Manage episode 419436370 series 3563959
In this episode of "Make Peace With Food," host Emily LaVoie explores the multifaceted role that food plays in our lives beyond just being a source of fuel. As a certified eating psychology coach, Emily delves into why food should not merely be seen as calories but as a form of energy, nourishment, and so much more. Recorded on International Women's Day, Emily encourages listeners to embrace and express themselves while connecting the episode to the theme of empowerment through understanding and appreciating our relationship with food.
She discusses how food serves as an expression of love, a comfort during emotional times, a link to cultural identity, and as a means of fostering friendships and joy. Emily challenges the conventional perceptions that often tie food with guilt and shame and invites listeners to celebrate food as a source of pleasure and satisfaction.
From the scientific breakdown of what a calorie really is to the social and emotional connections we make over meals, this episode is a reminder of the beautiful complexities of eating and how it integrates into every aspect of human life. Join Emily as she reassures us that food is indeed something to be celebrated, enjoyed, and respected.
