Gut Health, Why Calories Aren’t an Accurate Measurement of Nutrition & Intuitive Living in an Office Job with Victoria Myers

Today’s podcast I sit down with Victoria Myers who is a Registered Dietitian specializing in hormonal and gut health. She’s one half of the dynamic duo behind Nourishing Minds Nutrition and the Nourishing Women Podcast. Vicotria and Meg are traditional eaters and untraditional dietitians. Through their practice, they empower women to find peace with food, heal digestion & regulate hormones.

I loved this conversation so much. Victoria is such a wealth of knowledge and she shares it with compassion. I love her approach to health, wellness, and healing. This episode is perfect for anyone who is struggling with gut issues and especially if they’ve previously struggled with disordered eating. We also dive into developing hobbies outside of food, living intuitively when you work in an office and have less flexibility and so much more. I didn’t want this episode to end. Like with so many of my guests, I so dearly wish we were neighbors because I’m pretty sure we’d be FAST friends.

We Talk About:

  • Victoria’s story – how she got into the work she’s doing now as a dietitian with a private practice
  • What her husband taught Victoria about intuitive eating
  • Misconceptions about gut health
  • Where to start when you know you have gut health issues
  • The connections between SIBO and disordered eating
  • Why food is a part of your health, but not all of your health
  • When an elimination diet isn’t right to heal (when it’s right and when it might not help)
  • Why holistic health CAN be part of intuitive eating
  • Finding a middle ground between wellness and realness #wellnesswithoutobsession
  • Why calories aren’t a complete measurement of nutrition
  • Why dieting causes our bodies to gain weight in the long-term
  • Why binging and restricting go hand in hand
  • Why stopping restricting is the key to stopping binging
  • Why food is an awesome part of your life but not the only part of your life
  • Other practices outside of food that support the healing journey
  • How to deal with losing your “healthy” identity
  • How slowing down can create more time
  • You have to choose to slow down
  • Fears about intuitive eating
  • Dealing with weight gain
  • Body acceptance versus self-love
  • Intuitive living within a 9-5
  • make meal prep fun – bring options for enough food throughout the day
  • If you work out in the morning make sure you’re still prioritizing sleep

  1. I LOVE Victoria’s perspective on calories and gut health and balance and dieting! I’m so thankful you interviewed her Georgie; you’ve had so many compelling interviews!

  2. So glad you had Victoria on the podcast today. I LOVE the Nourishing Women podcast, and as I progress through my recovery journey, hearing the positive attitudes women like Victoria and yourself have regarding food, calories, and exercise is so POSITIVE. I TOTALLY agree with the importance of taking probiotics. Thanks for yet another amazing episode!
