Welcome to another episode of Rebuilding Trust With Your Body! Whether you’re celebrating or just soaking in the season, I’m so glad you’re here. Today, we’re talking about the classic tug-of-war many of us face with food—the “angel” and “devil” on your shoulder. One voice says to follow all the rules, while the other tempts you to rebel, leaving you confused and guilty. If you’ve ever felt stuck in this back-and-forth, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’ll dive into how to recognize these voices and start tuning into your True Self—the voice that brings balance and peace to your relationship with food.

We Discuss:

• The “Angel and Devil” Struggle:
  You know that back-and-forth in your head, right? One voice says “be good” with food, and the other says, “Just eat what you want!” This is the angel and devil dynamic. Recognizing these voices as part of the Food Police is the first step in taking back control over your food choices.
• The Food Police:
  Whether it’s your own rules or society’s pressures, these voices keep you stuck in guilt and restriction. Intuitive eating helps you challenge these voices and break free from the cycle of judgment and rebellion.
• Your True Self:
  Your True Self is the calm, wise voice that knows what your body truly needs. It’s not about perfection—it’s about listening to your body with compassion and balance, not following external rules or extremes.
• Wellness Woo—Bone Broth:
  Bone broth has been hyped as a “superfood,” but the claims around it—like boosting immunity—don’t hold up. While it’s fine in moderation, it’s not a miracle food. Focus on variety and balance in your diet instead.
