Listen to this episode from The Midlife Feast on Spotify. After years of dieting, the advice to "eat when you’re hungry, stop when you’re full" can feel frustrating and oversimplified-especially if you’ve been trying to “get” intuitive eating This week, fellow intuitive eating dietitian Julie Duffy Dillon joins me to help us understand some of the common roadblocks that keep us “stuck" and why reconnecting with your body’s natural cues takes patience. Most importantly, that healing is possible at any age, size, or health condition.We explore why dieting’s pull is so strong and why there’s so much value in naming why diets have given you a spark of feeling hopeful or empowered.With intuitive eating, weight gain can feel like failure, but Julie reminds us it's normal for our bodies to change — and why accepting this is key to healing and feeling like you’re making progress. Julie also shares insights from her new book, Find Your Food Voice, and encourages us to let go of diet culture so we can focus on healing from the trauma it’s caused.If you feel stuck, this conversation is a powerful reminder that you are not the problem in the intuitive eating equation! Connect with Julie The Website: https://julieduffydillon.com/📚Grab the Book: Find Your Food VoiceLinks Mentioned: EP 45: What Happens When PCOS Meets Midlife? with Julie Duffy DillonWhat did you think of this episode?
