Episode 11: Rachel Tuchman, LMHC and I tackle Intuitive Eating and the harms of diet culture

In today's episode, Rachel Tuchman and I tackle the in's and out's of Intuitive Eating. We both share some of our own personal stories, how we ventured into this new territory and how worthwhile this new way of life is.

Here's a little preview "Rachel explains that she used to go on diets in order to lose weight. She was losing weight and felt good, but she was always hungry and stressed out. Rachel discovered that her obsession with being a certain weight was fruitless. The fact that she forced herself to lose a few pounds in order to maintain the weight she was in high school, after now having 3 children, was ridiculous. She felt herself judging people and their decisions regarding food and exercise. After discovering intuitive eating, she realized that health is not a body weight or a size but so much more than that. Being thin doesn’t mean you are a healthy person. The power of society and diet culture is so powerful that you can think you are an intellectual person, yet still buy into this diet mentality."
