Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 7 of The PCOS Revolution Podcast:
The Cure for Dieting: All About Intuitive Eating With Stephanie Dodier
What is your personal relationship with food? Is it positive? Is it negative? How might your personal relationship with food be impacting other areas of your life?
This week on PCOS Revolution Podcast, I am having a conversation with Stephanie Dodier. Stephanie is a nutritionist, emotional eating expert, founder of the Beyond the Food Academy and host of Beyond the Food Show. She helps women stop overeating and emotional eating, find food freedom and end food obsession. Today we are discussing how you relate to food.Diets come and go and ultimately they are not successful. Stephanie had her first diet at 12. That mentality and cycle continued until she was 38.
Part of the issue was because of the weight cycling, the yoyo dieting. When Stephanie started in the world of natural health, food was presented as the solution to everything. She struggled with binge eating and disordered eating, becoming totally obsessed with food. She started to explore a new facet of relationship with food. From there she discovered the world of intuitive eating. Since then, she has helped and continues to help people mend their relationship with food, eater better and feel better without dieting. During this episode, Stephanie will share various tips about how to improve your relationship with food. It all starts with shifting to internal cues and listening to what your body is trying to tell you.
Weight is not a disease – it’s a symptom of something else going on in the body. Anytime there is restriction of food, that will be received by your brain as a threat to your survival. When we impose rules, our brain goes into defense mode.While dieting is common, weight cycling is linked to higher inflammation in the body and weight gain. Diets have a 95 percent failure rate. We aren’t born dieting, we are born an intuitive eater. At a certain place we were led to believe our body wasn’t ideal and were given the tool of dieting. This feeds the fundamental notion that you are broken. We start getting out of our body and start following external cues. Your capacity as an intuitive eater never goes away, you just have to learn how to access it.
Many women don’t even know there is an option to not be on a diet. To be successful, it’s important to start disconnecting from diet environments. Social media can be harmful as well. You can get inundated with external cues of eating, making it difficult to reconnect. Intuitive eating is a journey that fosters the ability to be in your body. Stephanie incorporates mindfulness in her teachings to help bring oneself back into the body.
