Dr. Anita DelPrete: Fighting for Healthy Eating, Mindset & Safe Weight Cutting

What happens when healing becomes your life’s mission?

After overcoming her own struggles with trauma, depression, and eating disorders, Dr. Anita DelPrete dedicated her life to helping others achieve lasting wellness through the powerful connection of mind, body, and spirit.

In this episode of She Fights, Heather Winkeljohn sits down with Dr. Anita to discuss healthy eating, mindset, recovery, and the role nutrition plays in both physical and emotional well-being. Together, they explore how sustainable wellness is built through balance, education, and a deeper understanding of the body’s ability to heal.

Heather and Anita also reflect on their years working together at Jackson Wink MMA Academy, where they helped professional fighters optimize performance, safely manage weight, and recover after competition. Their work challenged many of the dangerous old-school approaches to weight cutting and replaced them with healthier, science-based strategies that prioritized both performance and long-term health.

Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, or simply someone looking to improve your health, this conversation offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and a reminder that true strength begins from the inside out.

SPEAKER_01 0:59

Joining me today is Dr. Anita Delpreet. And Anita is an author, teacher, and nutrition specialist. And she's deeply passionate about guiding individuals towards vibrant, balanced lives. And she uses an integrative approach to health and wellness. She empowers people by honoring the fundamentals of balanced nutrition and exercise, recovery, which we often don't hear as much about, and just harmonizing mind, body, and spirit. And Anita overcame her own challenges with trauma and depression and eating disorder. And she transformed her life through the body's innate healing power. And this personal journey inspired her to earn her master's in holistic nutrition and a PhD in natural health sciences. And this ultimately led to her book, A Wellness Revolution. It starts with you. And let me tell you, that book is filled with good science, good knowledge, good. I mean, if you need any kind of a health reference book, this is the book to get. She's the co-founder and director of a multidisciplinary wellness center. And she has supported over 12,000 individuals through integrative care while overseeing operations, team development, patient-centered programming. And she happens to have been a nutrition specialist for our gym, world-renowned Jackson Wink MMA Academy. And I worked alongside with Dr. Anita. She's a close friend of mine. And I personally saw and witnessed how she optimized performance and the recovery of our athletes, UFC athletes, Vellator, PFL athletes. And additionally, she's authored health and fitness content for national publications. And she has formulated and commercialized clean performance nutrition products. She was instrumental in the creation of a protein pattern that we had for many years. And she's basically just helped people transform their lives. When I worked with you, Anita, I focused on kind of the gut health and illness, people that were dealing with chronic illness and helped them and through functional nutrition. And Anita focused on safe weight cutting for our athletes because there are crazy old school ways and often dangerous ways of weight cutting that result in serious dehydration, excessive sauna. And she basically turned all of that old school pedagogy on its head. She helped a lot of our high-level athletes before their fights. And a big thing that gets missed is she was instrumental in their recovery as soon as they stepped off the scale, because that's a big part of longevity, is how they recover. But before we get into that, I want to start with you because I know you had your own struggles as a sexual assault survivor in your early 20s and an eating disorder. If you could touch on that a bit and just tell us what was instrumental in your recovery and what helped you heal.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

Yeah. Wow. Thank you for that intro. Quite a quite a lovely intro. So my whole life, actually as a young child, I had I was just obsessed with body image. And I'm not really sure where it came from. But I can remember being very, very young and being like in elementary school when I was first conscious of like I wasn't as thin as some of my other counterparts. I just happened to have more of a mesomorph, stocky, for lack of better word, build. But back then in the in the 70s and early 80s, that was king, if you were five pounds over the limit, you were considered fat. And so that was kind of the beginning. And so I did struggle with that all throughout, you know, growing up. But then when I had, and I had some kind of some trauma difficulties, you know, as a young kid, but when I was sexually assaulted in college, that's when it was kind of like pouring gasoline on the fire. And it just really totally derailed me. And it's not uncommon for people of sexual abuse or significant trauma to, you know, turn towards self-harm, like cutting, eating disorders, you know, drug abuse, substance abuse, that kind of stuff. And for me, I just latched on to pretty much bulimia. And I struggled with that for a very long time. Part of it had to do with I just needed to try to control something, which the irony was I wasn't controlling anything. I was controlling anything. It was controlling me. And kind of the two pivotal things that happened in my life that really transformed the way I thought, and truly I attribute to my my kind of like the total recovery was the first thing was I started really learning about nutrition. And I realized that all of the things that I was doing in my obsession with trying to attain this perfect thinness ideal that was made up by the media that could never attain anyway. I was just eating crappy food. And that crappy food, little did I know, had all of these chemicals that, of course, was making me even more depressed and more anxious and all of these other things. And so the more I started learning about what I was putting in my body, the more easier it was to kind of transition out of that. Because I grew up thinking, well, if it's on the shelf in a grocery store, certainly it's healthy. They're not going to put anything unhealthy in a grocery store. But then the second thing that really happened in tandem was my reconnection with my faith. It was really my relationship with God and understanding that He created me and He made me unique. And I wasn't supposed to be like anybody else. I wasn't supposed to look like anybody else. I wasn't supposed to act like anybody else. He made me to be unique. And so I learned to just start embracing and accepting that. Now, obviously, you know, there are always things that we want to work on as we improve throughout life, but kind of getting to that self-approval instead of looking outward were really the two pivotal things that helped me recover. And then I turned around and decided, well, I'm going to do whatever I can to help other people because there's so many women and men that struggle with the same issues.

SPEAKER_01 7:22

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head because I see people, you just walk around any public place, and you can see the diseased, you know, among us, just unhealthy lifestyles, obesity. And you just want to, you know, you just want to tell them, hey, look, there's a way out of this.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

How do you think nutrition or diet affects mental health and emotional well-being?

SPEAKER_02 7:48

Well, so I call it the food mood connection, which is basically our bodies are designed to take food and nutrients that are it's found in food. And by food I mean food that comes from the earth, not a petri dish. And our body takes those nutrients and breaks them down into microscopic particles and then uses those particles throughout different parts of our body. And one of those would be our neurotransmitters, which are our brain chemicals. So a lot of times what we eat can be converted into healthy neurotransmitters, or I'm not going to say unhealthy neurotransmitters, but some that are excitatory and kind of get us anxious and stimulate us versus others that help calm us down. And in addition to that, in our food supply, depending on which stat you look at, anywhere from 10,000 to 12,000 more chemicals are in our food supply now. And these basically lab rats. Right? We're big, big lab rats. And these are chemicals that were not there 75 years ago. And some common ones that we you and I have talked about for decades would be artificial sweeteners and artificial dyes and colors, right? And for the longest time, particularly the mama bears, were really big on getting the dyes out of the foods for the kids, like red dye 40. And we were told, oh no, no, there's nothing wrong. It's totally safe. Well, no, actually, it's not. And now it's no longer in our food supply, thank God. So we have this food supply that has all of these harmful chemicals, which play with our brain and affect our mood. And in addition to that, you then have foods that should be nutrient dense, but they're nutrient deficit. And so, even critical things like essential fatty acids, your B complex, which is your critical stress vitamins that you know your body uses when you're under stress, whether it's emotional stress or physical stress, that's depleted in our food supply. And so we wonder why we're depressed and why we're anxious and why we're edgy and why we can't go to sleep, and all of these things that over time and compounded make a big effect on our bodies. And in the United States, our food supply is just really pretty crappy. It's just overprocessed and ridden with chemicals. And I think that a lot of people like me think, well, it wouldn't be on the shelf if it was harmful. And that's just not the case. Fortunately, I think the tide is turning and people are becoming awakened to that. But you know, we are a product of what we eat. And so it's kind of like garbage in, garbage out. And so to be a lot more mindful of what are we putting in our bodies and how is the body designed to function? Because it was designed to take nutrients from food and use it to fuel our body from an energy perspective, from a mental capacity, you know, longevity, clarity, you know, brain fog, all of these different functions that go on derive from our food.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Yeah. No, and I know when we were working together and I was doing functional nutrition and running GI maps. And I specifically remember a client I had in another state, and she was just debilitating, she had debilitating anxiety. And we looked at the gut microbiome because all these chemicals, all these the glyphosate, they wreck the gut, they cause leaky gut. And then you get this imbalance of pathogens, and that microbiome is huge, where we have neurotransmitters like you were talking about in the gut. And I remember we treated her gut and her anxiety diminished to almost nothing. And uh, and it's just it's it's huge. The nutrition, what you're putting in your body, what you're keeping out of your body, how you're detoxifying, all of that is so huge in correlation to mental health and emotional.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

Yeah. And I think that's one of the reasons why we made such a good tag team, is because to your point, I could have said, hey, eat all these great foods, but if the microbiome is completely messed up and then you don't have the absorption, then there's only so much good that is going to come out of it. And it you really need to address both, you know, and that's why we worked so well is because it was this synergistic, hey, these are the elements that I'm seeing and how what we should modify, but we got to make sure that those nutrients get through to the system and and all of that.

SPEAKER_01 12:18

So totally agree. And if you're taking even be taking all the supplements you want in the world, and if your gut's not absorbing them or getting any nutrient from your food, then it's it's basically like flushing it down the toilet. Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:31

But in many places it literally is, right?

SPEAKER_01 12:34

Yeah, yeah. So with your battle with bulimia and eating disorders, what would you say are warning signs? Because this is such a big issue with young women or any many women of all different ages, but what are some warning signs that someone's starting to have an unhealthy relationship to food?

SPEAKER_02 12:53

Well, I think obviously the key ones is just obsession with how they look. This obsession, and I think most of it is would be categorized as obsession with thinness, being thin. You don't really see people obsessed with musculature unless you're getting into bodybuilding, which is a whole other avenue. But calorie counting, just when they're we're obsessed with how much they're eating, calorie restriction, food restrictions, they can't have carbohydrates. Oh, carbs are bad, carbs are bad, fast.

SPEAKER_01 13:20

Yeah, we heard that a lot, didn't we? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:23

Yeah. It's like, yeah, it was my number one pet peeve. It's like, well, no, the body's designed to function off of carbohydrates. It's just when you eat them and what kind you're eating that is the bigger issue. But this obsession with particularly with women, weight on a scale. You know, women get like locked in on I have to have this number. And I had that same issue. I mean, there was at one point where I had a scale by the front door, and this is after I'd already lost weight. So I was overweight and then a pendulum swing in the opposite direction and I became underweight. And I would step on the scale when I would leave the house and when I would come home for lunch. And if it was one pound over 117, if I was 118, I would go do cardio. I was just fixing. So I would just went from tormenting on one end of being overweight to tormented being underweight. And it was, and that's not balance. That's not healthy. You know, another key, and this would just be for people who battled what I battled with, is when you gorge yourself at dinner and then run off to the bathroom. I mean, that's a key hallmark that back when I was going through it, my friends and my family didn't really pick up on. Once I pointed it out to them, then they all of a sudden started connecting the dots. I'm like, yeah, we did think that was kind of odd. So those are kind of some hallmarks that are just kind of warning signs. And in particular, you know, I was hoping that by this time in my life, enough time had passed that we would see sort of a shift, a cultural shift where women weren't so fixated on that. But unfortunately, it hasn't happened. And I think part of it is like with social media, there's an even bigger lens or a perceived lens on women that they have to live up to some standard that is just completely unrealistic. You know, you can't live up to a filter, and we're not supposed to.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

Yeah. And it just needs to, we need we need to shift our mindset to you know, strong versus skinny. Yes. We need to be strong. We need to start building strong bones in our 30s, and we need to continue to maintain muscle. Yes. And we because we are going to need that when we get into the uh the golden year, so to speak, you know, and it really does dictate the quality of life you're gonna have. If your bones and your muscles are not strong, then you know, I saw it in nursing seeing people in the hospital, women breaking hips and bones, and a lot of it could have been prevented if they had laid down those healthy habits in their earlier years.

SPEAKER_02 15:58

Absolutely. And you brought up a really good point, which is skinny. And, you know, one thing that we're seeing a lot of prevalence of is what you call skinny fat. Yes, where you have right, so you have you have women and girls who within the BMI range of the height weight ratio, they're they're still, you know, so they may be five eight and weigh 140 pounds and so be skinny, but their body fat is 35%. Yeah, have no muscle, it's just all fat. Yeah. Versus someone who, let's say, is 5'4 and let's say is 130 pounds, which for that height it would be kind of overweight, but then has an 18% body fat. Well, then that means that person's solid muscle. Yeah. I'm really trying to what that's always what I've tried to do is get people to be fixated on the correct number, which is more the body fat lean muscle ratio, instead of fixated on, you know, the what the total number on the scale is. And I think a lot of women just get fixated on that, yeah. More so than men, you know, men kind of go more with, oh, my bicep looks this big or something like that. Yeah. But that's how you tell is when they're just fixated on a number.

SPEAKER_01 17:14

Yeah. And so we've definitely seen some of that kind of fixation on unhealthy behavior surrounding food and weight in the area of sports. How do weight-focused sports increase unhealthy behavior and what would that look like? And I especially I'm thinking of like MMA, yeah, gymnasts, ballet, figure skating. How do those sports increase unhealthy behavior?

SPEAKER_02 17:41

Well, I think there are a couple of, I was thinking about those categories because you do find that the emphasis on weight and how you look and the fixation. You also see kind of more of a prevalence of eating disorders, even if it doesn't necessarily fall under the category of maybe anorexia bulimia. Disorder just means it's disordered eating, disordered thinking. You know, when you when your mind is just completely fixated on what your macro is and what you're having this much fat or this many carbohydrates and all of that, instead of, well, is it just a well-balanced meal? And so with like your your ballerinas, your gymnasts, those typically you'll see more of a manifestation of the calorie restriction, right? They they really focus on the lower body fat. And so that's where you're gonna, you tend to see a lot of anorexia and bulimia in those two in particular, same with figure skating, because it's very visual. You have to look a certain way, you can't have too much body fat, and that industry has sort of cultivated that mindset. Yeah, you know, there's some that have broken the norms, but for the most part, they want the small petite, super, super thin, right? In your competitive, your combat or your weight class oriented sports, such as you know, wrestling, boxing, MMA, jujitsu, where it's more a weight classification. What concerns me the most is what happens during that cut phase. That's where you start seeing the real abnormalities. Um, and I think a lot of that has to do with what their off-season weight is. And so that was one of the things that I tried really hard to culturally change at JW was how the fighters and the athletes looked at their off-season weight so that it would stop the massive, you know, spikes of blowing up 30, 40, 50 pounds, some cases. Yes. Really instead finding more of an equilibrium and a normal balance. And so if they could stay within 10% of their fight weight off season, then it makes cutting the weight down a lot less traumatic. It's still not healthy. The weight cutting process is just not healthy, but you can mitigate a lot of the damage by being very structured and strategic in how you go about that. And so I think to your question, when we're talking about those combat sports or the weight class-oriented sports, I did not personally see a lot that I kind of got red flags of, oh, I think this person is, you know, bulimic or anorexic. I think it was more not as much discipline off-season. They were kind of tracked to, well, I'm just gonna for camp be very restricted and sometimes too restricted, which then completely slowed down the weight loss problem. I remember that.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Yeah. How many athletes did we encounter that would train four classes or four hours a day plus and have maybe one meal? Oh, all the time. And then they couldn't figure out why they weren't losing weight.

SPEAKER_02 20:49

Or they why they just weren't doing very well. And that was one of the things that you know, I would constantly you know talk with Link about is like, okay, well, how are they doing? I'm doing striking. Like, what are you seeing? Because I need to know where we need to modify this, and that kind of lends to well, what's the importance of nutrition, you know, from a performance standpoint?

SPEAKER_01 21:08

And even long term, what does that look like when they're done fighting or done competing or done you know as a gymnast? What does that do to their body years later?

SPEAKER_02 21:18

How many people that we encountered where the women in particular had some hormone issues because of the massive caloric restriction? And you know, the body is resilient. I mean, it really is. And the body can over time can self-correct, but it does take time. And, you know, the massive spiking up and down with the cutting is just not healthy, and particularly as you get older, you know, it's one thing in your 20s. Start getting in your 30s, it's not nearly as resilient. And then, of course, when you get in your 40s, it's really not resilient. And you'll you know, you'll see that in everyday public with women who just go on restricted.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

Diets and then and and I would even venture to say that even with women, in particular to combat sports, you know, they were using some of the same weight cutting techniques and tricks that the guys were using. And we have different bodies, completely different bodies. You know, we don't respond the same and it impacts us differently. So I would even say there's that gender piece, right? Where the that that factors in.

SPEAKER_02 22:23

We have different hormones and we and we have, you know, the we're supposed to have a higher level of body fat. There's certain reasons why God put the body fat on us at a higher, you know, percentage. I mean, we're not supposed to have 43% body fat, but we're not supposed to have four either. Right.

SPEAKER_01 22:39

Yeah, that makes sense. So how would you explain the difference? You know, if someone out there is listening and they're like, you know, I want to be active, I want to pursue or get to a different level in my sport. Can you explain the difference between pursuing performance and pursuing thinness?

SPEAKER_02 22:57

I think pursuing thinness is really, in many cases, pursuing a false image, right? Because so much of what determines what we think is thin enough is society. It's this media, false media narrative of what they, whoever they is, thinks we should look like. And it's completely unattainable. And the reason I say it's unattainable is because they keep moving the goalpost. You know, one year you have to look like this. The next year you have to look something completely different. The next year you're back to where you should. I mean, it's just all over the place. And so when you're fixated, when thinness is your only marker, that doesn't translate into being healthy. I mean, you can just look at the whole GLP one craze right now, which would be a whole nother podcast for us to get on. Right. But that's an example. You know, we saw that back, I think it was what, in the the late 80s with Fen Fen, right? You it's it's the same, it's the same cycle. Whereas performance, when athletes and even regular people like you and me, when we suddenly start shifting our mindset to performance, and performance can be from an athletic perspective, particularly if you're an athlete, or for you and me, it's like, hey, I just want to be healthy. I want to be able to run three miles without throwing up. I want to be able to do a push-up. I want to be able to pull my body weight up when I need to. Then you start looking at nutrition in the core of what it's meant to be, which is to sustain our body. You're getting the nutrients in so that you build a strong, healthy body. And when that is your focus, then suddenly the canvas becomes really wide. Because now what you start looking at is, well, is this gonna help my body? Okay, great. Then I'm gonna start incorporating that more into my overall diet. Is this gonna help my body? No, actually, it's not. It's gonna impede my sleep, it's gonna impede my function, it's gonna make me too edgy or whatever it is. Then it makes it easier to say, you know what, I'm I'm not gonna do that because I'm more focused on the bigger goal, which is to be strong, to be healthy. For an athlete, you want to make sure that you're having healthy foods because if you're training two, three, four times a day, you need it. And especially with MMA, in particular the combat sports, you and I talked about this all the time. You can't afford to be off because if you're off, you're gonna get hit. Yeah, and then we then we have brain trauma that we got to deal with. We've got inflammation and all of these other things, and there's certain sports that just require a lot more recovery. And recovery from MMA or boxing is vastly different than recovery from playing tennis, right?

SPEAKER_01 25:38

And especially with the dehydration component, right? If the brain is de in a dehydrated state and they're getting hit, what is that doing to their to their brain? Right.

SPEAKER_02 25:49

And so that's where nutrition is critical. I mean, you have to look at that and make sure that you are getting the adequate nutrients in to help the body recover, to help the body recuperate and regenerate.

SPEAKER_01 26:03

Yeah. Just wrapping up, I did want to ask this just for the average, you know, moms, super busy moms, and they're thinking about their health. They're thinking about the health of their husband, they're thinking about the health of their kids, because we do have a large amount of children with obesity issues. They're on their tablets all the time and they're not moving their bodies. But what advice could you give just like a busy mom? They know they need to make changes. What can they do with limited time? They don't have a ton of time in the evening to make a superb healthy meal. What are some things they can do?

SPEAKER_02 26:41

The biggest thing they can do is to purchase and eat as much clean food as they can. And if they don't have a grocery store where you're gonna get farm to table right out of someone's backyard greens, then get frozen vegetables that are flash frozen. You really want to stay away from the overprocessed foods that come in a box or a package. And food prep is probably the best thing that someone can do who has limited time. People say, Well, I don't have a lot of time and I don't want to eat the same things. But the truth of the matter is, is most Americans that eat out, they only go to five different places, right? They eat the same thing. It's just they'll have pizza one night, they'll have hamburgers another night, they'll have wings the other, you know. So they pretty much have a rotation of about maybe five to seven foods that they eat, taco Tuesday or whatever. Right. And so what you need to start incorporating is just more healthy foods and cooking it, like just throw a bunch of chicken in and just bake some shredded chicken so that you have it so that it's it's easy to grab and go. That one thing you do have to be mindful of, particularly if you're a mom and you have kids and a family, is what is your time? Because it has to be doable. You have to find the rhythm for you and your family and figure out how I can best create healthy nutritional meals for my family and have it on hand when I'm all over the place and we're going to a car and we're going to, you know, five different sporting events and shopping and work and all of these things. So having healthy snacks in a car, you know, having fruit, having nuts, things that don't spoil this. You can just kind of grab and go.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

Yeah, even meal prepping if you can on a on a weekend, or or like you said, just planning. You have to plan. Because if you don't plan, you're gonna just resort to Wingstop or McDonald's or whatever happens to be the fast food.

SPEAKER_02 28:39

No, it's true. It's true. You do have to plan, and really to that point, a lot of people already plan. They plan from the standpoint of, oh, well, I don't have anything, so I can just swing by Chick-fil-A because there's a Chick-fil-A on the way. So they're they've already actually mealed, you know, they already planned it out. Good point. And so when you start doing things like just having a bunch of almonds in your console in your car or some healthy protein bars, those are things that if you're hungry or you you forget to pack something, you can just grab it and take it out. And now a lot of grocery stores are doing food prep. You can very inexpensively, where they already have shredded chicken or they already have you know vegetables or salads that you just you know throw in a bucket and go.

SPEAKER_01 29:25

Yeah, I've seen, yeah, we do that once in a while, like in chicken Caesar salad or something, or toss salad from sprouts, you know, they've got it right there, ready to go. Yeah. Well, thank you. This has been really helpful. And I I wish we could almost do a whole nother hour just talking about all this stuff. It's to me, it's just it's life-changing. It turned my health around because I was struggling with autoimmune disease, chronic disease was kind of setting in motion in my life several years ago, and food, nutrition, exercise. That's all, I mean, I've always been active, but it was really the food that turned my life around and getting the right supplements in at the right time. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so much. We'll have to do a part two. Absolutely. All right, well, you take care.
