In this episode, we take a closer look at what it truly means to understand and honor hunger. Diet culture has taught many of us to silence or question our body’s cues, leaving us disconnected from one of the most natural parts of being human. You’ll also hear how Scripture can help reshape the way we view hunger, reminding us that it is not something to fear or suppress but a natural and meaningful part of how God designed our bodies. This conversation is an invitation to approach your body with curiosity, grace, and gratitude as you grow in both faith and food freedom.

In this episode, you'll hear about how...

• Hunger is the starting point of our eating
• Diet culture teaches us to mistrust our hunger
• Reconnecting with hunger cues is essential for eating disorder recovery
• Ignoring hunger can lead to a disconnection from our bodies and slow metabolism
• Scripture supports the idea that our bodies are good and designed by God
