Session 2: Bouncing Back. Ep 110.

1 hour 10 minutes

In the second episode of Sessions - a NEW series on the Food Freedom/Body Love podcast where you get to listen in on 1:1 conversations between Jill and those struggling with food, body image, weight, and health - Jill talks with a mother of four as she explores her beliefs about her body and how it should bounce back after giving birth.

In this episode, we discuss:

The diet cycle roller coaster

The reason we get on the roller coaster in the first place

The costs associated with controlling weight through restriction and overexercise

The reality that restriction and overexercise can be hard to keep up with long-term, especially as the demands on our time and attention increase

What to do if you think intuitive eating is causing uncontrolled weight gain

How to manage natural, normal physical transformations

TW: All of these sessions are recorded live and only moderately edited - numbers (weight, calories, etc) may come up as well as the "O" words (overweight, obese) and the mention of specific diet plans or food philosophies. It's the nature of working 1:1 in this way. Please listen only if these topics aren't triggering for you. Also - these sessions are designed to educate and entertain. They are not prescriptive. If you are struggling with food and body image issues, you should reach out to your primary care provider for individual advice before self-diagnosing or treating.
