Redwood Wellbeing

Written by: Alyssa Said
  • Summary

  • Over a decade of struggling with poor body image and eating disorders, I knew I had to heal my relationship with food and my body—not only for myself, but for my future children. I was determined to break the cycle of dieting and body loathing and raise my children to accept their bodies and follow their intuitive eating cues. Now as a mother, I've discovered that so many parents share the same concerns. They want to know how to best support their children's food and body image relationships. This podcast is for those parents who seek non-judgmental, evidence-based, and practical support to navigate their children's journey towards intuitive eating and body confidence, no matter their age. Each week, we’ll explore the latest research, answer your questions, and provide actionable tips to help you support your child in developing a positive relationship with food and their body.
