Transactional self-care: One of the reasons we are burnt out? 🍄 🌟🌟✨✨🍯

Our online course Food Freedom Fundamentals is permanently closing enrollments at the end of january. We are offering all students this month 70% off FFF (no code required) to celebrate the closing of one chapter and opening another.

A quote that I stand by in my private practice is, how can we add things into our diet/life rather than take things away. This could mean adding in more tools like therapy, emotional regulation tools, sensory tools, more foods that satisfy us, adding some more protein or fat to a meal to help with blood sugar balance etc. To add things in means that we can approach eating and health from a place of self-care rather than deprivation. Even in situations where I have a client who has celiac disease, we approach it by finding alternatives, finding new and yummy foods to enjoy.

Binge eating can occur for many different reasons. One of them is biological reasons. Typically if someone is binging on high fat or high sugar foods, it's because when the body isnt getting enough energy via food, it will crave sources of energy that are quick to consume and dense in calories therefore high sugar and fat foods. There is nothing wrong with these foods, let's not use this as an opportunity to talk shit about food. Instead let's use it as an opportunity to learn more about our body, its needs and how we can find ways to meet them.

Ableism is super common in the nutrition space. Swipe through to learn more.

The anti-diet movement is not about neglecting health. To be anti diet, means to think critically about health and how societal conditioning and structures influence well being. It's about becoming aware of how systematic issues like white supremacy and misongoy influence health. It's about being critical about how our healthcare system often fails marginalized people. It can be about finding ways to explore health and wellbeing in a way that feels meaningful to you.
