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.

Food Freedom Files Ep. 4 | The "I Was So Good All Week" Spiral
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You start every week with resolve. And end most of them in the same place you started.
In this episode, Dr. Meredith MacKenzie names the "I was so good all week" spiral — one of the most common, most demoralising patterns in her clinical work — and explains exactly why it keeps happening. This isn't a discipline problem. It's a structural one. The controlled week and the chaotic weekend are two sides of the same coin, and understanding why the control creates the blowout is the shift that makes a different approach possible.
Key takeaways:
- Why the "good week / bad weekend" rhythm is a cycle, not a failure pattern
- How describing eating as "good" creates the conditions for the Diet Rebel
- What the meal prep week that slides is actually telling you — and why it's not a food problem
- The all-or-nothing thinking pattern: how one "off" choice becomes a lost week
- What flexible structure actually looks like: planning easy meals and fun meals with equal legitimacy
This week's reflection prompt:
What does the beginning of your week look like with food? What does the end look like? And what does the gap between them tell you — not about your discipline, but about the approach itself?
