In the final segment of my 2 part series with Hannah Saffold, a seasoned registered dietitian working with eating disorders, we untangle the complex world of intuitive eating. We dive into the misconceptions surrounding this framework and reveal why it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we confront some troubling trends noticed in the intuitive eating space, including the policing and shaming often accompanying the Health At Every Size® representatives.

Navigating the world of intuitive eating and fostering healthier food relationships can feel like walking a tightrope. In this episode, we delve into the idea of 'gentle nutrition' and the balance between various forces in the food industry, food access, and our inner voice. We also discuss the significance of releasing the clutches of diet culture and meeting people where they are with their food choices. Spoiler alert: you'll learn why working with a professional can be a game-changer on your intuitive eating journey!

Listen as we scrutinize the challenges between adhering to rigid guidelines and critically assessing one's relationship with food and their body. We debate the pros and cons of different diets, including the Health At Every Size paradigm, and how it can aid or hinder your journey to a healthier relationship with food. As we wrap up, we address the recent controversies in the intuitive eating community and the importance of creating an inclusive space for all. So, buckle up and join us on this enlightening journey as we reshape our understanding of intuitive eating and food relationships.
