Food Freedom, Not Fear with Sloane Elizabeth
Diet rules don’t just live on your plate—they live in your head and your history. We invited food freedom coach and holistic wellness expert Sloane Elizabeth to unpack how fear-based nutrition, viral trends, and moralized labels push smart people into smaller, more anxious lives—and how to step out of that loop with clarity and calm.
We start by taking a hard look at diet culture’s favorite tactics: intermittent fasting as identity, carb and bread panic, and the halo of words like natural and healthy. Wendy shares a personal story about hidden allergens in a “simple” bar, reminding us why label literacy matters without spiraling into obsession. From there, we redefine healthy as personal and flexible—where taste, allergies, and sensitivities count, and where forcing “perfect” foods undermines trust. Sloane maps out a model that fuses evidence-based nutrition with spirituality, so choices are guided by both facts and felt safety.
The conversation digs into family scripts like the clean plate club and using food as reward, showing how scarcity and people-pleasing shape overeating and urgency. Sloane shares her own journey from perfectionism and control to intuitive eating, explaining why the real first step isn’t macros—it’s the subconscious. By addressing root beliefs around worth, scarcity, and trust, you create change that sticks and watch it ripple into work, relationships, and self-care. We also flag red signs for entrepreneurs: constant food thoughts, purity-driven label checks, skipped events due to body worry, and rules that sound like can’t or must.
If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your choices to trends and start listening to your body with compassion and skill, this one’s for you. Tune in, take what serves you, and test it gently in your next meal. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs food freedom today, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Hi everyone, this is Wendy Manganero with Wellness and Wealth.
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.320
Welcome back to another episode.
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:10.000
Today our topic is diet culture and food fears.
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.080
I'm here with Sloane Elizabeth.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.560
I'm going to read her bio and then we'll get right into it.
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:23.039
Sloan is a food freedom coach and holistic wellness expert who helps women eat, move, and live with love and intuition.
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.559
She empowers women to stop dieting, obsessing, restricting, and playing small so that they can experience food and life freedom.
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:39.679
She uses a unique and powerful combination of science and spirituality to help her clients heal and live through their dream lives.
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:50.000
Sloan is a published author and has been featured on Food Network, The Doctors, Shape, Fetches, and Authority Magazine.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:51.200
Welcome, Sloan.
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:53.200
Thank you.
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:54.960
So we're gonna get right into it.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.640
How would you describe the US's diet culture and food fears today?
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:01.759
Oh, yes.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.760
Just scroll on social media for five minutes and you'll see it.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.000
And there's so many different pieces.
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:20.319
Diet culture piece where people are so obsessed with doing intermittent fasting and they're scared of eating carbs, eating bread, or maybe they're scared to eat in a certain time frame.
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.159
We saw an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow that went viral.
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:29.680
She was talking about how she eats coffee breakfast and has bone broth for lunch.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.840
And I don't know if that video was edited.
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.079
It seemed like it was to me, but that's a prime example of the food fears and the diet culture.
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:52.560
And then we also, especially in the US, have a lot of people that are just fearful about like our farming practices and all the marketing that goes into convenience foods, which there's a little bit of merit to that, I will say.
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.719
So there's a lot here.
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.040
It's interesting as you talk about the marketing of it, because there is this misnomer.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:06.159
If it says that it's healthy on the box or it is packaged like it looks healthy, then it must be.
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:07.840
That takes part of education.
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.439
I don't know if you agree with me to really figure that out, to really know what you're putting in your body in the first place.
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:14.960
Exactly.
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.319
There are some food freedom and intuitive eating practitioners that say, eat whatever you want.
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:21.120
Don't worry about it.
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.919
Just eat it and it's all fine and all foods fit.
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.759
You have permission to eat all the things.
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.199
And on the one hand, I agree foods can fit.
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.159
Technically, you do have permission to eat the things.
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:53.039
I do believe, though, that empowering people, my clients included, with nutrition science and that sort of nutritional information is just going to empower us to feel more confident in our food decisions, being scared of certain foods, but just knowing the truth about ingredients and natural means nothing.
00:02:53.199 --> 00:03:00.960
The term neutral is not organic, it is, but that doesn't mean a natural protein bar is bad.
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.879
Just know what it is, and then you can make decisions best for you and your body.
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:14.000
So that's why I like to combine the science, like the cold, hard facts about food with spirituality.
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:22.960
The spirituality is where we get into mental healing and our relationship with food, the way we think about food, the way we feel, all the fears and stuff.
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.120
To me, that's more in the spirituality category, but we need both.
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:29.520
I absolutely concur.
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.439
I don't know if there's any mamas out there with children with food allergies.
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.599
I actually have to tell the story on air.
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.360
My son is allergic to pumpkin and sunflower oil.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:45.759
Even with the healthy stuff that is supposed to be healthy, I always have to look at that because many of the healthy things come with pumpkin.
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.280
Pumpkin is like one of those things people are like, oh, it's only during the fall.
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.360
I'm like, no, it's in all the healthy foods.
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.840
They all think it's healthy that's in the granola.
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.560
And he was going to take a very important test this past week.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.240
It was a peanut butter bar, not allergic to be a protein bar.
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.080
And I didn't look at the label because I was like, it's peanut butter.
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.719
Sure enough, it had sunflower and pumpkin oil in it.
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.759
It was like instantaneous anaphologic shock.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.520
I think that we had everything in the car.
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:26.079
But these are those things where, you know, again, it's, you know, if you have a child with a food allergy, I am usually very mindful about what he puts in his body, but I just was like, peanut butter only has peanut oil in it, which I know a lot of children can't have if they're allergic.
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.120
My son can.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.800
So I didn't think anything of it.
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:35.920
And that's where like that education comes in because you're and he's so funny because he's if it looks healthy, I gotta look for pumpkin and sunflower oil.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:36.720
It's got one of those two.
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.079
He's a kid who knows.
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:57.360
So I think that that's important to really know what works with your body and really looking at those labels, especially and it and then not only on that is like you may not even, and I'm sure you see this that people don't have a full food reaction, but they still won't feel good if they eat certain things and really coming to understand that.
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.240
Absolutely.
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:07.040
And as you said, Wendy, just because it's labeled as healthier, it looks healthy, does not mean that it's going to be aligned for all of us, right?
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.600
Whether it's an allergy, an intolerance, a sensitivity, or maybe you just plain old don't like the taste of it.
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:14.079
Right?
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:24.240
If you don't like the taste of Brussels sprouts, I don't care how healthy Brussels sprouts are, I don't care how many vitamins and minerals there are, it's not healthy for you to force yourself to eat a food that you don't like.
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.519
So we get to really redefine what healthy means.
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.319
And that gets to be so personalized.
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.279
Yeah.
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.680
And I know that raisins are supposedly healthy.
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.920
There's no way I'm putting one of those things in my mouth.
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.160
It's so funny because everybody's like, you taste them.
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.759
I taste all raisins and all things.
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:40.560
I do not like.
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.879
So I really understand that.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:49.199
And that's why I think when we talk about intuitive eating and understanding what you like and don't like is really important too.
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.439
And I guess that goes back to the food culture.
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.600
I had an extravagant uncle, and he would say, Buy you anything you want to eat as long as you finish every single piece of it.
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.800
Really did, but everybody would overeat because they wanted the one thing, you know.
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:13.199
So, whatever you're raised with, kind of understanding when we talk about intuitive eating, that it's okay to not fall back into those things culturally.
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:14.959
That was just the way I was raised.
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.639
Oh, totally.
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.839
I like to call that the clean plate club.
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.759
And that is so common for my clients.
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:34.399
And then, as you said, it it's trained you to eat everything off of me, not even because of the food, but because you want your uncle to still love you.
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.720
You don't want him to be mad at you.
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:42.720
So it creates this story that Wendy isn't lovable unless she eats food.
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.000
Like at that point, it has nothing to do with food anymore.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.439
And everything to do with self-love, self-works.
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:58.399
Or mom's if you get it now, like you can't have it later, or better finish your plate because the kitchen is gonna close.
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.759
So then it's about taking advantage.
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.920
It's about, oh my God, there's lack.
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.439
Oh my god, there's scarcity.
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.600
So I need to go overboard.
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.079
So eventually you practice that for years.
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.360
It's no longer about food, it's about rushing and it's about lack and scarcity and fear.
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.600
And then we see that not just with your relationship with food, but maybe with your relationship with your career.
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.279
And then you see this with your relationship with dating.
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:32.720
Like it ends up trickling into everything, and it becomes not about food at all.
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:34.800
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:47.279
And I think because we live, especially I think in the US, everything like you see it, like got a good grade, let's go for ice cream, did a great job at sports, let's go to McDonald's.
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.480
There's this ideology that comfort food is associated with good things.
00:07:52.639 --> 00:08:02.560
On the opposite side, we associate food with oh, I did something well, so I need to treat myself as it's a treat, it's a reward.
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.560
And I always say treats are for dogs, not for humans.
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:12.240
And so it's okay if food makes you happy.
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.360
Food makes me happy.
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:19.519
It's okay if food gives you comfort, but we just don't want it to be the primary thing making you happy or giving you comfort.
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:28.879
How else can you treat yourself after accomplishing something that lasts for more than the five minutes it takes to eat your ice cream?
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:34.879
Maybe it's celebrating yourself for days, for weeks, like, wow, I'm so proud of myself.
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.000
It's ingraining self-pride, self-worth, self-love.
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:46.320
Whereas the happy meal, or even if it's something more nutrient-dense, like, oh, we had to go out to my favorite restaurant tonight.
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.840
Okay, that's beautiful.
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.919
And food gets to be celebratory.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:09:01.679
And when we can get more grounded and rooted in the safety of self-love and self-birth, that's going to last you so much longer.
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.200
Hopefully, it lasts you a lifetime.
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.320
Yeah, absolutely.
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.840
I love that you're talking about that.
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:11.279
So I'd love to know a little bit about your personal experience with diet culture and food fear.
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.919
Because I always find that that's fascinating, especially as we can go into our business for ourselves.
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.399
Like, how did we get absolutely so I in Los Angeles?
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:31.840
It's interesting because there's so much diet terms cultural, but I remember in high school, girls would come to school with juice cleanses for lunch.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:33.600
Like their lunch was juice.
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.679
And I was like, that's crazy.
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:36.720
That's absurd.
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.080
I could never do that.
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.159
And you always think, oh, I could never do that.
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:45.919
I love food too much, but it's really about the mental piece and how you feel about yourself and food.
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.720
As I mentioned, it's typically not even about food at the root.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.799
And that was the case for me too.
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:55.360
It really stemmed from body image and feeling like I'm gaining weight.
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.480
What am I doing wrong?
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.679
I need to control.
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.200
I feel out of control.
00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:07.840
Especially as a type A person, the control, the perfectionism was what I needed to work on.
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:16.720
And it was just coming out in my food behavior, even though it had come out in other areas of life previously.
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.200
I created all of these arbitrary food rules.
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.840
I thought I was doing it the scientific way.
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.159
I thought I was being healthy, but it was so obsessive.
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.440
And I had so many rules.
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.080
I was creating this prison for myself.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.879
And I also have always been a pretty self-aware person.
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:40.799
So even at that age, like knew that this could get really bad really fast if I let this keep going on.
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.440
So I knew that I had to do something about it.
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.720
I knew that I had to heal.
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.679
And so it started with more of the science piece.
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.240
What's the truth about food and nutrition?
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.080
Are these food rules legit?
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.679
What's actually going on?
00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:02.480
But scientifically and logically knowing something is very different from believing it and trusting it.
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:10.720
So I wasn't 100% sure that I was still obsessing, still controlling, even if I was a little bit looser with my food rules.
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:18.399
I stumbled upon Gabby Bernstein's and her books on spirituality and trusting the universe.
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.799
I've always been a very spiritual person.
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.159
Even as a child, I just didn't really know what that looked like or what it meant.
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:38.720
Her books really opened my eyes and gave me to develop a relationship with the universe, really learn all about fear, lack, scarcity, learn about manifestation.
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:50.480
And then combining it with the nutrients so that I feel empowered in my food choices.
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:56.480
That's where the concept of eating with love and intuition was really born.
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:04.240
It's eating out of love for your holistic health, physical health, mental health, soul health using science.
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.840
But then you're also using your intuition to make those choices.
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.039
And whether you like it or not, your intuition is connected to your soul.
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.720
It's connected to your spirit.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.000
And to me, that's what spirituality really means.
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:17.279
Yeah, I love that.
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.960
Actually, I was having a conversation with my son last night because he doesn't know if he believes or what he believes.
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.240
And that's fine.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.120
I give my kids the room to explore what that is.
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.360
I was like, hey, broach this in a way.
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.360
I know you don't believe in that God thing.
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.919
But and he's like, I know it's a tool.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:34.960
Your very own.
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.279
But I was explaining because we were talking about addictions in general.
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:50.879
And because I was like, an addiction is usually we're trying to fill something as you're talking about self-words, whether it is, it doesn't matter what the addiction is, we're trying to fill that hole that we're not spiritually connected to.
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:56.960
In his case, I have to say things like, Well, your intuition could be your spirituality.
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.840
I'm glad we have those conversations in the house and any of this stuff.
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:06.399
But it's interesting because I find that as you're talking about lack or love, especially when it comes to food, we're trying to fill that.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:11.440
And it's like that doesn't work, and we're still gonna feel the same at the end of the day.
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.799
We might feel better for five minutes, but we're gonna still feel the same.
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:16.159
Yeah, totally.
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:23.840
So for female entrepreneur, what are any warning signs that they're too focused on dieting and food fares?
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.960
What's kind of the watch words for them to look at themselves?
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.440
Self-awareness is critical.
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:35.679
Sometimes I'll ask women, why are you applying to work with me now or why do you want to sign up now?
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.639
They're like, I thought it was normal until I realized it wasn't.
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:48.720
So especially if your family is in the same boat or your friends, it can be hard to realize what's normal and what's not.
00:13:48.960 --> 00:14:04.000
If you feel fear around certain foods, like it's one thing to say, okay, I want the whole wheat bread because that feels really empowering for me and I want more fiber and it tastes good to me, versus I cannot have white bread.
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:06.240
So I have to have the whole wheat, right?
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.080
Like that's something to look at.
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:13.679
If you are thinking about food a lot, that's not normal.
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:19.200
It's different to think about food because you're like, oh, that's really yummy and I'm really excited to eat that later.
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.600
It's another thing to think, what should I have for lunch?
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.759
How is that gonna fit, etc.?
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:37.039
If you aren't going places because you're worried about what people will think of your body, or you are not wearing the clothes that you want to wear because you feel like, oh, I can't wear this.
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:37.919
We can work on.
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:44.080
Well, for some people, it's very evident that they need to heal their relationships with food.
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:52.159
They're binge eating or overeating, totally ignoring their hunger cues, ignoring fullness cues, just kind of mindlessly snacking.
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:57.279
And then for some people, it's like it's fine, but it's not the most intuitive, it's not the most ideal.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.000
I say supern stars, right?
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:04.559
Even if you have an okay relationship with food, why not make it incredible?
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:10.559
Because it's just going to have a positive trickle effect into other areas of your life too.
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:22.559
Also, like food labels, if you are always thinking about what quote, the cleanest can very quickly turn into disordered eating and obsession.
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:30.320
Subtle hints to just so that either you can get help now or you make sure that it doesn't get worse.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:31.840
Those are great hints.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.720
I really like those.
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.080
In the past, I've done a few of them.
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:40.000
I got sick when I was in high school and I didn't realize it because it was so easy and I had the flu.
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.919
I just got sick, but I wasn't eating.
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.759
When you're not feeling well, you just don't eat.
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.480
But I happened to make the mistake of when I went back to school.
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.960
I don't know what happened during that time.
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.399
I lost, I was sick.
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:51.200
I didn't eat.
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:58.799
I weighed myself, and it was like an obsessive marriage made in heaven, where then I was every day weighing myself.
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.679
And I'm like, hey, if I don't eat, I'm not gonna gain this weight.
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.519
I was not an overweight teenager.
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.679
It wasn't even on the, you know.
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.799
So it's an interesting thing because sometimes you don't even realize it.
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:14.399
It wasn't anything I was looking for, but it was like, oh, I was sick, I didn't eat, and I lost all this weight.
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.440
It was just like my brain went, if you don't eat, you'll stay like that.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:24.879
Obviously, I got help for that, but you don't realize sometimes it literally was just that conducive from one to the other.
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:25.440
Yeah.
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:32.240
And it's so interesting because weight, the number is neutral until we assign value to it.
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:40.480
So somewhere along the road, you probably learned that weight equals better for whatever reason, even if it wasn't conscious.
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.639
It's so interesting what our brains do.
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.960
I'd love to low for the last question.
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:54.720
What's the first step to eliminating those food fears or yo-yo dieting of I'm eating, I'm not eating, I should eat, I can't can't eat type of thing.
00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.240
Most people will tell you the first step to busting the food fears is to learn the truth.
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:01.840
Look at the nutritional science.
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.799
That's actually not where I start because the fear of food isn't really about food.
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:13.359
Deep down, I can tell you all the facts in the world, but that doesn't mean you are going to feel safe.
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.160
That doesn't mean that you're gonna trust yourself around those foods.
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.720
It just skips so many steps.
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:25.039
So where I like to start is in the subconscious mind, understanding what is the root of all of this for you?
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.680
Is it control, perfectionism, self-worth, lack of trust?
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.920
Like, what really is it?
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:36.559
And that's where we start because then it's gonna last.
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:52.799
We're actually dealing with the root, and it's not only going to benefit your relationship with food, but it's going to benefit every other area of your life where you're being a control freak or a perfectionist, or you are self-sabotaging with food, with dating, with career, with finances.
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.640
Like it's typically all related to a similar route.
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:04.319
The first step for me and my clients is understanding what those subconscious roots really are.
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:16.000
Identifying it is the first step, and then beginning to rewire and reprogram those beliefs on the deepest layers because when you do that, it's going to have that beautiful trickle up effect.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.320
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:10.000
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.080
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.560
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:23.039
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.559
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:39.679
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:50.000
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:51.200
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:53.200
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:54.960
00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.640
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:01.759
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.760
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.000
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:20.319
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.159
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:29.680
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.840
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.079
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:52.560
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.719
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.040
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:06.159
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:07.840
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.439
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:14.960
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.319
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:21.120
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.919
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.759
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.199
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.159
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:53.039
00:02:53.199 --> 00:03:00.960
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.879
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:14.000
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:22.960
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.120
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:29.520
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.439
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.599
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.360
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:45.759
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.280
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.360
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.840
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.560
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.240
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.080
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.719
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.759
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.520
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:26.079
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.120
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.800
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:35.920
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:36.720
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.079
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:57.360
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.240
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:07.040
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.600
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:14.079
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:24.240
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.519
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.319
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.279
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.680
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.920
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.160
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.759
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:40.560
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.879
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:49.199
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.439
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.600
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.800
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:13.199
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:14.959
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.639
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.839
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.759
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:34.399
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.720
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:42.720
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.000
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.439
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:58.399
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.759
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.920
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.439
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.600
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.079
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.360
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.600
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.279
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:32.720
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:34.800
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:47.279
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.480
00:07:52.639 --> 00:08:02.560
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.560
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:12.240
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.360
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:19.519
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:28.879
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:34.879
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.000
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:46.320
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.840
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.919
00:08:50.080 --> 00:09:01.679
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.200
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.320
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.840
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:11.279
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.919
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.399
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:31.840
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:33.600
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.679
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:36.720
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.080
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.159
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:45.919
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.720
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.799
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:55.360
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.480
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.679
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.200
00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:07.840
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:16.720
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.200
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.840
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.159
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.440
