During this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing another fellow holistic nutritionist, Karri Wilson who does nutrition assessments but focused a lot of her work on intuitive eating, relationship with food and body image. Karri is also trained to do live blood cell analysis.

In this interview, Karri opens up about her journey to becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and that moment she had when everything changed. She also shares what it was like to make that career change, her journey when being diagnosed with an illness and also the work she had to do to become an intuitive eater and improve her relationship with food.

Karri also shares ways that you can change your language and provide compliments to people that don't revolve around their weight. We also talk about commenting on what people are eating and how that can be harmful.
