22: Rebuilding Body Trust After Years of Restriction ft. Brittany Braswell, RD

Is it safe to listen to your body after years of ignoring its signals? In this powerful episode of your body speaks, I’m joined by faith-filled dietitian and podcast host Brittany Braswell, RD, for a deep conversation about what it really means to trust your body again—especially after a long season of restriction, binge cycles, or disordered eating patterns. We go beyond the food and dive into the four pillars of health—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—to explore how they influence hunger cues, metabolic signals, and our ability to rebuild trust from the inside out. You'll learn: What happens physiologically when we ignore hunger cues Why you can’t always trust your hunger early in recovery—and what to do instead The real difference between “body wisdom” and “interoceptive awareness” Brittany’s 4-step nutrition ladder: adequacy, balance, variety, specificity Her 3 non-negotiables for building body trust (this part is 🔥) How faith, submission, and logic work together when decoding body signals If you’ve ever said, “I don’t know what my body wants anymore,” this episode is your permission slip to slow down, reset, and begin again—with support and grace. 🎧 Listen in and be sure to check out Brittany’s free Body Trust Framework Workbook: 👉 https://www.brittanybraswellrd.com/btf Connect with Brittany on Social Media: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/brittanybraswellrd/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianwomeninrecovery ✨ Your body has been trying to tell you something.
