The Scale is LYING to You (& Destroying Your Self-Worth) with Dr. Rachel Goldman

The Scale is LYING to You (& Destroying Your Self-Worth) with Dr. Rachel Goldman


What if the biggest obstacle to better health isn't your diet and instead it's the relationship you've built with your body?


In this conversation, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman to unpack why so many women struggle with body image, emotional eating, food noise, and self-worth, especially during midlife.


We explore why lasting health isn't built through shame or punishment. It's built through curiosity, compassion, and learning to work with your body instead of constantly fighting against it.

We also discuss the psychology behind food noise, body neutrality, GLP-1 medications, menopause, emotional eating, and why your relationship with yourself influences every health decision you make.


If you've ever felt like your body has betrayed you, this episode offers a different perspective.


In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why body image goes far beyond what you see in the mirror
  • The difference between body positivity and body neutrality
  • Why food noise develops and how to begin quieting it naturally
  • How emotional eating becomes a learned coping strategy
  • Why your self-worth should never depend on the number on the scale
  • How menopause changes the emotional relationship women have with their bodies
  • Why slowing down at meals changes more than digestion
