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.

Binge Eating, Business & Becoming a Mom: Finding Peace in the Messy with Julie Fried
This week on One Body to Love, I’m delighted to be joined by Julie Fried. Julie is a mom, business owner and the host of The Systems for Everything podcast. Julie shares her journey with binge recovery, starting with her first binge in middle school, to entering treatment in her early twenties, and how becoming a mother sparked a whole new reason to heal. Julie’s story reminds us that healing is not about perfection. For those who feel like their relationship with food is messy, complicated or still in progress, I hope this episode makes you feel seen.
In this episode, you will hear:
- 03:46 - Why she identifies with the term “addiction” and how binge eating mirrors substance use
- 12:50 - What her treatment looked like: inpatient, outpatient, and living without a phone
- 20:38 – Realizing she was hiding behind healing
- 27:07 - The AIP diet: what it taught her and what she loved
- 38:00 - How burnout in business triggered old patterns
- 42:10 - The legacy she wants to leave for her daughter around food, bodies, and self-worth
If Julie’s story resonated with you, I’d love to hear what landed. Come connect with me on Instagram and share your thoughts. And please remember, you don’t have to be fully healed to be worthy of peace, joy, and nourishment. You are allowed to be a work in progress and still deserve love.
