Nourishing Women Podcast

Did you know that it is common in many cultures to believe pleasure is a part of taking care of your health?   Yet in our society that promotes thinness as the only way to pursue health, we have forgotten this important component of enjoying and living life, and also taking care of ourselves...and that’s eating and living for pleasure and satisfaction!   At our practice, Nourishing Minds Nutrition, we have a belief that food should be chosen for flavor first and foremost. What’s really cool about this mindset is that it can truly allow for food freedom and an all foods fit mentality, because all foods can be so delicious and pleasurable to eat, brussels sprouts and chocolate chip cookies included!   However, if you are new to intuitive eating and come from healthy eating obsessed or disordered eating and dieting past- you likely are not well tuned in to your ability to recognize pleasure and satisfaction. So let’s dig in to that more in today’s episode!   Looking for more support? Download our free mini-cours

And it's absolute in thinking, like "I HAVE to eat (fill in the blank) amount of vegetables per day" or "I can only eat carbs at one meal a day" or "I can only eat sweets on the weekend."   Or maybe for you it's that nutrition reminds you SO much of your days of dieting that you have completely avoided nutrition because it reminds you too much of restrictions and rules.   And in order to make gentle in mindset, flexible in action part of how you approach nutrition, I'm hosting the Gentle Nutrition Masterclass on Wednesday, March 23rd at 7pm EST (recording available if you cannot attend live)!   You can click here to learn more and grab your seat!    In this masterclass you'll learn how to shift your mindset around nutrition, what flexible in action actually looks like, and specific gentle nutrition practices you can apply in your everyday life.   My goal is to remove the confusion around the final principle of intu

Today is a random conversation podcast kind-of-episode for you! In this episode we talk about using body autonomy as a scapegoat for promoting weight loss as an intuitive eating provider, and my disappointment in seeing providers marketing weight loss when they also say they help people heal from disordered eating.   In this episode I also wanted to share that I stand in solidarity with Mickey, Lindley and ASDAH in the harm caused by Lindo Bacon. We are working to make changes in how we approach Health At Every Size as a result, and will continue to actively work to reduce our harm caused.
