthy, and empowering way that ensures that your healing journey stays front and center.

OUTWEIGH: Can you love food AND maintain a healthy relationship with food? We absolutely think so! And that's why we are here to talk about this very important distinction.  These things do NOT have to cancel eachother out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind--- especially since there are a lot of mixed messages out there about this topic. Amy & Leanne are back again for the FOURTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH:  You can heal from your disordered eating and have a healthy relationship with food.... AND still love food, love sugar, find pleasure and joy in food....AND still have food 'stuff' you're continually working though (it can ALL be true).   HOST:Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmy GUEST:Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @  www.StresslessEating.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: You can be on the journey to self-love and self-worth... AND still have really crappy thoughts about yourself show up. Yep....it's true! Even the most confident, self-assured, empowered women can have "ugly" thoughts about themselves. This does NOT have to mean anything, and in fact, it's totally normal. What matters most is how you RESPOND (instead of react) to those thoughts. And that's why on this episode of Outweigh, we share some very important distinctions that you'll want to keep in mind around this subject specifically.

OUTWEIGH: We are back again sharing Two Things that can ABSOLUTELY be true at the same time: You can be on the journey to self-love and self-worth (and not have self-worth tied to your appearance)....AND still care about what you look like. These things do NOT have to cancel eachother out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind--- especially since there are a lot of messages out there telling you that you "shouldn't" ever focus on your appearance or that it is 'vain' to care what you look like. Here at Outweigh, we love to give a different perspective, and that's why Amy & Leanne came together for the SECOND episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH: You can be on the journey to self-love and self-worth (and not have self-worth tied to your appearance)....AND still care about what you look like.    HOST:Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmy GUEST:Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @  www.StresslessEating.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Yes.... you heard that correctly. You can be pro body-image (and pro-self worth and body-positive) ....AND still have health goals you want to reach. These things do NOT have to cancel eachother out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind to make sure that you are leading yourself in the direction of health, freedom, and healing.

OUTWEIGH: Comments like “Eat a burger!!” (when someone thinks a person needs to gain weight) or “Are you really going to eat that burger?”(when someone thinks a person needs to lose weight) are not okay. However, these comments happen (sometimes to often), and how we respond is up to us. Licensed therapist, Kat Defatta, joins Amy for this episode and she encourages curiosity over judgment when comments like this come up. Healthy conflict for the win!

OUTWEIGH: We're bombarded with pressure to look a certain way. It can be overwhelming and constantly worrying about your appearance can distract you from living your life. Amy wants you to feel empowered by rejecting these thoughts and to start practicing radical self-love! To help you REFRAME things, Amy shares positive affirmations/mantras that will help you on your journey towards loving yourself more: mindy, body and soul! The goal of the affirmations is to train your brain to overcome self-sabotaging thoughts. Reframing takes time, but you are worth it, and it can start with 1 simple affirmation (although Amy shares several for you to work with!) Amy also closes this episode out with 2 journaling prompts that will help you have more positive thoughts about yourself and gratitude for your body!

OUTWEIGH: I’ve been on diets and weight loss programs since the age of 7.   I got really good at outsmarting whatever plan or program I was on.   I got really good at “fake it till you make it” and motivational pump-me-ups.   I got really good at tricking the scale, tricking my stomach, and tricking my mind.   I got really good at living my life hungry, tired, miserable and restricted.   Yup I mastered them alright, but there was a major cost.   Food was the boss of me.   And...   I was a slave to my brutal workout routine to ensure that I didn’t gain anything back.   Because no matter how motivated or disciplined I got myself to be on a day to day basis, food and exercise still ruled my every move.   So how can YOU tell if you’re using food and exercise as a tool to get yourself healthy? Or...   ...if you’re using it as a weapon: a weapon of punishment, control, restriction, or shame.   In this episode of Outweigh we talk about four tell-tale signs to help you discover if you too are using food & exercise as a weapon AND if so, how you can change that!

OUTWEIGH: For the first (near) 30 years of my life, my relationship with food had 2 'modes'.   ✔️ On -OR-  ❌ Off   There was no middle ground for me.  I was either walking around day-in, day-out as:    👮‍♀️ My Inner Food Police: 🚨   Micromanaging every morsel of food I ate or thought about eating. Controlling myself, restricting myself, punishing myself, and persuading myself not to eat certain things because they were "bad" or "not healthy". Obsession. Harsh judgments. All that shame, blame, guilt, comparison, and perfectionism...    -OR-   🍨 🍕My Inner Rebel (See also: Inner Glutton!) 🍩🍔   Carefree abandonment – eating whatever I could get my hands on. Gluttonously over-stuffing myself.  Binging on the weekends. Utter lack of care of my body, what I ate, how I moved, and my health in general. But also feeling like I had to "get it all in" over the weekend before I went back into "Police" mode on Monday.     And THIS was my life for nearly 30 years!   Bouncing from one extreme to the other:  I would diet and restrict until I couldn’t possibly take it anymore, and then....I would TOTALLY let myself go.   But the day came that I hit my 'enough is enough' point, and I realized that if I didn't change my STRATEGY and change the STORIES around food and my body that were keeping me stuck, this is how it would ALWAYS be!   And that scared the crap out of me, and THAT is when I knew I had to set out to change it.    Because...   ★ I was SICK of all the dieting and restricting and constantly playing 'food police'. ★ I was SICK of all the judging and shaming and EMOTION that came alongside food. ★ I was SICK of hating what I had to DO, who I had to BE, and how I had to FEEL to get the "body I always wanted".    It was EXHAUSTING. And I was the OPPOSITE of FREE.    So if YOU are still stuck on that on-again, off-again roller coaster with food or your body or your emotions, I'm here to tell you:   There IS a better way! And you don't have to live like this!      And that’s why I break down what’s happening deep down in your BRAIN when this happens...and how to stop it in its tracks.  Link Mentioned:    Watch the Stressless Eating Webinar where Leanne walks you through her exact 5 Step Game Plan her clients use to heal themselves from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting themselves, punishing their bodies, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) 😉   HOST: www.StresslessEating.com // @LeanneEllington To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever gone to start a new plan or program, and on the surface you're gung- ho -- ready to take it by the reins, deeply committed, and hoping (praying!) that this time really IS different -- that this will be the 'the thing' that changes everything for you...   ...but secretly in the back of your mind, you're WAITING for it to fail?   Perhaps you're even outright EXPECTING it to fail, because you know in your heart-of-hearts that even though the plan or the program itself might be different....   ...you know deep down that YOU haven't changed -- that you haven't gotten your mind, your head, your brain, and your heart aligned in a way that WOULD cause things to be different?   Don’t worry, you are SO not alone. This is one of the most common struggles that women have today when it comes to their relationships with food, their bodies, and themselves.   In this week’s episode of Outweigh we are going to get you clear on exactly why this happens (why you lose trust in yourself or in the possibility that it will ever get any better), and how you can finally shift this for good.

OUTWEIGH: I believe that I can tell a lot about a woman's emotional health based on how much time she spends on social media. I know that might sound a little bit weird, but social media has a bigger impact on your mind, brain, self-esteem, and self-image than you might think.   And THAT is the elephant in the room that I bring up on today’s podcast: Facebook and Instagram and other forms of social media (if you allow it) can be used as powerful tools to connect, share parts of your life, and keep your finger on the pulse of the lives of people that matter to you. But if you're not careful, they can easily become a weapon of comparison-itus, unattainable standards, isolation, and loneliness.   On top of that though, for people out there that ALREADY struggle with self-esteem, body image, or self-worth, I believe it can be even MORE dangerous. And that’s why I felt called to simply have a conversation about it and take a look at how it is TRULY impacting us.   In this episode of Outweigh,  I teach you some valuable distinctions that will help you discover if you are the one influencing it, or if it is the one controlling you. I even give you an action plan on how you can take back ownership of your Social Brain and how to ensure that you have a healthy ‘relationship’ with social media.   ======   Link Mentioned:  Watch the Stressless Eating Webinar where Leanne walks you through her exact 5 Step Game Plan her clients use to heal themselves from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting themselves, punishing their bodies, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) 😉   HOST: www.StresslessEating.com // @LeanneEllington To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Do you struggle with binge eating, mindless eating, stress eating, or overeating in general?   Does it ever feel like food or sugar has a magnetic pull over you when you’re bored, sad, lonely, or stressed?   Have you ever wondered: “Am I addicted to sugar?”   If you’ve ever felt out-of-control when it comes to food and sugar, then this episode is for you!    We will cover:   How you’re not really weak-willed, a self-sabotager, or a sugar addict – even if you THINK you are.  Why and how your brain got ‘fired and wired’ to reach for sugar, and what your brain is REALLY telling you.  How to relinquish the shame that comes alongside this (often shame-filled) topic.    All that and more…   ======   Link Mentioned:    Watch the Stressless Eating Webinar where Leanne walks you through the exact 5 Step Game Plan her clients use to heal themselves from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting themselves, punishing their bodies, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) 😉     HOST: www.StresslessEating.com // @LeanneEllington To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Exercise is a well-known way to get endorphins. That was made clear to a lot of us back in 2001 when Reese Witherspoon, playing Ell Woods, gave us this classic line in Legally Blonde: “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands. They just don't.” However, exercise it's not the ONLY way to release endorphins. When Amy first started true recovery 3 years ago…she had to put a halt to a lot of her working out because she didn't really know how to enjoy it and do it for the good of her body. Her reasons for working out were going through her eating disorder filter. For example: She would exercise more after eating a lot or missing a workout and she ran a lot even though she truly didn’t like running. In recovery, Amy had to build a new filter for herself when it came to exercise, so she had to halt almost all workouts (sans hiking & walking!!) for a while to recalibrate. Maybe you are in a place where you need to press pause on working out so that you can reset and work on a new filter. In this episode, Amy shares several ways you can still release endorphins (and keep your body full of feel-good chemicals) without working out!

OUTWEIGH: How many times have you felt guilty before or after you ate something? Saying things to yourself like: "I shouldn't have..." or "Should I compensate after eating this...” That inner voice that beats us up before we eat and makes us feel guilty afterward is our worst enemy. Amy shares some ways to calm yourself down when food guilt pops up and stresses you out:  - Something easy that you can do anytime, anywhere......is 4 rounds of the 4, 7, 8 deep breathing technique - Put on your favorite song….and sing along!!!!- Take a cold shower!!!- Practice the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 grounding technique! Acknowledge 5 things you see in your surroundings; 4 things you can tough, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell and finally 1 thing you can taste. - Find a quiet place to try this calming yoga pose, the legs up the wall pose! Lie down on the floor and let your straight legs rest against the wall. Your butt should be up against the wall so that your body is at a 90 degree angle. If you're able, stay in this position for a full 20 minutes to really let your body reset.  Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Certified eating disorder coach Kristie Amadio is our guest today. After 14 years of battling her eating disorder and seeking treatment in both Australia and New Zealand—where she was told she was ‘chronic’ and should expect to struggle with food and body image issues for the rest of her life—Kristie flew to America for intensive treatment and made a full recovery. Kristie was stunned by the gap and unequal access to support and resources both here and overseas, so she resolved to make cost effective support available to everyone, no matter where they lived. By working online and living with people in recovery all around the world, Kristie Amadio is adding a new dimension to the platform used to treat eating disorders.    “All you need is to have the curiosity of what it would be like to not have an eating disorder in order to start your journey to recovery.” - Kristie Amadio    Learn more about Kristie’s work here:  https://www.recoveredliving.com    Kristie’s Tedx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ut3rxb1nwc    Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.com     SUBSCRIBE and follow so you never miss an episode and SHARE with your friends & family.

OUTWEIGH: Curious if you have an eating disorder? Do you actually have to talk to a professional to find out, or is there a way you can figure it out on your own? Amy is joined by Kat Defatta (licensed therapist that specializes in eating disorders & host of You Need Therapy podcast) to answer these questions.

OUTWEIGH: Amy starts off with a clip from Kat Defatta's 'You Need Therapy' podcast that went up this week where she processes diet culture and anti-diet culture's wildly polarizing content that has left many of us very, very confused. It's so good!!! You can listen to Kat's full episode called "NEDA Week: Diet Culture vs. Anti Diet Culture" linked HERE!    Without judgment, Amy encourages you to take note of all the fears diet culture has given you about food.

OUTWEIGH: It is estimated that over 30 million Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime, and something you may not be aware of is that In the United States, eating disorders are the second most fatal mental illness, surpassed only by opioid use disorder. Both of those stats are wild.  It's National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, so NEDA and other organizations will spend the week focusing on people with eating disorders and educating others about eating disorders — both of which are key to change. We highly encourage you to check out the NEDA website for info, tools, support, helplines, etc... It is: nationaleatingdisorders.org  5 Mental Health Self-Help Ideas for you to keep in your back pocket:-Try Mindfulness-Keep a Gratitude Journal-Focus on Sleep-Soak up Uncomplicated Relationships (for example, your pets!!)-Tap Into Your Creativity If you're here because you're curious about whether or not you even have disordered eating behaviors, Mental Health America has an eating disorder test up on their website - the link will also be in the show notes. This test can't diagnose an eating disorder, but it can help you understand where you are. So looking into where you fall with this screening tool could be helpful.  Eating Disorder Test:https://screening.mhanational.org/screening-tools/eating-disorder/  Sending hugs to everyone.

OUTWEIGH: Do you feel guilty if you crave something? Well, this is your permission to stop that. You should never feel guilty for craving anything. Laura Lea Bryant is Amy’s guest today and she is all about normalizing cravings!! We need to learn to pay attention to our body and what it’s asking for.

Laura Lea explains why we might be craving certain things depending on our situation/heartache + how cooking can be a part of the healing process!

OUTWEIGH: Amy has had many disordered eating behaviors over the last 25 years, binge eating being one of them. A couple of questions Amy had early on in her recovery from binge eating were: "What is the difference between binge eating and overeating?" and "How can I tell the difference between the voices of my lower brain (that causes binges) and my higher brain (that could stop me from the binges)?" She answers both of those questions from her personal experience and the tools that worked best for her.    Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Did you know snapping a rubber band on your wrist can help stop a negative pattern in the brain? Did you know you can create more self-acceptance by consistently saying 3 things in the mirror that you like about yourself? Did you know creating new habits in the brain might be more beneficial to your recovery than working through emotions? Amy is answering these questions with her expert guest, Sheri Rowney, certified LENS (neurofeedback) practitioner & owner of Harmonized Brain Center.  ‘Brain Over Binge’ (by Katheryn Hansen) is a book that was instrumental in Amy’s recovery from a very grueling binge, restrict, purge cycle. Amy & Sheri also talk about this quote from the book: “I never want to discourage anyone from resolving issues in their lives, but I do want binge eaters to avoid working endlessly on other problems and emotions without ever addressing the habit in the brain.” - Brain over Binge 2nd Edition, pg. 243 To learn more about Sheri and her work click the link below:https://harmonizedbraincenterstn.com/about/   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: How do you handle a man calling you husky? Cryo Kat (Katherine Cox) joins Amy to talk about the time her grandma’s boyfriend called attention to her pregnant body by saying: “Well, aren’t you looking husky!!!” He then proceeded to tell her that his wife didn’t really gain any weight when she was pregnant with all 5 of their kids!! Well, Kat gained 100 pounds while pregnant, so she clearly found his words hurtful and beyond annoying. Kat has also dealt with an ex husband that killed her confidence…it’s almost like her body was never good enough for him…even when she felt her best.   This chat is a friendly reminder to not comment on people’s bodies!! People can even have good intentions with their comment (i.e. complimenting weight loss, but weight loss doesn’t always = good and weight gain doesn’t always = bad!)   If someone does make a comment about your body (or food you’re eating) that you’re not comfortable with…you’re allowed to share your feelings and say that you’d like to change the subject!!   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Do you ever say that a particular food is bad or good? The words we say about food matter!! Dr. Amy Porto (@dr.amyporto) is our expert guest today and she talks with Amy about words that matter when it comes to food because that often extends to what we say about our body…which leads to what we think of our body…and ultimately our self and self-worth.  Dr. Amy Porto is an anti-diet registered dietitian, nutrition educator, and certified intuitive eating counselor. As an expert in her field with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Porto speaks the truth about nutrition. Her purpose is to disrupt mainstream diet culture with real science, a dash of humor, and a little bit of common sense. She believes you shouldn’t need a PhD to decode food labels at the grocery store. Breaking down complex information about food and nutrition into digestible bite-sized pieces of information is her passion — plus, she loves a good pun. Her ultimate goal is to help you trust your body and reclaim your relationship with food.   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy   To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Orthorexia in its simplest terms means an obsession with healthy eating, and for people who are not immersed in this field, that may not sound like a bad thing because eating healthy isn’t bad. So, this week, Kat is diving into the topic to bring light to what becoming obsessed with the health and quality of the food we consume can do to our mental health. Someone who develops orthorexia most likely doesn’t start out being obsessed but things can take a turn pretty fast not just due to reasons associated with the individual. This issue is very much connected to our culture and the messaging companies and brands use to attract and illicit business and the manipulation involved in how diet culture sells their ideals and products. So, sit tight and get ready to hear how some of the most popular diets and diet buzz words have created a rise in some of the most stealth disordered eating patterns we are currently seeing today.    Follow Kat on Instagram: @Kat.Defatta Follow the podcast Instagram: @YouNeedTherapyPodcast Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?

OUTWEIGH: Singer/Song-writer Maura Streppa is Amy's guest today! Maura battled with an eating disorder for most of her life, but didn’t realize it until she was a freshman in college. She started recovery over COVID and really used songwriting to help get through it. She wrote a song called “Skinnier” that comes out December 2nd and hopes it will help others feel less alone + encourage them to NOT think that life will be better if/when they are skinnier!! About Maura: There is a place where country meets soul meets pop. That sweet spot exists in the heart of singer/songwriter, Maura Streppa. Heavily influenced by Bob Dylan, John Prine, Amy Winehouse, Kacey Musgraves, and more, Maura uniquely and effortlessly creates a home for lovers of the old and the new alike. Hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, Maura discovered her love for music at a young age. After a move from the city to the south lands of North Carolina, Maura found that her mother’s piano keys helped her express her deepest emotions. It was from that moment on that she decided she wanted to share these cathartic songs with the world. Maura continued writing, singing, and sharing until the age of 18, when she was asked to play the Carolina Country Music Festival and to open for country music star, Jimmie Allen. It was in that opportunity that Maura became more sure than ever that singing country music for thousands of people was what she wanted to do with her life. She promptly packed her bags and made her way to Music City. Since making the big move to Nashville, Maura has been performing almost every single night, sharing her soulful songs with those who cross her path. She recently won Tennessee Songwriter’s Week and made her debut at The Bluebird Cafe with her song, “Singer and The Song”. The eclectic artist has a strong conviction to create music with authenticity, love, and purpose and works hard to carry out that calling every day. Instagram: @maurastreppamusic  To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.com Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: For this chat with licensed therapist Ashley Vicari (episode 3 of 3 with her), Amy and Ashley talk about identifying whether or not you have an eating disorder or body image issues. *Most* eating disorder diagnoses share a common basis surrounding body image: an over-evaluation of shape and weight (meaning that someone with an eating disorder tends to put a lot of their eggs into the body image basket, so much so that it impairs their everyday lives!!)    Ashley also shares with us '10 Questions to Consider When Thinking About Body Image' and breaks down each question further inside the episode: -What are my body rules?-Where did these rules come from?-What function do these rules serve for me? Are they keeping me safe? Hidden?-Can I practice non-judgement when looking at or thinking about my body?-Am I able to see the purpose my arms, legs, stomach, etc. serves?-Even if I do not like my body, what would respecting my body look like?-Do I plan on living with my body rules all my life?-How would my life be different if I respected my body?-What matters most to me outside of my size, weight, and/or appearance?-What role does the media or social media play in the way I view my body and what steps can I take to reduce or eliminate the harm of these images or messages?   Link to Ashley's full blog post about Body Image: https://renfrewcenter.com/5-body-positive-trends-how-body-image-movements-impact-culture/    Eating Disorder Center Where Ashley Works: https://renfrewcenter.com    To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.com   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: We're excited to have licensed therapist Ashley Vicari back as the expert with Amy! In this episode (ep. 2 of 3) they navigate what to do if you think your child has an eating disorder. There's a blog that Ashley wrote called: 'Teens & Eating Disorders: 5 Helpful Tips for Better Understanding Your Teen' and Amy has Ashley break it down for us.  As a parent or caregiver, your support is imperative. Below are a few tips you can use to assist your teen as they move through their journey of adolescence and aid in preventing symptoms of disordered eating. 1. Repeat After Me: It’s Not Just A Phase2. Acknowledge the Pressures of Social Media3. Notice Their Emotions and Behaviors; They Want You To4. Get Involved – You Are Their Parent, Not Their Friend5. Honor Their Bravery and HonestyEating disorders are unfortunately all-too common among teenagers. This is partly because the pathways which lead to disordered eating are often far too easy for teens to fall into. As parents and guardians, we must have the tools to recognize these paths so we can offer guidance when it’s needed most.   Link To Ashley's full blog post about Teens & Eating Disorders:  https://renfrewcenter.com/teens-eating-disorders-5-helpful-tips-for-better-understanding-your-teen/    Eating Disorder Center Where Ashley Works: https://renfrewcenter.com    To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.com   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Licensed therapist Ashley Vicari is our expert guest for the next 3 weeks with Amy. In episode 1 of 3, Amy starts off by sharing this email that was sent in with Ashley: "I would love to hear a discussion on the Outweigh Podcast about gaining weight in the recovery process & all the uncomfortable parts about it. I am so torn between wanting to recover vs continuing to struggle but keep my current body/weight. It would be so helpful to hear about it from someone who has been through it, and has come out the other side ok & happy! Thanks!"   In response to this email, Ashley shares with us:   -How to incorporate mindfulness in the process of recovering from an eating disorder. -Tools to learn how to live in the body you have. -Her personal experience living in a larger body.   Eating Disorder Center Where Ashley Works: https://renfrewcenter.com    To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.com   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Last week Amy shared that the average adult will try 126 diets in their lifetime. That’s crazy!! This week, Amy focuses on how the diet industry is targeting us (especially women!) and we must be aware of their messaging so we don’t fall for it. So what works better than dieting?? Developing a healthy relationship with food, appreciating what we GET to eat, and not being afraid to eat our favorite dessert or the french fries we love! Focus on adding to our lives instead of taking away from our lives! Easier said than done, but hopefully this episode will be an encouragement to you and will get you one step closer to ditching the diets. A big fear that comes along with that, though, is gaining weight. Amy shares an email from an Outweigh listener that is concerned about just that. Amy plans to have an expert on to dive into this more…but in the meantime you’ll hear Amy’s personal thoughts and this reminder: your natural body size is the weight you are without crazy diet rules & restriction. If you gain weight by enjoying food and eating adequately for your body…then that is the body you were meant to have. We have a choice to embrace that concept or spend our lives fighting it…it’s up to us!   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh:hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: It's 4th of July weekend…so Amy took a trip down memory lane sharing ways she used to treat this holiday while living with an active eating disorder. Her life looks very different now…so she wanted to dedicate this episode to YOU living your best life this weekend by giving some tools to take with you to the celebrations/parties/BBQs. She goes over 5 food tips for the holiday weekend (hint: starts with eating breakfast!!!) and went over a list of foods that are bad for you (spoiler alert: it’s foods that you’re allergic to, or have mold on them because foods are neither good nor bad).   Fav quote from this episode: “Don’t miss out on 95% of your life just to weigh 5% less.” - @DylanMurphy.rd   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh:hello@outweighpodcast.com  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Advocating for yourself in a gracious way during recovery is totally okay. Amy & Dylan talk through some ways you can respond to diet talk. Also, why do people put up “what I eat in a day” posts?? Our advice: unfollow or mute those accounts…they are not helpful in recovery! They wrap by sharing how to recognize a binge and shut it down. Eating disorder thoughts still pop up in recovery…hopefully fewer and farther between.  Dylan’s Instagram:@DylanMurphy.rd (her tagline is ditch diets, gain freedom!)  Dylan’s Podcast: Free Method Podcast Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh:hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Dylan Murphy is back this week (part 2) and we’re so excited! Find a safe space to talk about your eating disorder or disordered eating behaviors. Someone that is not a therapist…a friend or family member that is in the weeds with you that can be an ear…but will also call you out on things if need be. If you don’t have a friend you can talk to about this stuff and therapy isn’t an option for you right now…following anti-diet dietitians like Dylan or Kat Defatta because they offer encouragement in their posts and even things that will call you out in a way (set you straight!!)  What are the joys of your life? Are you isolated from them? When you’re wrapped up in an eating disorder…you are likely so obsessed with it that there’s not much room for pleasure in life! Get curious about what actually brings you joy…that will help you unlock what’s important to you and that can help quiet ED thoughts (which occupy most, if not all, of your day!) Finding joy with food is an amazing thing…but sometimes we only allow ourselves a brownie if it’s made with black beans (while those can be yummy too…what’s your motivation behind choosing to eat them…that is the question?!!)  P.S. You are not alone in any of your ED thoughts!  P.S.S. Guilt doesn’t belong on your plate…just the foods you love and there is more that you are meant to give to the world than counting calories!  Dylan’s Instagram:@DylanMurphy.rd (her tagline is ditch diets, gain freedom!)  Dylan’s Podcast: Free Method Podcast Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Food Freedom + Body Image Dietitian, Dylan Murphy, is joining Amy for the next 3 weeks. We hope today’s chat encourages you no matter where you are on your eating disorder journey. Recovery is hard, but you have to want it for yourself. You have to choose it. Dylan says: “In deciding to recover or walk away from diets, that doesn’t mean you have to feel 100% ready or excited about it. Basically you just reach a point where you recognize the life you are living isn’t the fullest life that you know you could live. It’s hard. But you don’t have to do it alone.” Outweigh is here to come alongside you and we hope the episode resonates with you.  Dylan’s Instagram: @DylanMurphy.rd (her tagline is ditch diets, gain freedom!)  Dylan’s Podcast: Free Method Podcast Amy’s Instagram: @RadioAmy To contact Amy about Outweigh: hello@outweighpodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OUTWEIGH: Samantha Skelly, Pause Breathwork CEO & Founder, is our guest today. She shares with us her eating disorder journey and how breathwork led to healing & recovery. Samantha had been on 50 different diets in 4 years, she was always excited about going to bed so that she wouldn't think about dieting & anxiety…not a fun place to be…but so many of us can relate! She then started reading books and listening to people who had gotten past their ED, and then found breathwork, which was the final piece of the puzzle to get her into full recovery! Breathwork can be a great tool for those with eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors.  Pause Breathwork Instagram: @PauseBreathwork Samatha’s Instagram: @SamanthaSkelly  Pause Breathwork App HERE!

OUTWEIGH: Week 3 with Crystal Lunenschloss (MS, RDN, LDN, CEDRD) is all about addressing this listener email that Amy recently received: Amy, I have a good friend who, pretty clearly, is battling an eating disorder. When we go out to eat somewhere, she often asks the server many questions about what’s in the food and then orders something and doesn’t eat any of it. She makes excuses saying she’s “never hungry”, but I, as her friend, am worried. She is underweight and I have noticed some of the behaviors you have talked about from your days with disordered eating. Do I gently say anything to her, perhaps that I am concerned? Or do I not say anything at all? I just hate seeing her this way and want to let her know that I am concerned, but in a loving manner. Do you have any idea on how to approach her about the situation? I would love your thoughts!!! Thanks, Anonymous (we omitted her name for privacy) Crystal became a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian to help people reconnect and heal their relationship with food and their bodies and we are SO THANKFUL that she joined us the last 3 weeks with her wisdom.

Our guest today is @BrookeRozzie (nutritional and fitness coach + expert in women’s hormones). Amy asked Brooke to start off with a little bit of her eating disorder story from her childhood and how she got into recovery. Brooke is a hormone expert…so she also shared why it’s important to not restrict when you’re leading up to your cycle…you need the calories! If you’re craving certain things or you’re more hungry than usual during that time…it makes sense…and we need to listen to our bodies! Amy shared her experience of restricting when her body for sure needed more calories and that ultimately would lead to a binge for her. Learning to navigate what eating adequately looks like as you enter recovery is difficult…but it is possible!!

Amy shared a rundown of things she saw online this week that were an encouragement to her and good reminders for us all to keep in our back pockets! Reminders like: Social media is not a dietitian. Eat like you won't binge later. Food is not something that has to be earned. Compliments that have nothing to do with weight.

If you struggle with feelings of shame around your eating disorder, you are not alone and that's the point that Amy drives home in this episode! She started off by sharing an encouraging email from a listener named Sarah (who kindly reminded us that we have the power to tune out "disordered talk" so that we don't end up engaging in toxic behaviors that we're exposed to). Amy also shared a blog post from one of our favorite eating disorder therapists, Jennifer Rollin, that gives a handful of compassionate responses to eating disorder thoughts that we might be having. Amy had a lot of shame around her binge/purge behaviors for many years, but now she knows that the more we speak up about eating disorders, the more we can start to eliminate the shame and stigma. Amy wrapped things up by suggesting Episode 95 of the Brain Over Binge Podcast (Creating Motivation to Stop Binge Eating) if you're frustrated that you haven't been able to fully stop binge eating (a place that Amy was in for several months when she first started her recovery journey!)  Follow the hosts on instagram: @lisahayim @radioamy   SUBSCRIBE and follow so you never miss an episode and SHARE with your friends & family.  Questions?

Certified eating disorder coach Kristie Amadio is our guest today. After 14 years of battling her eating disorder and seeking treatment in both Australia and New Zealand—where she was told she was ‘chronic’ and should expect to struggle with food and body image issues for the rest of her life—Kristie flew to America for intensive treatment and made a full recovery. Kristie was stunned by the gap and unequal access to support and resources both here and overseas, so she resolved to make cost effective support available to everyone, no matter where they lived. By working online and living with people in recovery all around the world, Kristie Amadio is adding a new dimension to the platform used to treat eating disorders. “All you need is to have the curiosity of what it would be like to not have an eating disorder in order to start your journey to recovery.” - Kristie Amadio  Learn more about Kristie’s work here: https://www.recoveredliving.com  Kristie’s Tedx Talk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ut3rxb1nwc Follow the hosts on instagram:@lisahayim@radioamySUBSCRIBE and follow so you never miss an episode and SHARE with your friends & family. Questions?

This episode is all about recovery and hope! Being in recovery is not easy and some may wonder “is recovery ever going to be worth it?” Amy is just starting to feel the shift after 2 years of recovery…so she opened up to Kat DeFatta (today’s guest) about the “hijacked foods” that she now feels okay bringing back into her life (i.e. green juice, lemon water, kale, etc…). Letting go of an eating disorder is never easy…but it’s possible…it takes time and hard work…but it is possible…and recovery (spoiler alert) is worth it. Thank you licensed therapist, Kat Defatta, for joining us with her wisdom.

In this fourth episode, Amy shared some of her personal story and how denying a binge could look like restricting {Amy also references ‘Brain Over Binge’ - a book she credits to kick-starting her recovery!} Michelle talked about permission and choice: "You always have the option to do these behaviors." Binging & restricting behaviors might get passed on to your kids…so remember children are watching us and we want to break the disordered eating/eating disorder cycle!

It is 'National Eating Disorder Awareness' Week. NEDA Week helps spread awareness, reduces the stigma, and educates others about eating disorders, so Amy (@RadioAmy) sat down with Kat Defatta (@Kat.Defatta), a licensed therapist that specializes in eating disorders, to do just that by answering some questions on the topic. In this episode you will hear their thoughts (personally and professionally) on OA (overeaters anonymous), using Vyvanse for BED (binge eating disorder), and what to do when you are over stressed and want to engage in a maladaptive coping skill or eating disorder behavior. Both Amy and Kat want you to know that you are not alone and help is available. To spread that message we just have to start talking about it more.

Michelle Pillepich is a Registered Dietitian AND personal trainer who knows that exercise (even intense exercise!) CAN be JUST AS healthy for the mind and body as gentle movement. This year, she ran the New York City Marathon– but she shied away from showing it on her social media channels. With some reflection, she realized that it’s important for people to know that YOU CAN RECOVER and ALSO do “intense exercise.” She never restricted, didn’t beat herself up over the number, and honored her body along the way. We also cover the different levels of treatment available for eating disorders and the benefits of group coaching. Learn about Michelle’s new program, Simply Intuitive here: https://michelle-pillepich.mykajabi.com/simply-intuitiveIs it an Eating Disorder or Disordered Eating Episode HERE!Follow Michelle on Instagram over at @michellepillepichnutritionFollow the hosts on instagram@lisahayim@radioamySUBSCRIBE and follow so you never miss an episode and SHARE with your friends & family. Questions?

We live in a world that allows us to filter and/or edit any pictures we put up online (whether on social media or dating apps). It can really mess with our self image. If we keep seeing ourselves filtered over and over again...we are going to be disappointed when we look in the mirror. It's okay to want to like what you look like in a picture, but to what extremes are we going through to get that perfect picture? And what if we displayed our personality more online instead of curating a bunch of perfect pictures? We have the ability to create a firm foundation of who we are and why we are online. When we have that foundation...we are less likely to seek affirmation from people on these platforms because we have it from ourselves. Follow the hosts on instagram!@lisahayim@radioamySUBSCRIBE and follow so you never miss an episode and SHARE with your friends & family. Questions?

In keeping with the theme of discarding diet culture rules, Laura Lea started making 'treat videos' to practice eating and sharing foods that used to be off limits. Her journey to this point wasn't easy, but what food freedom means to her, right now, is this: if she wants something that is conventionally considered ‘indulgent’ or ‘unhealthy’, she has it, she enjoys every bite until she's satisfied, and she doesn't create meaning or stories or value judgments about it before, during or after. We hope this chat about her 'treat videos' and the meaning behind them is helpful to those of you who would love to have cake as you please, even for breakfast! Instagram Handle: @lauraleabalancedWebsite: www.llbalanced.com This podcast was edited by Houston Tilley Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Victoria discusses how GI issues (in general) can both cause and be caused by orthorexic tendencies, and helps us find clarity on this confusing topic.

Alexis Barber of @Wellnesslexis is 21-year-old Black content creator, and she’s decided that both she and you are too smart to diet. Coming from a low income family, her “smarts” unlocked scholarships to go to elite private schools and earn an Ivy League degree. Being “smart” became her identity, and when she couldn’t “master her weight” she turned to dieting. But at age 21, amidst a pandemic, she had had enough, realizing she is enough-- and that she’s actually TOO smart to diet. Follow us on instagram:@radioamy@lisahayimHave a topic you want us to cover, or a guest you want us to bring on?
