101. From Diet Culture to Intuitive Eating: Amy's Journey to Health and Wellness

Are you trapped in the cycle of diet culutre, but are curious to take the leap to intuitive eating? In this episode, we are joined by Amy Thomas about her journey from just that!

Amy Thomas shares her powerful story of transitioning from the pressures of diet culture to embracing intuitive eating. We chat about Amy's resilience, self-discovery, and breaking free from the societal expectations that many of us struggle with when it comes to our body image and diets. 

Amy has worked with Maria, Tara and Elizabeth in different capacities, and shares her experience with them as well.

• The emotional impact of diet culture and how it affects body image and self-worth.
• Discovering intuitive eating and how it differs from mindful eating.
• The role of professionals in supporting a healthier relationship with food and body image.
• The importance of focusing on strength and ability in fitness rather than just weight loss.
