Medicine for Life

Today's episode is the first in a series around nurturing healthy eaters (aka - Kids). Even if you don't have kids, there are some great points to help you approach other littles in your life or those you may care for in health care. Today's episode focuses on the basis to approach healthy eating in general and future episodes will dive into the "what" you can feed them.

Last week we talked all about intuitive eating (if you missed it, be sure to set aside 20 minutes to check it out!) which was all about listening to your body's hunger and satiety cues - basically TRUSTING you body. This week we dive into the food itself. Why are we eating what and when we eat? How does it make us feel? How can we learn to enjoy the experience of eating and truly experience the meal? I walk you thought a basic mindful eating exercise and provide journal prompts and reflections to help you stay more mindful during your meals.

Today we dive into Intuitive Eating, which seems to be starting to have a bit of a revival in the past few years. Intuitive eating is listening to your body and TRUSTING you body will guide you in what to eat, when to eat and how much to each. Trust me, this can be you. As someone who went from pretty notable disordered eating that included measuring and recording every last morsel of food that went into my mouth to someone who eating intuitively 99.9% of the time (and wouldn't want it any other way), I promise you it is possible. Take a listen and see what you think!
