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.

Your Holiday Diet Talk Survival Guide: Staying Grounded and Asserting Boundaries
For those of us healing our relationship with food, the holidays can be a minefield of comments that trigger some of our deepest wounds. In today’s episode of One Body to Love, I’m naming the grief, the shame, and the hypervigilance that diet talk can awaken in spaces that are supposed to feel safe. Whether you’ve spent years healing your relationship with food, or you’re just starting to build boundaries around what you will and won’t tolerate, I want you to know that you are not overreacting. Together, we’ll explore how to navigate holiday meals and family conversations with more agency and grounded self-trust. You don’t have to participate in conversations that harm you.
In this episode, you will hear:
- 01:58 - The layers of generational shame that often make up “harmless” comments and why you’re not crazy for getting triggered
- 04:41 - What’s happening in our nervous systems when we feel judged and how to prepare yourself emotionally before you even walk into the room
- 08:06 - Realistic examples of how to handle diet talk in real-time
- 16:28 - Using a gameplan so you can protect your peace while maintaining connection with others
- 20:55 - The importance of checking in with yourself post-gathering before rushing back into your routine
It takes courage to do this work and show up differently. Know that you deserve to be fed, not just with food, but with kindness, presence, and belonging. If this conversation resonated, please support the podcast and spread this message by sending it to someone who could benefit from hearing it. I’ll see you next time!
