| Is it your relationship with food or relationship with stress? | 16 Nov 2022 | 00:32:52 | |
Dana and Cristina chat about how sometimes, in order to repair your relationship with food or exercise, you need to repair your relationship with stress.

This is when your relationship with food and body image can be a red herring that become their own deeper problems!

| Rebuilding your relationship with exercise | 06 Jul 2022 | 00:56:50 | |
Dana and Cristina discuss how to reframe movement and rebuilding your relationship with exercise. What happens when you want to use movement as a tool to support your mental and physical health, but it's difficult because of your mentality towards exercise and perfectionism?

In this episode, Dana and Cristina have very different perspectives on how to work through our relationship with exercise, and practical tips on how to work towards exercise neutrality. For some of us, we're still working on this - and that's okay!! You'll love these episodes too:

| How set point theory is rooted in fatphobia | 25 May 2022 | 00:37:50 | |
This week, we discuss how the way set point theory is used in healthcare and the ED recovery community is rooted in fatphobia, and can be a contributing factor in preventing people from fully recovering. Many recovery modalities are based on assumptions on how 'sick' someone could really be based on their body size, which is also used as a barometer for how they are progressing through recovery (EW, we know.). We know there's a delicate balance between meeting your client where they are and challenging them with a HAES, body neutrality + anti-fatphobic perspective - and we discuss how to do so in this episode. This also carries over into advanced recovery and intuitive eating - where people feel like they are failing in recovery because they don't know what to actually eat! You'll love these episodes too:
