65: Feeding Compassion: Exploring Intuitive Eating in Nursing-Tiffany North, BSN, RN, INC, Certified Intuitive Eating Professional Highlights

 "Intuitive eating is really about letting go of shoulds around food, letting go of this food is good, this food is bad, and instead, looking at food from a body attunement lens. So how does this food feel for me in my body? How does eating in this way feel for me and my body? What are the underlying needs associated with various body signals?"  ~Tiffany North, BSN, RN, INC, Certified Intuitive Eating Professional
