Summary

f you have a chronic health condition, then you know how extra difficult it is to navigate food and body-image struggles. Between wellness culture telling you to cut out this or that food and lose weight for “health reasons,” it can be triggering to manage your symptoms without slipping back into a restrictive mindset. And the worst part is, even medical professionals prescribe dietary restrictions without screening patients for a history of disordered eating. So is food freedom possible even while living with chronic illness? Nutritionist Abbie Attwood is here to help. You will learn... - how to challenge diet and weight-centric medical advice - practical tips for finding p eace with your body amidst chronic pain and symptoms - how to approach food with conditions like PCOS, Celiacs, Chrons, IBS, diabetes, and autoimmune illnesses Remember: Your body deserves COMPASSION even and especially in the face of chronic health challenges.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mary's Cup of Tea, the self-love podcast for women, though all self-lovers are welcome here.
0:07.1	I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky. I'm an author, speaker, retreat leader, and all-around
0:12.7	self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:20.0	Hello, self-lover. Before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make
0:24.5	sure you know about my two books on self-love. If you're struggling with body image or self-acceptance,
0:30.3	then I highly recommend you check out my first book, The Gift of Self-Love. It's a comprehensive
0:35.2	workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth,
0:38.8	and learn to love who you are. Thousands of people have this book and the five-star reviews are so
0:44.5	amazing. They give me so much life, so I hope that this is something that can help you too. You can get

1:18.7	areas of life, including body, identity, purpose, emotions, mindset, relationships, and more.
1:25.6	So you can really think of it as a metaphorical multivitamin, something to keep you going,
1:30.3	or as I like to say, growing on your self-love journey.
1:33.5	You can get this journal wherever books are sold as well by searching for 100 days of
1:37.5	self-love or go to Mary's Cup of Tea.com slash journal.
1:41.3	It's my mission to share all the self-love tea with you, so I hope that both my books and this
1:46.0	podcast can do just that.
1:53.6	If you have a condition like PCOS, celiacs, Crohn's, IBS, any kind of food intolerances or allergies, diabetes, or perhaps an
