#195: How Intuitive Eating, Body Image W...

Katy Harvey
About this episode

If you’re wondering how the heck my clients are eliminating overeating and judgmental thoughts, without going on another restrictive diet or giving up their 10pm ice cream…it’s because they’re rewiring all the sneaky ways diet culture still lives rent-free in their heads.

 

>> It’s about learning how to respond when the old patterns come roaring back.

>> It’s about WHAT TO DO when it’s 9pm and you’re standing in front of the pantry with zero hunger 

 

AND…

 

It’s about rebuilding trust with your hunger cues, ditching the food guilt, and embracing a life where dessert isn’t a bad word. 

 

Which is precisely what I did with my client, whose relationship with food + her body (and her LIFE) changed massively in just under a year…all because she stuck with it when things felt hard.

 

Together, we worked through 4 key areas where she got stuck along the way:

 

1️⃣🔑 Knowing when, what and how to eat (using intuitive eating) - especially with ADHD

 

2️⃣🔑 Blood sugar and A1c concerns, and what to do about the “charmed” foods that she still overate sometimes

 

3️⃣🔑 The body image spiral when she got her friend’s wedding invite

 

4️⃣🔑 A block against exercise…she wanted to want to do it, but felt so much resistance

 

And in this episode, I’m sharing the exact tools and strategies that I used with her at each of these junctures, so you can use these strategies and see how the work is actually done. (It’s a lot more complex than “just listen to your body.”)

 

You deserve to feel calm around food, at home in your body, and to trust yourself again - just like my client above. Hit play and let’s dig in!

 

When you’re done listening, let me know which strategy or tool you’re going to try!

 

 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

 

-4 Key areas that my client got stuck on her intuitive eating journey

-Tools, strategies and frameworks that I gave her to improve her health, without any food tracking or obsession

-The mindset shift with exercise that took it from feeling like a chore >> to self-care that she actually enjoys (most days…and what she tells herself when she doesn’t feel like working out) 

 

Today’s Wellness Woo is ozone therapy.
