March 9, 2022
I'm thrilled to introduce my guest today - Dr Lara Zibarras! Lara is a psychologist and food freedom coach who helps women develop a healthy and happy relationship with food, without guilt or emotional eating.
In our chat today, we're diving deep into what food freedom looks and feels like, as well as sharing in Lara's story about her own struggles with food and the pursuit of 'wellness'.
Tune in to hear: How Lara recovered from bulimia and how an obsession with 'clean eating' led to orthorexia after her children were born. Why 'clean eating' isn't as healthy as it might appear. The fine line between the pursuit of health and wellbeing vs punishing ourselves with restriction and rules. Why all or nothing thinking gets us into strife around food. Why giving food moralistic labels is problematic (and what to do instead). The ways we're all contributing to the diet culture narrative and why it's important to understand how it's impacting your happiness and wellbeing. Why diets don't work (and why it really has nothing to do with you). And so much more…
