28 SEP 2024 · OUTWEIGH: In this final episode of the Outweigh Q&A series, we’re diving into a listener question about Orthorexia. While pretty much everyone knows what an Eating Disorder is, most have never even heard of this thing called Disordered Eating. An even lesser known (and talked about) form of Disordered Eating is something called Orthorexia.
Orthorexia is when someone takes their health to an extreme, and they inhabit an excessive preoccupation or obsession with eating healthy food. According to The National Eating Disorders Association Orthorexia entails: Obsessive focus on food choices, food regarded primarily as source of health rather than pleasure; distress or disgust when in proximity to prohibited foods; periodic shifts in dietary beliefs; moral judgment of others based on their dietary choices; body image distortion; persistent belief that dietary practices are health-promoting despite evidence of experiencing malnutrition...and the list goes on, and on, and on.
And because of all of the misinformation that's being thrown at us, Orthorexia is spreading like a wildfire -- ESPECIALLY in the female population. The EFFECT of all of this? An extremely DISORDERED relationship with food. And if you're like most women out there, you've been exposed to the 'Dark Side' of the health industry for a very long time, and it's super important that you know what to look out for to make sure that YOUR health journey....stays....healthy!
Listen in to an interview with Leanne and Laura Lea Bryant where they unpack this super-important topic (and Laura Lea shares her personal experiences....and her experience as an influencer in the health and wellness world).

24 AUG 2024 · OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 6 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the game plan for success—how to carve out your own winning strategy, while also addressing a crucial piece of the puzzle: earning back your own trust. You see, even if you had the perfect plan and the most ideal steps laid out, what good would it do if you couldn’t trust yourself to follow through? That’s why we dive deep into earning back your own trust so you can live in alignment and integrity WHILE you go after your health goals. We often think the alternative to dieting is losing control, but the true alternative is freedom—freedom to nourish your body and soul, to wave the white flag, and declare peace. This episode is about shifting from the mindset of restriction and "repair" to one of healing and "care". We’ll explore how to truly partner with your body and align your mind and heart to create a sustainable, peaceful life. We’ll also tackle those sneaky “Never-Gonna” inner voices that sabotage your success before you even begin. Together, we’ll reframe your approach so that you can build self-trust, stop the self-sabotage, and finally play a game that’s designed for you to win.

17 AUG 2024 · OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 5 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts. This week we’re diving deep into a crucial part of the food and body image conversation—what Leanne likes to call your “body brain.” If you’ve been following along, you know we’ve been exploring how faith intersects with our struggles around food and self image. Today, we’re turning our focus to the physical side of things, and how your body (and your perception of it) are deeply intertwined.
We’ll be looking at this from both a nervous system and physiological perspective, but we can’t ignore the importance of how you view your body and your relationship with it.
This episode isn’t about offering a quick fix; it’s about helping you understand the deeper layers that contribute to your struggles. Leanne also shares her personal journey of overcoming her own body image (and chronic pain) battles, so you can see that real, lasting change is possible...but it starts with breaking the chains of your own harsh self-criticism, guilt, and shame. The hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll feel empowered to start dismantling your own beliefs and step into a new story about your body. Remember, this isn’t just about what you weigh or how you look—it’s about freeing yourself from the heavy burden of judgment and stepping into a place of peace and self-compassion.

10 AUG 2024 · OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 4 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.
If you’ve been struggling with disordered eating patterns, restrictive diets, or feeling chained to unhealthy eating habits, this conversation is for you. We talk about how inviting God into your journey can help break those chains, allowing you to step into a new identity rooted in peace, love, and TRUE freedom.
We explore the concept of the "food brain" and how it’s wired to seek comfort and connection through unhealthy coping mechanisms like overeating, mindless scrolling, or other habits that distract from what your soul truly needs.
This episode isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level solutions; it's about understanding the root of your struggles and learning to meet them with compassion, solution-focused care, and faith.
If you’re ready to shift your focus from fighting with your body to truly healing your relationship with food, this conversation will guide you toward that transformation, with God right by your side.

3 AUG 2024 · OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 3 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.
Last week, we explored the big picture of this conversation, and this week we narrow the focus to the self-image and identity piece of this food and body puzzle. We discuss the necessity of stepping into a new version of yourself if you really want to achieve true health and freedom in your relationship with food and your body.
We talk about WHY transforming your self-image is crucial on a neuroscience level, and how it's not about what you eat-- but who you truly believe yourself to be.
Only this time around, you're invited to address the roots of your identity and self-image in a way that aligns with God's view of yourself, instead of worldly and societal standards.
And of course, we get a little 'geeky' and explore the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), and its significant role in self-perception, emotional and physical pain, and your coping mechanisms, AND how this is particularly important for women, whose ACCs are more active than men's. Throughout the episode, you'll hear scripture AND evidence-based research that supports the transformative power of faith.
Dive on in to learn how integrating faith and science can lead to building YOUR new identity, free from the burdens of shame and self-rejection, and discover what it truly means to see yourself as God sees you.

27 JUL 2024 · OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 2 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts. Today, we're diving deep into the intersection of faith, science, food, and body image. This is the big picture conversation -- where these themes overlap, so you can simply understand this connection between neuroscience and faith...and how it can lead to meaningful, lasting transformation in our lives. Leanne shares (for her) how embracing this dialogue meant confronting her skeptical, science-driven mindset and inviting a God-centered perspective into areas she was previously tackling through her own might, and how this approach completed her story and aligned with her fascination with the brain and nervous system. She addresses topics like: Why do our brains play tricks on us? Why do we do what we do? Why can't we seem to shake life-long habits? With references to biblical scripture and modern neuroscience studies, Leanne highlights the transformative power of aligning your thoughts with a higher spiritual perspective. And of course you are invited to invite God into the conversation, recognizing that true transformation involves cultivating a new identity rooted in faith and understanding the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit...and self-image.
