Welcome to this special series of Don’t Salt My Game celebrating the release of my new book How to Just Eat It. For the next several weeks, I’ll be posting two new episodes of the podcast (Tuesdays and Fridays) that correspond with a chapter of the book to help you take your learning further and deepen your intuitive eating practice. How To Just Eat It is out now! Episode 5 of this series will drop on Tuesday 19th Jan!

 

In today’s episode I’m talking to Nicola Haggett, a Body Trust provider and Intuitive Eating counsellor. In this episode we’re talking all about the concept of embodiment as a tool to help us feel more connected to our bodies. 

 

In this episode we talk about:

• How writing our body story can be an act of reclaiming the narrative of our bodies
• What exactly embodiment is and how we can find examples of it in our lives (babies, kids, cats!) 
• The difference between embodiment and more ‘performative’ or ‘hustle’ self-care
• How embodiment can help us feel connected to our bodies without necessarily ‘loving’ or feeling ‘positive’ about them.
• Reclaiming pleasure, appetite, autonomy and more. 
• Finding spaces that feel safe to reconnect with your body.

 

There’s also a brilliant definition of The Social Determinants of Health from Jake Gifford for your glossary on page 35/36 of HTJEI. Watch out for a whole episode of Jake later in the series.
