Ep 72. Intuitive Eating - What’s It All About?

Sandra and Rob are joined today by intuitive eating dietitian, Sandra Thies, from Embracing Intuition. We have an in-depth discussion about intuitive eating, diet culture, body image and educating health professionals on principles of addressing weight bias in the health care system. We cover types of hunger, such as mouth (flavour) hunger, physical hunger, and heart hunger (emotional eating), plus letting go of guilt with regards to savouring favourite foods, and enjoying food for pleasure and not punishment. This episode is jam-packed with important messages around listening, trusting, and honouring our bodies, instead of always thinking 'just 5 more pounds' for life to be better. 'We can't hate our body into loving it'. You can find out more about Sandra Thies on Instagram or through her website Check our website for Sandra's article on intuitive eating. It will be up on the blog soon! Enjoying the show?
