Regina joins Darren to discuss her journey from childhood dieting and food restriction to what she calls body mind harmony. They explore how diet culture, stress, hormones, and food choices affect our relationship with eating, including a conversation about intermittent fasting and GLP-1 medications.
Key topics
  • How childhood experiences shaped Regina’s lifelong pattern of dieting and food control.
  • The physical and emotional costs Regina experienced after years of restriction.
  • Why external diet rules can disconnect people from their hunger cues.
  • How fasting and hormonal changes may affect women differently.
  • Regina’s simple plate framework: fiber, protein, and fats.
  • The potential benefits and risks of GLP-1 medications.
  • How stress, sleep, movement, and emotional health contribute to well-being.
  • Why restriction can backfire, including lessons from the Minnesota Starvation Study.
