Psychotherapist author and insight timer app teacher Andrea Walker has helped thousands of students find their wise inner eating voice. What are the first steps we should take when it comes to developing a more intuitive relationship with food? One of the first things that I do in my course is really try to diminish shame because if somebody has a problematic relationship with food and their body, they usually feel just shamed about it.
Everyone has a view about what you should eat and how much. We're so bombarded with fad diets, fasting plans and nutritional advice that we can bounce from one way of eating to another without stopping to think: "What do I want to eat?"
Psychotherapist Andrea Wachter endured years of disordered eating and obsessing about her weight, until she decided to heed her inner voice and what her body wanted to consume. She explains to Dr Laurie Santos how so-called intuitive eating can free us from both diets and overeating.
