Happy Satiated Saturday!
Your struggles with food rooted in a lack of safety in your body are not just a response to trauma, they're also shaped by the commodification of health.
The idea that a product, supplement, protocol, or routine could "fix" you and make you feel safe often triggers your fight-or-flight response. This constant sense of danger can intensify binge or restrictive food behaviors as your body seeks regulation.
When health is commodified, it can never feel like enough. There’s always another longevity bio-hack, another supplement, another "should" to do for your health that your body never gets the chance to feel safe and relax into the health that is here right now.
There were a lot of health trends in 2024 including ozempic, cortisol face, the continued focus on eating enough protein, lifting weights, and the demonization of foods like hyper-palatable foods, seed oils, and sugar. So what's to come in 2025?
In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with my dear friend and colleague Michelle Shapiro, Integrative & Functional Registered Dietitian and the host of the Quiet the Diet Podcast about:
- The evolving landscape of wellness and diet culture
- The commodification of health practices
- The trends of 2024 and what we hope to see in 2025
- Healing from long covid and other health issues
- Creating the foundations of health
- The role of self authority and curiosity in your healing
- And so much more....

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
