Healing Your Relationship with Food

In this episode, Julie discusses how to mend your relationship with food if you had an 'Almond Mom' who influenced your views on body size and eating. She provides eight recommendations for healing, including using guardrails to make food choices, replacing diet-y thoughts with positive ones, relearning what eating enough means for you, playing with your food, spending time in 'donut land' to repair your relationship with food, prioritizing healing as a health-promoting behavior, and keeping the big picture in mind rather than focusing on individual food choices.
