Intuitive Eating: Heal Your Relationship With Food

Food guilt isn't a personal failure—it's often the result of diet culture, misinformation, and a nervous system that has learned to fear nourishment.In this episode, I sit down with licensed clinical social worker, certified intuitive eating counselor, and author Sandy Morse to explore what it really means to rebuild trust with food. Drawing from over 25 years of experience treating eating disorders and disordered eating, Sandy explains why diets fail, how intuitive eating helps us reconnect with our bodies, and why nutrition, mental health, and spirituality belong in the same conversation.Together, we discuss the science behind food anxiety, the gut-brain axis, fasting for faith versus weight loss, the myths behind "clean eating," raising children with a healthy relationship to food, and caring for aging parents without passing down diet culture. If you've ever felt guilty standing in front of the fridge or overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this conversation will help you approach food with more curiosity, compassion, and neuroscience.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why rejecting the diet mentality is the first step toward intuitive eating.• How chronic food restriction affects your nervous system and digestion.• The difference between fasting for spiritual reasons and fasting for weight loss.• Why "clean eating" isn't a scientific term.• Practical ways to reduce food guilt and build a healthier relationship with eating.About My GuestSandy Morse is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and the author of Feed Your Purpose: Intuitive Eating as a Spiritual Practice.
