My Healing Era
My Healing Era is a therapy podcast for women who want to break free from the toxic cycles that are keeping them stuck, and end the "not good enough" narrative in their head.
This podcast covers unfiltered conversations around topics like healing from dieting, hustle culture, mental health, body image, nervous system regulation, stress, food freedom... and so much more! We'll also get right down to the nitty gritty on which wellness trends to stay clear of, and what actually works and what doesn't.
And don't worry, I'm a therapist who gets it. I'm a recovered chronic dieter, anxiety warrior, and workaholic, and now I help women just like you heal from diet culture & hustle culture!

Weight loss Surgeries, the Ozempic Era + Food Noise: Sitting Down with R.D. Kirsten Ackerman
You've heard about weight loss surgeries and Ozempic, but is it really the magic cure for permanent weight loss? In this episode Savana sits down with a former weight loss surgery dietitian, Kirsten Ackerman, who tells us everything we need to know about weight loss surgeries and the ozempic era.
R.D. Kirsten Ackerman brings forward an interesting perspective as a former weight loss surgery dietitian who did a complete 180, and is now anti diet and working as an Intuitive Eating Dietitian. She tells us exactly why weight loss surgeries and ozempic may not be the "cure all" for those in bigger bodies like we've been promised, and we talk all things food noise (AKA the reason why you have food noise)
In this episode we cover:
- what a weight loss surgery procedure looks like and the biological reason they're not always effective long-term
- the potential effects of weight loss surgery on mental health
- risks and side effects of weight loss surgery that are often glossed over
- how ozempic actually works
- what it actually means when you experience food noise
- the truth about metabolism and weight loss plateaus when taking ozempic or post weight loss surgery
