Intuitive Eating

If cookies, chips, or other foods seem to have way too much power over you, the problem may not be the food itself. Learn how food labels, guilt, and restriction create the very cycle you’re trying to escape, and what to do instead.

Ever felt “proud” for ordering the salad, or guilty after the fries? That’s not willpower talk, it’s diet culture living rent-free in your head. In this episode, Katy Harvey breaks down why moralizing food (calling it “good,” “bad,” “clean,” or “junk”) actually makes it more powerful over you, not less. Plus: a hard look at the wellness industry’s obsession with extreme thinness, and why “fit” doesn’t mean what influencer culture is selling you.

The more moral meaning we assign to food, the more power it has over us. This episode breaks down what food neutrality actually means (and doesn’t mean) so you can finally loosen food’s grip on your thoughts and choices.
