Why we’re not Intuitive Eating Coaches

We get asked a lot if we’re going to become certified IE coaches or why we’re not Intuitive Eating coaches. In this episode we’re discussing our issues with the way intuitive eating is mostly represented on social media (spoiler alert: it can seem very toxic and non-inclusive to many), and the biggest differences between our philosophy and practice of Whole-Hearted Eating and Intuitive Eating.  **disclaimer: this is *not* an episode bashing Intuitive Eating or Intuitive Eating Coaches at all!** We dig into: How do you actually incorporate gentle nutrition? What about people who feel like they’re not recovered enough if they’re not eating previous off-limits foods all the time? What about those with chronic health conditions?
