If intuitive eating has ever felt frustrating, overwhelming, or strangely out of reach, this episode explains why.
In this conversation, I share more of my personal evolution — from weight loss coaching and obesity medicine training to binge eating recovery and body trust work. There was a moment during my binge eating certification when everything clicked: intentional weight loss wasn’t just ineffective long term — it was often contributing to the very behaviors I was trying to help people heal. But even then, intuitive eating didn’t immediately “work” for me. And that realization led me to the deeper missing piece.
Today we talk about nervous system safety — and why feeling safe enough in your body is the true prerequisite to intuitive eating. If your body doesn’t feel like a safe place to land, tuning in will always feel difficult.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why intuitive eating can feel unsafe or inaccessible in certain stages of healing
- How trauma (big and small), teasing, illness, and diet culture disconnect us from our bodies
- What fight, flight, and freeze look like in real life — especially around food
- Why you don’t need more discipline — you need safety
- How somatic practices like gentle yoga and meditation help rebuild body trust
- The difference between intentional pleasure and numbing with food
- What’s coming next inside Wayza as this work deepens
