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 8 of this series will drop on Friday 29th Jan!

In today’s episode I’m talking to Devinia Noel, a cognitive behavioural therapist and certified intuitive eating counsellor. In this episode we’re talking about unhelpful thinking styles that show up when we’re working through the intuitive eating process, how we can recognise them and how we can begin to shift them towards more flexible ways of thinking.

In this episode we talk about:

• Black and white, all-or-nothing thinking
• Mental filters
• Catastrophization
• Emotional reasoning 
• Jumping to conclusions
• Compare and despair 
• Labelling
• Should and must statements

Dee shares how we can notice when unhelpful thinking styles show up and how we can begin to reframe them towards thinking patterns that move us away from diet mentality and towards self-compassion.

In this episode we’re talking about fears people have when they embark on intuitive eating and letting go of food rules, plus unpacking some of the most common food rules we hear in our nutrition practices.  

In this episode we talk about:

Common fears people have about Intuitive Eating like:

• “I’ll never stop eating! )
• “What if I gain weight” 
• “I can’t control myself”
• “I will only eat unhealthy foods”

And how we can work through them.

Plus we unpack common food rules people have like:

• Not allowed to eat anything that isn’t ‘clean’
• Can’t eat more than one type of carb in a meal
• I can’t have a snack unless I workout
• No food after X time at night 
• Can’t have dessert in the house

This week I'm tackling listener questions with Eliza Khinsoe - a fellow Nutrition Counsellor at London Centre for Intuitive Eating.

Eliza shares a little about how she got into weight-inclusive practice, what her responsibilities are at LCIE and her work on the Pantry Party Pod to support students and new grads in the field. 

The we go deep into YOUR questions. We cover so much in this episode, but some highlights include:

• When it’s time for gentle nutrition and how you balance nutrition information with intuitive eating
• How to learn to respect fullness cues
• What the deal is with mindful eating and challenging where our ideas around mindful eating have come from – i.e. are they informed by diet culture or are you seeing it more as a process of discovery
• We talk about comfort eating
• We also discuss why it’s totally normal in the context of diet culture to want to lose weight with intuitive eating and how you can begin to unpack that desire
• And why Intuitive Eating invites you to put down the pursuit of weight loss

As per, let us know your thoughts on this episode, and if you enjoyed it please drop 5 stars on Apple podcasts!

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

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

✨ Why IE is actually health-promoting 
✨ How to spot fake IE versus true IE

This week on the pod Laura's speaking to Kirstin Kade, Registered Associate Nutritionist and author of Taste and See Blog. As a mum-to-be, she has become more interested in the area of women's health in recent months - particularly relating to the pre-pregnancy (fertility), pregnancy, and postnatal periods - and hopes to support and encourage others who are curious about or navigating their way through these things themselves. 

In this episode they discuss:

✨ How Kirstin's own relationship with food  has evolved through finding Intuitive Eating to finding peace with food and her body and how pregnancy has affected this
✨ How to apply the principles of Intuitive Eating during pregnancy, particularly when navigating sickness, nausea + cravings
✨ How to manage (hopefully well-meaning) but unhelpful comments from others
✨ The effect that pregnancy and motherhood can have on body image + how to navigate this
✨
