139: Heal Your Relationship With Food with Joanne Edinberg

Thrive Beyond Size

Hello, friends! I have another beautiful interview for you today. It’s so encouraging to talk to other women who are interested in ditching diet culture and healing relationships with food. Joanne Edinberg, my guest today, is a Certified Eating Psychology Coach and the founder of Body Wisdom Nutrition. Joanne and I actually both trained at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating which gives us a unique perspective on issues surrounding food and body and weight. Joanne’s interest in health and wellness led her through many other health-related careers but ultimately her passion focused on coaching women to develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.

Something Joanne and I discuss is how diet culture has been so ingrained in us that even the simple act of going for a walk becomes a challenge to exercise and lose weight. We begin to lose touch with what is actually a very natural thing: going outside just because it feels good to be there and to move our bodies. Joanne stresses that self-compassion is a key component of being able to heal our relationships with exercise and food; and that believing we are worthy of rest and time in nature and enjoying the nourishment of food is vital. We talk about self-awareness, being aware of our bodies and what they need instead of just pushing through a certain number of steps and eating only a certain number of calories. There is so much wisdom and knowledge that Joanne has to share and this conversation is very open, honest, and healing. There are definitely ways we can start to change how we view food and our bodies, and Joanne shares the mindset we need to embrace to start healing.
