11. Ancestral Knowdlege & Intuitive Eating
Our Indigenous knowledge ancestral wisdom has been front and center in healing our relationship with food and connection to our bodies and Mother Earth. Our ancestral knowledge and wisdom IS intuitive, has always been and will always be. Unfortunately, we live in a society where Indigenous knowledge is not validated and honored and often is questioned and challenged. Western knowledge, specifically scientific evidence and evidence based frameworks become the norm, the standard to which everything else is measured. This is problematic for many reasons.
