Intuitive Eating: What does it really mean anyways?

Do you ever feel that you cannot trust yourself around food? Are you consumed by thinking about food 24/7 or counting the minutes until your next snack? Or maybe you swing between patterns of binging followed by patterns of restricting or arbitrary rule following? This week host Kristen Ales, LPC and disordered eating specialist demystifies the framework and approach to Intuitive Eating. While it can be scary to begin to ask the body what it wants when diet culture has taught us to tune out our intuitive nature and healthy body cues, Kristen helps draw the roadmap to recovery, building self trust, and finding food freedom.   In this episode we discuss: Kristen shares some personal history of her own intuitive eating journey. Exploring how spending time in nature and outdoor recreation is a natural gateway for increasing our body awareness + the ability to tune into our body’s needs.  The ten principles of Intuitive eating and how Kristen supports clients through each phase.
