The Emotional Journey of Eating: Finding Peace with Food

The Autoimmune Hour

In an intriguing episode of The Autoimmune Hour, we had the pleasure of speaking with Amanda Mittman, the founder of Happy Valley Nutrition. Amanda's philosophy is captivating: she shares, "Many of us have had our views warped by the healthcare industry, diet culture, the patriarchy, capitalism... and we've lost all sense of what our body should be." Host Sharon Sayler and Amanda discuss intuitive eating, body positivity, and maintaining mental health while navigating food sensitivities and a challenging wellness journey. Tune in for practical advice on developing a healthier relationship with food and your body, including:

• The Challenges of Food Sensitivities and Nutrition
• Navigating Food Allergies and Intolerances
• Addressing Emotional Health and Body Grief
• Exploring Coping Mechanisms and Self-Talk
• Navigating Body Changes and Self-Acceptance and more…
