Episode #67: Why Food Freedom Is a Journey and Not a Destination

While dieting, we focused on accomplishing a weight loss goal. We’d have that “goal weight” in our minds and sacrifice what we could to get there in the shortest time possible. How we approached food and nourishing our bodies was always short-term and often a quick fix. 

As you intentionally leave behind dieting and the physical and emotional rollercoaster that comes with it, approaching food freedom may be challenging at first.

This is why understanding the journey of food freedom is so important. By changing your mind and how you approach food freedom, you can navigate the journey with much more ease and grace. 

On the podcast, Tara shares 10 new mindset shifts to consider on your food freedom journey.

Episode #65: Body Wisdom and Chiropractic Care With Dr. Kerry Goyette

When Dr. Kerry Goyette was in high school, chiropractic care helped her heal from an asthma diagnosis. Now, she loves to guide her patients to experience optimal health by using the Zone Technique of chiropractic care. 

We had an inspiring conversation about our body’s wisdom and healing. On the podcast, we also talked about: 

• Acknowledging how resilient our bodies are and how they are wired for health. 

• How important it is to not make any illness or disease who you are by owning its label, for example, “my asthma” or “my eating disorder”. 

• How to connect with our body’s wisdom by slowing down and letting go of our head drama. 

• Why it’s emotional stressors that often bring our bodies out of balance. 

• How our bodies respond to stressors the same way whether they are real or imagined.
