#15 Heal Your Relationship with Food through Food Freedom with Kim Basler
Jul 05, 2022 Season 1 Episode 15
Jessica Briecke

Do you obsessively monitor everything you're putting into your body? Skip meals or do an extra hour of exercise to see the number on the scale go down? 

In our culture, especially as women, we're constantly bombarded with messaging that tells us to eat less, exercise more, cut out this and that food, and we're in constant fear of getting fat. 

This leads us to adopt an unhealthy relationship with food, even though our behavior can SEEM healthy because it's socially acceptable and even encouraged.

Kim Basler is a Food Freedom and Mindset Coach who is on a mission to help women ditch the dieting and restrictive eating and develop a healthy relationship with food. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Kim's own journey with disordered eating which started from modeling her mom's behaviors with food
  • The pressure she felt to control her weight and be happy all the time as a fitness instructor
  • Unlearning and re-learning what "health" actually is and what it looks like
  • How to help your kids with body image issues and having a healthy relationship with food from the beginning
  • How to recognize if you have disordered eating patterns
  • Emotional eating is normal, but when is it a problem?
  • Is there ever a place for restricting food in the short term- to heal disease?

and more!
