166: Emotional Eating, Healthy Food Delivery App Usage, and Managing Meals Out
Today's episode features a very special guest- Kellie is a real life client who first booked her appointment with a dietitian because she was emotional eating when she felt lonely or bored in the evening. Despite being active and enjoying cooking, Kellie found herself relying on food delivery apps like Postmates for dinner and eating more sugar than she felt comfortable with.
Wanting to improve her habits and body image, she committed to making changes to how she ate during the day to help her have more control over her choices at night.
On the podcast, Kellie shares how...
- she overcame years of dieting and following arbitrary food rules
- eating MORE helped her reduce emotional eating
- reframing being alone to be positive helped her make better choices
- she uses food delivery apps like Postmates in a healthy way
- she balances social eating and meals out
- ... and more!
Registered Dietitian Kait also shares tips and tricks to help you overcome unwanted emotional eating habits, too!

162: An Honest Convo About Weight Loss Medications with a Client Who’s Taking Them
Cheryl started working with me (Megan) at Nutrition Awareness in 2020 and was able to lose weight, gain muscle, and improve her metabolism over the next year. We ended our sessions when I went on maternity leave. After 8 months of staying at the same weight, Cheryl decided to try Mounjaro, a prescription injection for adults with type 2 diabetes used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar.

161: Perfectionism & Body Image- A Therapist's Inspiring Story
Admitting you want to lose weight weight has become taboo (so, of course we’re going to talk about it!)
Licensed psychologist and admitted perfectionist Dr. Samantha Rae joins Kait on the podcast to talk about body image, all-or-nothing thinking with food, and her own journey. After years of disordered eating, Sam shares how she was able to find balance with food & transform on both the inside AND outside.

160: A “Graduated” Client Experiences a Setback: Live Follow-up Session
This one starts a little heavy. Megan reveals something personal she hasn’t yet shared publicly and talks about getting back to work, which led her to reconnect with Becca (name changed for privacy) who came to Nutrition Awareness in 2020 wanting to lose weight.
Becca was already super healthy eater and avid exerciser. Becca is a rule follower. She wanted us to tell her what she was doing that wasn’t working and give her a blueprint to follow exactly. She would have followed ANYTHING we told her to do if it meant she would lose weight.
Unfortunately, the last thing Becca needed was a meal plan. She had no period, was tracking everything in MyFitnessPal, couldn’t gain muscle, was obsessive about her body and measured her self worth based on the last meal she had.
Over the next 16 sessions, we got INTO it. In this podcast, we talk about Becca’s journey to a level of confidence and freedom she has never felt and how changing her relationship to food radiated into every other aspect of life. We also talk about the setbacks she’s been experiencing lately and come up with solutions in real time.
Becca’s story blurs the lines between nutrition and therapy and addresses the need for the whole person and all aspects of life to be considered, not just what they’re eating.

135. Living with a Health Nut: The Survival Guide
In our practice, we hear countless stories of people who live with a gym rat or health nut, causing them to feel inadequate about their own health journeys.

Unfortunately, the pressure backfires leaving the other individual stuck in a unhealthy pattern of dieting followed by binge eating, lying about skipped workouts, and feeling hopeless.
Kait and Megan, both Registered Dietitians, share stories and strategies they used with their clients who have been in a similar situation. Take what you need and leave what you don't.
