Intuitive Eating With Unavoidable Dietary Restrictions and Breaking Down Diet Culture With Lauren Hansen

Lauren uses her own personal experience to drive her passion for intuitive eating and helping others while pursuing her PhD for counseling and as an intuitive eating coach.  She breaks down the rules that society has established that creates warped views in our mind of how things should be and what we think we need to do to be 'healthy'. Intuitive eating isn't just eating to stay alive but also enjoying food and nourishing the body and soul. Lauren creates a space where we can free ourselves of rules about food and give ourselves "unconditional permission to eat" because the body will always  tell you what it needs if we listen. We talk about the one size fits all movement and how being skinny doesn't equate to being healthy.  Lauren also explains how her viewpoint has changed over time and she has gone deeper into intuitive eating and the emotions behind why we do what we do.  We also dive into how food rules affect our daily lives and how to find freedom in life and enjoy food without the baggage that comes along with it.   You can find Lauren on Instagram  @living.as.lauren  And also on her website and blog with posts and resources: https://www.liveasyouwellness.com/
