160. Intuitive Eating Updates You Need to Know with Elyse Resch MS, RDN, CEDS-C, Fiaedp, FADA, FAND

Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

Have you ever felt that tiny bit of excitement about breaking a “food rule?” Like finally getting your hands on the “forbidden” chocolate cake, only to inhale half of it and immediately promise yourself you’ll “be good” tomorrow? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But what if that intense food drama could just… disappear? No guilt, no shame, no last-supper mentality—just food, doing what food is supposed to do: nourish and satisfy.

So, if you’ve ever felt trapped in food rules, if “cheat days” have ever dictated your weekend plans, or if you’re just curious what the next step in healing your relationship with food looks like—this episode is for you.

Elyse Resch, MS, RDN, CEDS-C, Fiaedp, FADA, FAND, is a nutrition therapist in private practice with forty-three years of experience, specializing in eating disorders, Intuitive Eating, and Health at Every Size. She is the co-author of Intuitive Eating, now in its 4th edition, the Intuitive Eating Workbook and The Intuitive Eating Card Deck—50 Bite-Sized Ways to Make Peace with Food.
