   Let’s Talk About Bodies with Lizzy Cangro

   Trigger Warning: In our conversation, we discuss eating disorders, food intake, over-exercise, and similar themes. Please, please take care of yourselves as you listen, and avoid if these topics might be triggering for you. Everyone please welcome Lizzy Cangro to Continued Conversations! Lizzy and I are both South Bay residents, and we met online (how fun)! I am so glad she was open to joining me for a conversation because this was such an impactful one to be part of. I’m so excited for you to listen in. In our conversation, we discuss… * Silent suffering. * The tendency to just look at the physical side of body image struggles and forget about the mental side. * Lizzy’s impetus for becoming a nutritionist. * Eating disorders being so taboo. * Talking about our struggles removes a lot of the shame of the experience. * Working with younger clients and impacting young women in the ways she needed someone to help when she was struggling. * Validating clients’ feelings and addressing the complexity of weight gain and nutrition. * The neutrality of food. * The intuitive download that was Lizzy’s book, Reclaim The Rebel (https://nutritionbylizzy.com/reclaimtherebel?srsltid=AU7gw4U2dOS3i2Q-DD_tsWBrhwMuwnLvcyOFcbC7OwIrQUbyQju2ET85), and opening her heart to facing the things she’d been through and sharing her story publicly. * The healing never stops. * Caring for your body is a never-ending practice. * Getting to know what works for you and your body so you can use that as your north star to move through the phases of life. * Evolving eating and movement habits with different seasons of life. * Men are marketed to through ego-driven science, and the need for more support for male EDs. * Lizzy’s journey as a runner. * Movement as pleasure, not punishment. * Perfectionism, extremes, and finding the gray area. * Bonding with your body - your body wants you to be well. Lizzy shares about her journey as both a nutritionist and a woman living in a body. She speaks to her book, her work, and what she’s gone through on a personal level when it comes to her body. The work she is doing in the world is very much needed, and I am beyond glad she is showing up for her clients in the ways she does. Wait until the end because her favorite thing about her body is such a good one. Enjoy this one! “This is a practice. You're never gonna get it perfect, you know? There's still gonna be days. I say life's gonna life. So, you know, even if it's non-body image related, and people go on holiday and they go, "Oh, I forgot to take my supplements to help my digestion," I'm like, “Okay, fine. Life's gonna life. Just get back on the horse,” you know? There might be days — certain parts of your cycle — where that inner critic is a little bit more prominent, and that's being human. It's about having the tools and applying them so you can move through it. It's not about never having a bad thought about your body ever again. I think that is setting yourself up for an unrealistic experience of life.” - Lizzy Cangro Lizzy Cangro is a registered nutritionist and author who specialises in helping high-achieving women feel their best even when life is busy. Through her 18-year personal journey of overcoming an eating disorder and battling her body daily, she found her passion and purpose: helping other women heal, trust their bodies and feel like themselves again. Lizzy works with women in all seasons of life, from puberty to post-menopause, using a comprehensive, personalised approach. Holding an MA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge and an MSc in Nutrition from King’s College London, she pairs science-backed advice with an empathetic understanding to help you reach and sustain your goals without restriction, boredom or time-consuming routines. To book a session with her, go to https://bookme.name/lizzycangro/client-call (https://bookme.name/lizzycangro/client-call). Details of her multi-award-winning book, Reclaim the Rebel: 12 Rebellious Acts to Achieve Unconditional Love for your Body (https://nutritionbylizzy.com/reclaimtherebel?srsltid=AU7gw4U2dOS3i2Q-DD_tsWBrhwMuwnLvcyOFcbC7OwIrQUbyQju2ET85), can be found at your favourite book retailer, including Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737631504?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback), Kindle and Barnes and Noble.

   Continued Conversations with Phoenix Betancourt

   Trigger Warning: In our conversation, we discuss eating disorders, food intake, weight gain, weight loss, body dysmorphia, and other topics involved in these themes. Please, please, please take care of yourselves as you listen and avoid if these topics might be triggering for you. Everyone please welcome Phoenix Betancourt to Continued Conversations! Phoenix and I met through the film world, and he’d actually written the most recent short film I’d done, “Happy Anniversary, Babe.” Working with Phoenix was a dream, and I was so excited he was interested in sitting down to talk body image with me. In our conversation, we discuss… * Prioritizing taking care of yourself first throughout the process of making art. * Phoenix’s experience with Crohn’s disease. * Phoenix’s take on his relationship to the scale vs. the mirror. * The frustration of medications having an invisible impact on your body that you don’t have control over. * Finding what works for you and leaving what’s unhelpful for you, personally. * Actions and behaviors can reflect self-love and nourishment. * The process of reframing how we see ourselves and our bodies. * Bodily insecurities are not unique to the female experience. * The practice of intentionally speaking love into the parts of our bodies that we are most insecure about and don’t always like. * The intersection of science and spirituality and the nuance of the self-love movement. * Phoenix’s plans to write about the experiences he’s been through and tell the stories that are close to home. * Growing up with religious trauma and the impact that has had on Phoenix’s lived experience. This was such an impactful conversation to be part of, and I am very grateful to Phoenix for so openly sharing his story. I loved hearing about the tools and practices he uses to care for his body and his mind - some of which were really cool aha moments for me, and I hope there are for you too. I cannot wait for you to hear our conversation! “ I think it was also my actions and behaviors that were really reflecting self-love, and I was eating healthier with the goal of changing my body, but with the goal of nourishing my body. I was exercising because it felt good to me. And when you're doing those things naturally, your body will change. And so I was doing things that made me feel good, and my body was changing. I remember one day specifically, I was looking in the mirror, and [I said] “I don't have to pretend to say this. I'm actually saying this. I'm hot! I look good!" So that was a really cool moment for me.“ - Phoenix Betancourt Phoenix Betancourt currently resides in Los Angeles, CA where he is pursuing his passion for creative storytelling. He uses his own personal experience combined with years of mental health research in order to bring accurate representation to the screen. Follow Phoenix on Instagram!

   Continued Conversations with Cami Codell

   Trigger Warning: in our conversation, we discuss themes of diet culture, eating disorders, death, body image, disordered eating, statistics involving eating disorders, and disordered movement patterns. Please, please, please take care of yourselves as you listen and avoid if these topics might be triggering for you. Everyone, please welcome Cami Codell to Continued Conversations! Cami and I met doing theatre in Chicago back in 2015, and so, this conversation was such a beautiful point of reconnection for the both of us. We’d recently discovered that we were doing similar work in the body image space - Cami, a trauma-informed therapeutic yoga teacher focusing on the body, and I a body image advocate talking about bodies in a helpful (not hurtful) way. And it was just such a wonderful experience for us to share in this conversation about this topic having both come from the same creative world. We discuss a multitude of heavy, yet extremely important topics when it comes to our bodies, culture, and mental illness - some involving the arts as well. Again, please take care of yourself as you listen through ♥️ Before we dive in, I was on Cami’s 3 OMs podcast this summer. Check out our episode here (https://camicodell.substack.com/p/episode-6-megan-gill?r=25eay4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web)! In our conversation, we discuss… * Growing up in a body-conscious and fatphobic society and community. * How life-saving Cami’s yoga practice is and what it taught her about connecting to her body. * How we’re taught to view our bodies as tools for productivity and exist for the consumption of others (especially as artists, let alone female-identifying artists). * The irony that we as humans fear change when it’s inherently a part of us - and our bodies will forever be changing. * The importance of understanding how recovery functions in our fascist, imperialist, patriarchal, capitalist society that we live in. * “The Body Is Not An Apology (https://www.sonyareneetaylor.com/the-body-is-not-an-apology)” by Sonya Renee Taylor * The nuance and difficulty of recovering from an eating disorder, or any mental illness. * The radical act of choosing the path of resistance. * Eat, Breathe, Thrive (https://www.eatbreathethrive.org/) and eating disorders thriving in secrecy * The intersection of privilege and access and eating disorders * Remembering that we need to continue to fight the anti-diet-culture fight - there is a ripple effect to create systemic change. * “If I don’t laugh about it, I’ll cry about it” and using humor to heal. * Respect vs. control when it comes to our bodies and lives: “My body does not work for me. I work for my body.” * The brilliance and wisdom of our bodies: they are oftentimes wiser than we give them credit for. * We cannot prevent the inevitable failing of our bodies. * Coming back home to yourself and regrounding in your body’s intuition, our shared stories, and science-backed knowledge. Cami’s energy is overwhelmingly infectious, and she is just an insanely impressive wealth of knowledge when it comes to body work. She drops some tough statistics to hear and uncovers a few somewhat taboo topics of conversation when it comes to our bodies. She is such a light in this world, and I am so glad she is doing the work she’s doing - it’s very much needed, especially in the movement space. I was deeply moved by my conversation with Cami, and I cannot wait for you to hear it for yourself! “ I think the universe really thought it would be hilariously entertaining to make the thing that we as human beings fear the most, the one thing that we have only ever known and will only ever always know, which is change. I was just talking about this in my classes this week because we were talking about the breath. You breathe 25,000-ish times a day without your brain having to tell your body to do it, right? It's an autonomic function. And it's in constant flux. There's the inhale, pause at the top of the inhale. There's the exhale, and the pause at the top of the exhale. And that cycle continues over and over and over again. There's no homeostasis when it comes to the breath. The homeostasis is death. It’s so funny that we fear change so much because it’s inherently a part of us.” - Cami Codell Cami Codell, E-RYT became a certified Kripalu yoga teacher in 2017 and specializes in trauma-informed therapeutic yoga for pregnancy/postpartum, children/families, and disordered eating/body image. She has taught & trained in various settings in North America, Europe, & Asia, including studios, schools, outpatient and residential psychiatric treatment, senior care facilities, and more. Cami’s aim is to lovingly support people’s total well-being using the practice of yoga, starting with our youngest generation. In addition to teaching yoga, Cami is a blog writer and host of the 3 OMs Podcast, in which she and her guests chant OM three times at the start of each interview. Cami is part of the ownership and lead teaching team of Amala School of Prenatal Yoga, training yoga teachers in working with the perinatal population.
