Some women are earth shakers, and on this show, I'm grateful to speak with lots of them. In this case, there was a magnitude 5.3 earthquake while I was interviewing registered dietician and author, Elyse Resch. I think it was a sign! The earth shattering news that we're sharing with you is that it's time to stop feeling guilty about what you eat. It's time to exercise because you love your body, not because you hate it. About a year ago, I started listening to We Are Still Hungryand The BodyLove Project With Jessi Haggerty. From these podcasts, I began to learn more about fat phobia, body positivity, and Intuitive Eating. Elyse co-authored Intuitive Eatingwith Evelyn Tribole, and they've trained certified counselors in the practice, all over the world.

On this episode, we talk about how raise children who eat intuitively, how "clean eating" and 30 day restrictions are often coded forms of insidious diet culture, and the shame associated with certain foods can distort your perception of their healthfulness.

Because I hope you'll share the show with your friends, I'm running a give away. The lovely people at Panda Plannerhave given me some of my favorite planners to give to my listeners. I legitimately love these planners and attribute them to me keeping myself together this year. To enter, just post your favorite episode of The Enthusiasm Enthusiast on facebook, and tag me.
