Whenever we sit at a table (or anywhere else) for a meal we are having a food experience. From childhood through adulthood these collective food experiences ultimately determine our relationship with food. When we receive messaging continuously from outside sources or have negative experiences with food such as feeling guilty after eating our relationship with food (and ultimately nutrition) becomes damaged.

We take some time to chat with Tanya Stricek, a behavioural health coach and holistic nutritionist whose mission is to create space for women going through one of life's biggest transitions: peri-menopause and menopause. Tanya discusses buzz words like intuitive eating, mindful eating and why emotional eating might not be as scary as originally thought. We dive into food messaging and labeling from childhood through adulthood while unraveling the magic spell that food seems to cast over us.
