Food Intuition and Disordered Societal Eating with Alyssa Callahan Registered Dietitian: Ep37

  • By Maranda Bower
  • In All Posts, Mental Health, Nutrition, Podcasts, Well-Being

Food trauma and eating disorders in postpartum are becoming more and more prevalent.

It is time we take notice and realize that the first step to nourishing not only our body but also to nourishing our mind and soul, is through food.

In this interview with Alyssa Callahan, we are going to talk about re-learning to listen to our body and trust our intuition in order to really move forward and nourish our bodies. We also discuss food trauma and disordered eating in postpartum.

Big, heavy topics that can feel hard to address.

Alyssa is a registered dietician, nutritionist.

She’s a certified Intuitive Eating counselor, author of the mindful eating journal, and founder and CEO of nourished with kindness.

Whether you’re listening as a  professional in this space, serving your clients into motherhood and postpartum, or a new Mama in postpartum, or just someone who loves and cares about a woman that is a mother in their life.

These things are incredibly popular and common, within our clients and within all of our own journeys, and it is so important to learn how to continue breaking the barriers to discover intuition and how to use that with food and beyond.

Be sure to listen and leave a review, then head over to join us in The Postpartum Circle Facebook group.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK! Hormones are LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK! 

Hormones are NOT the ROOT CAUSE of dysregulation and imbalance postpartum! 

NUTRITION provides the building blocks for healthy hormone production. 

Poor gut health and lack of nutrients are precursors for depression and anxiety. 

Many of the mothers we serve in the postpartum period have just spent many months growing a baby. 

And many of them come to us with life and birth trauma that has their nervous system running on high, depleting them of energy and nutrients. 

Not only did your clients grow a baby, birth a baby, and nourish a baby after birth, but the digestive tract of a postpartum mother changed to accommodate healing her body from all that growing, birthing, and nourishing.

That means that after birth, the ability to digest and absorb nutrients lessens significantly. 

This is WHY so many cultures around the world have diets specific to postpartum, to help with this dilemma while simultaneously nourishing her every physical and emotional need.

If you are a provider and you’re not supporting your clients with at least sharing the significance of nutrient repletion (and therefore emotional and mental support), your clients are missing out considerably.

Inside Postpartum University, we're shaking up the system and giving providers the tools they need to support women in taking back control of their healing and recovery.
