ABOUT OUR GUEST: 

Sammy Previte is the founder of Find Food Freedom®, a virtual private practice of non-diet dietitians and certified Intuitive Eating counselors. She’s also a registered dietitian, certified Intuitive Eating counselor, certified personal trainer, and podcast host. Her mission is to help others create peace with food and re-discover food as a means for nourishment and pleasure. Find Food Freedom® is rooted in Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, and the team believes that all humans deserve fair, unbiased health care regardless of the size of their body.

TOPIC: 

We’ve gotten a lot of requests to do an episode about diet culture and how to heal your relationship with food, so we invited Sammy on to talk about what Intuitive Eating is, why diets don't work, and how to feel balanced and free with your eating choices. We discuss body image, examples of disordered eating, and how to get to the root of your thoughts and beliefs about food. Sammy also shares advice for how to build a toolkit to keep you safe around people or events that might trigger disordered eating patterns. Plus, we talk about what inspired her to start Find Food Freedom® and how people can get started on their Intuitive Eating journey today. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• Learning how to trust your body and hunger cues again 
• Debunking myths about Intuitive Eating 
• What an intuitive vs. diet culture eating experience might look like 
• Why Noom isn’t actually the ‘anti-diet’ that they claim to be 
• The bias against people in bigger bodies who promote Intuitive Eating 
• Recognizing disordered eating habits that are normalized in our society
• Coming to terms with childhood beliefs about food 
• Creating a support system for when you feel triggered by people or events 

END OF THE SHOW: 

Corinne and Natalie introduce Hottie of the Week: Jennifer Lawrence 

WINE RATING:

Roscato Rosso Dolce = 7 / J Law 

WRAP UP:

To wrap up the episode, we play Recent Obsessions, and we have two TV show recommendations! Corinne is loving Is It Cake?, a baking contest where cake decorators create replicas of inanimate objects and the judges have to guess if it’s real or a cake. Nat just finished Severance, which is slightly more serious, but she says that it’s up there with Breaking Bad and Stranger Things, which are her favorite shows of all time.
