Hey there fellow Voice Finder,

Quick recap on my No Diet Monday live. It was my 50th birthday (yes, I am a stuburn Taurus) and it felt magical to pop on live to celebrate.

• Free PCOS nutrition class with Nikki at Diabetes Digital. Sign up here (it begins at noon EDT today).

• I love how this interview with

  Tomesha Campbell
  from Enhance Black Women’s Health turned out:

  Your Body Is Not the Problem: Reclaiming Health Beyond Diet Culture

• I wish I never was taught—directly or indirectly—to fear aging. I feel great at 50. My 40s, especially my early 40s, were tough yet I am finding this half century mark to feel great so far. I have my elder mentors to thank and I encourage you to find yours! Keep your eye out for my mentor’s book coming out in December. Deb Benfield’s Unapologetic Aging brings the topic of getting old to the body liberation space. You can pre-order here.

• Look for the Find Your Food Voice book discussion questions in our new Voice Finder chat space within the Substack app. I hope that provides a cozy space to unpack the questions. Look for Chapter 2 questions this Friday.

• Are you coming off a GLP-1 like Ozempic soon or worry about it? I share a Dear Food letter from a listener who has to come off one. In this live above, I share more on the how—how to prepare, intervene, and provide what you need as your body gets used to life again without this medication. You can find the whole episode here:

What’s coming up?

I have my hands in a bit of fun that’s just around the corner including:

• Do we really need to be able to do 11 push ups? From that viral Mel Robbins video, I was interviewed for a Vox essay here. The FYFV team and I are recording an episode on this and all things Mel Robbins. Have an opinion? Let us know in comments.

• I am writing on PCOS and Eating Disorders for

  Nope, That's Not Normal
  🎉

• I am writing an essay on “You were told to cut out carbs, now what?” for the Project Heal blog.

• New podcast episodes on ADHD, binge eating, insulin resistance, and more. What topics do you want covered or guests do you want to hear from? Let me know here.

That’s all for now! Thank you for celebrating my 50th with me! I will be back in your inbox on Friday for FYFV Chapter 2 discussion questions.

Warmly,

Julie
