Jessica Flanagin carries a unique perspective on food and nutrition, as she is both a clinical nutritionist who works with people with auto-immune conditions in the pursuit of physical healing, while also being a spiritual coach who emphasizes compassion and healing of the emotional self.

We discuss the nuance, the gray area, and the myriad of considerations at play inside the world of eating, from developing orthorexia as a result of AIP, the ways anti-diet culture mirrors diet culture, to why we have such a hard time trusting our intuition on how to take care of ourselves, and so much more.

Jessica is a Clinical Nutritionist, Co-Founder of The Institute of Spiritual Coaching and is author of the first mind-body book about Autoimmune Diseas, The Loving Diet. She has spent the last six years of her clinical nutrition practice focusing on working with clients in Autoimmune Paleo, but has since moved on to more advanced functional medicine based gut restoration applications to remove restriction from her client’s protocols and work with clients struggling with disordered eating with her program Transformational EatingTM.
