Have you stepped away from diet culture?
Maybe you are not longer following a particular diet or meal plan right now. 

Today I share my story, of a client who considered herself to be an intuitive eater because she no longer eliminated foods, tracked calories, or measured portion sizes anymore, but...food anxiety managed to sneak in while she was struggling with health issues.

In this episode, I will share how restriction can show up in sneaky ways.

In the beginning of my intuitive eating journey, I approached it with one foot still planted in diet culture because I was terrifed to gain weight!

In today's episode I share mistakes that I made as well as the mistakes I have witnessed clients make that truly held them back from fully experiencing food freedom. My hope for today's episode is that you can learn from our mistakes and avoid prolonging your stay in dietland.

Many people refrain from seeking help because they don't believe that they are "sick enough" to receive help.

In today's episode, I explain the characteristics of a few eating disorders, as well as the limitations with certain diagnosis criteria.

At the end of the episode, I will go through a few questions that you can ask yourself to determine whether or not you should seek out support.

Do you spend a large amount of time thinking about:
What you're going to eat, how many calories are in that food, what time your next meal is going to be, and whether or not you should be eating certain things?

If thoughts of food preoccupy most of your day, you may feel like you are a food addict. There are several reasons why this can happen and in today's episode I share a few reasons why you may be struggling and what you can do to move forward so that food doesn't feel like it has taken over your life.

By the time we are old enough to talk, we are being programmed by society.

What is appropriate. What isn't.
What is good behavior. What is bad behavior.

Disney is the first exposure to messaging that young girls have.
As a child, you aren't flipping through magazines or scrolling through social media, having beauty standards shoved down your throat.

You just have Disney.

In today's show, I talk about the impact that Disney has on girls self-esteem and body image.

"As long as they are healthy, I support and love them."

Y'all! This morality that we have placed around health has go to stop!

As long as your healthy, tells those that suffer with chronic illness that they are not as worth as love and respect.

I work with tons of women who suffer with conditions like MS, diabetes, Lyme's Disease, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Endometriosis, PCOS, and so much more. And let me be the first to tell you, the body image struggles that come with these conditions is REAL!

Imagine trying to heal your relationship with your body, but you feel as though your body is fighting against you every step of the way. And on top of it you have to listen to influencers that they are worth more because they are "healthy".
