On this episode, I am delighted to be joined by the incredible Aoife McMahon, an Irish Registered Dietitian Specialising in food and body image healing.
Aoife is the founder and CEO of the Centre for Liberating Nutrition. When Aoife graduated with a Bachelor’s Honours of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, she knew that traditional approaches to ‘treating’ weight did not sit well with her. She knew from the start that she needed to meet her clients somewhere in the middle and started listening to the day-to-day lives of her clients to help them to truly heal their relationship with food and their body.
In this episode, Aoife and I discuss how you deserve more than a life of diets and food restriction and dive into the truth behind sugar addiction.
In this episode, we talk about:
The research behind sugar addiction and find out - are we really addicted to sugar?
Aoife shares her thoughts on comparing sugar to other addictive substances.
The signs of restriction and how you might recognize these food restrictions in your own life.
Leaning into compassion and how we need to focus more on health behaviors rather than a simple outcome measure such as weight.
Why health is subjective and how that ties into intuitive eating.
In the words of one of my wonderful clients “My body is the least interesting things about me”
