In this episode, I am joined by Erica Mouch, a food therapist and Registered Dietitian, who has been practicing for a decade working with people of all ages to understand that all bodies are meant to be different sizes, weight does not equal health, and trying to help her clients truly listen to what they want when it comes to food. She talks about her time living in Japan and how this changed her relationship with food, her struggles with body dissatisfaction in college, and how she teaches her clients about how calories and serving sizes are completely arbitrary. We talk about how food is not black and white, but instead, it is all different shades of gray that we have to learn to pick and choose what works for us.
