#175: How to Trust Your Body Again After...

Katy Harvey
About this episode

You've spent years trying to outsmart your hunger - pushing it down, ignoring it, or waiting until you "deserve" to eat. But what if I told you that ignoring your hunger is exactly what's keeping you stuck in the binge-restrict cycle? In this episode, I'll show you why your body's hunger signals aren't the enemy - they're actually the key to finding food freedom. 

Here's the truth: when you ignore your hunger, your body doesn't just sit back and accept it. It fights hard to get the energy it needs - through cravings, obsession, and feeling totally out of control around food. But the problem isn't you. It's the dieting rules that have convinced you to fear your own body's needs. Imagine what it would feel like to actually trust your hunger and eat without guilt. That's exactly what we're diving into today.

 

If you've ever felt like you can't trust yourself around food, this is the episode you can't afford to skip.

 

Episode Highlights

 

  • Why you lost trust in your body
  • The biological, metabolic and mental consequences of ignoring your hunger and fullness
  • How to rebuild trust with hunger and fullness
  • Case example from a client who learned to trust her body - and how you can too!

 

Today's Wellness Woo is red dye 3.
