Break Free of Destructive Dieting and Disordered Eating--Simple Research-Backed Steps from Expert Dr. Supatra Tovar

We often learn early in life to use food as a coping strategy, which can lead to destructive dieting patterns. In today's stressful, perfection-oriented world, the tendency to see food as both friend and enemy—a two-faced fixture that wields the power to reward, soothe, tempt, and haunt—can be amplified. While some people simply eat to live, others find themselves struggling daily to find a healthy relationship with food. And for those who weren't raised in food-neutral families, the journey can be especially tough. When battles with food loom large in the psyche, mental and physical health are negatively impacted. Can we heal the diet culture force by rethinking our relationship with food? Join Dr. Carla and clinical psychologist, registered dietician, and certified fitness expert Dr. Supatra Tovar for a mindful exploration of the steps you can take to shift your relationship with food to create lasting psychological and physical well-being. Topics discussed include nutrition, mental health, medication, semaglutide products, fitness, exercise, disordered eating, dieting, binging, trauma, mindfulness, attachment issues, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Notes: Personal opinion, not medical advice, is offered in this podcast; consult your medical practitioner for advice.
