One Body to Love with Dr. Meredith MacKenzie
One Body to Love with Dr. Meredith MacKenzie is a space for honest, unfiltered conversations about food relationships, body image, and the emotional journey to self-acceptance. Hosted by binge eating therapist and intuitive eating coach Dr. Meredith MacKenzie, this podcast dives deep into what it really takes to break free from the cycles of bingeing, restricting and food guilt, in order to finally feel at home in your body. With warmth, insight, and lived experience, this show offers connection and guided support for women who are tired of chasing perfection and ready to reconnect with themselves in a more meaningful way, free from outside pressures.
Each week through solo episodes, guest interviews, and real-life coaching conversations, listeners are invited into real, grounded conversations. Ranging from topics of intuitive eating and binge eating recovery, to reclaiming your body, joyful movement, and navigating life in a culture obsessed with size. If you’ve ever whispered, “I don’t know what else to try,” One Body to Love will offer a new perspective, one rooted in compassion, curiosity, and sustainable change. Whether you’re in the thick of it or slowly finding your way forward, this is your reminder that healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.

Is This Normal? 7 Signs Your Relationship with Food Needs a Reset
Have you ever caught yourself asking, “Why am I always thinking about food?” Or wondering if that constant food noise in your head is just part of life now? In this episode of One Body to Love, I walk you through 7 gentle, but powerful red flags that your relationship with food might need a reset. These are the patterns I’ve seen in so many clients, and lived myself, that are often overlooked or even praised by diet culture.
If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of guilt, control, and overthinking every bite, this episode is a compassionate check-in. Let’s unpack these signs together and talk about how you can start to reclaim your mental space, rebuild trust with your body, and finally find freedom around food.
In this episode, you will hear:
- 02:25 - Food noise: when thinking about food becomes constant and overwhelming
- 06:40 - Trying to fix or undo what you ate (and why that doesn’t work)
- 10:30 - The cheat day spiral and how it reinforces binge-restrict cycles
- 17:38 - Eating differently depending on who’s watching
- 22:08 - How restriction creates urgency and power struggles with food
- 29:30 – What “intuitive eating” really means
- 31:25 – These patterns are learned and they can be unlearned
If today’s episode sparked a quiet “maybe this is me”, that’s a powerful moment. These are not failures, they’re patterns you learned to survive in a culture obsessed with appearance. But they’re not the whole story. You can rewrite your relationship with food and it starts with awareness, compassion, and support.
I’d love to hear what came up for you, send me a message on Instagram and share what stood out.
