Welcome back to Rebuilding Trust With Your Body
Why do I still feel out of control around food – even though I’m not dieting anymore? If that question sounds familiar, you’re not alone. This conversation is for anyone stuck in that confusing in-between space, where you’re technically not following food rules anymore, but still don’t feel at peace with food.
This powerful episode unpacks why so many women continue to feel obsessed, chaotic, or guilty around food long after they’ve stopped dieting. Katy explores the subtle ways diet culture can linger in your thoughts, how “performative permission” to eat might be holding you back, and what it really means to rebuild self-trust with food.
Whether you’re stuck in the “I’m not dieting, but still obsessing” phase or just need reassurance that you’re not alone, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a real path forward.
Here’s what we’re diving into:
- The sneaky ways diet culture lives on in your thoughts and food guilt
- Why you might still feel addicted to food even when you’re eating what you want
- The difference between real permission to eat and performative permission
- How to rebuild self-trust with food when you still feel like you can’t be trusted
Wellness Woo of the Week: Heart & Soil Supplements
After receiving a DM inviting her to become an affiliate for Heart & Soil supplements, Katy took a closer look at the company, and what she found was peak wellness woo. Founded by “Carnivore MD” Paul Saladino (who no longer follows his own extreme diet), the brand promotes pricey organ-based supplements with bold claims about curing everything from infertility to autoimmune disease, all under the guise of “ancestral wisdom.”
Katy breaks it all down with clarity, exposing the red flags behind the marketing and highlighting the real risks of falling for pseudoscientific wellness trends.
