One Body to Love with Dr. Meredith MacKenzie

The Beliefs We Inherited About Food, Our Bodies, and Control

Meredith Episode 22

Have you ever wondered where your relationship with food really started? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own personal  journey and introducing you to my new private podcast series - ‘Food Freedom Rewind’. I share the story of how food and body obsession began for me in eighth grade and how cultural messages around control and appearance shaped my coping strategies. I’ll dive into why so many of us struggle with food because of things we've inherited over time. 

In this episode, you will hear:

  • 01:15 - The toxic media landscape of the early 2000s
  • 03:55 - How food gave comfort, control, and rebellion
  • 04:21 - What’s coming inside Food Freedom Rewind podcast series 
  • 06:38 - When food becomes both a coping tool and a source of guilt
  • 07:33 -What you’ve really been needing: care, permission, and consistency
  • 08:02 - How to access the full Food Freedom Rewind series for free

After this episode, I want you to know that you’re not alone and you were never the problem. Whether you grew up counting calories, skipping meals in secret, or believing you had to change your body to be worthy, there is another way forward. I’d love to hear what you thought of this episode, come say hi on Instagram and share what resonated! And if you’re ready for more, we can begin untangling the roots of food and body struggles through my Food Freedom Rewind. Until next time, be gentle with yourself!
