Ep 118 – What Gym Bros Get Wrong About Intuitive Eating with Isa Robinson

Nicola Salmon — Wed, 13 May 2020 08:37:11 +0000

In this week’s episode my guest, Isa Robinson and I are digging into some of the common myths and misconceptions around Intuitive Eating – aka – what the gym bros get wrong. We get into the nuance and subtleties of IE as a practice and discuss why it’s so much more than the ‘hunger and fullness diet’.

Some of the topics we cover include:

Whether Intuitive Eating really means eating ‘junk’ food all day long
If Intuitive Eating is a ‘healthy’ way to lose weight
If you can still learn to eat intuitively when your hunger cues have been messed up by diets
If Intuitive Eating is compatible with a health condition
How to get past the fear that you will ‘freefall’ or ‘spiral’ with Intuitive Eating

Ep 117 – The Pressure to Raise ‘Perfect’ Eaters with Sarah Dempster

Nicola Salmon — Wed, 13 May 2020 08:30:52 +0000

This week we’re switching things up and talking about sexy things with Sex Educator, writer, and presenter Alix Fox. Alix is an advisor on the hit Netflix show ‘Sex Education’ and is giving us some BTS goss from the show, plus answering some listener questions on sex work and asexuality. Because this was such a massive ‘sode, we’ve broken it down into two parts – Alix will be back answering more listener Qs next week!

In this episode I’m being interviewed by friend and colleague Sarah Dempster about the pressure that parents face to raise ‘perfect’ eaters, from fertility and early pregnancy onwards.

In this episode we discuss:

✨The messages we receive around nutrition and how these can add to the idea that there is a right and wrong way to eat for conception, pregnancy and beyond

✨Why feeding littles can be such an emotive topic

✨Why it’s not your fault if your kid suddenly stops eating certain foods

✨ The long-term repercussions of such an intense focus on ‘perfect’ eating in childhood

✨ Why using food to soothe can be part of your emotional coping toolkit

✨Why we need to be critical about the messages we share around food and nutrition

✨ Why we need more person-centred care in nutrition and dietetics

✨ Sofie’s relationship with food growing up + her ED history
✨ Her inability to respect authority + how that was key to learning to love her body
✨ Acknowledging the privilege of being able to question authority + rules
✨ How emotional + physical deprivation + food insecurity can still influence our relationship/behaviour to food
✨ Sofie’s new book + mega stand-up show
✨ The need for self care measures to be in place whilst doing work on your relationship with food + body image
