Finding Pleasure in Eating, Body Hierarchies & Grieving the Thin Ideal with Kristina Bruce

Escape Diet Prison - The Podcast with Anne-Sophie Reinhardt

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I am joined by Kristina Bruce.

As a Certified Integrative Life coach and Body Trust® Provider, Kristina specializes in helping people break free from diet cycling and negative body image. Calling upon her education in health studies, sociology, yoga, meditation, and The Work of Byron Katie, Kristina works one-on-one with people to help them develop a positive relationship with their bodies so they can live empowering and fulfilled lives, in the bodies that they have.

We talk about:

• Diet Culture and the hype and fear around what foods are “good” or “bad” foods
• Turning into a “health nut” as a guise to manage your weight
• How to find pleasure in eating again
• Why food shouldn’t be a source of stress. Ever.
• Why your weight doesn’t say anything about your value or worth as a person
• Picking your challenges when it comes to confronting the beauty ideal
• Kristina’s breaking point
• Micromanaging your food intake and exercise so much that any stray from your routine means weight gain
• How Kristina’s attempts to keep her weight down affected her relationship
• The way Kristina integrates The Work of Byron Katie into her work with clients
• What happens when we change our perception of ourselves even just a little bit
• Body hierarchies and grieving the thin ideal
• Why we often feel worse before we feel better
• The problem of commenting on people’s weight loss and what to do instead
• Weight gain as a necessary part of puberty
• The evidence behind weight and pain
• and so much more!

Ressources we mention:

• Kristina’s Instagram Account
• Isabel Foxen Duke‘s work
• “Will Weight Loss Cure my Back/Knee/Joint Pain??”
• Health At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight by Linda Bacon (affiliate link)
• The Work of Byron Katie
