Today I’m having a conversation around food and diet culture that I hope starts to make its way into the wellness space. Deena is a holistic and integrative health coach who guides mothers and families all over the world to remove the chore from food and cultivate a more joyful and confident relationship with your choices. She is a guiding light when it comes to holistic-centered eating. Deena shares how her own journey with disordered eating and how it led her down the path to helping other women. She is a rock star in the nutrition space and believes every family needs to create for themselves what works for their unique family and that you can let go of the should’s that are stressing you out in the kitchen.

Deena underlines the importance of staying attuned to your body as differing opinions are thrown from every direction. In order to really understand what our bodies need, we have to learn how to hear our body above all the outside noise.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:

• The fad diets of the 80s and 90s and how that still effects us today

• Deena’s journey through disordered eating

• How the toxic ideas in diet culture shifted in the wellness industry

• The food rules we absorb as mothers and how that effects our children

• How to become attuned to what your body is really craving

• Discerning where you want to put your time and energy when you lead a busy family life

• The moments that create our “food story”

• The health consequences of undereating

• The accessibility issue when it comes to “healthy eating”
