Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

This is Part 3 of a 3-part podcast series, so make sure you've listened to Parts 1 and 2 right before this one!    It's time to talk about health.

(And let's not forget that your mental health is part of your health.)...

If you genuinely believe that you can't stop yourself from overeating with certain foods, we need to talk about that. Because that's not intuitive eating.    So many people tell me, "If I ate intuitively I'd eat an entire package of cookies or bag of chips every day."

"Food noise" is such a trendy term right now, but what does that even mean? Most people who experience it instantly know EXACTLY what it means, and it resonates in their soul.   But here's the issue…   There are 3 distinct types of food noise, and they each have a different cause and solution. What works for one type might actually make another type worse.    A lot of clinicians (including dietiti...
