From Diet Culture to Intuitive Eating: Amy's Journey to Health and Wellness

Written By Elizabeth Harris

Are you trapped in the cycle of diet culture, but nervous about taking the leap into Intuitive Eating? In this episode, we’re joined by Amy Thomas, who’s been in that same spot. Join us as Amy pulls back the curtain and shares how her Intuitive Eating journey unfolded.

Amy shares her powerful story of transitioning from the pressures of diet culture to embracing intuitive eating. We chat about resilience, self-discovery, and breaking free from the societal expectations that many of us struggle with when it comes to our body image and diets. 

Amy has worked with Maria, Tara and Elizabeth in different capacities, and shares her experience with them as well. 

In this episode:

  • The emotional impact of diet culture and how it affects body image and self-worth.

  • Discovering intuitive eating and how it differs from mindful eating.

  • The role of professionals in supporting a healthier relationship with food and body image.

  • The importance of focusing on strength and ability in fitness rather than just weight loss.

  • Tips for those feeling overwhelmed or stuck in their health journey.
