36. Fueling Your Body and Creating a Positive Relationship With Food

The Expecting and Empowered Podcast

We have Sammie Gollup of @anti.diet.mama on the podcast today. She is a mom of two, a registered dietitian, and her mission is to help people have a better quality of life by improving their nutrition and their relationship with food.

A lot of women are actually undereating and might not even know it. Sammie explains why this is hard on our bodies and shares the first step we can take if our body doesn’t seem to be sending us proper hunger cues. She shares what she wants moms to focus on in their postpartum journeys and, spoiler alert, it’s not weight loss.

In today’s online world, we see what someone else is doing for their own diet and exercise and might have the urge to implement their strategies into our own lives. Sammie explains why this isn’t going to have the same result on every individual and the importance of listening to your own body.

Our generation grew up with moms who were always on diets and that had a major impact on our relationship with food. Sammie explains how her course, The Anti-Diet Mama Course, helps women create a better relationship with food, how it enables women to have a more neutral relationship with their bodies, and how it helps moms raise kids who will have a positive relationship with food & exercise.
