It's estimated that over 60% of people who struggle with weight also struggle with emotional eating... why aren't we acknowledging this?

Well, we don't seem to have a very good strategy to fix it.
The thing is... not all emotional eating is created equal.

There's bad emotional eating.
And there's good emotional eating.

The bad kind comes from a negative emotional reaction.
The good kind is centered around a positive emotional experience.

One is visceral.
One is epicurean.

One is mindless.
One is mindful.

If we could allow ourselves to experience the good kind, we'd have a lot more resilience built up against the bad kind.

If we could slow down and be present to our food and to each other, we would feel the aliveness and expression of nutrition.

Research shows people have more self control and make better food choices when they engage with sensory and social experiences around food.

We're literally trying to force something that happens naturally when we... live.

This philosophy is completely contrarian to how we think about eating pleasure and it has the power to set us free and inspire new ways of being.

We're having this big conversation on Saturday in my new, free masterclass: The Pleasure Lever

I’ve been experimenting with being 100% vegan this week. Typically I eat plant-forward … mostly plants, a little bit of meat and fish. After 5 days, I feel freaking incredible and I don’t think I’ll be able to go back!

I haven’t had dinner or an afternoon snack yet and I’m already at 150% of my daily iron requirement, 493% B12, and 86% daily fiber. Not pictured: I’ve already hit all of my essential amino acid targets. I’ve already hit 211% of my omega-3 target and 65% of my omega-6 target.

I went to a cycle class this morning… hadn’t cycled in years… kept pace nicely/felt great during and after.

The idea that we can’t get what we need from plant based diets is BS… you just need to know what you’re doing.

Send me a DM if you want to learn how to transition to a plant-forward or plant-based diet and eat in the top 1%. 🔥🌎🌱💚

Nutrition is about so much more than calories and macronutrients. It's about synergy. There is so much left to discover when it comes to nutritional science and metabolism. But, two things are abundantly clear.⁠
⁠
1. Eat more vegetables ⁠
2. Eat more unprocessed foods and less processed foods⁠
⁠
The study I presented here by Kevin Hall et al. shows that when you are left to your own devices, you will eat more on a diet that is rich in ultra processed foods than you will on a diet that is rich in unprocessed foods. You will gain weight on a diet rich in ultra processed foods and you will lose weight on a less processed diet. ⁠
⁠
This is your fastest and most sustainable path to not only losing weight with PCOS, but reversing your symptoms and putting your disease into REMISSION. I like to think smarter, not harder, when it comes to achieving metabolic health and experiencing reproductive benefits and mental health improvements as a result. ⁠
⁠
In my programs, we never count calories and we focus on quality first. 95% of participants lose 5-10% of their body weight in 12 weeks or less. Doesn't it sound DOABLE to lose weight just by focusing on eating good quality food? "But what do I eat?" In REMISSION, I'm giving you grocery lists, meal templates, recipes and meal plans (tailored to your goals and anthropometrics). There's nothing left to do... but implement. The time is now. Presale pricing ends Tuesday. Link in bio.⁠

This is a fun reminder that self care isn't "too much" - it's essential. We have to fill our own cups before we can fill others'. Self care isn't something you save for your birthday... it's a DAILY practice. It's as simple as remembering to do things that bring you the warm and fuzzies because this means you're experiencing happiness. We should have moments of happiness every single day.⁠
⁠
Self love is the foundation of health. It's the foundation of courage. It's the foundation of vulnerability. Do something just for you today - you deserve it.⁠

Weight loss is part of PCOS treatment... for most women. This does not mean you need to make yourself miserable or hate your body. This does not mean you need to reach a "normal" BMI. This is about metabolically meaningful weight loss with the purpose of lowering androgen levels, targeting insulin resistance and addressing inflammation. We don't want weight loss at the expense of mental health. We don't want weight loss from crash diets or restrictive ways of eating. ⁠
⁠
2.5-10% weight loss through following an inclusive, Mediterranean style of eating and living can change your life. ⁠
⁠
I got this email from a past client today after delivering a microclass in my facebook group on : obesity. I was nervous before the talk because the word carries so much trauma with it. But, it's not the word we need to direct our anger to - it's the experiences in society. ⁠
⁠
Obesity is a chronic disease without a cure. Obesity is not your fault. There are many treatments available for obesity and unfortunately a tiny percentage of eligible people receive these treatments. Stigmatizing the word obesity is stigmatizing obesity research and medicine which... is a travesty. ⁠
⁠
We can't talk about PCOS without talking about the other chronic disease that usually accompanies it, obesity. You deserve to know it all. ⁠
⁠
Right now, we have a PCOS weight loss bundle on sale. This is a self-paced bundle of my beginners, intermediate and advanced weight loss programs. You can take things on your own timeline over the holiday season. You have lifetime access to all trainings and resources. See highlights tab for details or send me a DM. Xx. ⁠

Bruno says, "It looks like rain"⁠
Why did he tell us?⁠
In doing so, he floods my brain⁠
⁠
Okay, so it's one of the most exciting times of the year because tells us what our most listened to songs were. I was surprised-ish to see how much I listened to the Encanto soundtrack! lol. It could be my 4 year old daughter or it could be that this soundtrack slaps. ⁠
⁠
If you haven't seen Encanto... it's a movie about generational trauma and dysfunctional family dynamics. It's about carrying forward stories and patterns to protect our families at the expense of our own health and sanity. When it comes to PCOS Weight Loss... we see similarities. To do it effectively, while maintaining the integrity of our health, we have to acknowledge the word: obesity. ⁠
⁠
We have to talk about Bruno.⁠
⁠
The word obesity carries the weight of the world's weight traumas. This word can send us spiraling and cringing, but it's also kind of the key to setting us free. We have to face our fears head on and create new patterns. ⁠
⁠
Obesity needs a new narrative. It's not something that happens because you eat too much. It's a chronic disease with a complex pathophysiology and unknown etiology. We think its' a combination of environmental and genetic factors… but one thing is certain - it's not your fault. ⁠
⁠
Ignoring obesity means ignoring the incredible field of obesity medicine. This is the field that is ultimately going to find a cure for this disease. This is the field that has identified medical and surgical options to combat this disease and make it all easier. ⁠
⁠
If you're open to changing the narrative or at least learning more….⁠
join me today at 3pm EST for a FREE microclass : the truth about obesity. ⁠
⁠
Here's the link to join the community where the masterclass will be held. It will be recorded if you can't make it live:⁠

I want to tell you the story of what prompted this post. I've been working with an incredible human on PCOS management and weight loss for over a year. ⁠
⁠
She implemented a Mediterranean eating pattern and lost weight.⁠
But, it only took her so far. In the past, this was the point where nutritionists and trainers would tell her to "track more" or "try harder." But, we had a different conversation. This was the point where I said to her, have you considered seeing an endocrinologist and talking about appetite regulating medications?⁠
⁠
It took her a hot minute to work up the courage to go. But, once she did, she experienced appetite regulation unlike anything she had felt before. She no longer thought about food all the time and lost more weight. Most importantly, she added an empathetic and knowledgeable provider to her care team. Shame shed.⁠
⁠
She saw a sleep specialist to evaluate the quality of her sleep and understood the role sleep plays re: metabolic health on a new level. More shame shed.⁠
⁠
She is now exploring surgical options to promote a higher percentage of sustained weight loss, better quality of life and lower risk of obesity associated chronic disease like diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Shame shed.⁠
⁠
Today we were talking about the fact that her open-mindedness and willingness to trust and take in new information has allowed her to feel more self compassion and use the tools available to her without shame. ⁠
⁠
This is a SUCCESS story. You are not a failure if you cannot lose all the weight you want and more through nutrition + lifestyle change. Obesity has no cure and is complex - it requires a TEAM approach. There is a reality to this disease. Understanding the reality, can set you free. ⁠

Helping women achieve pregnancy with PCOS is the most fulfilling part of the work that I do. I also want to say a million times over that I empathize immensely with the pain of infertility and recognize that it's not always a linear journey. Simultaneously, I feel compelled to share the power of natural management for optimizing fertility because so many women are not given this valuable, lifechanging information.⁠
⁠
I've seen women with PCOS become pregnant 3 weeks after implementing a Mediterranean eating pattern. I've seen it happen at 6 weeks. 8 weeks. 10 weeks. 12 weeks. 4 months. 6 months. 12 months. It happens. ALL. THE. TIME. ⁠
⁠
I don't take credit for these miracles. This is a combined effort of your commitment, your care team, and... the universe. When I see the babies on my newsfeed... it makes me feel so alive and so grateful to play even a small role in their arrival. ⁠
⁠
I want you to feel the potential in you... right now. The mind's connection to the body is real and important. It sets the tone for the stage we play on. I like to play on a big stage with unlimited potential fueled by science, self-trust and surrender. ⁠
⁠
If you feel me and you desire this, join me for REMISSION. This program is the biggest stage I've ever built - for miracles, fun and lifechanging transformation. Link in bio to learn more. ⁠

This has been quite a year for women and we're demanding more. 2023 is the year of US. ⁠
⁠
The year of REMISSION, not management.⁠
The year of inclusive, fun nutrition... not restrictive b*ullsh*t diets.⁠
The year of evidence-based tools... CGM (yes please!), spending another $200 on yet another test that gets you nowhere... no thank you.⁠
The year of walking outside in the woods and breathing in the air... versus watching the calories burned slowly inch up on the treadmill.⁠
The year of evidence-based practitioners versus paying someone without credentials to prescribe you supplements and put your health at risk.⁠
The year of proud, confident, capable energy. Goodbye "PCOS is hopeless and we have no cure". ⁠
⁠
This is a mindset shift. This is also a shift towards evidence-based solutions for all women (and humans) with PCOS. I envision a world where all people with PCOS have a fighting chance at achieving REMISSION. We have the tools. We just need the movement. I've extended presale pricing for my new program: REMISSION for TODAY. Check it out - link in bio. ⁠

Hi, I’m Emily Timm! I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with extensive knowledge regarding endocrine nutrition. What is endocrine nutrition? Endocrine nutrition encompasses nutrition for conditions like: diabetes and prediabetes, Polycystic Ovarian syndrome (PCOS), infertility, adrenal disease like cushings or addisons, lipodystrophy and obesity. Yes, obesity is a chronic disease and should be treated as one! It is a disease with no cure and it is very, very difficult to lose weight and maintain weight loss. And guess what? It is not YOUR FAULT! We live in an environment that actively fights against health, so it’s important that we come at weight loss gently and in a way that makes you comfortable and sets you up for future success.

When working together, we will figure out what type of eating pattern sets you up for long-term success and design meal plans together that include foods you like. We will examine your relationship with food, physical activity, exercise, and self care. We will take into account co-morbid conditions and most importantly - your goals.
