Living with an inner critic in your mind that relentlessly makes you feel bad about your body..
That tells you how âbadâ you are for eating a slice of cakeâŠ
That convinces you that you're weak, a failure, and not enough - is EXHAUSTING!
But what if the way to rid yourself of these mean thoughts wasnât to focus on actually getting rid of them?
Because so far, that hasnât worked. Itâs only causing you to get more frustrated with yourself.
What if the answer was not to fight these mean thoughts, but to lean in to them?
In this podcast episode, licensed therapist Robin Gutman, shares with us a revolutionary therapy approach to heal your body image and relationship with food that will help you drop the fight with your mean thoughts and heal in a way that is kind, compassionate, and realistic.
In this episode we cover:
What is the Internal Family Systems approach and how can it help you heal from negative body image, food rules, and binging.
What your mind sounds like when you binge (youâll want to hear this!!)
How your negative thoughts and inner bully have become protective mechanisms (and why they are so hard to let go of, even when it's making you miserable)
How to let go of these maladaptive protective mechanisms so you can live at peace with yourself, with food, and your body.

The sooner you focus on the RIGHT things to build your business and work with dream clients, the sooner youâll achieve that goal and live out your vision of success.
Looking back, when I began my entrepreneur journey, I stalled my own success because I was focusing on the wrong things. Things I thought were important but actually werenât.
As soon as I understood what actually matters in building a successful business and took action in that direction, I signed on dream clients, created and fully booked programs and scaled my business to have the time and location freedom I now have.
In this episode, I share with you the 3 things I would do differently, knowing what I know now, to accelerate that success - so that you achieve it faster!
In this episode we cover:
Why you donât need to waste time creating a website (and what to use instead!)
The type of content you actually need to be creating to attract your ideal client
One big mistake to avoid that will cause you to lose clients
Why mindset should be your #1 priority to build a successful business

Do you feel like you are âgoodâ all week, even month, and then your period comes along and RUINS it all with intense cravings that send you spiraling into a binge and shame fest?
One thing I WISH I knew years ago was that period cravings are NORMAL.
It's so sad that as women diet culture conditions us to believe that all we need is more "willpower" to beat period cravings.. or to eat some frozen grapes instead??? (um, how are we even comparing grapes to a big ol' bowl of trix? Do ya think my taste buds are dumb?!).
It is this exact mindset that causes the period binges, {first_name}!
Now, while period cravings are normal, and youâll understand WHY in this podcast episode⊠Binges are not.
When you understand WHY you have cravings and how to honor them so that you don't spiral into chaotic eating and feeling even worse than you already are (periods are not fun to begin with!).. it is so empowering to then give your body what it needs without guilt or fear.
Which is why I'm excited to bring back one of the most popular episodes on the podcast (and one of my personal favorite interview!!) with hormone specialist and Registered Dietitian Amanda Montalvo.
In this episode we cover:
understanding your hormonal changes at every part of your period cycle
WHY you have cravings, specifically carbs (yes, there is a physiological REASON)
how to identify a hormonal imbalance (what's normal and what's not) and what to do about it
Reasons you are binge eating on your period (it's not because of your period) and how to break free of this cycle

I had a Youtuber make a hate video about me and my account to his 60K+ subscribers.
People have said to me âI donât get why so many people follow you.â
A family member told me Iâm not a ârealâ dietitian if Iâm not helping people lose weight.
If youâre scared people will not value your work as an Intuitive Eating Dietitian, Iâm gonna shoot straight with ya - youâre right.
Thatâs no reason to hold yourself back from showing up and doing this life changing work you were meant to do!
Donât let people in the cheap seats have an expensive opinion on your life and determine your value for you!
If you struggle with feeling enough as a Food Freedom Professional.
If you doubt yourself and your ability.
If you fear being judged.
This podcast episode is for you.
I share with you how I overcame my own fears of other peopleâs opinions and how I address criticism, such as the ones I shared with you above. And more importantly, how you can get out of your own way, build your confidence and show up fully so you can change lives and build the practice and life of your dreams!
In this episode we cover:
The real reasons you struggle with being judged as a Food Freedom Professional & how to address the fear at its root
How I addressed criticism given to me as an Intuitive Eating Dietitian
What you actually need to feel confident in yourself and show up in the face of judgment!

If you struggle with mindful eating - this podcast episode will be a GAME CHANGER for you!
Chances are, if youâve been on the dieting train for years, then everything you learned about mindful eating is wrong!
In fact, your attempt to eat mindfully might actually be fueling MORE food chaos.
In this episode youâll understand what true mindful eating should look and feel like and how to achieve mindfulness with your meals to eat ways that feel good to your body - without the food rules and stress!
Iâll also be sharing with you my #1 tip to eat mindfully if the whole idea of becoming a mindful eater feels overwhelming or too much work for you - especially if you're leading a busy life and the idea of having every meal be mindful, letâs be honest, feels unrealistic (as a mom of 4 I feel youuuu!)
I share this tip with my clients and it always results in breakthroughs and more mindful eating during meals, which in turn helps them eat in ways that serve them and their body better.
In this episode we cover:
Diet cultureâs definition of mindful eating vs the true definition of mindful eating
How to assess if youâre truly trying to eat mindfully or if its restriction in disguise (that is making your eating habits worse!!)
My #1 tip to eat mindfully when you feel like youâre not a âmindful personâ or the idea of mindful eating feels like an overwhelming goal
As always, once you give it a listen, Iâd love to hear your takeaways and feedback! And if you found this episode helpful, Iâd so appreciate your support of this podcast by leaving a review.

Do you feel like all of your struggles with food lead you to believing that you must have a food addiction?
I get it. For years I felt the same! I felt like I must be addicted to food because who else would eat copious amounts of food to the point of feeling physically horrible (and sometimes with foods that I wasnât even enjoying!!)
And with all the fear mongering media about how sugar is addictive, it's easy for binge eaters to believe they are food addicts.
But⊠are you??
In todayâs episode we dive into the concept of food addiction and dispelling myths around this topic.
Registered Dietitian, Marci Evans, an expert in the field of eating disorders and body image healing, who has extensively reviewed the research on food addiction, walks us through that research and what is the real underlying factor that makes so many feel out of control with food â and what you can do to stop feeling this way and heal your relationship with food, effectively!
In this episode we cover:
Why so many people who binge eat so easily believe that they are addicted to food
The difference between feeling addicted and being addicted
The neuroscience of addiction (and does food fit that criteria)
How to stop feeling addicted to food if you binge eat
As always, once you give it a listen, Iâd love to hear your takeaways and feedback! And if you found this episode helpful, Iâd so appreciate your support of this podcast by leaving a review.

Do you worry that if you have any thoughts of desiring weight loss you will not be able to heal your body image?
Or worse, you might be undoing the progress youâve already made?
This was the fear my client, Amy, shared with me in a recent session.
She was making great progress in stopping to binge eat and removing food guilt from her food choices. She was learning to accept that her body at her thinnest was not the healthy weight for her because she needed to keep restricting and obsess about food to maintain it and that was not how she wanted to live the rest of her life.
Yet, this past week, she kept having nagging thoughts of wishing she was back to that thinner body. She feared it meant she was going backward in her healing journey and it was creating a lot of stress that she was doing body image healing âwrongâ.
In our session, I helped Amy not only overcome this fear, but also set realistic expectations and learn how to navigate bad body image thoughts and days in ways that will help her deepen her healing instead of going backward.
She left feeling relieved, hopeful, and empowered to continue making progress in her body image healing journey.
The positive impact our conversation had on Amy inspired this podcast episode where I share with you the insights, mindset shifts, and tools that I gave Amy to feel empowered to heal her body image and better in her own skin (even when weight loss thoughts came up!!).
In this episode we cover:
The fear Rachelâs client, Amy, had about regressing in her body image healing & how Rachel helped her overcome this fear
How to set realistic expectations for your body image healing journey (Rachel does a quick exercise to bring you back to reality on how long the healing journey may take for you)
The reason body image healing runs so deep & can take time to fully heal
How to use your negative body image thoughts as fuel for healing
Can you heal your body image if you still desire weight loss?
How to reframe your thoughts to be more positive in a realistic and BELIEVABLE way (a step by step approach)

Through her own story of struggle and triumph she now helps other women navigate this season in life in a way that leaves them feeling excited and empowered to care for their body in place of confusion, fear, or defeat - without restriction, negative self talk or dieting.
In this episode we cover:
How to identify signs and symptoms of perimenopause and its onset
How to set your expectations of what your menopause journey might look like
Navigating body changes that come with menopause

Maybe you're not an emotional eater in the way that you thought you were...
I can't even tell you how many times a client comes to me saying she's an emotional eater only to discover through working together that it was a symptom of a different issue. When we work on that core issue, her "emotional eating" isn't a struggle anymore. Because we got to the ROOT of the matter.
Today, Iâm sharing with you the insights, tools, and support I give my emotional eating clientsâŠso that you, too, can stop feeling out of control with food in reactive ways that donât serve you.
There is, of course, a time and place to embrace eating emotionally. It is a natural part of life that should be enjoyed, not demonized.
However, if it isnât feeling good to you or serving you, it is important to learn how to cope with your emotions in a healthy way.
More importantly though, you need to first know what type of emotional eating you are dealing with (and it may possibly not even be emotional eating but part of a bigger issue you need to identify) to effectively stop feeling out of control with food in this way!
Iâm dropping all the light bulb moments for you in this weekâs episode where we cover::
Identifying if you are actually an emotional eater (surprise! You may think you are but actually are not!)
The 3 types of Emotional Eaters
How to resolve the food chaos for each one

How many times have you said to yourselfâŠ
âIf I had more time I would launch my businessâ
âIf I had more time, I would work outâ
âIf I had more time Iâd prepare more nourishing mealsâ
âIf I had more time I would start that instagram accountâ
âIf I had more time I would go on date nightâ
I get it. Life can get BUSY! As a mom of 4 who is also running a business, donât I know it!
I often get asked: âRach, how do you do it all?â
Iâll tell you this much right now - I absolutely do NOT do it all. And thatâs part of how you get what MATTERS done!
In fact, time management was one of my biggest struggles. If Iâm honest, it is still a work in progress as life only gets busier but I am getting better at it and Iâve recently had major breakthroughs that has reduced the stress around it!
It requires LOTS of mindset shifts and practical strategies in order to make time for what you need to get done that will contribute to continued progress toward your dreams and goals so that you are living an aligned life you feel good about!
Today Iâm sharing with you what those mindset shifts and strategies are and HOW to know what actually matters to you⊠as well as why I took an unplanned break from podcasting for 5 MONTHS (and no, it was not because I had âno timeâ).
In this episode we cover:
The real reason youâre stressing out about your endless to-do list - and how to release that stress
The mindset shifts you need to prioritize the correct things that actually matter.
Detaching your self worth from your productivity
Letting go of the martyr mentality that you may not even be aware you have
Why I have been MIA for the last 5 months and the limiting beliefs I had to overcome to come back.
Why a morning routine is NOT what you should focus on to be more productive (and what you should focus on instead that will maximize your efficiency in the morning + all day long)
Practical tips to set up your day for success so you can be efficient with your time and get what matters done!
If youâve ever felt like you just âdonât have enough timeâ to get what you want done and its overwhelming and stressing you out - this episode is a game changer and youâll want to tune in!

Past client Yael, shares her inspiring journey to food freedom and body peace!
The moment Yael realized that she was simultaneously obsessed with and afraid of food, and how unhealthy that was, was the moment that her life shifted for the better. She knew she couldnât tackle her food rules and fears on her own, so she reached out for help.
In this episode, Yael shares about growing up in diet culture and how she overcame her food rules and fears. She shares specific steps she took to overcome fear of food rules and weight gain and is now able to eat freely in a way that serves her and feels good - and most importantly, allows her to live in alignment with what truly matters to her in life.
If the idea of reaching full food & body freedom feels overwhelming and you doubt yourself and ask: Is it possible for me?
The answer is YES! If itâs possible for Yael then itâs possible for you too - this episode will not only inspire you, but also provide you with actionable tips that have helped Yael heal and will help, too!
In this episode, we cover:
[4:43] Yael shares a bit about herself. [6:00] How Yael originally became ensnared in diet culture. [9:26] The moment that Yael realized that she needed help to heal her relationship with food and body [15:50] Yael shares why she feared weight gain. [21:43] What helped Yael ease into allowing herself to eat carbs after restricting for so long. [41:33] How Yael dealt with & overcame the emotional-social aspects of her disordered eating. [45:13] How Yael handled her familyâs comments about her body size changing. [1:04:33] How Yael was able to realize her dream of going to culinary school and how she navigated eating intuitively during this experience. -
If youâve ever been curious about the power of manifesting (or doubting the concept, chalking it up to âwoo-wooâ vibes), this episode is for you.
When you look for all the reasons that your dream wonât work: thatâs what you will find.
There is strength to be found in continuing to follow your aligned path, even when you can find all the reasons that the timing isnât perfect.
You donât need to know exactly how your dreams are going to become reality in your life. Keep taking messy aligned action toward being in the place where that can become part of your reality.
But is it worth the risk? I believe that a life half-lived is scarier than taking the risk to try.
Iâm sharing my story of moving from Brooklyn to New Jersey with its many twists and turns and imperfect timing to encourage you to continue to be open to the possibilities.
If youâve been wondering if thereâs any power in the manifestation sphere or how to do it - my move is full of why it is powerful and how to use the power of manifestation into reality - along with some myth busting on manifestation is and isnât.
In this episode, we cover:
[0:41] The background about our move from Brooklyn to New Jersey. [5:21] The point where I aligned my values with how I operated in my business and the steps we took in abundance to make my childhood visualization come true. [8:06] The conversation with my mindset coach that prompted my messy aligned actions. [15:22] How I learned to stop looking for perfection while figuring it out. [16:47] The whirlwind of finding a new home and giving birth and what Iâve learned about seasons and being uncomfortable while chasing your dreams. [23:30] How focusing on âI will figure this outâ helped me through uncertainty and quieted anxiety. [26:15] Actionable steps to take to manifest your dreams. -
You are more than your job title. More than just what you choose to do. You have layers to your personality, struggles, and triumphs.
The question is⊠are you allowing ALL of you to be seen and expressed? Or are you keeping yourself locked inside of a box that you created for yourself?
Over the past year I have found myself craving MORE than being the âIntuitive Eating Dietitianâ, but kept myself caged inside the box I imposed on myself. And it wasnât feeling good.
Iâve finally given myself permission to evolve and grow in directions outside of what Iâve usually done or what I'm usually âknown forâ, even if it's unfamiliar territory. Even if itâs messy.
Because it feels aligned. And it feels GOOD! And thatâs what this new chapter is all about!!
I hope that you will give yourself permission to evolve and grow alongside me.Iâm sharing with you what walking The Aligned Path looks like for me in this season and how I hope it inspires you to do the same!
If youâve been holding yourself back from pursuing the dreams and goals you know are meant for you, but are just too scared to take action, either because of your own limiting beliefs or you worry about what others might think - this episode is for you!In this episode, we cover:
[0:44] What has prompted the changes to the podcast [4:30] The power of giving yourself permission to evolve and what Rachel is learning as she opens this new chapter [7:21] The freedom that comes from cutting out the noise from limiting beliefs [8:51] The one thing that helped shift the balance for Rachel when confronting her own limiting beliefs [11:35] The importance of pursuing purpose-alignment, even when it means stepping outside of your comfort zone [13:03] What you can expect from this space moving forward -
If youâve lived in diet culture for any length of time, then you are familiar with the yo-yo cycle.
Even though you know itâs probably not the best thing for you (it hasnât worked the last 10 times, has it?), itâs hard to resist when every turn you go you see promises of weight loss attached with the dream life youâre made to believe youâll get as a result.
You might think⊠whatâs the harm in trying just ONE more new diet? Maybe this one will be the one that you will finally be able to stick to and will get you results.
Have you ever stopped to consider whatâs happening to your body when you live in this cycle?
It is not harmless. Diets are actually damaging to your body and health.
In todayâs episode with Elaina Efird, a Registered Dietitian who specializes in metabolic testing, we discuss what dieting actually does to your body and how to opt out of this vicious cycle so you can focus on your health and peace of mind.
Youâll understand the science of what is happening inside your body when you start and end a diet, how the normal cycles of life affect weight, the importance of evaluating the nutrition advice you take from social media (and how to filter through the red flags!), and why itâs good for your health to throw out all the food rules and actually to enjoy your food!
In this episode we cover:
[3:30] How Elaina got into dietetics and working with eating disorder patients [6:30] The science behind macronutrients and why carbs are not the enemy [10:16] Elaina dispels myths around the newer trends in diet culture [14:02] Advice on how to evaluate social media nutrition trends and when its a red flag of disordered eating [18:51] Why itâs normal to gain weight in your 20s [21:40] The nuance thatâs involved in evaluating weight gain and weight loss [25:30] What happens to your body physiologically when you remove too many calories or nutrient [28:58] Understanding a weight loss plateau & set weight point [30:42] What happens to your metabolism and muscle mass when you have a caloric deficit [32:56] How to reverse the damage done by dieting [34:34] The relationship between stopping to binge eat and your weight [37:38] Elainaâs advice on body image issues that inevitably come up when healing your relationship with food

Even if you are doing your best to practice intuitive eating and reconnect with your body, itâs easy to let the old mentality of ârules-based eatingâ slip back in and have that negative self-talk return.
It can be especially frustrating if you feel like you're trying to be âmindfulâ of your food choices but keep failing and falling back to old eating habits.
But are you truly practicing mindfulness, or is your attempt to be mindful setting you back into your ârule-basedâ eating & negative self-talk?
If youâve noticed yourself reverting back into food rules & judgemental thoughts and feel like âmindfulnessâ is not working and you arenât eating intuitively (and maybe you are reading this and feel completely confused because you don't really know the difference between mindful eating and intuitive eating) then todayâs podcast episode is for you!
We are joined by Paige Smathers, a Registered Dietitian who supports people in finding and learning to make peace with food and body image in a compassionate and self aware way.
In this episode we discuss how mindfulness and intuitive eating can (and should!) work together to help heal your relationship with food and body image, how not to use mindfulness (the ways in which it can backfire!), the potential pitfalls of self-esteem and the critical role that self-compassion plays in our food freedom journeys, as well as the importance of learning to accept failures (and reframing them! Because you canât really fail!) as part of the process to make forward progress.
In this episode we cover:
[3:13] Paigeâs journey to becoming an intuitive eating dietitian. [7:16] The impact compassionate self talk can have on those struggling with disordered eating [8:36] The differences and similarities between mindfulness, mindful eating, and intuitive eating and how both are needed to eat in alignment with your body [24:28] How Intuitive Eating is portrayed on social media and why its not the full picture [27:39] Self-compassion research: what does it show, what is it, and what role it plays in intuitive eating [34:51] The benefits of self-compassion in your life and how to practice it more on a daily basis

Youâve probably heard this common diet advice a million times âit's all about calories in, calories outâ.
You go on diet plans that give you an allotted calorie amount you can eat, and then you obsess over nutrition facts labels and find youâve turned into a human calculator adding up numbers all day and spending your energy making sure you donât go over that number.
Itâs quite exhausting, isnât it?
Youâve been told it's all in the name of health⊠but is it??
And do you really need to count calories to achieve YOUR healthy weight?
Have you actually ever asked yourself, what actually IS a calorie? What does it do? And what actual importance does it have in my overall health if Iâm not attaching it to size?
If youâve been stressing about counting calories or have ever felt guilty for eating a snack that has âtoo many caloriesâ, this podcast episode is for you!!
This episode sheds light on the actual role of calories as it relates to your health, and will help you change the way you evaluate the foods you choose to eat based on more than just the number of calories.
Youâll also understand how our bodies use calories, the importance of learning to listen to our hunger and fullness cues, and what happens to your health and weight when you eat in alignment with your bodyâs needs.
In this episode we cover:
[2:25] What a calorie is, how it functions within the body, and how your body regulates calories [4:00] What processes are happening in your body when you are hungry [5:54] Should you be micromanaging calories to help regulate weight or not and what happens when you begin to eat in alignment with your bodyâs needs [8:55] How calorie deficits actually affect the psychological and physiological mechanisms in your body

The athlete world is FULL of disordered eating advice! But if youâre an athlete you may not know that. You may be thinking this advice is normal.. And then be judging yourself for not being able to adhere to that advice.
Or maybe you were âstrong enoughâ to stick to your regimented (and often unhealthy) way of eating as an athlete but feel completely lost on what life with food and your body âshouldâ look like, not that youâve retired (or are no longer able to train).
If you struggle with your relationship with food and feel confused on what ânormal eatingâ should look like as a former athlete, or are stressing about body changes that are happening as a result, this podcast episode with former Division 1 Athlete and Registered Dietitian, Katie Spada, is the one you want to listen to!

Do you feel like diet culture has stolen a part of your life?
Do you believe that if it werenât for a certain person in your life who made comments about your body size and food, or perhaps certain experiences that made you feel like your body is wrong or you arenât âgood enoughâ for not having more self discipline to stop âeating so muchâ, then you would not have had to deal with your current struggles with food and body image?
Itâs so easy to feel like a victim of diet culture in whatever way it has manifested and showed up in your life. In many ways, if youâve experienced such encounters, you have been a victim.
But where is the line drawn between acknowledging victimization and having that turn (even subconsciously) into victimhood?
Your mindset and how you relate to your past experience, and how you choose to move forward, play such a huge factor in your healing journey and being able to reclaim your power back from diet culture.
Letâs be clear, victimization doesnât necessarily mean youâve experienced only one extremely traumatic event in your life. Victimization can arise from any negative experiences that contribute to self-sabotaging behaviors - including diet culture and how that damage is continuing to impact your current behavior.
In todayâs episode, Rachel walks you through the differences between victimization and victimhood, why its important to identify the difference and how address each one in your food-freedom journey, including the two important steps to take to change your mindset - so you can truly let go of diet cultureâs grip in your life and take back the narrative to live a healthy, happy, free, and full life that you deserve!
In this episode we cover:
[1:31] The difference between being victimized and victimhood [3:55] The importance of validating victimization and differentiating that from self-sabotaging behaviors that fuel a victimhood mentality - how do we do that? [5:00] How to resolve self-sabotaging behaviors in relation to food [12:00] How to take ownership of your past experiences in order to break free of victimhood
