Feeling like food is taking up way too much brain space? You're not alone and it's more common than you think.  The constant overthinking, the mental load you carry around eating, and the pressure built from years of unspoken rules is exhausting and easy to miss because it’s been normalized. But that doesn’t mean it’s healthy, and it definitely doesn’t have to stay that way. In this episode, we unpack what it really means when your thoughts are constantly circling around food, eating, and your body. We will explore how diet culture, food tracking apps, and overwhelming food rules can lead to food obsession, chronic overthinking, and a disconnect from your body’s natural cues. This conversation normalizes the mental load so many women carry about food and introduces key mindset shifts rooted in intuitive eating, mindful eating, and health at every size. You’ll hear how cultural messaging, past dieting patterns, and body mistrust can quietly erode self-trust and lead to patterns like emotional eating, food anxiety, and even disordered eating. You’ll also learn the difference between a healthy level of food awareness and the kind that drains your energy and joy. If you've been craving more peace, less guilt, and a better relationship with food, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a new way forward. You’ll learn: What it looks like when food takes up too much brain space The connection between body image, control, and food-related stress How body trust and food freedom start with unlearning cultural messages Why overthinking food is often a symptom of larger emotional or identity struggles What a healthy relationship with food can actually feel like in daily life Let’s rebrand wellness together!

Healing isn’t a solo project—community is a real wellness intervention. In this episode, Maria breaks down why emotional and mental wellbeing improves when we’re supported, witnessed, and validated by other people, not just “checked on,” but truly seen. She shares what it means to feel emotionally seen, how that kind of connection can calm the nervous system, and why so many of us default to fixing, minimizing, or rushing past emotions instead of holding space. Maria shares what she learned from 12 years working in an emergency room, including how quickly someone can shift when they feel safe, understood, and not judged. That lived experience sparked her creation of the Emotional Fitness Studio, an “emotional gym” where people build emotional awareness and practical tools through shared experiences, not just information. Whether you’re local or not, the episode ends with actionable ways to create emotional-fitness moments in everyday life, at home, in the car, in relationships, through curiosity, attention, and making space for all emotions. In this episode: Healing often happens faster when you’re supported in community instead of trying to carry everything alone. Feeling emotionally seen—acknowledged, validated, accepted—can settle the nervous system in real time. Shared experience reduces shame and helps people feel less isolated in what they’re carrying. You can create “emotional fitness” anywhere by noticing, asking curious questions, and resisting the urge to fix. Safe spaces are built through intention, care, and welcoming all emotions without judgment.

Feeling like movement would help, but still choosing the couch is more common than we admit. In this episode, the Wellness: Rebranded hosts unpack why so many women want to move their bodies but feel too exhausted, overwhelmed, or mentally drained to do it. The conversation begins by normalizing this experience and naming the difference between physical exhaustion and mental load, especially in seasons of burnout. This episode also introduces practical reframes like exercise snacks, the five-minute rule, redefining what movement looks like in daily life, and the importance of support and scheduling. The core message is clear: wellness is personal, movement isn’t one-size-fits-all, and exhaustion is a signal—not a failure. In this episode: Mental and emotional exhaustion can block movement more than physical fatigue Shame and “shoulds” make movement harder, not easier Short bursts of movement still count and can improve energy Enjoyment matters more than intensity or location Rest and movement both belong in a sustainable wellness routine Register for Exhale: A Retreat for Women Who are Tired of Doing it All::  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1970003420261?aff=oddtdtcreator   Connect with us!The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37eElizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDNFB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating communityhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeatingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutritionFree download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet Tara De Leon, Master Personal TrainerEmail: FitnessTrainer19@hotmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitnessJoin Tara’s Newsletter: www.taradeleonfitness.com/connect  Maria Winters, LCPC, NCCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapyWebsite: www.thecoachingtherapist.com

Have you noticed that fiber seems like the new wellness darling?  Almost overnight, influencers, headlines, and health gurus have shifted their focus to a trend called fibermaxxing — complete with daily targets, checklists, and potentially, a whole lot of pressure to “get it right.” Join us as we take a closer look at what fibermaxxing actually is, why it’s gaining so much popularity, and what to consider if you’ve been thinking about giving it a try. We also explore what this wellness moment reveals about diet culture as a whole—and how quickly “helpful” advice can turn into another source of pressure. Along the way, we dig into an important conversation on fiber, including the difference between getting it from whole foods versus supplements and “fiber-added” products, and why more isn’t always better, especially for digestion and gut health, an.

Rest is not the same as restoration, and your nervous system can feel the difference. If you’re exhausted from “getting through the day,” this conversation is for you. In this episode, Tara, Maria, and Elizabeth unpack the difference between rest, relaxation, and true restoration and why your nervous system desperately needs all three. They explore what burnout really feels like in mid-life, especially for women juggling motherhood, marriage, careers, emotional labor, and the invisible mental load.  They also introduce Exhale, their in-person one-day retreat in Annapolis designed to help you feel safe, seen, supported, and truly restored alongside other women. In this episode: Understand the crucial difference between rest, relaxation, and restoration—and why only one truly rebuilds your capacity for “vigor and health.” Recognize the signs of a depleted nervous system and how distraction and over-responsibility keep you stuck in survival mode. Learn how time and energy function as boundaries, and why saying “no” (even to your kids) can be a powerful act of self-respect.

A clearer relationship with food begins with understanding the habits you barely notice. Today’s conversation cuts through confusion and reveals the patterns driving how you eat… often without realizing it. Elizabeth walks Tara and Maria through her seven-question quiz, a simple tool that uncovers your unique eating style and the hidden beliefs shaping your choices. From unconscious eating to emotional patterns to simple gaps in nutrition knowledge, the hosts unpack how wildly different these experiences can look and why awareness is the key to change.  This episode is for any woman who keeps “starting over on Monday,” feels stuck in repeating habits, or wants to understand food without judgment, shame, or diet culture.

Losing your voice can become the moment you finally decide to hear yourself. This episode is a raw, vulnerable look at what happens when life forces you to stop, sit down, and re-meet the woman you really are. Maria introduces a new layer of the Wellness: Rebranded movement: sharing real stories from real women. For the first guest in this series, we welcome Liana Morris to tell what she calls her “awakening story.”  Liana opens up about years of hustle, a kitchen-island breakdown during 2020, an autoimmune diagnosis, thyroid removal, and then literally losing her voice for months. She shares how therapy, yoga, mantras, values work, and creating non-negotiable space in her schedule helped her untangle her identity from job titles and roles like “corporate worker” and “do-it-all mom.” Together, we explore how hustle culture, diet culture, and constant urgency pull women away from who they are, and how contrast, acceptance, and small daily practices can bring you back home to yourself. This episode is for any woman who feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or like she’s hiding her true self behind responsibilities and expectations. In this episode: A powerful awakening story of illness, surgery, and losing a voice—then finding a truer one How yoga, meditation, mantras, and values exercises can create literal and emotional space in your life Why hustle culture, diet culture, and constant urgency exhaust your nervous system and identity The role of contrast, acceptance, and “this too shall pass” in moving through hard seasons Encouragement for women who feel lost, stuck, or like they don’t know who they are anymore   This episode is brought to you by Jukestir.

In this episode of Wellness: Rebranded, we explore one of the most memorable emotional intelligence analogies you’ll ever hear: “Emotions are like farts.” It’s funny, unexpected, and shockingly accurate and it opens the door to a deeper conversation about what emotions really are, why they matter, and how to build a healthier relationship with them. Join us as we break down why emotions aren’t “good” or “bad,” why suppressing them always backfires, and how understanding your emotional patterns becomes your internal GPS for living a more aligned, grounded life. In this episode: Why emotions are natural, unavoidable, and meant to be felt The real meaning of emotional intelligence (and why it matters for mental health) How fear shows up in everyday decision-making How to identify emotions beyond the basic five Why naming emotions increases self-awareness and reduces stress How childhood, modeling, and family dynamics shape emotional expression Why your reaction — not the emotion itself — determines the outcome Simple tools to start recognizing your emotions, including the feelings wheel and journaling   This episode is brought to you by TCP Youth Empowerment.

Today we welcome Ellen Lunay, the founder of Here: A Pop-Up Shop in Annapolis, whose life took a dramatic turn when a routine mammogram in August 2022 revealed breast cancer. At 54, at the same moment she'd just dropped her oldest daughter off at college and was prepping for her fall pop-up shop, Ellen found herself walking through surgery, radiation, business care and motherhood all at once.  In this episode, El opens up about what carried her through: the power of community over competition, learning how to ask for help, embracing grace and boundaries, and why sharing your story matters. If you’re navigating a health challenge, a business hurdle, or wondering how to build meaningful connections in your life, you’ll want to hear this. In this episode: How Ellen discovered the diagnosis and how she responded immediately. Why the community she built through her business became one of her greatest supports. The difference between being the giver and being willing to receive help. How naming your story actually helps calm your nervous system and guide decisions. Why rest, grace and boundaries are essential — especially when you’re used to “hustle.” What’s changed for Ellen for the better since her diagnosis — how she now shows up differently in business, in motherhood, in life. Words of encouragement for anyone facing big change or a health scare: how to breathe, how to advocate, how to accept help. This episode was brought to you by Leading Lady Coaching.

In this episode, Tara, Elizabeth, and Maria have a real, honest conversation about what it looks like to help kids enjoy Halloween candy without guilt, fear, or restriction.

If “balance your hormones” feels like a wellness buzzword, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Tara and Elizabeth sit down with Gregory Dodell, MD—board-certified endocrinologist, owner of Central Park Endocrinology, and the brain behind Everything Endocrine on Instagram—to unpack hormones without diet culture.    Dr. Dodell shares his evolution to weight-neutral, stigma-free care, explains what hormones actually are, and gives clear, practical guidance for PCOS, thyroid health, cortisol, and when GLP-1 medications make sense.    We also cover the lab tests worth asking for, why strength training matters, GLP-1s, and how to navigate the “just lose weight” directive so many patients still hear. Consider this your evidence-informed, compassion-first hormone primer.   In this episode: Dr. Dodell’s shift from weight-centric training to weight-inclusive care Hormones 101: pituitary → thyroid feedback loops, cortisol basics PCOS made simple: insulin resistance as the foundation “Balance your hormones” claims—what helps and what’s hype Lab panels to discuss with your provider (and how often) GLP-1 meds: when they help, red flags, and the importance of monitoring + muscle How to respond when a provider says “just lose weight”   Connect with Dr. Dodell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everything_endocrine/ Website: https://www.centralparkendocrinology.com/   Wellness: Rebranded is turning 3 years old!

When you think about health, you probably picture food and exercise. But the truth is, health is shaped far more by social determinants of health—the conditions in which we live, learn, work, and connect. In this episode we break down what social determinants of health really are, why they matter, and how they can shape your wellbeing just as much (or more) than diet and exercise. By understanding the social determinants of health, you can drop the shame, find more compassion, and focus on the areas of wellness that truly support your life.

What if your doctor could “prescribe” a nature walk, a museum visit, or coffee with a friend—and it actually improved your health? In this episode, we explore social prescribing, a growing global movement that connects people to non-clinical supports proven to enhance physical, mental, and social well-being. Rebecca (Becky) Hass, certified life coach, Programming & Outreach Manager for Anne Arundel County Public Library, and author of 101 Seeds for Library Joy, shares how she combines positive psychology with community engagement through her consulting company, Joy Work, LLC. In this episode:  What social prescribing is—and why it started in the UK How “link workers” and community navigators connect people to art, movement, nature, volunteering, and more The loneliness epidemic and why social health belongs beside physical and mental health Real stories from libraries, gyms, and neighborhoods proving that connection heals Barriers (transportation, awareness, “sick-care” systems) and what pilots in the US are testing How to self-prescribe joy and belonging—without waiting for a doctor’s note   Connect with Becky: Website: https://joyworkllc.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/joy-work-llc   Resources:  Intuitive Eating Starter Kit: Use code PODCAST to get this for just $14 https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/starterkit Trainers: Become the Go-To Expert at Your Gym with Tara’s free mini course: https://www.taradeleonfitness.com/ Connect with us!    The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37e   Elizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDN FB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating community https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeating Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutrition Free download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet   Tara De Leon, Master Personal Trainer Email: FitnessTrainer19@hotmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitnessJoin Tara’s Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/5290e3f13e08/email-signup Maria Winters, LCPC, NCC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapy Website: www.thecoachingtherapist.com

Ever catch yourself spiraling from “I ate a bagel” to “welp, day’s ruined”? Today Maria and Elizabeth unpack the sneaky thought patterns that mess with our wellness and show you how to call them out, reframe them, and move on with a lot more self-compassion. In this episode, we are diving into why thoughts aren’t facts and how the thoughts–feelings–actions triangle drives our choices. Using real-life examples, from the intuitive eating “what-the-hell” effect to the classic “I said one wrong word; I’m a failure”, we break down common cognitive distortions and teach practical ways to reality-check and rewire them. In this episode: Why thoughts aren’t facts—and why it matters for your wellness journey The “what-the-hell” effect in intuitive eating and how it relates to black-and-white thinking How catastrophizing turns one mistake into a worst-case scenario The tendency to discount positives and why accepting compliments feels hard Labeling ourselves or others and how it limits growth Practical strategies to reality-test your thoughts and build more flexible thinking Listen to our friends over at Parenting Shrink Wrapped Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parenting-shrink-wrapped/id1766578984   Resources:  Intuitive Eating Starter Kit: Use code PODCAST to get this for just $14 https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/starterkit Trainers: Become the Go-To Expert at Your Gym with Tara’s free mini course: https://www.taradeleonfitness.com/ Connect with us!    The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37e   Elizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDN FB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating community https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeating Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutrition Free download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet   Tara De Leon, Master Personal Trainer Email: FitnessTrainer19@hotmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitnessJoin Tara’s Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/5290e3f13e08/email-signup Maria Winters, LCPC, NCC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapy Website: www.thecoachingtherapist.com

To sponsor a child, visit TCP to 44-321 or visit https://www.tcpyouthempowerment.org/ Friendships are one of the most important pieces of our health and wellness puzzle, but in midlife, they can look very different than they did in our 20s or 30s. Some friendships fade, some deepen, and some need a little “redesigning” to stay healthy and supportive. In this episode, we get real about the ups and downs of friendships in our 40s, 50s, and beyond. From the pain of being ghosted by a lifelong friend to the relief of no longer putting up with draining relationships, we explore how midlife changes our approach to connection, boundaries, and community. We share personal stories—both heartbreaks and joys—and talk about why friendships are not just emotional, but also physical health lifelines. You’ll hear about redesigning relationships, the role of boundaries, and why even one or two solid friendships can be more powerful than a dozen “okay-ish” ones. In this episode: Why some friendships naturally fade (and why it’s not always about you) How to “redesign” a friendship before letting it go The role of confidence, clarity, and boundaries in midlife relationships Why loneliness—physical or emotional—can harm health more than you realize How strong friendships can become an essential part of your wellness journey Resources:  Intuitive Eating Starter Kit: Use code PODCAST to get this for just $14 https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/starterkit Trainers: Become the Go-To Expert at Your Gym with Tara’s free mini course: https://www.taradeleonfitness.com/ Connect with us!    The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37e   Elizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDN FB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating community https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeating Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutrition Free download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet   Tara De Leon, Master Personal Trainer Email: FitnessTrainer19@hotmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitnessJoin Tara’s Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/5290e3f13e08/email-signup Maria Winters, LCPC, NCC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapy Website: www.thecoachingtherapist.com

We all know what we “should” do: move our bodies more, eat in ways that support us, stick to the habits that make us feel better. But actually doing those things consistently? That’s where resistance shows up. In this episode we unpack resistance, such as the excuses, fears, and old belief patterns that can keep us stuck even when we know what we want. From the intimidation of walking into a gym to the frustration of not seeing results fast enough in therapy, resistance shows up in sneaky ways across health, wellness, and life. We share personal stories, client experiences, and even a trainer’s unlikely journey that started with just sitting in her car outside the gym. You’ll hear why resistance isn’t a failure, how small “bare minimum” steps can build momentum, and why self-compassion is essential for lasting change. In this episode: How childhood experiences and shame can shape resistance as adults The role of all-or-nothing thinking and learned helplessness Why resistance often masks itself as “I don’t have time” or “I’ll start later” The power of micro-steps, short-term goals, and finding your “why” Why self-compassion—not guilt or blame—is the real motivator for change Resources mentioned in this episode: Exercise Snacks: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wellness-rebranded-intuitive-eating-diet-culture-mental/id1651744916?i=1000717469519 GLP1: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wellness-rebranded-intuitive-eating-diet-culture-mental/id1651744916?i=1000718560588 Connect with us!    The Ultimate Self Care Planner: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.ck.page/9e817ab37e   Elizabeth Harris, MS, RDN, LDN FB: Health and Healing with Intuitive Eating community https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandhealingwithintuitiveeating Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ElizabethHarrisNutrition Free download to break up with diet culture: https://elizabethharrisnutrition.com/invisible-diet   Tara De Leon, Master Personal Trainer Email: FitnessTrainer19@hotmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tara_de_leon_fitnessJoin Tara’s Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/5290e3f13e08/email-signup Maria Winters, LCPC, NCC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coaching_therapist/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/MWcoachingtherapy Website: www.thecoachingtherapist.com

The new Fit for TV documentary on The Biggest Loser has us fired up. This reality show wasn’t just “entertainment,” it reshaped diet culture, fitness, and the way we think about bodies in ways that were harmful, abusive, and dehumanizing.    In this episode, we’re breaking down why the show was so damaging and what it means for how we approach health today. This documentary was a stark reminder that your body isn’t a spectacle, you don’t owe anyone a before-and-after picture, and health should never come at the cost of your dignity. In this episode: How The Biggest Loser normalized extreme and unsafe weight loss practices. The ripple effects it created in gyms, workplaces, and wellness programs across the country. Why diet culture about profit, not health. Weighing benefits vs costs of weight loss programs. Red flags to look out for in trainers, programs, and “health” challenges. What compassionate, sustainable, and whole-person wellness actually looks like. This episode is brought to you by Jukestir.
