Respect Your Body with Kristen Schmidt (Intuitive Eating #8)
In this Intuitive Eating Series, I'm joined by Kirsten Schmidt, a certified health coach specializing in behavior change and intuitive eating. the discussion explores viewing the body as a spiritual, physical, and mental gift from God. Kirsten emphasizes the importance of understanding our bodies as temples, the impacts of diet culture, and aligning our views on health with biblical teachings.
One of my favorite quotes from today's episode:
"The body stops being a gift the moment we turn it into an object. And diet culture does a really good job of turning the body into an object."
We discuss:
- Practical strategies for overcoming body image issues
- Stewarding the body in a God-centered way
- Accepting our natural shape and size
- The desire to be unconditionally loved
- How to view and treat your body with grace and respect
