In the ninth (and FINAL!) episode of Sessions - a NEW series on the Food Freedom/Body Love podcast where you get to listen in on 1:1 conversations between Jill and those struggling with food, body image, weight, and health - Jill talks with a nutritional therapist who started her practice offering up sugar detoxes but has now shifted into coaching others on how to adopt a model of trust for eating and feeding. She wonders where her nutrition background fits in to all of this - like, is it ever okay to talk about balancing blood sugar or regulating digestion or whole foods? When? How?
In this episode, we discuss:

How to use nutrition information in a way that helps, without harming

When it's appropriate to bring up nutrition? Jill's ADD-IN strategy.

Can you advocate on balancing blood sugar without talking about the specifics of food?

How to not get caught up in the WHAT of nutrition, when it's not the right time

Focusing on the relationship with food

Setting health "on a shelf" as we repair the relationship with food

Logistical eating - what it is and why it's important


TW: All of these sessions are recorded live and only moderately edited - numbers (weight, calories, etc) may come up as well as the "O" words (overweight, obese) and the mention of specific diet plans or food philosophies. It's the nature of working 1:1 in this way. Please listen only if these topics aren't triggering for you. Also - these sessions are designed to educate and entertain. They are not prescriptive. If you are struggling with food and body image issues, you should reach out to your primary care provider for individual advice before self-diagnosing or treating.
