Episode #85: Intuitive Eating, Safety, and Diet Culture with Amee Severson

On the podcast, Amee shares how people new to intuitive eating often get sidetracked when they treat intuitive eating as the “screw it” diet. She shares how being free of guilt and worry around food helps improve your own health and dieting may feel necessary to do for folks when people around them are dieting too.

Amee also shares the importance of safety and choice for everyone, but especially for those that live in marginalized bodies where safety isn’t readily accessible.
