Finding Food Freedom + Pleasure Beyond Food | Ali Bonar

208: WANT FOOD FREEDOM? Ali Bonar, the co-owner of Oat Hous Granola Butter is on the show today and she shares about her past eating disorder, food fear, and how she broke free and created a food company out of her past struggles. We talk about why binging is so common and the connection between food and emotions and how so many of us revert to food when we are sad or happy, and how we can revert to other means beside food to cope without emotions. Food can certainly give us pleasure, however when food is the ONLY pleasure we have in life - that is when we need to reevaluate ourselves and seek out other means of enjoyment, activities, and hobbies beyond just work. We touch on so many subjects around food freedom and I hope this episode inspires you to live a life free of fear.  TOPICS DISCUSSED: → Why we revert to food to deal with our emotions → Food fears → How Ali healed from her eating disorder → Why she started a food business → How to find pleasure beyond food → How to be more social → Balancing work and pleasure As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By:  → AquaTru | Go to https://aquatru.com/ enter code: DIGEST at checkout for 20% off → Our Place | Go to https://fromourplace.com/ and use code DIGEST for 10% → Pique Tea | Go to https://piquelife.com/digest for up to 15% OFF and freebies → BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough | Go to https://bioptimizers.com/digest and use promo code DIGEST during checkout to save 10%  → ARMRA | For a discount use code DIGEST at https://tryarmra.com/ Connect with Ali Bonar → Instagram → Oat Hous Granola Butter Check Out Bethany: → Bethany’s Instagram: @lilsipper → Bethany’s Website → My Digestive Support Protein Powder → Gut Reset Book  → Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds) Produced By: Drake Peterson Learn more about your ad choices.
