Are you stuck in a cycle of guilt every time you eat something “off plan”? Do food rules make grocery shopping feel like a minefield?

Alana Bonnemann, a naturopathic nutritionist and host of the Health After 30 podcast, joins me to talk about the rising culture of food fear and how to escape it.

We unpack why our relationship with food often feels so complicated, the role of diet culture and childhood conditioning, and how to replace guilt with trust. Together, we explore what it actually means to “feel good” after eating, how to eat with intention (not obsession), and why a little cake won’t wreck your health goals.

Today, you’ll learn all about:

2:36 - Childhood food rules and guilt
4:16 - What eating without fear looks like
6:02 - Why body awareness matters
11:01 - Can healthy food taste good
14:31 - The truth about eating cake
20:13 - Diet culture vs true health
29:54 - How to know what feels good
41:05 - Change your default eating loop
47:32 - Outro
