Eating in the Light of the Moon with Dr Anita Johnston

Beloved, this episode is a MUST listen! Dr. Anita Johnston provides so much wisdom and clarity on the relationship we have with food, all found in her best-selling book, Eating in the Light of the Moon. Psychology taught Dr. Anita to be a listener, and from listening to women and combining multicultural myths, ancient legends, and folktales, she teaches women how to discover and address the issues behind their negative attitudes toward food. As women, goddesses of the earth, mothers, wives, and sisters, we often experience challenges with our weight, our bodies, and, more importantly, our relationship with food. All of a sudden, food and nutrition have all of these negative connotations through our own comparisons and triggers that we focus solely on food as the problem. When the underlying issues can be avoidance of emotions, past traumas, abuse, and culprits of our inner worlds. In this episode, Dr. Anita Johnston discusses how there are different forms of hunger, between the physical body’s hunger for nutrition and the soul’s hunger for activation, attention, sensations, and more. She further guides us to what questions to ask in order to recognize the feelings we might not want to feel, and therefore we suppress them through eating or avoiding food altogether.  Whether you’ve struggled with your relationship with food, bounced from diet to diet, or you’re longing to be more connected to yourself while cultivating healthier eating habits, this episode is for you!
