Episode 31: Diet Culture-Questioning Both Sides of the Coin

Question everything. Even when you agree with someone or something, it is still healthy to question its foundation. Part of living a healthy lifestyle is to gain knowledge of what works for your own mind and body. In this episode, I discuss with Jessica my own uncertainty about a recent podcast I listened to by Christy Harrison, a licensed dietician and Intuitive Eating expert. In the beginning of her podcasts, Christy answers Q and A from listeners, and this particular one hit home with me and had me doubting her reasoning. It dealt with someone who was recovering from an eating disorder but also had Celiac Disease. As a mother of an 11-year-old girl with Celiac, I am very heightened about the disease and how it forces my daughter into a restrictive diet. But it's restrictive because her body requires gluten to be removed. Otherwise it physically harms her intestinal lining. What I heard had me definitely flipping the other side of the "intuitive eating" coin and recognize its flaws. It goes to show even the best of ideas can have their weak points. It's important we can recognize the weak points in things we hold near and dear, look at them objectively, and know how to incorporate our viewpoints into the theology. It doesn't mean you completely disagree with the ideology, but know how to adjust it to fit your own needs and beliefs.

If you are interested in learning more about Intuitive Eating, I highly recommend Christy's podcast, The Food Psych. She has some great guests and tons of pertinent information on how to fight today's Diet Culture.
