Have you ever been stuck in a cycle of restrictive diets, counting every calorie, and battling guilt with every weigh-in? Join us as we talk with previous Nourished & Free™ member, Jaime, about her journey to food freedom. Jaime opens up about her experiences with a program that was fixated on the restrictive mindset and dieting, leading her down a path where she obsessively counted calories and found herself riddled with guilt at weigh-ins. Feeling trapped, she sought a more sustainable approach to nutrition, one that wouldn't have her measuring lettuce leaves to meet caloric intake goals. Jaime's story doesn't end here. She made the brave decision to deviate from the restrictive mindset she was used to and moved towards a healthier balance with food and body image. She shares her transformational journey working with me and how it changed her outlook on body image, food, and gave her the confidence to eat without guilt or restrictions. Jaime also discusses how this was a sustainable nutrition program that has helped her maintain her results. If you're seeking a more sustainable way to achieve food freedom and break away from the guilt associated with restrictive diets, Jaime's story will be a beacon of hope.

In the final segment of my 2 part series with Hannah Saffold, a seasoned registered dietitian working with eating disorders, we untangle the complex world of intuitive eating. We dive into the misconceptions surrounding this framework and reveal why it's not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Navigating the world of intuitive eating and fostering healthier food relationships can feel like walking a tightrope. In this episode, we delve into the idea of 'gentle nutrition' and the balance between various forces in the food industry, food access, and our inner voice. We also discuss the significance of releasing the clutches of diet culture and meeting people where they are with their food choices. Spoiler alert: you'll learn why working with a professional can be a game-changer on your intuitive eating journey! Listen as we scrutinize the challenges between adhering to rigid guidelines and critically assessing one's relationship with food and their body. We debate the pros and cons of different diets, including the Health At Every Size paradigm, and how it can aid or hinder your journey to a healthier relationship with food. As we wrap up, we address the recent controversies in the intuitive eating community and the importance of creating an inclusive space for all. So, buckle up and join us on this enlightening journey as we reshape our understanding of intuitive eating and food relationships.

In this eye-opening conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Jillian Lampert, a fellow registered dietitian and the Chief Strategy Officer for Accanto Health.
