Eat Intuit

This is a return, not a brand new beginning. It’s not starting from scratch. It’s coming home to yourself.

This isn’t what you think. This isn’t another diet.This is something different entirely.

This is deeper than you think. This isn’t a surface-level change. This is a whole different way of relating.

There’s another way.

This isn't a goal you have to strive for any more. There is a different way.

You’ve been using the wrong tool for the job. This isn’t failure. It’s a mismatch.

This makes sense. This is what we're taught to do.

Learning something new can feel uncomfortable—especially when no one shows you how.

We’re taught to think of food as an object. Something we can minimize or optimize. The means to an end. Something that we simply use.

Diet Culture completely ignores the fact that we have a relationship with food.

Returning back to Intuitive Eating isn’t a matter of finding the right amount of the right foods to eat. It’s about healing that relationship. Repairing that friendship that we might’ve lost decades ago.

Of course it’s going to feel awkward and uncomfortable when we first start to rekindle that friendship. And it doesn’t happen overnight.

Feeling unanchored doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means the old rules aren’t running the show anymore.

As Mental Health Professionals, some of the most harmful messages we communicate… are the ones we don’t say out loud.

When we don’t name weight stigma — when we treat a client’s painful experience as a personal issue rather than a systemic one — our silence can unintentionally affirm Diet Culture’s loudest lie:

“Your body is the problem.”

But it’s not. The system is the problem. The anti-fat bias in our Diet Culture is the problem.

In my latest blog post, I break down how anti-fat bias sneaks into our language, our assumptions, and our silence — even when we’re trying to help.

If you’re a therapist committed to safer, more inclusive care, this is essential reading.

“Are we assuming we know what ‘health’ should look like for our clients?”

Most of us don’t mean to. But our training, our culture, and the constant noise of Diet Culture have taught us a very particular picture of “health”—one that often defaults to thinness, control, and optimization.

And unless we slow down and examine those assumptions, they slip into our questions… our encouragement… even our silence.

In my newest blog post, I explore how anti-fat bias gets wrapped inside the word ‘health’—and how it can quietly shape our clinical work, even when we believe we’re being supportive.

If you’re wanting to practice weight-inclusive care with more clarity, awareness, and compassion, this one’s for you. 💛
