Meet Katy


In this episode of The Rebuilding Trust With Your Body, host Katy Harvey explores the whimsical world of food relationships, inspired by recent chats with listeners about the mysterious “gloom” some feel toward fruits and veggies. You’re not alone if those healthy foods just don’t spark joy! Katy introduces the idea of transforming this “gloom” into a glorious “bloom,” encouraging a fresh perspective on produce without the pressure to eat them. 

Instead of choking down bland celery sticks, think roasted broccoli drizzled with olive oil or a delightful fruit crisp for dessert! It’s all about experimenting with flavors—dipping carrots in ranch or topping ice cream with strawberries—while starting small and planning ahead to make eating feel fun and fulfilling. Embrace curiosity, enjoy the process, and make peace with those “gloomy” foods, rediscovering the joy in every bite.

Key Topics:

  • Reclaiming the enjoyment of fruits and veggies from the constraints of diet culture
  • The essential mindset shift needed to appreciate fruits and veggies as nourishing, enjoyable foods
  • Practical strategies for incorporating fruits and veggies into your meals without falling into old dieting patterns
