S2: EP: 25 Food for Thought
b'
On today\\u2019s show, I have a powerful conversation with Michelle May, former family physician, recovered yo-yo dieter, Founder \\u2013 Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Programs and Training, and author of the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat Book series.
\\nLike many young adults in our current food-abundant, diet-obsessed culture, Michelle struggled with disordered eating and body image through high school, college, and medical school. Her unhealthy relationship with food was her secret. When she opened her medical practice, she was surprised to discover that she wasn\\u2019t alone!
\\nMichelle\\u2019s passion now is helping other people to learn how to make eating decisions using the Mindful Eating Cycle that she developed. She has written a book for young adults and college students around eating.
\\nWe talk about:
\\n\\u27a4Her unhealthy relationship journey with food
\\n\\u27a4Yo Yo Dieting. Why restrictive dieting harms our relationship with food
\\n\\u27a4How to recognise and cope effectively with triggers for mindless and emotional eating
\\n\\u27a4How to get your young adult to make healthy food choices and habits
\\n\\u27a4How to balance eating for nourishment with eating for enjoyment \\u2013 without deprivation and guilt.
\\n\\u27a4Today\\u2019s culture and its influence on body image
\\n\\u27a4Her Powerful Mindful Eating Cycle Program
\\n\\u27a4Intentional Self Care
