Tuning Into Our Bodies Wisdom: My Personal Evolution Beyond Veganism

Journey To The Soul

Have you ever felt like your body was speaking to you, but you weren't quite sure how to listen? I am here to share the raw and revealing journey of my battle with an eating disorder and the path to healing through honoring my body's intuitive wisdom. This episode takes us through the highs and lows, examining the self-imposed 'laws' around food and health, and how these can often lead us away from truly nourishing ourselves. My personal transition to veganism, motivated by ethical concerns and culinary creativity, becomes a poignant part of the narrative, especially as I describe how this choice eventually led to unexpected health challenges.
Confronted with signs that my body was struggling—hair loss, fatigue, and more—I found myself at a crossroads, considering a departure from a decade-long vegan diet. The insights from an acupuncturist and the necessary reintroduction of animal protein into my meals forced me to grapple with my identity and convictions. In this heart-to-heart, I share how this crucial shift underscored the need for flexibility in listening to our bodies' evolving needs, and how we can adapt our practices to support our health. As we wrap up, I extend a heartfelt thanks for joining me on this deeply personal journey, and I encourage you to keep the conversation going. Find me on Instagram and let's continue to explore the incredible wisdom our bodies hold together. Much love, until next time.
