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.

What It Actually Costs to Keep Shrinking: The Emotional Price of Dieting and Restriction
This episode is for the woman caught between two worlds of wanting freedom with food, yet terrified of what might happen to her body if she lets go of control. I’m not giving you a five-step plan today, I’m naming the thing we don’t always say out loud. We’re not bypassing the grief, instead we’re sitting in it, and deciding that we want peace more than control. Let’s talk about what it means to grieve the body you thought you were supposed to have and what healing actually looks like.
In this episode, you will hear:
• 02:12 - How restriction gives us a sense of identity (even when it’s making us miserable)
• 03:45 - Three things that make recovery harder and how they sneak up on you
• 05:31 - The restrict-rebound cycle: why it’s happening and why shame makes it worse
• 08:03 - The honest truth no one wants to say out loud
• 09:09 - Why your environment matters
• 12:14 - Parenting, pregnancy, and finding a new relationship with my body
• 15:29 - 3 tools for when meals get hard
If this episode revealed a glimpse of what is possible for you, I'd love to hear from you on Instagram. Please also come join me for the free Break the Binge masterclass. It’s where I teach you how to break the restrict-binge cycle without obsessing over food, weight, or control. You only have one body to love!
