Why I Stopped Teaching Weight Loss: A Personal Journey From Weight-Centric Care to Intuitive Eating
In this episode of Pocket Snacks, Eden, a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, discusses her significant career shift away from teaching intentional weight loss, a decision she made in 2022. She reflects on why she initially embraced weight loss coaching and how her experiences with clients in food deserts and her own personal challenges with an eating disorder led her to adopt a weight-inclusive, intuitive eating approach. Eden shares her struggle to reconcile the pursuit of weight loss with promoting genuine health, her journey of 'great unlearning', and her commitment to helping clients develop healthier relationships with food. She also highlights the support of therapy in navigating these changes and offers resources for those looking to explore intuitive eating and body respect.
