  • Letting Go of Control: How Kate Healed Her Relationship with Food
    Hey Rebel. If dieting has felt like a constant companion in your life, this episode is for you. Today I’m joined by former Diet Culture Rebel client Kate, who started dieting at just 15 years old and spent years chasing numbers, calories, points, steps, and a certain weight.... all in pursuit of “health.” In this honest and emotional conversation, Kate shares how healing her relationship with food wasn’t about a quick fix, but a slow, intentional process of rebuilding trust with her body. In today's episode, we explore: The moment she realized food obsession was taking over her life How her internal dialogue shifted from critical to compassionate What healing looked like as a full-time working mom The power of speaking her truth—even when her family was still dieting & so much more I know many of you will relate to deeply. This is a powerful reminder that food freedom is possible—even if dieting has been part of your identity for years. Kate’s story is proof that you can rewrite your narrative, and that peace with food is worth the work. ---- My team of registered dietitians is now accepting insurance for one-on-one nutrition counseling!

  • How fitness can be flexible, sustainable, and supportive with Personal Trainer Michael Ulloa
    Hey Rebel! If you’re tired of “go hard or go home” fitness messaging and ready to redefine your relationship with movement and your body—this one’s for you. In today's episode I’m joined by Michael Ulloa, a personal trainer who’s breaking the mold of traditional fitness culture online. We talk about his personal experience with body dysmorphia, obsessive calorie counting, and how growing up around dieting shaped his body image. Michael shares how his own relationship with movement has evolved from rigid and all-or-nothing to something that’s flexible, fulfilling, and rooted in self-compassion. Michael’s story is a powerful reminder that doing the inner work to heal your relationship with food and body isn’t just about you—it creates a ripple effect in your life, relationships, and the way you show up in the world. In this episode, we cover: The often-ignored pressures men face in fitness culture Michael’s experience with body image struggles and disordered habits How fitness can become more flexible, sustainable, and supportive Why awareness of your words and behaviors around food really matters Connect with Michael here https://www.instagram.com/michaelulloapt/?hl=en ----- My team of registered dietitians is now accepting insurance for one-on-one nutrition counseling!

  • When Someone You Admire Loses Weight: Navigating Your Feelings Without Losing Yourself
    Hey rebel. In this deeply reflective episode of the Diet Culture Rebel Podcast, we’re talking about something that hits close to home for many: how to cope when someone you admire—whether it’s an influencer, friend, or family member—loses a significant amount of weight while you may be on a journey to body acceptance. Inspired by the recent public conversation surrounding former plus-size model Remi Bader, this episode isn’t about her—it’s about you. Because these moments can stir up a mix of emotions like jealousy, confusion, pressure, even shame. And it’s not a one-time thing. You will encounter this again. In this episode, we're covering: The emotional impact of weight loss announcements How to protect your peace and stay grounded in your values Why intentional weight loss isn’t inherently wrong—but deserves nuance How anti-fat bias and cultural messaging shape our body image and beliefs This episode is a space to reflect, get honest about how these moments affect you, and redirect the blame from yourself (or influencers) to the system that created these pressures in the first place.

  • Comedy, Confidence, & Calling Out Diet Culture with Lauren Hope Krass
    Hey Rebel.  In this powerful and uplifting episode, I’m joined by comedian Lauren Hope Krass, who uses humor to challenge anti-fat bias, diet culture, and the unrealistic expectations placed on all of us—especially women in bigger bodies. Lauren shares her journey from self-deprecating humor to empowering comedy, how she found her voice (and her people), and the impact of resilience and body acceptance in a world that constantly tries to shrink us. In this episode, we discuss: How Lauren uses comedy to challenge fatphobia and diet culture The realities of anti-fat bias—including career discrimination The shift from self-depricating humor to self-empowerment Why finding your people matters more than changing for others & Behind-the-scenes stories from her standup career If you’ve ever felt judged for simply existing or struggled to fully accept yourself, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to change to be worthy—and that laughter can be one of the most powerful forms of resistance. https://www.patreon.com/laurenhopekrass https://www.instagram.com/laurenhopekrass/ ----- Ready to Heal Your Relationship with Food?
