Ep 128 - How To Just Eat It - Chapter 8: Mindful Eating and Finding Pleasure in Food

Don't Salt My Game | With Laura Thomas, PhD

Welcome to this special series of Don’t Salt My Game celebrating the release of my new book How to Just Eat It. For the next several weeks, I’ll be posting two new episodes of the podcast (Tuesdays and Fridays) that correspond with a chapter of the book to help you take your learning further and deepen your intuitive eating practice. How To Just Eat It is out now! Episode 9 of this series will drop on Tuesday 2nd Feb!

In today’s episode I’m talking to Jenna Hollenstein (MS, RDN, CDN). Jenna is an anti-diet dietitian who helps heal disordered eating using a combination of Intuitive Eating, mindfulness techniques, and meditation to help her clients move toward greater peace, health, and wellness. In this episode we’re talking about why the pursuit of weight loss is antithetical to Mindful Eating & Intuitive Eating, what Mindful Eating actually is (and what it isn’t) and how you can start to practice it in your daily life.

In this episode we talk about:

• How Diet Culture has co opted Mindful Eating
• Why Mindfulness practice and weight loss are incompatible
• What Mindfulness really is
• Acknowledging our thoughts in the moment
• Meditation
• Breath awareness
• Regaining trust in our own bodies
• Is your desire to be vegan coming from a place of control or compassion

Jenna shares her experience, expertise and advice on how to incorporate Mindfulness into our daily lives to help support our Intuitive Eating practices.
