Satiated Podcast

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Many of you may know that touch has been linked to the release of oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone related to reproduction, social bonding, stress regulation, and promotes feelings of love, trust, attachment, intimacy, and calm. Ya know what else stimulates the release of oxytocin? Eating.  Research studies have found that an increase in oxytocin can decrease the urge to eat. So you can imagine that if you're lacking safe touch in your life and touch has felt invasive, where you stay away from touch, that your body needed to find another way to receive the oxytocin that it desires to feel calm and connected. It found a way to do that through food. This is another example of why food is not just about the food. We can continue to be curious about what food is doing for your body. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Njideka Olatunde, author, Master Reflexologist, Pain Relief Educator, and founder of Focus On Healing Wellness Institute about:  * The power of touch and re-defining what touch is * Understanding the connection between stress and pain * Refloxology * Daily touch practices * The importance of play and fun * I also sprinkle in the connection between touch and your food behaviors You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here [https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/touch-for-healing-pain-and-decreasing-cravings]: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/touch-for-healing-pain-and-decreasing-cravings With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Dr. Olatunde here:  Website: https://focusonhealing.com/ [https://focusonhealing.com/] LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/njidekanolatunde [http://www.linkedin.com/in/njidekanolatunde]  Instagram: www.instagram.com/evolving_butterfly [http://www.instagram.com/evolving_butterfly]  YouTube: www.youtube.com/@changingliveswithtouchology [http://www.youtube.com/@changingliveswithtouchology]  Podcast: www.touchologywellnessexperience.com [http://www.touchologywellnessexperience.com] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support] Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ [https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox [https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox] Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ [https://www.stephaniemara.com/] https://www.somaticeating.com/ [https://www.somaticeating.com/] Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox [https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox] Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support [https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support] My favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeating [https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeating] Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here [https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA]: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA [https://www.equipfoods.com/discount/STEPHANIEMARA?rfsn=7433250.c99684] Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl [https://amzn.to/448IyPl] Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  It can be confusing what path to choose for your food recovery when there are many different paths you can walk. When exploring all the various avenues, you can focus on your experience of choice.  There is no "right" way to decrease your food coping mechanisms. It gets to be unique to you, your body, and what supports you in feeling the way you want to feel in your life. Your recovery resources are your choice (something that the experience of trauma can feel like it took away from you).  When trying out any somatic, nervous system, trauma, parts practices, you can observe how you feel before, during, and after to discover which practices resonate with you. You will receive this bodily feedback by tracking your capacity to flow through dysregulation, big emotions and sensations, and what helps you to return to yourself again and again.  In this week's episode, I chat with Caroline McNally, Hypnotherapist & Longevity Coach, about:  * Hypnotherapy resources you can use on yourself to navigate food urges and impulses * Utilizing visualization for navigating your relationship with food * The importance of laughter on this healing journey  * Reminding yourself that you have a choice You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here [https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/food-cravings-with-self-hypnosis-resources]: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/food-cravings-with-self-hypnosis-resources 6 more days to sign up for the Somatic Eating® Program!  In three months together, you will walk away with an abundance of various somatic practices to navigate your food cravings with connection, embodiment, and experience of choice.

Happy Satiated Saturday!  When you're feeling threatened in your body, hunger and fullness cues can feel wonky and also frightening.  Hunger can come out of nowhere and remind you how little control you may feel in your life right now. The felt sense of hunger can be similar to past experiences you've had that left you feeling unsafe.  The empty feeling may remind you of being abandoned as a child and the hurt and pain of not feeling held the way you needed to be. If you ignore hunger, you can also ignore the pain that hunger reminds you of.  In this week's episode, I chat about:  * The somatic and cognitive influences on hunger * How the felt sense of hunger gets paired with danger  * Somatic practices to update your body's hunger story  You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here [https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/why-youre-afraid-of-feeling-hungry]: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/why-youre-afraid-of-feeling-hungry If you're looking for support to update your body's story of hunger, come join the Somatic Eating® Program. We start on May 22nd and spend three months together, where you will learn the language of your body and how it is speaking to you through your food impulses.  Your food behaviors have never been the "problem," they have always been the answer. You will discover what your food patterns have been answering for you and how to meet the call in food and non-food ways.

Happy Satiated Saturday!  What if diet culture wasn't actually the "problem"?  Focusing on diet culture can become a distraction. It keeps the conversation circling around the same point—being controlled around our food choices is the problem, and we need to regain our experience of choice with food.  Yet, when all of our attention stays on food, we miss out on exploring the deeper layers of who we are, beyond what we eat. Staying locked in a battle with diet culture can distract us from stepping into our power.  In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with my dear friend and colleague, Abbie Attwood, Anti-diet Nutritionist, about:  * Understanding health and nutrition messaging * The complexity of trusting ourselves and science * Challenging the notion of control over health * Distractions from systemic issues in health * The impact of socioeconomic factors on food choices * Enhancing your critical thinking skills in nutrition and media You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here [https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/society-shapes-dieting-behaviors]: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/society-shapes-dieting-behaviors  Doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!! 🎉 🎉 🎉  Go to somaticeating.com to join today.

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Intuition has been fascinating for me.  I first started getting into the mind-body connection through practicing and learning about yoga and yoga philosophy. In yoga classes, I would often hear teachers talking about trusting your intuition. To be guided by your intuition.  But, what I rarely heard was descriptions of how do you know something is intuition. Is what you're feeling intuition or fear? The more I learned about somatic work, the more I started to question the experience of intuition and where it comes from.  When I finally discovered that intuitive processes are correlated with the activation of a part of the prefrontal cortex, called the orbitofrontal cortex, and that this part of your brain is diminished in activity after experience childhood trauma, I began to piece together that intuition is not something that everyone may easily be able to tap into based on their history.  In this week's episode, I chat with Katie Beecher, Licensed Professional Counselor and Medical and Emotional Intuitive, about:  * The difference between intuition and fear * Practices to strengthen your intuition * The healing power of movement and art * Embracing your sensitivities * Important factors to include in your food recovery journey You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here [https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/discover-your-inner-wisdom]: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/discover-your-inner-wisdom With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Katie:  Website: https://katiebeecher.com/ [https://katiebeecher.com/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiebeecher_medical_intuitive/ [https://www.instagram.com/katiebeecher_medical_intuitive/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beechermedicalintuitive [https://www.facebook.com/beechermedicalintuitive] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support] Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ [https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox [https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox] Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ [https://www.stephaniemara.com/] https://www.somaticeating.com/ [https://www.somaticeating.com/] Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox [https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox] Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support [https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support] My favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeating [https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeating] Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here [https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA]: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA [https://www.equipfoods.com/discount/STEPHANIEMARA?rfsn=7433250.c99684] Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl [https://amzn.to/448IyPl] Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...
