Eat the Rules with Summer Innanen

#198: Unapologetic Eating - with Alissa Rumsey

Listen

Description

I'm interviewing Alissa Rumsey, registered dietitian, nutrition therapist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and the author of Unapologetic Eating: Make Peace with Food and Transform Your Life. We're talking about the importance of raising awareness around the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that are behind how we interact with food, why that's different from mindful eating, and what to do if you overthink food choices.

- How the concept of scarcity plays into our eating behaviors and relationship with food,
- Tips for transitioning from doubting and questioning your hunger, decisions, and experiences, to learning to trust your intuition,
