Can we truly say goodbye when the journey has been this fulfilling? As we celebrate our 100th episode of the Satisfaction Factor podcast, we look back with pride and gratitude on three transformative years of meaningful conversations about body liberation and the relentless dismantling of diet culture. We've reached a point where our personal and professional lives have evolved, and the time feels right to conclude this chapter. We've always believed in the power of an "intuitive ending," and it’s with this philosophy that we embrace this transition, knowing we've achieved our original aspirations. Podcasting has been a voyage of unexpected joys, surprises, and deep connections. Our listeners have joined us in this enriching exploration, and we've cherished every moment of learning together. As we wrap up this journey, we fondly reminisce about our favorite episodes and the humor found in even the harshest one-star reviews. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we encourage you to continue engaging with us through our social media channels and websites. Though this is a farewell to the podcast, the connection we've built is far from over.

43:10

What if the body positivity movement you know today is actually working against its original goals? In this episode, we're talking about how the body positivity movement, initially focused on fat liberation and dismantling oppressive systems, has been hijacked by mainstream culture. Learn how today's body positivity often centers on privileged bodies, sidelining those it was meant to uplift, including fat, disabled, and BIPOC individuals. We're talking about: how mainstream body positivity can uphold & sometimes even strengthen the oppressive narratives of diet culture the harsh realities faced by people in larger bodies when it comes to accessible clothing & public spaces the economic & social justice implications of these exclusions how the lack of inclusivity in fashion & essential public spaces not only impacts personal aesthetics but also creates significant barriers in employment & daily life weight bias in the medical field & beyond, and how weight stigma leads to inferior healthcare & delayed treatments. how anti-fat bias seeps into employment, education, and even the judicial system, with shocking statistics about wage disparities & job discrimination. This episode is a powerful call to move beyond superficial body positivity towards true body liberation and fat positivity, advocating for systemic change and inclusivity.

Often when we talk about Intuitive Eating with new people or on social media, we hear variations of "I'd love to eat intuitively, but I can't because..." The end of that sentence is sometimes about weight loss, sometimes about health concerns, or sometimes about something completely different. So this week, we're talking about who gets to practice Intuitive Eating! We're digging into all the nuances of whether or not Intuitive Eating is really for everyone, including: whether you need to lose weight first; whether you can practice Intuitive Eating if you have a medical condition; how Intuitive Eating might work for folks in eating disorder recovery; and whether Intuitive Eating is actually accessible for folks from marginalized communities or who are experiencing financial insecurity or food insecurity.

This week, we're coming in hot with a breakdown of Oprah, Ozempic, and ob*sity.... oh my! A couple of weeks ago, Oprah did a TV special called “Shame, Blame & the Weight Loss Revolution," which was basically an hour-long infomercial for weight loss drugs. In this episode, we talk about: Oprah's history with diet culture & moral panic The difference between Oprah exercising her own body autonomy vs. going on TV to promote her diets A breakdown & critique of all the main points of the special (so you don't have to watch it!) And why framing ob*sity as a disease is both incorrect and a money-making tool for multiple industries. Note: This episode doesn't do much of a deep dive about Ozempic & GLP-1 drugs themselves because we already did a whole episode on that!

This week, we’re talking to Jenna Jozefowski about diet culture in dance spaces... and so much more! Jenna Jozefowski helps active women learn to lift and get strong with equal parts challenge and compassion. She is a certified personal trainer & kettlebell instructor, Trauma Informed Weightlifting coach, dance teacher, yoga teacher, and semi-retired professional dancer. After years of living and working in industries full of diet-culture, she got sick and tired of watching people (including herself) running themselves into the ground trying to uphold the narrow-minded image of what our culture sees as “healthy” and “fit”. But instead of giving it all up, she decided that she'd rather change the game, call out the BS, extract the good, and help others use movement to build themselves up rather than tear themselves down. We had an amazing conversation with Jenna about... how the dance world mirrors the weight stigma that exists in the larger world how she navigated the nuances of being a straight sized person in the real world, but the largest person in the room in the dance world & how she unlearned the body narratives of the dance world how the exclusive body standards of the dance world can keep people who don't fit those standards out of dance spaces (even just for fun!) why she chose to stay in the dance & fitness industry as a voice of change how she navigates the diet culture & body standards of the dance world & plants seeds of change with her dance students why it's so important for performance-based athletes to properly fuel, train & recover, and why she's always the dance teacher with snacks the importance of understanding the role of lived experience & genetics in body diversity why bodies shouldn't be business cards & you can't exercise your way to a "long & lean" body and the power of strength training for flipping harmful body narratives.

#71 - Unpacking a Real Life Experience of Medical Weight Stigma 47:54

for 2 years siden47:54

47:54

CW: medical weight stigma, BMI, bariatric surgery, and some discussion of restrictive post-surgical diets Last month, Naomi had a really difficult medical experience, and when she shared about it on Instagram, she got a lot of responses from people saying how helpful it was to hear how she navigated it. Unfortunately, experiences like these are way too common, and hearing about how other people navigate them can both take the shame out of them, and also help us to prepare. So, this week, we're unpacking Naomi's real life experience of weight stigma, including: How she navigated a contentious weigh-in request How she responded to an inappropriate recommendation for bariatric surgery Why her experience clearly illustrates how weight stigma exists on a spectrum, and how privilege and stigma can co-exist The complicated emotions this experience brought up, and why feeling bad is a normal response The tools she used to process these emotions after the appointment Want to work on cultivating these kinds of skills & building resilience to diet culture? The waitlist is open for Naomi's new cohort of Nourish & Bloom, her 40 week group Intuitive Eating workshop!

This week, we're busting 5 common anti-diet myths! In this episode we're talking about why being anti-diet definitely doesn't mean: Completely cutting out “diet” foods Avoiding workouts Hating fruits & veggies Always eating dessert Or always choosing to wear a bikini. Instead, we're breaking down what it really means to be anti-diet, and what questions we can ask ourselves when making food, body, and clothing choices to make sure we're not falling back into diet culture.

#68 - We Need to Talk About Ozempic & Wegovy 1:05:09

1:05:09

This week, we’re talking about a very hot topic that has been requested of us multiple times - the weight loss drugs Ozempic & Wegovy (plus a little bit about Mounjaro & Saxenda)! Note: We are not registered dietitians, or doctors, or medical providers of any type, and this podcast does not constitute medical advice! Instead, this episode is more of a research roundup. We did all the Google searching & reading so you don’t have to if you don’t want to. (But also, if you do want to, we’ve provided links to everything below.) Generally, though, a great deal of our research was pulled from the work of Ragen Chastain , Dr. Asher Larmie , and Christy Harrison . And, lastly, a content warning: A lot of the articles & studies we’ll provide will include the o-word, BMI references, references to body weights, and references to disordered eating behaviors. Also, even the articles that talk about the problems with these drugs still often paint them in a positive light. We did our best with language within the episode, but use caution, especially if you decide to follow the links. In this episode we're covering: The basics of how each of these drugs work & what they're prescribed for The marketing & popularity of these drugs (including a story from Sadie that will blow your mind!) Harmful drug side effects Why the risk/benefit analysis for taking these drugs is different for diabetes than it is for weight loss The impact that marketing of these drugs for weight loss is having on folks living with diabetes and eating disorders Why these drugs are actually not a miracle "cure" for fatness How these drugs (and other weight loss drugs) keep getting approved, despite their harms & ineffectiveness Click here to get all the links for research referenced in this episode!

In this episode, we're talking about the problems with how the concepts of moderation, food freedom, and health get used in anti-diet spaces. We had a great conversation, including: The difference between moderation and unconditional permission How to tell if you're using moderation as restriction The privilege in food freedom, and why it's often not a realistic goal The problem with using "don't worry, you'll still eat healthy" as a defense against critiques of intuitive eating Why health is a meaningless concept without individual & societal context Stay in touch with the pod on IG @satisfactionfactorpod !

Pam launched Ember & Ace exclusively for plus size kids with a focus on comfort and performance. We had an amazing conversation with Pam about... Her own experiences of being an active plus size kid How being a parent has changed her relationship to her body (and bodies in general) Why a lack of inclusive activewear & uniforms can lead many kids to quit the physical activities they love What messages we're sending to kids when they can't find activewear in their sizes Why removing barriers to access is a truly health-promoting goal & how this relates to the new AAP guidelines Why access to movement is important for kids, having nothing to do with changing their body sizes And the groundbreaking work she's doing in expanding activewear sizing for kids in larger bodies!

*Content Warning: This week's episode contains use of the O-word, as well as discussion of weight loss surgery.* Earlier this month, the American Academy of Pediatrics released a new guideline document containing weight loss recommendations for children as young as two years old. So this week, we are talking to Anna Lutz, MPH, RD, LDN, CEDRD-S about everything that's wrong with these recommendations. Anna Lutz is a Registered Dietitian in Raleigh, NC.

Anna is also the co-owner of a private practice in Raleigh, NC, Lutz, Alexander & Associates Nutrition Therapy. Anna specializes in eating disorders and pediatric/family nutrition and enjoys mentoring and providing clinical supervision to other dietitians. We had an amazing conversation about... How these recommendations are a full reversal of the AAP guidelines from 2015, and the conflicts of interest that likely influenced this shift The life-long physical, medical, and relational harm of weight loss recommendations for children The increased risk for eating disorders & weight cycling that will likely result from these recommendations Why weight loss recommendations are never a solution to weight stigma How parents can navigate pediatrician appointments in light of these recommendations And what health markers actually are important for kids!

While the context is different, we thought this would be a good time to revisit these self-care practices and conversations about caring for ourselves. And, in an effort to practice what we preach, we took a week off from recording to allow ourselves to rest & regulate. We'll be back with a new episode on November 29th, and we hope this replay will be supportive for you in the meantime. To say that he past few weeks have been hard would be a huge understatement. So this week's episode is all about how we can care for ourselves when it feels like the world is on fire. Black women & femmes have been teaching for generations about the importance of avoiding burnout when fighting oppressive systems. And, while that is not our lesson to teach, we are talking in this episode about: the importance of caring for ourselves & leaving room for our humanity in times of high stress; why it's okay that we all need different things to meet our needs for self-care & processing; and some practical ways that we can engage in self-care right now.

This week, we're answering the question, “ What if weight loss could actually help my situation? ” And if you've ever found yourself wondering about that, you’re not alone. Maybe you understand that health is more complicated than just our personal behaviors, and you've realized that the “thin ideal” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But some things still feel more complicated.

#78 - Beyond Shrinking & Drinking with Lael Atkinson 40:27

for 2 years siden40:27

This week, we’re talking to Lael Atkinson (they/them), a certified professional recovery coach who works at the intersection of drinking and dieting. During their experience of parting ways with alcohol and then tackling a lifetime of dieting, disordered eating, and body shame, they found resources that addressed quitting drinking OR that addressed food and body image issues, yet could not find any sources that spoke to the intersection of the two. And in both their personal experience and the experience they saw with many of their clients, they found that the two do indeed frequently overlap. This led Lael to work with both folks who want to examine their relationship with alcohol and folks who want to divest from diet culture. They also created the Beyond Shrinking & Drinking course to address this intersection. Lael hopes that whether it comes to questioning their drinking, or their participation in diet culture, that people know they can do it without labeling themselves, without judging themselves, and without it reaching a point of being “bad enough.” It’s more than enough to start from a place of asking if your life would be better without it. We had an amazing conversation with Lael about... their own journey with drinking & dieting, and how it led to the work they do today the parallels between drinking & dieting (and why comparing booze to food is not helpful) the parallels between drinking culture & diet culture why some folks may experience food or body image issues when they quit drinking (and vice versa) how they're working to fight against the shame & stigma of both drinking and dieting and why this work is especially important within the Queer community.

#76 - The Truth About Body Neutrality with Jessi Kneeland 1:00:52

for 2 years siden1:00:52

1:00:52

This week, we’re talking to Jessi Kneeland about body neutrality & their new book, Body Neutral: A Revolutionary Guide to Overcoming Body Image Issues ! Jessi Kneeland (they/them) is a coach, writer, and speaker dedicated to helping people overcome the suffering associated with body anxiety, insecurity, and negativity, and to improve their relationship with their bodies. After working as a personal trainer for a decade in New York City, Kneeland became an iPEC certified life coach and launched a coaching practice centered around the meaningful work of self-acceptance. Their innovative approach allows them to partner with clients individually and in groups to help them find body acceptance, a strong sense of self-worth, and true confidence. They are committed to the pursuit of body neutrality—a philosophy predicated on the idea that how we look is the least interesting and important thing about us. Their work has been featured in Women’s Health, Shape, Pop Sugar, Refinery29, BuzzFeed, Hello Giggles , and more, and their TED talk has been viewed by over 50,000 people. They live in North Carolina with their partner and cat. We had an amazing conversation with Jessi about... how they went from helping people change their bodies as a personal trainer to rejecting diet culture & helping people find body neutrality what body neutrality is & why it can be a more approachable alternative to body love (while also helping to make body love more realistic!) why body image issues are always about so much more than our bodies how they came up with the Body Image Avatars & the Body Image Blueprint why body image work is so hard & can take so much longer than we expect it to how navigating body image issues & finding body neutrality is different for folks in marginalized bodies and how working toward body neutrality can actually benefit our lives far outside of our relationships with our bodies. You can connect with Jessi on Instagram @jessikneeland , listen to their podcast This is Not About Your Body wherever you listen to podcasts, learn how to work with them at JessiKneeland.com , or purchase Body Neutral: A Revolutionary Guide to Overcoming Body Image Issues wherever you get your books!
