Did you grow up being told things like "finish your plate" or "you can't have dessert until you eat your veggies"? It’s quite possible that these old food rules are still controlling what you eat - even if you don’t realize it.

In this episode, we’re diving into how those childhood food rules have stayed with you over the years, and how they’ve morphed through the input from diet culture.

Even if you’re technically not dieting anymore, you might still feel stuck in “no man’s land” between food guilt and food freedom, and these sneaky old rules are often the reason why. I’ll walk you through how to recognize these rules, why they’re so hard to break, and how to start letting them go so you can finally trust yourself around food.

Episode Highlights

-They psychology of early food rules

-How these rules morph in adulthood

-Why this isn’t fixed by ‘just listening to your body’

-How to identify + let go of your childhood food rules
