Welcome to Food Psych, a podcast dedicated to critiquing diet and wellness culture

and answering your questions about intuitive eating and the anti-diet approach.

I'm your host christieherison and I'm a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor,

journalist and author of the book's anti-diet which is available now,

and the wellness trap which will be out in early 2023.

And by the way, on this show I avoid saying diet culture stuff like weight and calorie numbers,

but we don't censor swear words or other adult language so listener discretion is advised.

I've gotten from many people over the years about emotional eating or should I say so-called emotional eating actually.

This is a topic that comes up a lot because so many people see themselves as emotional eaters

and I know I very much did too back in my disordered eating days a decade or two decades ago.

But as we'll discuss quote-unquote emotional eating actually isn't what it seems

and identifying as an emotional eater can actually be a clue that something else might be going on.

So before I get into all that though just a couple of quick announcements.

As I mentioned last week I'm going to be making some changes to my intuitive eating fundamentals course

which I've been doing for more than six years now, which is just so mind blowing to me.

So with all the changes in my life now that I've had a baby,

the course is going to be changing a bit too.
