In what seems like a different lifetime, Iris Higgins was a weight loss coach for a large commercial weight loss program. While eating less than 1,500 calories a day, she was coaching women to lose weight and also bingeing regularly.
One day, she had a thought that changed everything. She decided that she would rather gain weight than be obsessed with food for the rest of my life.
Eventually, when it came to her body, Iris realized that “this is who I’m going through life with, we might as well be best friends.”
Iris and I also talked about the incident on Capitol Hill and how to navigate situations of violence and racial injustice, we need to come from a grounded and centered place, fat phobia, raising our children to be intuitive and mindful eaters (even with food sensitivities), and Iris’ upcoming nourishing bodies program.
