#133: Q&A on Food Addiction, Managing IBS, and Celiac Disease

Sep 16

In this episode...

We discuss whether food addiction is real: how to navigate that feeling through the lens of body autonomy and self-compassion, and the role that diet culture and anti-fat bias play in cultural assumptions about eating behaviors.
We also go deep on IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and how to manage symptoms without a restrictive mindset, and without falling prey to the plethora of advice for digestive issues that trigger disordered eating.
Celiac disease also comes up in this episode as part of the discussion around digestive issues, and what we can do to cope with true allergies and intolerances (especially when it feels eerily similar to dieting).
Finally, we start a conversation around body grief in photos, and will return in a future episode to go even further on this topic.

We really hope you enjoy this amazing conversation with beloved supporters of the show. It was so fun to have folks join live, and we'll be doing this again soon!
