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 Do Holiday Meals Without Shame Look Like?
The holidays are often painted as a time to get together with friends and family to eat and drink, but for many of us healing our relationship with food, it can feel like pressure, anxiety, and shame. Whether it’s the fear of losing control, the guilt after eating, or the constant battle between wanting to enjoy and trying to be “good”. In this episode, I walk you through what actually makes holiday meals so hard, while offering supportive steps you can take before, during, and after the meal. You’ll learn how to create a more peaceful experience, without falling back into restriction, guilt, or self-criticism.
In this episode, you will hear:
- 02:37 – The mixed messages around food
- 04:50 – Why shame comes from the meaning we've learned to attach to food
