NWP Episode 174: Intuitive Eating is NOT Anti-Health
In our current world, the diet culture infused health and wellness one- we are told the only ways to obtain health are to: have a very specific body size, eat this not that and exercise as much as possible.
And when you hear about intuitive eating...
You fear that vegetables and all the foods you force yourself to eat to maintain your "healthy identity" will become foods you never eat again. In fact all your behaviors you’re scared you’ll never do again.
And if that's a fear of yours, that may mean you've made the mistake of thinking intuitive eating is just eating "whatever you want". Or only ever eating ice cream. Or never exercising again. It’s another version of all or nothing thinking.
Intuitive eating is about promoting health and eating ALL foods (that feel medically or ethically best for you).
You need to learn to live life in the gray area, and discover what health really means to you. Health shouldn't be about black and white thinking, nor is it the small little actions but instead the sum of all your behaviors over your entire life span.
Listen to today’s podcast episode to hear my take on the many reasons intuitive eating is NOT anti-health.
This episode is brought to you by my new online course, Permission Stage Playbook.
You know in order to embrace intuitive eating, you’re gonna have to end the fight between you and your body, make peace with food and give yourself unconditional permission to eat.
But that’s also what makes this work incredibly challenging, overwhelming and frustrating! That’s why my team and I have created our first ever online course, Permission Stage Playbook.
Permission Stage Playbook is a proven step-by-step guide for how to move past the confusion and overwhelm to become an intuitive eater.
Permission Stage Playbook is the ONLY program of its kind that:
Teach you, step by step, how to give yourself permission to eat and not only make peace with food, but also make peace with your body in order to let it be.
Re-align you with your own values and beliefs about health and also who you want to be and how you want to live your life.
Help you learn to trust your body and trust yourself to feed yourself, re-learning what it means to “listen to your body”.
Help you discover what balance with food looks like and how to live life in the gray area, one where you can embrace an “all foods fit” mentality.
Online course created to help you truly understand intuitive eating, especially for those who struggle with being a little too obsessed with all things health and wellness.
The cart is officially open and we would love to have you join our VIP experience, where you will receive the online course material AND group coaching calls with me, a private Facebook support group, support from the entire team at my practice AND (if it could get better than that…) bonus content on exercise and nutrition in the final week of the course.
The cart is open for a limited time only (it closes next Tuesday!) and we are only taking a limited number of students inside the VIP experience of Permission Stage Playbook.
I hope to see you inside the course!

Thank to New Chapter for sponsoring today’s episode. You’ve heard me at length chat about why I love New Chapter’s multivitamin, prenatal vitamin and postnatal vitamin. Multivitamins support your foundational health with vital vitamins and minerals. But what’s so amazing is that New Chapter has also formulated a multiherbal for you, think of these as your multivitamin soul mates to add targeted herbal support.
There are four multiherbal options for you to choose from, one for holistic health, one to power up, one for restful nights and one to de-stress.
Take One Daily Multiherbal Holistic, made with black seed, turmeric and ginger.Clinically studied Black Seed has been shown to support healthy cognitive function and memory while relieving occasional stress and anxiety to uplift mood.* For heart and whole-body wellness, Ginger and Turmeric support healthy inflammation response and cardiovascular health.*
Or the Only Daily Multiherbal Energy Boost, made to increase energy and stamina. This multiherbal blend is caffeine-free and made with Eleuthero to invigorate the body and enhance energy and endurance even during times of high stress. It also contains my two of my favorite adaptogens, Rhodiola and Maca to support strengthening the body’s natural response to stress and fatigue.
I’m personally excited to continue taking my postnatal vitamin and add these two multiherbals into my supplement protocol, as I could definitely benefit from both right now! You can purchase New Chapter multiherbals on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode NC!
