The Perinatal Podcast, Ep. 110 – Aging Body Liberation

💫Episode 110 of The Perinatal Podcast is live now!🎧

“Sometimes, I wonder if body autonomy is real.”

On episode 110 of The Perinatal Podcast, Deb Benfield and I discuss curiosity, compassion, and levity in the aging experience. Deb digs deep into the science behind why our bodies are not meant to lose weight, explores the balance of accountability and self-compassion, and she gives me some of the most fantastic visualizations I have never heard and most definitely will carry on with me.

Flap flap flap glide, y’all.

Deb Benfield is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist with over 40 years of experience helping people heal their relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. She’s the author of Unapologetic Aging, out in December 2025, and a passionate advocate for body liberation and anti-ageism.

Deb’s work centers vitality—not restriction—and supports women in midlife and beyond in feeling confident, comfortable, and at home in their bodies. She helps her clients break free from diet culture and ageist messaging, so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.
