Hey Rebel. In this episode, I’m talking with former client Patricia about her journey of unlearning diet rules and finding food freedom. Like many of us, she thought she was just being healthy, but in reality, those beliefs kept her stuck in restriction, worry, and self-judgment.

In this episode, Patricia shares:

• How internalized diet culture shaped her food choices without her realizing it
• The mindset shifts that helped her break free from food rules and restriction
• How prioritizing satisfaction helped her discover new foods and let go of guilt
• Why learning the science behind nutrition was key to improving her body image

If you’ve ever felt stuck in food rules without questioning where they came from, or if you struggle with food but don’t know why, Patricia’s story will resonate with you. Tune in to hear how she reconnected with her body’s needs and finally found peace with food.

Episode 183: Healing for Herself and Her Family: How Kayla Found Food Freedom

Hey Rebel. Today I’m joined by fellow registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, Chelsea Levy, to unpack a common concern I hear often: Can intuitive eating really work for all body sizes? Many people feel like food freedom is only possible if you're already in a smaller body, and today, we’re diving into why that’s not true.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What fat positivity truly means and why it matters
• The societal barriers that perpetuate weight stigma
• How intuitive eating can be a tool for healing, regardless of body size
• Practical ways to unlearn anti-fat bias and cultivate self-compassion

Whether you’re working on your own relationship with food or want to better support loved ones in marginalized bodies, this conversation will equip you with the tools and perspectives to make meaningful changes.
