Food & Life Freedom with Emma Townsin

Jeff and I discuss why intuitive eating and body acceptance messages don't always resonate with men and how we can communicate intuitive eating in a way that is better understood by men. This can help men access support and male partners can be better able to support an intuitive eating journey.

I'm back for season 2!

I'm Emma Townsin, a UK Registered Dietitian and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor. The Food & Life Freedom Podcast is back to help you explore your relationship with food and body, to overcome out-of-control eating such as binge or emotional eating and take the guilt out of food.

We are so much more complex and interesting than the diet-y messages and food rules make us out to be. When we start working with our bodies (rather than against them), we can find our food and life freedom!

I have so many interesting and knowledgable guests lined up (dietitians, therapists, personal trainers, health coaches, social workers) who all practice from a non-diet approach.

Hit follow to see the episodes as they are released weekly from the 4th October!

I speak with Ela Law, Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor about how to let go of weight loss dieting and get started with Intuitive Eating.

We explore why dieting has become about acceptance and safety rather than health, how our sense of identity fits in with becoming an intuitive eater and the most important first steps to take to become an intuitive eater.

Ela's work focuses on supporting people in healing their relationship with food and learning to accept and respect their bodies. Ela uses Intuitive Eating and Body Acceptance work as instruments to re-establish trust between us and our bodies, moving away from diet mentality towards food and body freedom.

In her work, Ela explores client's food choices and body image from a holistic perspective - taking into account the psychological, emotional and physical aspects of eating and movement. This way, clients learn to shift their attention and focus from external messages and rules to internal signals and cues, making it a sustainable way of making peace with food and their body.

Originally fro Germany, Ela now lives in Kent, UK with her husband, two kids and dog.
