264. Finding Balance with "Healthy" and "Junk" Food, Weighing Yourself, and My Missing Period Story (Q&A)

"Creating a more positive relationship with food often requires us to challenge the things diet culture has taught us to normalize."

Diet culture leaves us with so many questions, especially when we're trying to heal our relationship with food and our bodies. In this Q&A episode, I'm answering three questions from Rebels in our community about balancing "healthy" and "junk" foods, my experience with hypothalamic amenorrhea, and how to stop letting the number on the scale control your thoughts and food choices. You'll hear practical mindset shifts that can help you build more trust with your body and challenge the beliefs diet culture has taught us to accept as normal!
