Ever wonder why some people can leave half a cookie untouched while others can't stop thinking about it? That difference isn't just willpower—it's about the relationship we've built with food, and the good news is that relationship can change.
Our conversation dives deep into the journey from disordered eating to food freedom. We explore how the "noise" around food—those constant thoughts and cravings—can transform from "two megaphones on your ears" to simply "an annoying roommate you need to knock on the wall to quiet down." This shift doesn't come from more restriction or perfect eating, but from developing awareness about how food actually makes your body feel.
One of the most powerful concepts we discuss is approaching food choices not by asking "How many calories does this have?" but rather "How will I feel after eating this?" This simple reframing helps guide natural moderation without rigid rules. We also challenge the misconception that intuitive eating means eating whatever you want—it's actually a skill that must be developed through practice, like learning to fly a plane.
The conversation tackles how research about "dangerous" foods often gets misinterpreted, creating unnecessary fear and stress that might be worse for us than the foods themselves. We break down how statistics about diet soda, processed meats, and other villainized foods often lack context, leading to confusion rather than clarity.
Ready to develop a healthier relationship with food? Listen now to discover why sustainable change comes when weight loss becomes the side effect, not the main goal. Your relationship with food doesn't have to be a lifelong struggle—it can be a source of joy and nourishment when approached with mindfulness and moderation.
