Episode #100: Intuitive Eating and Cancer Care and Recovery with Tamar Rothenberg

Tamar Rothenberg, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian who specializes in recovery after breast cancer offers her clients non-diet and weight neutral option support.

On the podcast, Tamar shares how important it is to debunk faulty information that we receive from wellness culture on juice cleanses, clean eating and supplements. She clarifies that we can’t prevent cancer, we can only reduce the risk of cancer occurrence. She reminds us that getting cancer isn’t anyone’s fault and that no one did anything wrong if they have the experience of cancer.

We also talked about how beneficial the practice of intuitive eating is with cancer care and recovery because it’s about self-care, not self-control.

Episode #97: Debunking “Love Yourself Thin” and Other Messages

There was a point in time, before I discovered Intuitive Eating, when I believed that my rocky childhood and poor self-image were the reasons I couldn’t keep food under control and stop eating emotionally. Sadly, a decade or so later, I’m hearing the same messages from diet culture that tell people they need to do the inner work if they want to lose weight. For example, when deciding on the title of this podcast, I found an article called “How to Overcome 5 Psychological Blocks to Weight Loss”. It’s easy to believe this advice when the authors are highly educated and the article is stamped “medically reviewed”. 

And guess what? In some ways, this message isn’t completely wrong. The work I do with my clients is all about challenging old beliefs and shifting mind-set. But where this advice goes wrong, and destructively so, is telling us that how we feel about ourselves and how we’ve been surviving is getting in the way of us achieving a body size they feel is appropriate. It’s incredibly deceitful and very tricky to piece apart. 

Which is why I wanted to highlight what these articles aren’t saying. I want you to be aware of the subtle assumptions that are probably making you blame yourself for diet failures and wondering what’s wrong with you. And I want to remind you of the truth; diets won’t deliver on long term weight loss and you don’t need to wait to lose weight to treat your body with great respect.
