Trusting Ourselves with Food & Pleasure – In Session with Marc David


Listen Later

Jill, 44, wants a new relationship with food – one where she can enjoy a more easygoing, intuitive way of eating. She’d like eating to be fun and lighthearted, and feel satiated after a great meal. 

But her dreamy new relationship with food seems so very far away.

Jill has an intense desire for food – so deep that it feels like her desire can never be quenched. No matter what or how much Jil eats, she doesn’t really feel like she ever finds true pleasure and contentment with food. It just never feels like enough – and Jill has a lot of anxiety that she’ll end up overeating and gaining weight in her pursuit of pleasure.

Jill’s experience is one that many of us can relate to. 

We secretly – or not so secretly – love food. But we don’t trust ourselves with it. 

We’re afraid of our own pleasure, and what it might mean if we actually allowed ourselves to fully enjoy food.

In this episode, Marc David helps Jill and the rest of us understand why our desire for pleasure isn’t something to be afraid of. Instead, Marc argues that our love of food and pleasure is something that should be fully owned and celebrated. When we honor pleasure, we not only enjoy life so much more – but often find that weight loss is ironically much easier and more sustainable. 

Because when we own our love of food, we’re in our power. 

In this episode, you’ll hear Marc share:

✅ What trusting yourself with food actually requires. Hint: it’s not having a perfect track record with food, or never making a mistake!

✅ How to invoke your inner voice of wisdom when making food choices.

✅ The connection between trust and relaxation.

✅ How to honor our body’s animal nature amidst the very unnatural modern times we live in.

✅ How to eat from your body instead of your brain.

✅ And much more!

Pleasure is a beautiful aspect of being alive on this planet, but not very many of us have a healthy relationship with it. Instead of fighting desire, we can make it a powerful ally as we learn to live a radiant, embodied life. 

So tune in to learn how to deepen your own relationship with food and pleasure!
