So you ditched dieting, stopped tracking and decided to start doing intuitive eating, and therefore you gave yourself permission to eat whatever you want. And now it feels a bit chaotic, unstructured, and you find yourself wondering, "Am I doing this right?" as you watch the number on the scale go up, and your labs get worse. If intuitive eating has gotten twisted into grabbing whatever's in front of you, finishing food just because it's there, or telling yourself "I'm allowed to" without ever actually checking in with your body…this episode is your wake-up call. Because that's not intuitive eating. It's IMPULSIVE eating. (oops…that's ok we're going to fix it today!) If you've been wondering why intuitive eating hasn't fully "clicked" yet, this episode will show you exactly what's missing, and what it actually takes to become someone who lives this work instead of just understanding the gist of it. Episode Highlights -The critical difference between permission and chaos -Why "eat whatever, whenever" is missing key components -The skill set most people skip over that's damaging your health -What REAL intuitive eating looks like in everyday life Today's Wellness Woo is longevity medicine.   Resources Mentioned: - Join me for Intuitive Eating Exploration: https://www.nondietacademy.com/explore   Read the full episode show notes here: https://wwwkatyharvey.net/podcast226    Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

You might think you're doing intuitive eating, but if you're feeling frustrated, uncertain or stuck…there's a good chance that you're not actually doing it the way it's meant to be done. No shame in that, this is really common.    In this episode, I'm going to walk you through 5 signs that tell us you're not doing intuitive eating correctly or in its entirety, and what you need to do differently to make it work for you.    If you're: - Still calling food like chips and cookies junk - Letting the scale dictate your self esteem - Telling yourself that you're getting healthier by skipping carbs at lunch - Looking at old photos of yourself and comparing your current body and beating yourself up - Holding onto clothes from 10 years ago that no longer fit   You say you want to be an intuitive eater, but you're not thinking or acting like one. And today we fix that.   Becoming an intuitive eater isn't going to come from just declaring that you're "doing intuitive eating" or by simply committing to not dieting. The reality is that it takes more intentional work than that. Intuitive eating is a science-backed framework - but it only works if you do it the way it's intended.    Episode Highlights - The 5 signs you're not actually doing intuitive eating like you think you are - Specific actions to focus on that will help you to truly listen to your hunger and fullness cues, and pump the brakes on impulsive or emotional eating - Which essential aspects of your relationship with food you've been missing and overlooking that need to be addressed so that intuitive eating isn't just a band aid approach for you that doesn't end up working long-term   Today's Wellness Woo is peptides.   Resources Mentioned - Join Intuitive Eating Exploration: https://www.nondietacademy.com/explore    Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast225    Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/306396290454800 Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster: https://nondietacademy.com/rollercoaster   Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD     Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

Do you weigh yourself "just to check"? Promise the number won't ruin your day…and then it does? Feel unsettled when you don't know your weight? If the scale feels like something you need for reassurance, this episode is for you. Today, we're unpacking why your attachment to the scale makes sense after all these decades living in a society obsessed with weight, and why the problem isn't the scale itself, but the emotional job you've assigned it.  We'll explore the anxiety-relief-dependence cycle, the hidden cost of constant self-monitoring, and why this dynamic gets in the way of you being able to eat intuitively, make peace with food, and trust your hunger and fullness cues.    Episode Highlights -The job we've assigned to the scale that it's not qualified for (and how it's destroying your ability to trust yourself with food) -How the scale puts you in the position of making decisions out of fear, and not what you body actually needs -Small, doable experiments to help you loosen the grip of the scale, without going into all-or-nothing thinking   Today's Wellness Woo is red light therapy.   Resources Mentioned - Join the Braver Than the Scale free 5-day challenge that starts February 23: https://nondietacademy.com/brave    Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast224    Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/306396290454800  Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services  Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster: https://nondietacademy.com/rollercoaster    Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://KatyHarvey.net  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD    Subscribe and Review Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

If you're curious about intuitive eating but still secretly hoping it leads to weight loss, this episode is for you. Let me be clear: Wanting to lose weight does not disqualify you from intuitive eating. At the same time, trying to use intuitive eating as a weight loss strategy will sabotage the entire process. In this episode, I walk you through the real dilemma so many people get stuck in: being exhausted by dieting, craving peace with food, AND still feeling terrified of weight gain. We'll separate desire from behavior, unpack why weight control feels like safety, and talk about what intuitive eating actually asks of you. We'll also talk about the illusion of control that weight provides, the cultural myths behind it, and why tolerating the discomfort of not controlling your weight is often the missing piece. Most importantly, I'm going to paint you a picture of what life looks like when intuitive eating is actually integrated: eating feels easy, you trust your hunger, movement is gentle and flexible, less body obsession, and your life is no longer tethered to the scale. If you're ready to stop straddling the line between dieting and intuitive eating, this episode will help you understand what's really being asked of you, and why it's worth it even without weight promises.   Episode Highlights Why wanting weight loss ≠ practicing weight loss How clinging to the scale keeps you stuck in performative intuitive eating What "set point" really means and why chronic dieting backfires How fear of weight gain interferes with hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and trust What actually changes when intuitive eating is working (hint: it's not the number on the scale) Today's Wellness Woo is creatine.   Resources Mentioned - Sign up here for the Braver Than the Scale FREE 5-Day Challenge! https://nondietacademy.com/brave - Read "You Just Need to Lose Weight (And 19 Other Myths About Fat People)" by Aubrey Gordon: https://a.co/d/0dqVuFac    Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast223   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/306396290454800  Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster: https://nondietacademy.com/rollercoaster   Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD     Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

Eating disorders aren't always obvious, and they are often overlooked in the intuitive eating space. I've seen way too many people feel frustrated that they're not making progress with intuitive eating - and blame themselves - when the real issue was that there was an underlying eating disorder preventing them from making progress.   So how can you tell if you have an eating disorder? And what do I say to a client when I suspect this is what's happening? I'm going to break all of it down for you in this episode.    Whether you have a history of an eating disorder (or disordered eating), or you wonder if you might have one now, or you're just curious…this episode is going to help you understand what to look for.    And if you're a dietitian, therapist or health and wellness professional, this is going to be a GREAT episode for you because it's going to give you a peek behind the curtain of how I navigate these discussions. Make sure you check out my free guide called "10 Well-Intended Comments that Miss the Mark With Struggling Clients."

In this episode, I'm about to share something that even just 6 months ago I never thought I'd be saying out loud. After 5 years of running live cohorts of my signature program, Non-Diet Academy twice per year - I'm not doing them this year.   (If NDA was on your vision board for this year, don't panic, keep reading…)   This doesn't mean that Non-Diet Academy is going anywhere. I'm absolutely not retiring the program. It works - I have the stats to prove it. Instead, I'm doing it with a completely different structure…One that is going to give you massive results that stick around for the long run.   Today I'm also getting personal and sharing behind-the-scenes of what I'm doing differently inside my life this year outside of work (including the surgery that I recently had and what led up to it). Let's just say that recovering from this surgery has brought on some discomfort that's more than physical.   PLUS you'll get to hear about the secret project that I've been working on for other dietitians and health professionals (and yes, it comes with CEUs!!)   Episode Highlights ✨ The surgery that has taught me to pump the brakes and slow down ✨ What I'm doing to support my health and healing this year (and what I'm NOT doing just because I'm not able to exercise for a while) ✨ The massive change I'm making in my business with Non-Diet Academy…that is both scary and exciting ✨ The NEW resources that I have created for fellow RDs and health professionals   Today's Wellness Woo is ionizing foot baths.   Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast219   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Join Katy's weekly email newsletter for tips and resources https://nondietacademy.com/newsletter  Intuitive eating education on the blog: https://katyharvey.net/blog/ Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster https://nondietacademy.com/rollercoaster   Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

How many times have you been told that being healthy means being at a certain weight or BMI? The reality is that weight and BMI tell us very little about your health.    A much better way to know how healthy your body is are your labs. Whenever I'm working with a client who has health concerns, the first thing we do is gather some data by looking at what their specific health concerns are, and their bloodwork that would give us clues as to how their health is looking.    Your weight tells us one thing: Your gravitational pull.   Your labs tell us many things: How well your organs are doing their jobs, how well your body is regulating its blood sugar, your risk of certain things like cardiovascular events, if you are sick with an infection, if you have systemic inflammation, whether or not you have certain diseases, and so much more.    In this episode, I'm walking you through the labs that I look at and recommend most frequently as a dietitian. These are the labs that tell us what to focus on when it comes to gentle nutrition strategies, and it's a way of listening to what your body is communicating (which is absolutely part of intuitive eating).    *DISCLAIMER: I'm obviously not a doctor, and you should ask your doctor about all of this and work with them to understand what lab tests are most appropriate for you and your unique health needs. Episode Highlights ✨ The most important labs to pay attention to for your health and nutrition ✨ Why these labs matter more than the number on the scale ever will for your health ✨ The surprising set of labs that you do NOT need to have checked, even if you think you might be in perimenopause   Today's Wellness Woo is sauerkraut to cure depression.   Resources Mentioned  - Grab my free Perimenopause Labs Cheat Sheet https://nondietacademy.com/labs  - DM me for info about my annual membership, Non-Dieter's Club https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/   Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast218   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey  Join my weekly newsletter email list for tips, resources, book recommendations and more! https://nondietacademy.com/newsletter  Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster https://nondietacademy.com/rollercoaster Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD Subscribe and Review Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

In this episode, we're taking a look back at the biggest diet and wellness trends of 2025, and I'm sharing my unfiltered take on which ones I actually liked, which ones were a hard no, and which trends left me feeling very conflicted. We'll dig into what these trends reveal about where diet culture is heading, how wellness marketing continues to evolve, and why so many of these "health" fads still miss the mark when it comes to sustainable well-being. I'll also share my predictions for what I believe we're heading into in 2026, including what I hope women continue to wake up to when it comes to health, strength, and rejecting diet culture. If you're feeling tired of the "New Year, New You" narrative and craving a more grounded, realistic, and compassionate approach to health, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.   Episode Highlights ✨ The 2025 wellness trends I liked, loathed, and felt conflicted about ✨ Why diet culture feels louder than ever, and how wellness marketing keeps repackaging the same old ideas ✨ A nuanced take on GLP-1 medications and the difference between pursuing health vs. pursuing weight loss ✨ My predictions for diet and wellness trends in 2026, plus my hope for where women's health is headed next   Resources Mentioned Join my email newsletter for weekly intuitive eating tips and first access to upcoming offers: www.nondietacademy.com/newsletter   Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast217   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Join my weekly newsletter email list for tips, resources, book recommendations and more! https://nondietacademy.com/newsletter  Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster https://nondietacademy.com/rollercoaster   Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD     Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

This episode wasn't supposed to air. It was me, unfiltered inside of my coaching community, Non-Dieter's Club, sharing the things that those women needed to hear in moments of self-doubt, defeat, fear and uncertainty on their intuitive eating journey.   I came in hot with a pep talk to light a fire under them…To remind them why they went down this path in the first place.

In today's "Dear Abby" style episode, I'm answering a question about what to do if your family or friends aren't supportive of your intuitive eating process…whether it be because they don't get it, they're a skeptic, or they blatantly disagree with the non-diet approach.   A member of my community shared that she's enjoying her new found food freedom with baking this holiday season - and her boyfriend isn't thrilled. He's still dieting, and she's worried about sabotaging him. Can you relate?   Tune in to hear what advice I'm giving her (and YOU) about how to navigate your own intuitive eating journey, even when other people in your life aren't on board.

I'll give you some practical strategies and scripts for now to do this!   Episode Highlights   ✨ A cookie baking dilemma we can all relate to   ✨ What to do if your partner, family member or roommate doesn't want you keeping certain foods in the house that you're trying to make peace with   ✨ Scripts and a pep talk for how to approach a situation where your family doesn't understand or agree with your intuitive eating approach to food, so that you can still coexist together peacefully   Today's Wellness Woo is vibration plates.   Resources Mentioned - Join my Intuitive Eating Made Easy Free Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/306396290454800 - DM me the word "SCRIPTS" for the conversation scripts I mentioned in the episode   Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast214   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Intuitive eating education on the blog: https://katyharvey.net/blog/ Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster https://nondietacademy.com/rollercoaster Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

If you feel like you know intuitive eating makes sense…but you still catch yourself thinking like a dieter, especially this time of year, this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. Diet culture mindset traps are sneaky, subtle, and so automatic that you may not even realize they're stealing your peace with food and your confidence in your body.

If the thought of walking into a holiday gathering leaves you worrying about how others will judge your body, you are so not alone. When your body has changed, you're no longer dieting, and you're surrounded by family members who love to comment on weight, food, and "being good," it can feel incredibly vulnerable. But you don't have to white-knuckle your way through it this year. In this episode, we're getting real about what it's like to show up in your here-and-now body, and how to do it with confidence, clarity, and self-trust.  You'll learn practical strategies to ground yourself before you walk through the door, what to do in the moment if insecurity hits, and how to gently (or firmly!) shut down comments about your weight or food choices. I'll talk through body comparison, facing relatives who are on the latest diet, and managing that "everyone is judging me" feeling. You'll leave with scripts you can actually use, boundaries you'll feel proud of holding, and a plan to support yourself emotionally before, during, and after the gathering. You deserve to enjoy your holidays without policing your body, and this episode will help you do exactly that!

In this episode, I'm joined by Aly Breathe, a mindset and self-trust coach. Aly moved solo to Canada at just 22 and rebuilt her life and business from the ground up. Through that experience, she learned that self-trust isn't something you're born with. It's something you build one decision at a time. We talk about how self-doubt can show up in sneaky, rational ways, the mindset shifts that help women stop second-guessing themselves, and why confidence isn't about "faking it till you make it." Aly also shares simple daily practices to strengthen your self-trust muscle and tune back into your inner wisdom. If you've ever felt stuck in self-doubt around food, your body, or your life, this conversation will help you reconnect with that calm, confident voice within you.

What if exercise didn't feel like a chore, or something that you "have to" do each week, but rather something you WANT to do for reasons that have nothing to do with burning calories or controlling your weight? I know that might sound too good to be true, but my buddy Courtney McCarthy is here to share how to do this.   With over 10 years of fitness and coaching experience, Courtney has worked with hundreds of women to heal their relationship with both their body and with exercise. Courtney's mission, as the CEO and founder of Loyobo, an online fitness community for women, is to show women how to write your own rules when it comes to fitness and health. She will be your biggest hype girl along the way (and who doesn't need a hype girl in their life?!).   3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:   🏋️You can love your body and not love how you look - Yes, it's possible. Courtney reveals how to rethink your relationship with your body and how you feel about it, separate from your weight or appearance.   🧘Having structure without rules - Learn how to be intentional and consistent with movement, without all the "shoulds."     🏃 If you don't like exercise, there are still ways you can be active - It's all about finding what works for YOU in your life. Courtney explains how she helps women who hate gyms and sweating to find movement they can be consistent with.   Resources Mentioned   - Check out Courtney McCarthy's resources on her website: https://www.loyobofit.com - Follow Courtney McCarthy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loyobofit - DM Courtney the word 'APPLY' on Instagram for a free 30-minute Confidence Call!   Read the full episode show notes here: https://katyharvey.net/podcast209   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey Intuitive eating education on the blog: https://katyharvey.net/blog/ Work with Katy: https://katyharvey.net/services Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster https://nondietacademy.com/rollercoaster Connect with Katy Harvey Website: https://katyharvey.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katyharvey.rd/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatyHarveyRD Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

Let's be real…there's so much noise out there about what women "should" eat during perimenopause. From cutting carbs to loading up on protein shakes to "balancing your hormones" with some magic supplement. It's EXHAUSTING and CONFUSING.    In this episode, I'm cutting through the clutter and breaking down the 5 biggest nutrition myths about perimenopause so you can finally feel confident about how to nourish your body.   Here's what we're diving into: why dieting to lose belly fat is one of the worst things you can do for your metabolism (and what actually helps), how much protein you really need to support muscle and energy, and the truth about carbs (yes, they belong on your plate).    I'll also walk you through what's actually worth your money when it comes to supplements, and why calcium pills aren't the miracle we've been told they are.   Then we'll get into the fun stuff…how soy, fiber, and omega-3 fats can work with your body to ease symptoms, support your heart and brain, and help you feel more balanced overall.   By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear, simple picture of what your body really needs in this season. No dieting, no tracking, no nonsense. Just smart, evidence-based guidance for perimenopause and menopause through the lens of intuitive eating.   Episode Highlights   ☑️ Busting the 5 most common nutrition myths about perimenopause   ☑️ How much protein you *actually* need during and after perimenopause   ☑️ What gentle nutrition strategies will make a meaningful difference - for your perimenopause symptoms AND your ongoing health   Today's Wellness Woo is Rise Workouts   Resources Mentioned   💌 Want my free cheat sheet with all the nutrition takeaways from this episode?
