Food Freedom and Mental Health
Today's interview is with dietetic intern and food freedom coach Olivia Laughman. Liv and I discuss all the ways food freedom and intuitive eating interacts with mental health - from emotional eating to perfectionism to even what emotions tend to come up when moving away from diet culture. Scroll down to find specific topics and jump to that time in the episode. As always, nutrition does not heal mental health; however, it can support the management of symptoms.
