62. From Overwhelm to Empowerment: Simplifying Nutrition in Your 40s

Welcome to Episode 62 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!

 

In this episode, Alyson Small discusses her journey into becoming a registered dietitian, sharing that her mom's experience as a type 1 diabetic sparked her initial interest in nutrition. Alyson Small is a Registered Dietitian and Diabetes Educator who helps women with a sustainable weight loss of 10 pounds or more without food rules or an all or nothing mindset.

 

Alyson highlights common challenges women face, such as juggling multiple roles, emotional eating, and the pressure to be "perfect." Alyson provides practical tips like food journaling to increase mindfulness, moving your body in enjoyable ways, and meal prepping at a realistic level. She stresses making lifestyle changes gradually rather than aiming for perfection.

 

We discuss hot topics like intermittent fasting, which Alyson says can be effective for some but shouldn't be a quick fix, and weight loss drugs like Ozempic. While beneficial for some with obesity-related conditions if used long-term, she cautions against using them just for modest weight loss goals.

 

Throughout the interview, Alyson emphasizes meeting women where they are, finding balance, and developing a healthy, sustainable relationship with food through self-compassion and lifestyle changes at a comfortable pace.

 

Listen to the end to get 3 really practical and doable steps to get started to improve your relationship with food.

 

Highlights:

Intuitive eating, finding balance with food and body image. (0:06)

Weight loss and nutrition with a focus on non-judgmental approach. (4:08)

Breaking the habit of overeating and developing mindful eating skills through food journaling. (9:14)

Hunger and fullness tracking, meal planning, and prioritizing self-care for busy women. (16:04)

Women's struggles with perfectionism and emotional eating. (23:34)

Intermittent fasting for weight loss with a focus on its effectiveness for certain individuals, such as those with PCOS or insulin resistance (27:40)

Weight loss drugs and their effectiveness, with a focus on food journaling and physical activity. (33:15)

Meal planning and simplicity in nutrition. (42:41)

“You have a unique and special way.”

The most significant thing that changed in my work with you was that my all consuming, soul-killing obsession with food was relieved through gentle healing and integration. I knew in my heart that you really cared about me and had my best interests at heart which helped me to re-connect with my own ability to love and support myself. When that part felt back in balance I think the food piece also re-balanced itself. Another incredible gift you offer is a super well resourced tool box! There was also plenty of deep diving into core wounding and reviewing old stories, all of which you skillfully guided me though and helped me to integrate in order to heal.

Thank you so much for everything.

“It seems so simple now!”

Kim taught me to listen to my body. I now can slow down and find out what I really need…which is not always food. I also learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I struggled with dieting and then overeating. I have found a happy place where I can just be. She also taught me so much about food, reading labels and how good real food can be. Thank you.

M. B.

“I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me.”


My reason for hiring Kim is different as I already knew how to eat healthy and was already in great shape. I wanted to learn more about digestion and overall gut health which is super important for all aspects of life. She is amazing! Very easy to talk too and she made me feel very comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me. She is very nice and definitely very knowledgeable! She was able to help me in every way I needed and then some! Anyone who needs any form of help that she offers because she is top notch and well worth the money and time!Could not be happier with the decision I made to hire her as my coach!

K. C.

“Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives.”

I feel an enthusiasm for embracing routines and habits that encompass not only my body, but spirit and mind. Kim is a beautiful, genuine person who is intuitive and kind.
Her support and positive perspective always turn around my attitude and help me see the favorable aspect to decisions I’ve made in a non-judgemental way.
Access to this type of reassurance is perpetual and brings peace of mind. Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives. Kim has been instrumental in bringing me home to my truest self.
