Episode 3017: Stefanie Bonastia challenges the myth that Intuitive Eating sacrifices health by revealing how tuning into hunger and fullness cues actually improved her well-being, mentally and physically. Her insights unpack how rejecting diet culture can reduce anxiety, increase life satisfaction, and foster balanced, sustainable habits rooted in self-trust and body respect. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.jessikneeland.com/post/does-intuitive-eating-ignore-health Quotes to ponder: "I used to believe that if I gave up dieting and tried Intuitive Eating, I would eat ice cream and sugary cereal for the rest of my life." "The honeymoon period of Intuitive Eating is a means to an end." "Eating intuitively is a process of learning, but mostly of unlearning years and years of believing that we can’t trust ourselves."
