0:00.0	Welcome to episode 417 of Find Your Food Voice. Today we're talking binge eating after betrayal,
0:06.7	heartbreak, and big life transitions with guest dietitian Katie Harvey. Let's get to it.
0:13.9	Hey there, dear Voicefinder. I am Julie Duffy Dillon, registered dietitian, and your host of the Find
0:20.1	Your Food Voice podcast. I welcome anyone
0:23.3	who feels like they have a messy, complicated, and maybe even fucked up relationship with food.
0:29.5	This is the place where we help you uncomplicated and really identify what's pushing you to have
0:35.9	this chaotic relationship with food. It's based on
0:39.1	over 20 years working with clients as a dietitian. And I also have a book with the same name,
0:45.3	Find Your Food Voice. So if you are looking for more tools, this podcast is it, my book is it.
0:50.9	Again, you can get my book anywhere books are sold or in the link below. Today's
0:55.4	episode is very special because not only do we have a guest, we have Katie Harvey, who is a
0:59.5	dietitian that helps people also with a complicated relationship with food, but it's also a
1:04.4	letter episode. So the Find Your Food Voice podcast has been based on listener letters. Listeners just like you who
1:11.7	outline their complicated relationship with food and they address food in a letter where they
1:16.7	break down all the things that are hard. And me and sometimes a guest, well, we sift through it.
1:22.1	And that's what Katie and I are doing today. And if you like this letter format, two things for you.
1:27.1	One, my book, every chapter starts
1:29.1	with a letter, and every chapter ends with a letter back from food, just like this episode
1:33.5	will today. And I need more letters for this season of the podcast. So send them my way.
1:40.6	I'll put a link in the show notes for you to be able to do that. It's really easy.
1:50.1	And there are really no rules. You can just write whatever you want. And I hope to answer your letter very, very soon. So we are going to hear this episode's letter after a very quick
1:56.7	sponsor break. All right. Let's hear this episode's letter.
