Since my time in graduate school for somatic psychotherapy, I have shared with anyone who would listen about the connection between somatics and nutrition. It has felt absurd to me that food was never talked about in my somatic studies.  In my PhD interview, I passionately shared that I believe there is a need to bring the field of nutrition into somatics.  This has been a 20-year journey where I'm seeing that others have also been trying to combine these fields. One of those people I'm thrilled to bring back onto the podcast. In this week's episode, I chat with Luis Mojica, Somatic Educator, certified in Holistic Nutrition, and author of Food Therapy, about:  How Luis also came to combine the fields of somatics, nutrition, and traumaFood as a witness to your darkest momentsWhat different foods will do in your nervous systemThe importance of titrating balancing foods into your mealsOwning the choice to lean on food Somatic practices to move through cravings Discovering what your most craved foods are trying to do for you You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-to-use-food-cravings-as-feedback-of-your-nervous-system-states With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Luis:  Website: www.holisticlifenavigation.com Link to book page: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book Podcast: www.holisticlifenavigation.com/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistic.life.navigation Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Around 2018, I was living in Denver, Colorado and I was in my ongoing process of combining the fields of somatics, nutrition, nervous system, and trauma. I've wanted to learn as much as I can about all of the possible perspectives of what affects and shapes our food interactions.  I was a member at the Denver Botanic Gardens and found out they were holding an all day nutrition workshop with Dr. Deanna Minich. I had been following her work for a long time and was so excited to learn from her in person.  Some of the things I learned at that workshop I still cite today in sessions. I have admired the way Dr. Minich combines nutritional science and spirituality. So you can imagine how overjoyed I was when she agreed to come on the podcast and share her wisdom.  In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Deanna Minich, Nutrition Scientist and Chief Scientific Officer at Symphony Natural Health, about:  Eating and circadian rhythmThe relationship between food and spiritualityFood and connection with lineage, ancestry, and generational traumaPersonal food stories and food associationsThe power of sensitivityEmbracing color, play, and creativity with food You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/create-your-eating-timeline-to-understand-your-food-story I hope you love this chat as much as I did and email me anytime with any insights you had from this episode!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch Dr. Deanna Minich:  Website: https://www.deannaminich.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deanna.minich/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannaminich/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/foodandspirit Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannaminich/ Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

When I first entered into the world of wellness culture, I was swept up in the promise of health, vibrancy, and fixing every symptom I had and could ever have.  I did the detoxes, the cleanses, the supplements, the colonics, the detox foot baths, the energy work, and the elimination diets.  Now, if you're thinking, "Wait. I have done some of those things and they were helpful to me." That is great!  But, what I've noticed is that wellness culture has commodified health to sell something. Things it didn't guide me to look at were detoxing my thoughts, my social media feeds, my low self esteem, and my trauma. Attending to these things was far more beneficial for my health and well being than any supplement I could ever take.  Constantly trying to digest internal harsh criticism was part of what was fueling all of my symptoms as my body was living in a sympathetic nervous system state and the longer you stay in a fight or flight response, the more your body is going to struggle to stabilize.  In this week's episode, I chat with Michele Scarlet, Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Personal Trainer, and Women’s Health Coach, about:  The impact of stressUnderstanding body communicationDetoxing mythsHow to support the body in a toxic world and no we're not just talking about what you ingest but also what you surround yourself withNavigating food choicesFostering self compassionYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/busting-detox-myths Hope you enjoy this week's episode and talk to you more soon!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Michele:  Website: https://www.michelescarlet.com/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelescarlet_/ Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

The statement, “You are not your body,” needs some somatic updating. This statement, which has been said countless of times to try to decrease body image struggles, actually guides you in detaching from the body, further causing separation from safely inhabiting the body. René Descartes’ “I think, therefore I am,” reinforced a mind-body split. This contributed to the belief that the body is meant to be transcended and translated to: don’t listen to your body, hunger, fatigue, needs, or sensations.  This has led to further objectification of the body that it can be shaped to meet the mind’s desires. and detaching from the body in the process doesn’t teach you how to sense, feel, and relate to your body. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about:  Challenging the statement you are not your bodyThe importance of inhabiting your body to decrease body image issuesBody image and your nervous systemUpdating the you are not your body sentimentJournaling questions You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/you-are-not-your-body-or-are-you Hope you enjoy this episode and talk with you next week!

Once I started to connect the dots that the sympathetic nervous system plays a prominent role in food impulses and behaviors, I began teaching everyone I work with how to identify when their sympathetic nervous system is activated.  This isn't something we're often taught as a kid and would be a game changer to learn earlier on in life. You may just be learning this language of your body and nervous system now though and feel exhausted from living in sympathetic nervous system dominance. And your bodily depletion makes so much sense.  In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Scott Sherr, Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician, about:  Understanding the sympathetic nervous system The Sympathetic Spiral of DoomMitochondrial health and its impactThe connection between trauma and eating behaviorsIntegrating nutrition in trauma workAddressing long term health challengesPractical steps to support your mitochondrial health for improved regulation and metabolic signalingYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/get-unstuck-from-a-sympathetic-state Please remember that your food behaviors can be bodily communication of your nervous system state.  If you have any insights from this episode, email me anytime, and talk to you more soon!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Dr. Scott: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onebasehealth/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@troscriptions Website: https://drscottsherr.com/ Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

As I was editing this week's podcast episode, I accidentally deleted half of it and thought it was gone forever.  At first, my heart sank, I was in shock, the blood drained from my face, and I literally said out loud, "Nooooooo!!!" I was ready to call it and my brain started quickly going through my options. As I went through my options, I paused and wanted to connect with my experience of this. I felt the sadness of these words I took the time to speak would be lost forever. I took a moment to grieve this.  Giving myself space to feel and move through what was present, I noticed myself regulate. I was ready to choose the option of re-recording and trying to get this podcast out when I could. Then, my husband told me to give him ten minutes and he was able to find the lost content.  The interesting thing was I had a mixture of emotions when he found it. I had already grieved what was lost and was getting excited about what I could say differently when I re-recorded and then also relief that these recording was recovered and I could move forward editing the rest and getting it out to you.  This is what binge eating recovery can be like: a mixture of highs and lows of being so excited that the binge eating is decreasing and then grief at saying goodbye to something that has supported you for so long and grief at all the reasons that this food behavior came in to help you feel safe and protect you.  In this week's episode:  I read 3 different Binge Eating Reddit Stories I explore a trauma, somatic, nutritional, and nervous system perspective about what might support these individuals in their binge eatingI get into topics such as binge-restrict cycle, binge eating as a response to nervous system dysregulation, binge eating as a response to trauma, weight stigma, and body controlI offer explorations around binge eating that you might play with for yourself I hope you enjoy this episode and if there is ever a topic you would like me to explore on these Reading Reddit Stories episodes, email me and let me know!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Something I've noticed in food recovery is that certain foods and meals become associated with dieting.  Suddenly, you're afraid or feeling resistance to eating certain vegetables or fruits because these foods have been somatically connected to deprivation and restriction. Your body tenses, your breath gets shallow, you feel tight, and you hear an internal, "NO, don't eat that."  You might find yourself questioning if you're on a diet if you choose the salad over the burger.  The sensations attached to NO make it feel like eating these foods are "wrong." And when you do eat these foods, you feel panicked about if you're going to get enough, will you be satiated, does this mean you're back on a diet again, and on and on.  A part of food recovery can be updating your body's story that all foods are safe but this is not only the foods you have labeled as "bad" but also the foods you used to diet with.  In this week's episode, I chat with Bonnie Roney, Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, about:  The illusion of control in dietingRebuilding trust with your bodyNavigating the hunger and fullness scaleThe importance of consistent eatingNuances to saying yes and no to foodsUnderstanding food choices beyond dietingVisualizing your life and finding your identity beyond dietsYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/making-empowered-food-choices-beyond-diet-culture I really loved this conversation and you will walk away feeling a lot of relief in how to normalize all of your food decisions.

Diets can be a reminder of what no can feel like. The issue occurs that over time a no somatically gets connected with deprivation and restriction. So when you really don’t want to eat something, a no sends your body into a survival response. It can feel like you’re not allowed to say no because now all you feel is tight, tense, and constricted.  And then anti diet culture swoops in and tells you that you’re allowed to eat and to eat everything and this can push you further away from listening to what would resonate most with you. What I find is missing from this process is updating your body that all responses are safe. Yes, no, and maybe.  In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Alexandra Gajer, founder of The Gajer Practice and board-certified physician, about:  Her disillusionment with conventional medicineThe role of gut health in well beingSimplifying nutrition and movementThe overlooked crucial importance of sleepCreating evening rituals for better sleep Building habits that care for you and your bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/simplifying-nutrition-and-movement Enjoy this week's episode and "see" you all next week!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Dr. Gajer: Website: https://thegajerpractice.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGajerPractice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegajerpractice/    Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Every Saturday, my husband and I listen to a podcast that reads Reddit stories.  For a long time, I have wanted to do something similar but with a focus on food and body image behaviors. I even set up a whole form for people to send in questions, but I got very few responses. So I decided to move forward on this anyway and find my own Reddit stories to read and share my thoughts on how I might support that person in their situation.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode:  I read 3 different body image situations I discuss from a trauma, somatic, and nervous system perspective how I might respond to these indivdualsI get into topics such as weight stigma, past trauma, capitalism, and dieting generational traumaI share the wisdom in body image concerns and how to start to see them as protection Because this was a new kind of episode I'm testing out, there is no transcript to this week's episode. If you loved this format, let me know and I will be sure to have transcripts to future episodes like this one.

Over the past few years, I've become more interested in neurodiversity. I've had more people come to work with me navigating being on the ADHD or autism spectrums and telling me that intuitive eating didn't work for them. I saw that many of the bodily changes that can occur as a response to trauma can already be happening in someone's brain when in the spectrum of neurodiversity.  This can include quicker shifts into activated or collapsed nervous system states, less dopamine and time spent in a safety, more energy utilized to socialize, navigate transitions and make decisions. This can show up with food as struggling to hear hunger and fullness cues, heightened sensitivity to texture, taste, or smells, sensory seeking with crunch or flavor, difficulties with planning, cooking, or remembering to eat. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas, clinical neuroscientist, nutrition researcher, autistic ADHDer, and author, about:  ADHD and nutritionListening to your unique body's signalsUnderstanding sensory sensitivitiesThe role environment plays in food choicesThe connection between trauma and foodFinding balance in nutritionPractical meal prep strategiesYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/bioindividual-approach-to-nutrition-for-neurodiversity-and-adhd Enjoy this week's episode and reach out with any insights!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Dr. Miguel here:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiguelmateas/ Website: https://drmiguelmateas.com Book: ADHD Body and Mind https://amzn.to/4riUEjo Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Digestion and cravings can all start in your nervous system. Food decisions made from a stressed, sympathetic nervous system state will lead you to specific foods for your survival.  You then struggle to digest those foods, not because there is something “wrong” with the food or your gut, but because your digestion has shut down to prepare you for battle.  You can start to see that every food behavior you have is trying to do something FOR you.  Your body needs attunement, compassion, and safety, not ridicule, shame, and judgment. Getting to know how your unique body functions and what it needs and when can be an empowering experience. And, there are many lenses that you can get to know your body through.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, inflammation expert, and author, about:  Ayurveda in a modern contextFood as nourishmentUnderstanding your individual dietary needs based on your constitution and doshasSeasonal eating and circadian rhythmsGrowing in your awareness of your connection with foodYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-to-choose-foods-based-on-your-bodys-constitution Chat with you more next week!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Dr. Shivani:  Website: www.shivanigupta.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.shivanigupta/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.shivanigupta  Book: The Inflammation Code: https://amzn.to/4sTPjkp Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Wellness culture teaches you how to NOT feel enough. It is never enough biohacking, protein, red light therapy, organic, sprouted, activated, pure, lectin free food. Feeling like you’re never going to get it “right” does not create wellness. What creates "wellness" are things that cannot be commodified and sold to you as the answer to your fears and worries.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Jenn Trepeck, Certified Health & Nutrition Coach, & author about:  What uncomplicating wellness looks like & meansBiostacking rather than biohackingThe basics of wellnessDefining personal wellnessThe impact of diet cultureWhat wellness actually includes according to researchYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/uncomplicating-wellness Email me any of your insights at [email protected]!

When the focus is always on finding a root cause, it keeps you looking for the next answer and the next answer and the next answer to your food issues. This can keep you stuck in a survival response. This constant searching sends signals of danger to the body that something is wrong, and it has to keep the sympathetic nervous system turned on (where food behaviors intensify). What if there is no root cause to your binge eating or emotional eating or body image concerns or chronic dieting or restricting? What if this is a natural impulse when you don’t feel safe? What if this all made A LOT of sense and there is nothing to fix or change or heal, but rather to explore how you could respond to a food or body impulse differently? In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Shannon Salge, founder of The Wellness Paradigm, Functional Nutritionist and Bioresonance Practitioner about:  Understanding bioresonanceThe role of generational trauma and energy in healing Exploring emotional connections to symptoms Understanding the body's communication Identifying when you need to stop looking for the next treatment to "fix" yourself Daily practices to regulate You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/unraveling-the-hidden-energetic-effects-of-generational-trauma Hope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Shannon: Website: https://www.thewellnessparadigm.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shannon.salge/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannon.salge/ Free Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/TWP_Free_Group  Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

I wanted to approach the transition into a new year differently.  For the past couple of years, I felt like it was more somatically aligned to explore a feeling word for the year rather than resolutions. This feeling word could then be a guiding light throughout the year toward actions or food or environments or hobbies that support you in feeling the way you want to feel.  But, I decided to move away from that this year because I sensed it could be used as another way to disembody and to try to force the body into a state or way of being that is mentally desired but not actually what the body wants or needs.  So, I'm moving in a different somatic direction this year. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about:  The history of a New Year What it means to live somaticallyWhat this looks like as an ongoing practice And how this could all lead to decreasing food behaviors and increasing the creation of living the life you want to be livingYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-death-of-new-years-resolutions I'm excited to explore somatics, trauma, and nutrition more with you over this next year and one exciting piece of news is that the Satiated Podcast has been chosen as one of the Top 40 Women In Food Podcasts by FeedSpot.  So thank you for being here, for continuing to be here, and for leaving such amazing reviews on how much you love the podcast!

This holiday week might have been really hard. Surrounded by family, arguments, familial patterns, working on staying connected, trying to enact different patterns with food, and feeling overwhelmed and dysregulated.  And for others, ​this week may have included huge wins. You noticed yourself regulating your nervous system, staying connected, choosing other options besides food to connect with yourself, and you got to witness just how far you've come in your food recovery.  ​But today, three days after the actual holiday, it may feel like food is even more of a struggle than it was a few days ago. The​ experience of joy, connection, stress, exhaustion, social pressure, and emotional intensity of the day ​may be ove​r, ​but the food is still here. ​Maybe you had a plan leading up to the holiday. You had your friends on stand by via text, you had your somatic practices you've learned here or in a session, you showed up for yourself, you tried to stay connected, and so now you may feel utterly confused that you got through the holiday just fine, but want to binge on every holiday leftover food you can find.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about:  Why leftovers can feel like a threatWhat has changed in your nervous system the day after a holidayMaking sense of your urge to binge leftovers How to somatically process the leftover food binge You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/when-holiday-leftovers-feel-like-a-threat I'll be putting out a special New Years' episode next week so if there is anything you'd like me to add to this episode on how to somatically enter the new year without diet promises and exercise rules, respond to this email with any questions you have!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: [email protected] Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...
