✨ Episode Summary: Intuitive eating gets talked about a lot — and misunderstood even more. In this episode, we’re slowing things down and having a real, nuanced conversation about what intuitive eating actually is (and what it definitely isn’t).

We break down the foundations, unpack common myths, and explore how intuitive eating can be adapted — especially for folks navigating eating disorder recovery, trauma, or years of diet culture conditioning.

Whether you're a clinician supporting clients, someone in recovery, or just feeling exhausted by food rules, this conversation offers a compassionate and practical lens for building trust with your body over time.

We also talk about why intuitive eating isn’t a quick fix, why structure can still matter (especially early in recovery), and how curiosity — not perfection — is the goal.

🧰 Takeaways:

• Intuitive eating is not a diet — and it’s not meant to be a weight-loss tool.
• You don’t have to “feel intuitive” right away — especially in recovery.
• Structure and intuitive eating can coexist (and often should early on).
• Healing your relationship with food takes time, patience, and self-compassion.
• Curiosity > perfection when learning to trust your body again.
