Want to feel less anxious about what you eat and heal your relationship with food?
Feeling stressed about what to eat rarely comes from not knowing what healthy it is. In fact, if you’re like many women in midlife, you’ve spent decades researching the best diet for health, fitness, and weight loss. But if you already know how you’re “supposed to eat” why not do that every day?
Stress and anxiety often get in the way of creating a healthy relationship with food
They also limit your ability to care for yourself in ways that you want – like eating more vegetables, for example.
In this Savor Food and Body Podcast episode, I’m talking with Tracy Brown RD. Tracy is a trauma-informed, non-diet nutrition therapist who helps people understand why chronic dieting, body image issues, and food struggles are related to how they cope with stress.
This conversation will help you stop relying on diet culture for self-worth and have more agency with food and your body. Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Tracy explains what major and minor trauma is and how you can experience both in your body.
- How are trauma and diet culture influence each other, especially for women in midlife
- As a somatic nutrition and body image coach, Tracy explains what Polyvagal Theory and Window of Tolerance are and how they relate to your relationships with food and body.
- How understanding your nervous systems can help you respond to the ups and downs of midlife with more compassion and ease?
- Finally, Tracy shares how you can begin to grow your window of tolerance and thrive in midlife.
