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.

When Intuitive Eating Feels Like It’s Not Working
If you’ve ever thought, “I know what intuitive eating is, so why does food still feel chaotic?” you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m unpacking the hidden barriers that make intuitive eating feel impossible, burnout, emotional disconnection, and body image struggles. You’ll hear real client stories, learn why capacity matters more than discipline, and discover how to reconnect with your body without turning it into another set of rules. If food freedom feels just out of reach, this conversation will help you see that the problem isn’t you, you might just need a softer, more compassionate start.
In this episode, you will hear:
- 01:44 – A client’s story of exhaustion, burnout, and turning to food for comfort
- 02:52 – What attunement really means and why it requires emotional and physical capacity
- 04:03 – How chronic stress dampens your ability to notice hunger and fullness cues
- 07:39 – The role of emotional literacy in healing your relationship with food
- 10:16 – Challenging deep-seated beliefs about weight, worth, and “health”
- 13:12 – My free “When You Can’t Tell If You’re Really Hungry” flow chart and how it helps you pause with compassion
