53 | Overcoming fear foods and learning to love your body through food with Meg Doll, RHN

Meg Doll is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist who helps women heal their relationship with food, help them get to the root of their health issues, and teaches them how to heal through learning to love themselves. Meg is sharing her personal story of overcoming an eating disorder and body image struggles, and why she became so passionate about helping other women do the same. We’re talking about how we use tracking and controlling our food as a source of comfort and control, and how to start taking steps forward to stepping outside of our comfort zone, overcoming fear foods, and taking control back from the food to empower ourselves. Then, we discuss the biggest roadblocks or things that were holding you back on your journey to recovery and self love

The reason we’re afraid of giving up control is we’re afraid of gaining weight.
Our bodies are fighting for us every single day to be healthy.
How to navigate safe foods and fear foods – why do we have these fear foods? How can we start to challenge and overcome them?
How to avoid the diet culture noise of New Year’s resolutions where restrictive eating and overexercising will become the norm and even encouraged as a way to ‘make up for the holidays’
