S2: EP: 25 Food for Thought

On today’s show, I have a powerful conversation with Michelle
May, former family physician, recovered yo-yo dieter, Founder –
Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Programs and Training, and author of
the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat Book series.


Like many young adults in our current food-abundant,
diet-obsessed culture, Michelle struggled with disordered eating
and body image through high school, college, and medical school.
Her unhealthy relationship with food was her secret. When she
opened her medical practice, she was surprised to discover that
she wasn’t alone!


Michelle’s passion now is helping other people to learn how to
make eating decisions using the Mindful Eating Cycle that she
developed. She has written a book for young adults and college
students around eating.


We talk about:


Her unhealthy relationship journey with food


Yo Yo Dieting. Why restrictive dieting harms our relationship
with food


How to recognise and cope effectively with triggers for mindless
and emotional eating


How to get your young adult to make healthy food choices and
habits


How to balance eating for nourishment with eating for enjoyment
– without deprivation and guilt.


Today’s culture and its influence on body image


Her Powerful Mindful Eating Cycle Program


Intentional Self Care
