Episode 101: Weight Loss, Diet-Culture, and Intuitive eating with Jessie Haims

In This episode I talk my my friend Jessie about her journey of discovering and addressing her disordered eating habits after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She talks a lot about intuitive eating and how this has helped her.

Here are a list of resources Jessie mentions in the podcast:

Books:

- Health At Every Size by Linda Bacon - this explains the science of metabolism and weight loss and why diets don't work as well as what diets do to our body on a physiological level. She then spends a lot of time discussing how fat phobia has prevented people in larger bodies receiving proper health care when a lot of their diseases are not even related to their weight - this book BLEW MY MIND!

- Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch - also comes with a work book and would highly recommend getting both

- The 8 Keys to Recovery by Carolyn Costing and Gwen Schubert Grabb - also comes with a work book but I would recommend reading the book first and then doing the workbook.

- The Wellness Rebel by Pixie Turner is awesome for myth busting as well as The Angry Chef by Anthony Warner

- The Fuck it Diet: Eating should easy by Carolyn Dooner - this book was one of my favs a quick read and so inspiring to stay on the track to having a better relationship with food
