My guest today is a badass and a half. By day, Isabel Foxen Duke helps women stop feeling crazy around food - specifically women who are trapped in “diet land.” And by night, she practices what she preaches, which is intuitive eating, health at every size and filtering her social media to maintain a positive body image. She also eats a lot of Burmese food, which, in case you dunno, means grub from various regions of Myanmar. I could’ve talked with Isabel for hours and hours, which is why this episode is especially long, because as you’ll hear, I needed my own crash course in diet culture with a side of fat phobia 101. I am so jazzed up about the work Isabel does and I love more than anything her tell-it-to-em-straight, no BS tude, dude! K, now grab a healthy snack, put on your suspenders and nudge those nerdy glasses up your nose because school is in session.
Get excited to hear:
- How being put on a diet at age THREE affected Isabel’s relationship to food from prettttty much the very start of her life.
- What the deal is with “health at every size” and how it could legit change your life and your relationship with your body.
- Isabel’s crystal clear and helpful definition of “binge eating” which made my use of the word seem rather ridiculous.
- How to get started with intuitive eating!
- Fat phobia 101.
- The verrrrry finite difference between dieting and “making healthy choices.”
- Some practice ways you can work to improve yo’ body image.
- And LOADS more!
