87 - The Food Police Exposed: A Diabetic's Guide to Intuitive Eating

Health Hope Harmony: Navigating Wellness, Embracing Every Body, and Healing Minds

Ever wondered why diet culture sets such unreasonable rules? Join me and my esteemed guest, Robbyn, as we challenge the food police and their arbitrary restrictions, especially as they pertain to those managing diabetes. In this engaging conversation, we unravel the myths surrounding food, body size, and diabetes while advocating for intuitive eating.
Robbyn, herself a diabetic, offers an enlightening perspective on the disease. We walk through the signs, symptoms, and diagnosis process, shedding light on the potential for misdiagnosis and the importance of self-advocacy. Delving into the complexities of diabetes management, we underline the essential role of understanding carbohydrates. However, we strongly believe that managing diabetes doesn't mean bidding farewell to the joys of food.
Our conversation culminates in the affirmation that diabetes is not a death sentence. You can, indeed, lead a happy, healthy life alongside managing this condition. We discuss evidence backing the practice of intuitive eating for those with diabetes and stress on the importance of body autonomy. So lend us your ears, shift your perspective, and join us in dismantling diet culture's food police, advocating for body positivity, and embracing the freedom to enjoy food.
