Ep 132 - How To Just Eat It - Chapter 11: Gentle Nutrition

Don't Salt My Game | With Laura Thomas, PhD

Welcome to this special series of Don’t Salt My Game celebrating the release of my new book How to Just Eat It. For the next several weeks, I’ll be posting two new episodes of the podcast (Tuesdays and Fridays) that correspond with a chapter of the book to help you take your learning further and deepen your intuitive eating practice. How To Just Eat It is out now! Episode 9 of this series will drop on Tuesday 16th Feb!

In today’s episode I’m talking to Paige Smathers RDN, CD is a registered dietitian nutritionist in private practice and podcaster whose work revolves around helping people heal their relationships with food and their body. She specializes in chronic dieting, addiction recovery nutrition, eating disorders and family feeding dynamics. Her approach to nutrition and health is grounded in mindfulness and is rooted in the intuitive eating and Health at Every Size frameworks. In this episode we’re talking all about the final principle of Intuitive Eating; Gentle Nutrition.

In this episode we talk about:

• How choosing what to eat is like choosing what to wear
• Unconditional permission to eat; what it is and what it isn’t
• Why it’s important not to come to Gentle Nutrition before we are ready
• Food flexibility
• How mindfulness can support our relationship with food
• Letting go of ‘food perfection’
• Food satisfaction
• Food curiosity

Paige talks us through how we can start to take the power back into our own bodies to find what feels good for us.
