I can guess that if you follow my content, you believe that health is crucial for feeling well and is your best chance at being happy long-term. And now there’s a battle going on in your mind: your biology vs. nutrition science. Your definition of being healthy means to eat well, sleep well, move the body, and have a spiritual practice – all while having some fun. But the fragile balance between those things feels impossible to manage. You keep swinging between phases of being ‘really good’ and ‘really bad’. You have moments where you can control your cravings with relative ease, but eventually willpower runs out and so you have to cut things out so you can get back to 0. Sometimes you avoid sugar, sometimes alcohol, sometimes dairy, sometimes gluten. And it’s pretty hard to have fun when your life revolves around these ever-evolving rules. You look forward to hanging out with your friends, but when you do, you’re spending more time in your head planning what you will and won’t allow yourself to eat, than spending time being present with the people in front of you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why you’re not broken for thinking about food 24/7
- Why eating healthy doesn’t require mental gymnastics
- The physiological effects of mental & physical food restriction
- How to get off the all or nothing cycle and eat in a truly balanced (not diet culture) way
