Julie Duffy Dillon and Gina Forster discuss the complex relationship between food, fear, and diabetes. Gina shares her personal journey of overcoming a fear of food and how societal pressures influenced her relationship with eating. They explore the impact of diet culture on parenting and the importance of modeling healthy behaviors for children. The conversation also delves into gestational diabetes, the guilt associated with diabetes diagnoses, and the role of genetics in these conditions. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for self-compassion and understanding in navigating food relationships.
