Summary

As women who’ve grown up steeped in diet culture, we often give away our agency to books, apps, and strict food rules rather than trusting ourselves to know what to eat and what our bodies need. During menopause, when our bodies are changing, we can doubledown on those rules, making life harder. This week we talk about ditching diets and restrictive rules and using our knowledge and intuition to find food freedom and a whole lot more joy with Intuitive Eating Coach Pam Moore.

Pam Moore is a journalist and an occupational therapist-turned-award-winning intuitive eating coach. Her writing has appeared in outlets including The Washington Post, Runner's World, SELF, and many others. Also a certified personal trainer, six-time marathoner, and two-time Ironman finisher, Pam is the creator of the Real Nourished newsletter, where she shares evidence-based tips to help women detach their weight from their worth, and the Real Fit podcast, featuring conversations with women athletes about body image, "enoughness", and more.

0:29.7	Hello, strong feisty women.
0:32.7	So, anyone who has listened to this show for any length of time or followed me during my bicycling years
0:39.2	knows that over the years I have had a rocky relationship with eating and disordered eating
0:44.5	and in my younger years outright eating disorders. And over the years I have worked diligently
0:51.1	on improving my relationship with food. But it's not been easy. And for lots of years,
0:56.5	there were still forbidden foods that I would not allow in the house because I have worked from
1:02.2	home for decades, and I just didn't trust myself with them. Well, the reason I couldn't trust

1:17.1	point or another, only, of course, to scold myself and start the cycle all over again. At some point,
1:24.7	I reached a point where I said, enough. I have been an athlete on my life. I've been
1:31.8	writing about nutrition and training forever. I knew what my body needed. I needed to trust that.
1:39.0	And I did. And I discovered that when I ate when I was hungry and really truly fed myself, instead of
1:46.6	wondering how little food I could get away with, I stopped going off the rails.
1:52.0	I stopped obsessing about food.
1:54.7	Hell, I barely think about food these days, and when I do, it's all positive.
1:59.3	I can have a wall full of Nutella and walk right by it
