Ep. 213 Resolving Eating Issues Picked Up in Childhood with Jessica Setnick

If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to change how you eat or feel about your body, this episode will shed light on just how complex our relationships with food really are.

It may or may not come as news to you that your current relationship with food and your body is impacted by the messages you received about those things when you were a kid.

Even more unbelievably is that you’re impacted by the messages your parents and their parents received when they were kids.

I’m joined by Registered Dietician and author of Heal Your Inner Eater, Jessica Setnick, to discuss intergenerational eating issues and how to start improving them.

Listen to this week’s episode:

Jessica Setnick

Jessica Setnick is the best kind of dietitian – she knows her stuff and doesn’t take herself too seriously. She trains health professionals, writes books, and consults one-on-one with eating disorder specialists. Her latest workshop, Healing Your Inner Eater, looks at intergenerational eating issues and habits with the goal of removing the unconscious barriers that keep us from changing. Her ultimate goal is a world where no one is ashamed to talk about their eating (including the things we’re embarrassed about), where anyone who wants help can get it, and where every kind of person and body are respected, appreciated, and cared for with love.
