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 Healing Actually Looks Like When You Stop Trying to Fix Your Body
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most of us were handed a very specific story about how this is supposed to go: change your body, feel better, finally be at peace with yourself. And it sounds so logical. So achievable. Which is exactly why, when it doesn't work — when the body changes and the thoughts don't quiet, or when you end up right back where you started — it feels so defeating.
In this episode, Dr. Meredith MacKenzie peels back what's actually happening when we stay locked in the project of fixing our bodies. And she offers something that might feel uncomfortable at first: the idea that healing doesn't start with getting the critical thoughts to stop. It starts with understanding why they're there.
In this episode you'll hear:
- (00:00) The mirror moment — and why that automatic body scan has a cumulative effect that colours so much more than just that one instant
- (02:17) Where the "fix your body, feel better" story actually comes from — and why it's designed to keep you coming back
- (04:36) How treating your body as a project keeps you in relationship with a problem — and away from yourself
- (06:54) The grief you never get to do when you're always striving — and why that matters more than most people realise
- (09:12) Control, anxiety, and the real function of body-fixing behaviours
- (11:36) What healing actually looks like — not the Instagram version, the real one
- (13:54) The wins nobody advertises: neutrality, presence, and getting dressed without a thing
- (16:10) Why healing isn't intellectual — it needs to be lived and practised
If this episode resonated and you're ready to understand the cultural story underneath your personal one, the Food Freedom Rewind private podcast was made for you. It's free, it's private, and it traces exactly how so many of us ended up here — and what it looks like to find a way out.
