Less Stressed Life: Helping You Heal Yourself

Send us a textWelcome to body image month on The Less Stressed Life Podcast. We’re kicking off with another chat with my long time friend and colleague Emily Field, RD about bridging the gap between body acceptance and wanting to change body shape or size. She strongly believes that we can pursue body composition goals from a place of self-love."Be so rooted in your reasons for wanting to change your body, shape, and size, or whatever might that look like. Be so so strong about that and feel confident about that; enough so you could verbalize it to yourself and you could verbalize it to your practitioners to help you get there."Like every convo with her, I loved this episode. Here are some of the key takeaways:[05:30] Signs of no self-love[07:36] Vanity-driven goals[10:09] Setting expectations to more body love[18:47] Way of eating to loving your body[20:13] Right exercise to body loveMentioned in this episode:Louise Hay The Chemistry of Calm Book by Dr. Henry EmmonsThe Chemistry of Joy Book by Dr. Henry EmmonsBrain over Binge Book by Kathryn HansenEmily Field is a Registered Dietitian who teaches a mindful macros approach to help women ditch nonsense food rules and depriving diet behaviors - for good. Her clients are finding it liberating to focus on how much they can do, instead of how much they weigh, when they fuel and support their body appropriately.Assess your Adrenals, Detox or Get my Guidechristabiegler.com/linksJoin us on Instagraminstagram.com/anti.inflammatory.nutritionist/Shop our Favoriteschristabiegler.com/shopLoving the podcast?
