“Food is bio-psycho-social. It is so much more than just fuel. And so sometimes we make decisions that are ultimately for the best of our physical selves. And sometimes we make choices for our mental-emotional selves.” Tune in as I sit down with Dr. Jillian Murphy, who has been a leading voice in the anti-diet, weight-inclusive world for over a decade as we discuss body positivity, bridging functional medicine & intuitive eating, and the relationship between weight & health.

We don’t have the same energy requirements every day. We actually have incredibly varied caloric needs.”
