New roundtable podcast on disordered eating is up! George Bryant, Stacy Toth, Sarah the Paleo Mom, Tara of Primal Girl, and more.
I recently had the enormous delight and honor to hang out and chat with George, Stacy, Sarah, and Tara about our personal experiences and opinions on body image – on The Paleo View for the third time in four months. Awesome! The podcast has now been posted, and there are also extensive show notes at the link if you don’t have the time to listen and just want to get the gist of it. These are really powerful people with big time ideas, and I love them all so much, they’re such wonderful friends and real people who are inspiring for both of those facts in equal measure.
George and Stacy on bulimia, me on perfectionism, how people treat you differently when you change your appearance — literally – do you become more visible? an object? – what happens when your fourth grade teacher tells you you’re fat, and how the shape of your self love changes as your weight loss / health efforts move forward.

Interview on the Paleo View Podcast: What is a Normal Menstrual Cycle?
This week I had the most delightful opportunity to speak again with Stacy of Paleo Parents and Sarah the Paleo Mom on their podcast, The Paleo View.
In this episode we disucss Diva and Lunette cups, the toxicity of tampons, how to reduce cramping and PMS, why weight loss before pregnancy is bad for your baby, and my opinion on what a “normal” menstrual cycle is.
If you have questions on fertility, hormone balance, weight loss, and love sassy women voices, it’s one of my favorite podcasts yet.

Interview and in-depth discussion of my views on PCOS on Sean Croxton’s Underground Wellness
Sean and I took the time a couple of weeks ago to sit down and really dig into the nitty gritty details of Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. It was a delightful interview and I encourage anyone interested in female hormones to take a listen.
In it we discuss the primary causes of PCOS and why it causes infertility, the different impacts of PCOS on overweight and underweight women, what I believe the different types of PCOS are, why women suffer health problems such as depression, anxiety, acne, and gut issues at twice the rate of men, and what hormones are necessary for a raging female libido.

Episode ten of Live. Love. Eat. with self-love guru Karly Randolph Pitman has now been posted!
Episode ten of Live. Love. Eat. has now been posted! In it I had the enormous honor of speaking with Karly Randolph Pitman, a woman who’s compassion, love, power, and wisdom is nearly palpable in just a skype conversation. Possibly the podcast that resonates the most with my own story, as well as with what I believe are the most powerful methods and insights for overcoming disordered eating.
In this episode, Karly and I discuss her history with bingeing and restricting, why everyone overeats at night, how marriage can’t fix your brain, and how the question why can ruin your (and nearly ruined my own) life.
———————–
Each episode of Live. Love. Eat. is an interview with someone who has stepped up to share the story of her (or his) relationships with food and with her body. She may be a disordered eater, he may be a paleo dieter, she may be totally at peace with her body or not. The whole point being that I can do all of the writing on my blog here that I want, but I will never be able to do something as empowering, comforting, and inspiring as sharing with y’all the beautiful and brilliant lives of others.

Karly Randolph Pitman is in love with the human heart. With a bold goal of creating a world of compassion and belonging – where we’re free to give and receive love – she’s leading a movement to befriend our tender, imperfect human selves.
Karly helps people awaken by embracing every part of themselves with radical compassion. This process heals the roots of compulsive habits, fosters emotional healing, and removes the barriers to love. The result is belonging. Wholeness. Homecoming.
Karly is the creator of growing human(kind)nessTM, an integrative approach to heal the roots of food suffering like binge eating, food addiction, and body hatred – the arena in which she learned about self love. Growing human(kind)nessTM is a map for creating a loving, merciful relationship with your emotions, needs, thoughts, feelings, and precious body itself. This inner work changes how you relate to yourself, how you think about yourself, how you talk to yourself, and how you care for yourself.
Karly has done most of her work on overcoming sugar addiction, most of which can be found here. To see her most recent work, the 30 Day Lift, a program designed to heal self-love scars and overcome sugar addiction and bingeing in 30 days, go here.

Episode eight of Live. Love. Eat. has now been posted! In it I had the enormous honor of speaking with George Bryant, an enormously kick ass soul and dear friend of mine, who also happens to be super famous and to run the website Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations, as well as the new e-Cookbook, Caveman Feast.
In this episode, George and I discuss his history with eating disorders, the damaging effects of weight regulation in the military, what it means to be a man with body image issues, the lessons a recent car accident taught George, and why he no longer cares about looking hot.

Check it out! In the podcast, we talk not just about Brad’s chiropractry and my work on PCOS Unlocked, but also why Americans are so fat, why babies’ first food should be meat, and how (and why ) I cook 90 percent of my meals in the microwave.

Read MoreAnswering questions on weight loss on the Paleo View podcast
Last week I joined Stacy and Sarah in a discussion on weight loss on episode six of their lovely podcast, The Paleo View.
In it, we discuss how to maintain momentum in weight loss, whether or not we think exercise is important for weight loss, the trouble with using restrictive language, whether or not we each eat paleo “treats,” foods to be wary of during weight loss, and — get this! – what I am currently eating, and how and why, on a daily basis.
You’ve been asking me for years, and now it was ambushed out of me.
Enjoy!

A woman who’s journey at many points has been very similar to mine, and similar also to many of yours. She can be found at The Paleo Angel.
