Healing Through Intuitive Eating: Kathianne Sellers Williams on The Well-Tended Life Podcast
It's not about what you eat, it's about why you're eating. Diets don't work. Dieting is actually a predictor of weight gain.
Ever wonder why you reach for that extra snack when you're not even hungry? In this episode of 'The Well-Tended Life Podcast', host Keri Wilt sits down with Kathianne Sellers Williams, a seasoned non-diet dietitian with over 25 years of experience. Kathianne delves into the deep-seated reasons behind our eating habits, emphasizing that it's not about what we eat, but why we're eating in the first place.
She sheds light on how many eating issues are rooted in trauma and how our belief systems, often unnoticed, shape our relationship with food. Kathianne encourages listeners to create a body image timeline, tracing back to the first moments they started thinking about their bodies or hearing comments about them.
