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.
