Ep. 91: Intuitive Eating with Evelyn Tribole
Welcome to another episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit podcast. This week’s podcast episode is very dear to my heart. My intention with this podcast is to give you all some direction with food and body, specifically if you struggle with immense fear around food. This week’s episode has the most amazing guest, Evelyn Tribole, the author of Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works.
In this week’s interview, we break down some of the barriers between fear and food. Evelyn does a great job at identifying why there is so much fear surrounding food, addressing societal, cultural and familial rules around food. We discussed how, for many, food creates anxiety for us personally, or how our anxiety manifests a bad relationship with food.
Evelyn Tribole discusses :
- What is Intuitive Eating?
- Why is Intuitive Eating so important?
- What is diet culture and why is it such an important concept to understand?
- What happens when you don’t Intuitively Eat?
Evelyn also answers some questions given specifically by the CBT School family. Here are a few questions she addressed:
- How can I introduce myself to Intuitive Eating?
