No more labeling foods as bad. When you allow yourself to eat anything, you are far less likely to feel guilty or to binge. Restriction creates mental hunger. Mental hunger creates the binge. The binge creates the guilt that starts it over again. Make smart choices and indulge in moderation. Both are allowed to be true.

✨ The full ten principles are on my blog: https://www.revivemednova.com/whats-intuitive-eating-and-is-it-right-for-you/

A common misconception is that being overweight comes from poor habits or laziness. Anyone who has tried fad diets will tell you that is not true.

Obesity is a chronic disease. Body weight is defended by hormonal systems that push back when it drops. That is why it returns, and it is not a moral failing.

Our genes are not our destiny. But pretending they are not involved has never helped anyone.

💜Had a wonderful morning volunteering at Women Giving Back- and incredible organization in Northern Virginia that supports women and children in crisis to provide quality clothing at no cost. By helping women find the perfect outfit for a job interview or an important upcoming event, Women Giving Back helps to increase self-esteem and resiliency as women strive to move forward in life.

Willpower is a muscle. It tires easily, which is why relying on it drains everything else in your life.We are wired for pleasure. Nobody looks forward to giving things up. A plan built on forcing yourself is built against your own biology.

So start with one question: is this something you think you should do, or something you want to do? ✨ Read the full blog post on my website: https://www.revivemednova.com/how-to-reconnect-with-your-motivation/

😴Sleep is the most undervalued time of our day-and yet it has a significant impact on our weight health, heart health, mental health, and muscle recovery. Aim to get 7-9 consistent hours of sleep each night.

Try these tips and if you’re still not sleeping well, reach out to your doctor.

🌸💕👩🏻‍⚕️I love when my patients realize that improving your health doesn’t mean you should feel deprived, fatigued, or overly restricted. Diet culture has distorted what fueling our bodies properly looks like. Having a doctor on your side who encourages you to find balance and feel good about the journey you’re on can be life changing.

😎As summer winds down and routine becomes more of the norm, have you taken time to plan out how to best care for yourself?

Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. And self-care doesn’t mean you’re selfish-it means you’re putting on your mask first so you can help those around you do the same.

Take a few minutes this weekend to figure out things that help you thrive and how you can implement them into your schedule. Remember, progress, not perfection! 🌸

BMI is useful—but it is NOT the whole story. ⚖️
Today’s American College of Cardiology article highlights an important point: where we carry fat may matter more for cardiovascular risk than BMI alone. ❤️

Waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio can provide important information that BMI may miss. 📏

As an obesity medicine specialist, this is exactly why I don’t want us to reduce metabolic health to a number on a scale.

Two people can have the same BMI—and very different amounts and distribution of body fat, muscle mass, and visceral fat. 🧬💪

The better question isn’t simply, “What is your BMI?”

It’s: “What is your overall cardiometabolic health, and where is the excess adiposity located?” ❤️‍🔥

That means looking at the whole picture:
📏 Waist circumference- The goal for women is less than 35 inches and goal for men is less than 40 inches
💪 Body composition
🩸 Blood pressure
🧪 Glucose & lipids
🏃 Fitness & physical activity
😴 Sleep
❤️ Overall cardiovascular risk

BMI can start the conversation. It shouldn’t end it.
