Ep 33. Buddhism and Intuitive Eating with Jenna Hollenstein

Intuitive Eating is an incredible approach for people seeking to heal their relationships with food and their bodies. But it's not without its challenges. In this episode I speak with the wonderful Jenna Hollenstein, who brings years of experience as a non-diet dietitian and meditation teacher to the table to help us understand how to tolerate the discomfort that so often arises in one's journey into intuitive eating. 

We talk about:

• What do meditation and Buddhism have to offer those on the Intuitive eating path?
• The importance of eating enough
• How one starts to make peace with food, and challenge food rules that seem second nature
• What is interoception, and why is it important? 
• The co-opting of mindfulness
•  The difference between doing this work as self-improvement VS doing it as self care
• Intuitive eating and mindfulness can be doorways into a pleasure practice
