If you've ever white-knuckled your way through a diet, told yourself you just need more willpower, or found yourself starting over every Monday — this episode is going to hit different.

We're sitting down with Alison Kane, Registered Dietitian, to talk about intuitive eating: the philosophy, the practice, and the reason it feels so radical in a world that profits from you not trusting your own body.

We cover:

• What intuitive eating actually is (and the biggest misconceptions)
• How to start tuning into hunger and fullness cues in real life
• The real cost of diet culture — beyond just counting calories
• How to handle food guilt, cravings, and emotional eating with compassion
• What body image peace actually looks like in practice

This isn't about giving up on health. It's about redefining it — without the punishment.
