Picture this - you’re stuck in a vicious cycle of diets, chasing an unrealistic image of 'perfection' planted by society and amplified by social media.  Our guest today, Alana Van Der Sluys, knows all too well about this harmful cycle and its repercussions. Alana bravely shares her personal journey from dieting to an eating disorder and the societal pressures that propelled her down this path.

We also discuss the concept of intuitive eating and its role in sustainable weight loss. Breaking away from the unhealthy cycle of yo-yo dieting, we discuss the principle of honoring hunger, fullness, and cravings while considering nutritional needs. In a world where diets are often unsustainable, we dive into the potential health risks of weight cycling, and how you can take back the power from forbidden foods. Join us on this empowering journey of healing, and discover a more balanced, joyful approach to health and wellness.
