Today we’re going to explore a topic that is near and dear to my heart: our relationship with food. For many of us, if it were a Facebook relationship status, it would say, “It’s Complicated.” 

As many of you know, I love food, I think nutrition is kind of cool, and I hate to cook. When I first started my career as a dietitian, I was overly focused on trying to help people eat what I thought was the “right” way (I’m cringing to admit this), and I quickly saw that it wasn’t working. I was simultaneously working on healing my own relationship with food, and I started to become fascinated by the role that food plays in our lives. 

My relationship with food has evolved over time to be much more chill, relaxed and enjoyable. I no longer stress about it constantly. But this episode isn’t just about me. It’s about all of us. We all have a relationship with food, and it’s something that tends to be deeply intertwined with our body image and self-esteem, so it makes sense that this gets so messy and complicated. 

Whether you’re a foodie or someone who has struggled with an eating disorder or disordered eating, or if you’re trying to step away from dieting, there’s something in this episode for everyone. 

Go ahead and grab a snack (or not if you aren’t hungry), and hit play to listen. Cheers to healing your relationship with food!
