S09E16 - What It Really Takes to Change How We Eat with Alexandra Cerone
Today’s episode addresses something that has become central to my practice, and is at the heart of my own journey. We don’t have a shortage of information in today’s day and age. The missing key is to translate insight into consistent action, and overcome resistance into creating better habits. The central challenge in nutrition is not simply knowing what to do. It is turning knowledge and insight into behavior that can hold under stress, fatigue, and change. My guest has been developing a more effective approach to nutrition care by addressing the biological, behavioral, emotional, and environmental factors that shape eating—and helping people build strategies realistic enough to sustain. Therapy, mindfulness, spiritual practice, major life experiences, and emerging psychedelic-assisted approaches may change how people see themselves and their behavior. Alexandra Cerone, MS, RDN, CDN, CSOWM is a Registered Dietitian, Board-Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management, and founder of Alendryx Metabolic Health. She specializes in behavioral, stress- and trauma-informed nutrition, helping adults address repeated dieting, emotional eating, disrupted eating patterns, and the gap between understanding nutrition and applying it consistently. Before becoming a dietitian, Alexandra earned a Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology, which informs her attention to learning, communication, self-talk, and behavior change. Her approach also draws from mindfulness training, clinical experience supporting people through cancer and other complex health conditions, and an article she authored on psychedelic-assisted therapy and disordered eating behaviors.
