Hey there, and welcome back to Rebuilding Trust with Your Body! In this special Thanksgiving episode, I dive into how to enjoy holiday foods, like pie, without guilt. With the holiday season in full swing, it’s easy to fall back into old habits driven by diet culture. But this year, let’s break free from that cycle and reclaim the joy of food without shame or guilt. Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving or simply navigating the busy season, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you embrace the foods you love while staying true to your body’s needs.

We Discuss:

• The Guilt of Holiday Foods: A personal story about the pressure to “be good” during the holidays, how many of us have been the person who skips dessert to appear health-conscious, and the guilt that often accompanies indulging in holiday treats. This segment explores the emotional and physical toll of diet culture, especially around family gatherings.
• Wellness Woo Segment – Collagen Supplements: Collagen supplements are a popular wellness trend, but do they live up to the hype? We break down the claims behind collagen, separate fact from fiction, and discuss why focusing on whole foods is a better approach to health than falling for marketing exaggerations.
• Giving Yourself Permission to Eat: Permission to eat doesn’t mean a free-for-all — it’s about choosing foods without moral judgment. We dive into the concept of “food neutrality,” explaining how giving yourself the freedom to enjoy the foods you love can help you break free from guilt and dieting, and learn to trust your body’s cues.
• The Damage of Food Guilt: Guilt around food can trap you in a restrict-binge cycle that creates an unhealthy relationship with eating. In this section, we discuss how letting go of food guilt can help you find peace, honor your hunger and fullness cues, and reduce anxiety around food.
• Practical Tips for Enjoying Holiday Foods Without Guilt: This episode offers actionable tips for navigating the holiday season without falling into diet culture traps. Learn how to shift your mindset, listen to your body, and handle social pressure around food. We also highlight a free resource — the Holiday Intuitive Eating Guide — to help you use intuitive eating during your holiday celebrations.
• Real-Life Stories: Hear a success story from someone who embraced intuitive eating for the first time this holiday season. This person shares how they felt empowered to listen to their body and approach holiday foods with curiosity and freedom, rather than restriction.
