Embracing Movement for Wellness: Beyond the Myths
This episode of the 'One Small Bite' podcast, hosted by David Orozco, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, delves into the misconceptions surrounding exercise, movement, and their impact on health and weight loss. David revisits the conversation with intern Dianna Thomas, an expert in movement and weight loss, focusing on personal experiences with diet culture and the importance of incorporating a weight-inclusive approach to helping clients enhance their health and wellness.
They debunk the myth of needing to engage in excessive exercise for health, discussing the signs of overtraining and emphasizing the benefits of integrating small, consistent movements into daily life for overall well-being. The episode highlights studies that question the rigid benchmarks of physical activity, like the 10,000-steps-a-day goal, advocating instead for enjoyable and sustainable forms of movement.
David's approachācentered on curiosity, compassion, commitment, and consistencyāencourages listeners to explore movement beyond conventional exercise, aiming for a healthy balance that fosters both physical and mental health for a long and nourished life One Small Bite at time!

Not so long ago I had a client that came to me wanting to find the best workout routine and diet plan to lose weight and keep it off. She felt the need to find a high intensity daily training fitness plan in order for her to lose the weight and keep it off for good. She was motivated and I remember she told me she had the "willpower" to stick with it this time. However, when she started working with me she discovered the secrete to exercise and movement. What she discovered will change your view on fitness.

Omega-3s can be a beneficial part of someone's diet, but unfortunately our oceans are being over fished to the point of depletion. What if we had an alternative to those fish oil Omega-3s? What if we could get a renewable and plant-based source of Omega-3s that can be just as healthy for us as the famous EPA and DHA omega-3s we get from fish?
Types of omega-3sHow Omega-3s are beneficial for our healthNew plant-based alternative sources of Omega-3sThe unfortunate over fishing of our oceansA meal plan for the day with health Fats

Listen in today to part two on my discussion on Fats, where I'll cover...Looking forward to having you join in today!

Something so common in the nutrition and health world is this idea of the magic bullet nutrient. Fats in food used to be that magic bullet for me. I used to think that if people could just get higher amounts of monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids in their diet, things would be so much better. Theyād be able to enjoy food, feel satiated more often, and not overeat.
Boy was this thinking flawed!
In this episode, I break down the skinny on fats in our diets. What they are, where they come from, and what to pay attention to. Listen in as I go through the four main groups of fats - Saturated, Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated, and Trans Fatty Acids. And then in my next episode Iāll discuss Omega-3s and some alternatives to Omega-3s that can help us enjoy a longer, more nourished life.
Iām excited for this one. This episode is packed with great information about the types of fats that are helpful, and what to look out for in the ones that arenāt. Come and join me in this two part series on the skinny on fats.

When people tell me supplements are safe because theyāre natural, I often tell them that poison ivy is also natural, but you wouldnāt be rubbing it all over your face. This is but one of many problems with supplements, and quite frankly just the way the industry likes it. Supplements are not a life-long solution for nutrition. If it were that easy, why would we need food?

Just like a vegetable or flower garden, living a full and long life requires several key elements to flourish. We know that hard work, dedication, and energy are necessary, but be aware of the things out of our control. For a garden it might be things like the weather, the amount of sunlight, or the critters that enjoy the fruits of your labor first. Longevity requires managing our behaviors like diet, exercising, and sleeping well, but it also requires a combined effort of community and support, access to quality education, access to quality healthcare, and a safe and secure environment. These things you might not have control over.
In todayās episode I will explore the Social Determinants of Health and how they interplay with our lifestyle habits and behaviors to enhance longevity and help us live a nourished life.

Which is it, live longer or live fuller? What's more important? This is actually some of the conversations I have with many of my clients. We obviously start with nutrition, but quickly move into the 'whys'. Meaning, once we start discussing why we make the food choices we do, life starts revealing itself more and more. However, what we discover is that living longer isn't only about eating the healthiest foods, it's about who we connect with, how we sleep, whether we are active on a regular basis, what habits get in the way, and more importantly the relationships we cultivate.

Back when I first started as a dietitian, I was on a mission to do two things for my practice ...
How meal plans perpetuate diet cultureHow they are too complicated Learn the pros and cons are and who they really benefitHow meal planning can be done in a simpler and more sustainable wayOne small approach to build a way of eating that is helpful for you
- Create the best meal plans for my clients
- Find the best foods to put in those plans
I wanted to make sure I could help people improve their health with the best meal plans out there.
Noble concept, right? Or at least I thought so!
I used to spend hours calculating all sorts of nutrients content to create the best meals plans. I wanted to make sure they were low calorie, but contained a variety of foods. I wanted to make sure they were low in saturated fat, sodium, and sugar. They also had to be low to no processed foods in these meal plans.
In this episode I'll discuss why meal plans are not really worth it.

Inflammation is part of the body's defense mechanism. It is the process by which the immune system recognizes and removes harmful and foreign stimuli and begins the healing process. Inflammation can be either acute or chronic. However, harmful stimuli may not be so foreign, and can actually be induced by ourselves.
Body shame, weight stigma, weight bias, is sizeism. Sizeism is a prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a personās size or weight. This means that there is an ever present and chronic level of stress and negativity about their body.
This stress, induced by emotional or mental negativity, can influence food choices. Often, we use hyper-palatable foods to help cope or soothe ourselves under these stressful situations. And, what's ironic is that stress is that very stimuli that increases inflammation. So is it the food or the stress that's leading to inflammation.In this episode I'll discuss the interplay between food choices, mental health, and inflammation. I will discuss...

I came across this article the other day titled Beyond Hunger: Understanding Food Noise, and I thought āOh, this is interesting, Food Noise. I wonder if itās something about intuitive eating or an article about weight-inclusivity.ā Well spoiler alert, it isn't.

Do you remember that saying in Jurassic Park when Dr. Alan Grant said ājust because you can, doesnāt mean you should.ā This has always stuck with me, and is even now more relevant in our digital society.

What's the benefit of using one if you don't have diabetes? Is there an actual benefit?

Do you check your phone first thing in the morning, while burning your tongue on hot coffee, shoving a bagel on the way to work, and anxious about a million things? Are you the type of person that writes endless to-do lists each day, completes two of them, and then writes the same ones all over again and more the next day? Do you go nonstop all day long and barely have time have a meal. Are you that person that brags about getting up at 5 am to workout, and can get by with 5-6 hours of sleep?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then congratulations! Youāre a member of the Hustle or Grind Culture.
