Kristen and I chatted about intuitive eating and what that looks like, diet culture and why that harms us, as well as the empowerment that comes from eating what we love and releasing restrictive eating. Kristen explains the phases of the menstrual cycle and how those overlap with the phases of the moon. We also talk about hormonal contraceptives and how folks taking birth control can connect with their cycle, and also some things to expect when coming off of the pill.
