Oh hey! If you are new around here and you want to gobble up all the content on intuitive eating, healing your relationship with food and your body, and all that good stuff – I don’t recommend that you listen to all the episodes from the beginning of the podcast. BECAUSE…when I started this podcast, I was a whole30 coach, was producing some episodes for my listeners about the Whole30, and and a few of my guests were also whole30 coaches. I also talked about different therapeutic diets like the autoimmune protocol, keto, intermittent fasting, macros, etc. – about what they are, about why some people choose to use them for healing, AND why they might not be a good choice for a lot of people. So if any of those topics are triggering for you or you don’t want to hear anything about the use of diets, even for a healing or therapeutic purpose, I would steer clear of those episodes.

But the good news for you is you’ve come to the right place – here are the podcast episodes by topic, so you can pick out your favorites and start there!
