166 - Intuitive Eating in a Diet Culture with Taylor Wolfram
What image comes to your mind when you think of the word “healthy”? What do you think a “healthy” person should look like? Your views about health and body image are deeply rooted in a mindset you’ve been conditioned into from internal and external influences. Every day you struggle with choices, especially with food and what diet is right for you. What if there's a way to challenge diet culture and have a more peaceful relationship with food and your body? Wouldn't you want to know about it?
This week's guest is Taylor Wolfram, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and private practice owner specializing in vegan nutrition and an anti-diet, weight-inclusive approach to health. She works with adults who are interested in ditching the diet mentality, embracing intuitive eating, and improving their body image. Taylor created the Anti-Diet Vegan Nutrition Online Course. So if you are ready to redefine your standards of health and wellness, this episode is for you.
