Welcome to the Whole-Hearted Eating Podcast!
Welcome to the Whole-Hearted Eating podcast: where non-diet nutrition, weight-inclusive care, and integrative health collide. Whole-Hearted Eating is a philosophy created by your hosts, Dana Monsees (hey, that’s me!) and Cristina Hoyt (my co-host and business partner in crime!), Licensed Integrative Clinical Nutritionists and Body Image Coaches. We believe you deserve to have a joyful relationship with food and your body even if you have a chronic health condition or symptoms that just won’t quit. This show goes beyond introducing you to new, expanded ideas – we’re bringing the real talk (no BS) vibe with tangible tools to get you officially out of the all or nothing mentality, learn to accept your body, and how to untangle nutrition from diet and wellness culture.

“Summer bodies” are a scam
Let’s talk about the summer body scam: why you can (and I highly recommend that you) opt out. Summer is one of my favorite times of the year.
