Summary
Welcome to another episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit podcast. This week’s podcast episode is very dear to my heart. My intention with this podcast is to give you all some direction with food and body, specifically if you struggle with immense fear around food. This week’s episode has the most amazing guest, Evelyn Tribole, the author of Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works.
In this week’s interview, we break down some of the barriers between fear and food. Evelyn does a great job at identifying why there is so much fear surrounding food, addressing societal, cultural and familial rules around food. We discussed how, for many, food creates anxiety for us personally, or how our anxiety manifests a bad relationship with food.
Evelyn Tribole discusses :
- What is Intuitive Eating?
- Why is Intuitive Eating so important?
- What is diet culture and why is it such an important concept to understand?
- What happens when you don't Intuitively Eat?
Evelyn also answers some questions given specifically by the CBT School family. Here are a few questions she addressed:
- How can I introduce myself to Intuitive Eating?
- What are the steps of Intuitive Eating?
- How do I avoid the extremes of eating? I am either eating “too unhealthy and too healthy as a compulsion.”
- How do I address Emotional Eating or “bad” eating because of a hard day?
- How do I attempt Intuitive Eating if I HAVE to lose weight because of health reasons?
- How do I manage the fear of gaining more weight?
- How do you make all foods neutral whilst also finding joy in food?
- How do I not get trapped in diet culture?
- How long does it take to get a good handle of Intuitive Eating?
- How do I begin to desire and have the persistence to intuitively eat while having an Eating Disorder?
- Due to mood changes, how can I eat when I don’t want to?
- What is the best way to stick with Intuitive Eating?
- What is the best way to approach Nutrition for Anxiety Disorder?
- How does Anxiety impact hunger cues. etc.?
- How do I address Avoidant and Restrictive Food Intake Disorder?

| 0:00.0 | This is Your Anxiety Toolkit episode number 91. |
| 0:10.0 | Welcome to Your Anxiety Toolkit. I'm your host, Kimberly Quinlan. This podcast is fueled by three |
| 0:17.0 | main goals. The first goal is to provide you with some extra tools to help you manage your |
| 0:22.2 | anxiety. Second goal, to inspire you. Anxiety doesn't get to decide how you live your life. And number |
| 0:29.7 | three, and I leave the best for last, is to provide you with one big, fat virtual hug, because |
| 0:36.8 | experiencing anxiety ain't easy. |
| 0:39.1 | If that sounds good to you, let's go. |
| 0:45.8 | Welcome back CBT school family. |
| 0:48.4 | I am so thrilled to have you here today. |
| 0:51.6 | Today is a big, big day for me and for you and for all of us. And the reason |
| 0:59.9 | I believe that is because today we have an episode, an interview with probably one of the top |
| 1:08.4 | five people who influenced my life, I would say. And I am so thrilled to have |
| 1:13.9 | her on. But I'm not going to tell you just yet. The reason I'm not going to tell you is I really want |
| 1:18.2 | to give you some context as to why this episode is so important to me. Okay. So many of you already know my own personal struggle with |
| 1:32.1 | disordered eating, eating disorder, so much fear and dread and panic and obsessions and |
| 1:41.4 | compulsions around food and exercise. |
| 1:45.0 | And I feel comfortable saying I think that many of us on a spectrum struggle with this one issue. |
| 1:56.0 | I think that the fear we experience around food is such a huge part of our own relationship with |
| 2:05.3 | ourselves and us trusting ourselves and us having peace with who we are in our body, |
| 2:13.9 | the body that carries us around every day. |
| 2:17.0 | And I feel like so many of us, we have been built, |
