On today’s episode we have Part II of II with Kristina Bruce, Certified Integrative Life Coach and Body Trust® Provider (Click here for Part I). We’re talking about the navigating body changes & negative body comments, and the challenges of physical and psychological restriction when you’re working on neutral nutrition and unconditional permission to eat. We’re also diving into how this fits into the shift from external food ‘shoulds’ to internal regulation when giving up dieting behaviors, and why it feels like we’re constantly swimming upstream and have our defenses up when working on body acceptance in a body size obsessed culture.  

As a Certified Integrative Life Coach and Body Trust® Provider, Kristina specializes in helping women break free from dieting and negative body image. Calling upon her education in health studies, sociology, yoga, meditation, and self-inquiry methodologies, Kristina works one-on-one with women to help them develop a positive relationship with themselves so they can live empowering and fulfilled lives, in the bodies that they have.
