Shoulders Down

đź’“ Weight Inclusivity, Self-Compassion, & Grieving the Thin Ideal with Mya Kwon


Listen Later

This week we are joined by Mya Kwon, a fellow anti-diet dietitian. In this episode we talk about: 

  • Mya's story with her relationship with food and body
  • Mya's unconventional path into the world of HAES and Intuitive Eating
  • How Mya's students respond to the weight inclusive curriculum
  • Why grieving the thin ideal is an important part of body image healing
  • Why self-compassion is central to intuitive eating

Before diving into the interview with Mya, we answer a listener question about what to do when you've stopped calorie counting but you cant stop the internal calorie tracker in your brain
