Episode 56: Moving from Body Shrinking to Body Positive

In this episode, I talk about progression in my health journey from focusing on restriction and body shrinking to learning about intuitive eating, diet culture and the Health at Every Size (HAES) movement. I am at the beginning of exploring this new journey and share some of the resources that I am using to learn more, like the Food Psych Podcast with Christy Harrison and the Intuitive Eating Workbook by Tibole and Resch.   Pendulum by S.E. German is available on FriesenPress, Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. The novel follows a young boy as he changes overnight from happy and silly to angry and anxious. We learn that he has developed a neuroimmune disorder called PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infection). We hear the boy's perspective through his diagnosis, treatment and throughout regular middle-grade experiences.
