Episode Summary:

This is a candid discussion between two therapists, Destiny Davis and Victoria Rodriguez, about their personal experiences with breakfast, disordered eating, and navigating food choices while living with chronic illnesses. They discuss how their relationships with food have evolved from restrictive eating patterns and diet culture influences to more balanced, intuitive approaches. Both share their struggles with food aversions, learning to listen to their bodies, and finding "safe foods" that work for them. They offer practical breakfast suggestions while emphasizing that what works for one person may not work for another. The conversation touches on cultural aspects of food, the complexity of making food choices with chronic illnesses, and the importance of breaking free from rigid food rules.
