5 Intuitive Eating Holiday Season Hot Takes with Naomi Katz
We’re kicking off November talking about food and intuitive eating with our very first guest, Naomi Katz from Happy Shapes Coaching. We’re exploring the complexities of intuitive eating, particularly during the holiday season, but as you’ll learn, these hot takes are not just for the holidays!!
We discuss the emotional responses to food, the importance of autonomy in food choices, and the 10th principle of Intuitive Eating, gentle nutrition. Naomi shares her insights on navigating food relationships, the normalcy of eating past fullness, and the significance of focusing on one's own plate rather than comparing with others.
Now more than ever, is a time to be gentle with ourselves, and our food choices.
You’ll also hear how you can support the communities within Asheville in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
You can learn more about Naomi and her coaching at www.happyshapes.co, or by following her on Instagram @happyshapesnaomi, or by listening to her podcast, Satisfaction Factor, available on all podcast platforms.
