What if the only thing standing between you and food peace is permission?

In this episode, Mia Deneen dives into the third concept of intuitive eating — making peace with food — by unpacking what she calls The Last Supper Mentality: that all-too-familiar cycle of eating with urgency, guilt, and regret before starting over “tomorrow.”

Through personal stories, biblical truth, and fascinating research, Mia explores why restriction never leads to control — only craving — and how God designed our bodies with the wisdom to guide us when we stop fighting them. You’ll learn about the science of habituation, the “forbidden fruit” effect, and what happens in the brain when we deprive ourselves of the very foods we love.

And you’ll hear a personal story about gluten-free Chips Ahoy (yes, really) that will make you laugh, nod, and finally exhale.

The Last Supper mentality focuses on restriction — but Jesus’ Last Supper was about presence.

He blessed the bread, not judged it.

So take a deep breath, pull up a chair, and learn how to eat with peace, presence, and prayer — because peace with food begins with peace with Him.
