Summary

Do you have a nutrition-linked health condition? Then you won't want to miss this week's episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, where you'll hear the story of 44-year old Aldona from the Netherlands.
 
Ten years ago, Aldona was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, a diagnosis that affects an estimated 20 million people in the U.S. alone. When she was newly diagnosed, Aldona tried to heal her condition with high-quality foods. She has tried many diet approaches, like Paleo, and has done strict elimination diets in an attempt to see which foods might be most problematic.
 
Unfortunately, none of her attempts have improved her Hashimoto's. And now, to complicate things, Aldona has developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which she attributes to the stress of trying to manage her Hashimoto's. Never having experienced digestive issues or food intolerances before, Aldona has become stressed out and very confused about what to eat. In her words, she no longer trusts her instincts about which foods are best for her.
 
In their coaching session, master eating psychology coach Marc David helps Aldona look beyond nutritional solutions. How are these conditions asking Aldona to transform as a human being? How can she learn to quiet her mind, and tune into what her body needs? In what ways can she discover how to live with these conditions, while improving her quality of life and nurturing herself along the way?

Welcome, everybody. I'm Mark David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

We are in the Psychology of Eating podcast, and I'm with Aldana today. Welcome, Al Dada.

Thank you very much, Mark. I'm very happy to be here with you today. Thank you.

Yes, I'm so glad you're here. And, you know, for people who are new to the Psychology of Eating podcast, what we'll be doing today is this is like a client session. And I'll be asking

and any challenges with relationship with food and body. So Al Donna, if you could wave your magic wand

1:03.7

and get whatever you wanted with food or body, what would that be for you? I think that would

1:10.4

be the piece that everybody is talking about when it comes to food and

1:17.2

body.

1:18.4

But in particular, I would like to be able to trust myself when it comes to food choices, what I'm eating. And it has become very

1:34.0

difficult for me because I've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's about 10 years ago. And back

1:40.8

then I started my journey with food. I was trying to heal myself with food.

1:48.0

But to make a long story short at the introduction, it took me now to the point where I am stressed whenever I eat

1:59.0

because I don't know anymore whether this what I'm eating is helping me or it's actually, you know, harming me.

2:06.7

I'm completely confused when it comes to food and eating.

2:10.7

I've done paleo diets and elimination of blood and dairy for years.

2:19.9

And I actually think that all those eliminations harm me more than help me.
