one thing that really gets under my skin with the intuitive eating movement is that sometimes it's

perceived as the junk food diet or if it's not perceived as the junk food diet individuals who are

pursuing intuitive eating and healing their relationship with food can sometimes get these messages

that that they should honor every single craving and what can feel really scary for those

who are new to intuitive eating is that they often crave a single craving. And what can feel really scary for those who are new to

intuitive eating is that they often crave a ton of highly palatable junk food. And so inadvertently,

they might get this message or feeling that if they desire to eat well-balanced, nourishing

nutrient-rich meals, somehow that's related to diet culture, and then they should feel guilty

because that's a form of restriction. And what I want to talk about today, and I'm so excited because

we have an integrative nutritionist who's coming on to talk about this, is how we can integrate

gentle nutrition, which is one of the principles of intuitive eating that says we gently guide

ourselves in the direction of, yes, honoring our cravings, but also

honoring our health and making sure that we're getting the vitamins and minerals and nutrients

that support living a long and healthy lifestyle. So today I'm joined on the podcast by Courtney

from Real Foodology. Like I said, she's an integrative nutritionist, and she's on a mission

to change America's broken food

system and to teach her 100,000 plus Instagram followers what it means to be healthy,

to eat well, to understand the dirty practices of the food industry, and to honor your

mental health in the process.

I think you will be very encouraged and very educated by what Courtney

has to share about incorporating gentle nutrition, especially if you come from a past of

disordered eating. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. All right, Courtney, so I would love for you to share
