Food Intuition and Disordered Societal Eating with Alyssa Callahan Registered Dietitian: Ep 37

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.
