| 0:00.0 | This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. |
| 0:18.4 | Hello, everybody. I will admit that I, and I suspect I'm not alone in this, have the potential to get pretty dysregulated around food and body image. A lot of men don't like talking about this stuff, but there's plenty of evidence that this is truly a unisex issue, especially during the holidays when we're all surrounded by treats and stress eating because either we can't see our family or we can see our family and they're making us crazy. |
| 0:43.4 | This interview you're about to hear changed my life. |
| 0:46.8 | That is an overused phrase, but in this case it is genuinely true. |
| 0:50.1 | I came into this conversation and you'll hear this. |
| 0:52.1 | I came in with a somewhat hostile attitude toward my own body filled with, you know, not so realistic expectations and unsustainable restrictions, et cetera. |
| 1:02.0 | But over the course of this interview, you will hear in real time as my mind starts to change. |
| 1:08.0 | Ever since we recorded this back in 2020, I've been working one-on-one with my guest, |
| 1:12.8 | Evelyn Tribbley, on these issues. Evelyn is the co-creator of something called intuitive eating, |
| 1:17.8 | which you can think of as a kind of anti-diet. D diets, she argues, do not work. Worse, they |
| 1:23.8 | lead us to mistrust our body. So when we misread the signals that our bodies are sending to us, |
| 1:28.6 | we don't actually know when we're hungry or when we're full. Her approach, Evelyn's approach, |
| 1:33.9 | is backed by science and powered by mindfulness. One quick note before we dive in, this episode is |
| 1:39.8 | part of our end of the year deep cuts series meant to provide you a measure of sanity as you navigate |
| 1:46.1 | the holidays. |
| 1:47.5 | Before we dive in, just to say we've got some exciting things happening in the 10% happier |
| 1:52.7 | universe, we are now offering bespoke guided meditations to go with every podcast episode. |
| 2:00.4 | Those meditations will be guided by a teacher |
| 2:03.4 | of the month, all people who you know from the 10% cinematic universe, people who have been |
| 2:08.7 | on this podcast before. I like to think of the podcast as the lecture and then the guided meditations |
| 2:14.8 | as the lab. These meditations are available only for paid subscribers over at danharris.com. |
| 2:21.2 | So put on your lab goggles and let's improve your neurons. |
