#43 - What To Do When You Have Your Wake Up Call And It's Time To Change For Good: How Intuitive Eating Dietitian Alexis Joseph Liberated Herself From Diet Culture

Whether you’re a chronic dieter, a person who “eats clean”, or a
dedicated exerciser who never seems to take a rest day, you never
know when the day will come when your eyes open up and you
realize what you’re doing is no longer working for you. “How did
I get here and how can I get out?”.


When you first have your “wake up call,” pay attention. You won’t
have all the answers for what you should do next. You won’t be in
the same place as someone else. Uncertainty can keep you just
scared enough to prevent you from moving forward and taking
action. But just one step, one scary risk, can be exactly what
you need to liberate yourself from diet culture.


Change is not just good, it’s normal. Follow my conversation with
fellow intuitive eating dietitian, Alexis Joseph, as she shares
her epiphany that her blog, brand, and personal life was
disordered and no longer serving her. I loved her blog post “I
have been changed for good” which shares more of her story.


I hope this chat helps people (including dietitians, trainers,
and other helping professionals) with restrictive eating and
exercise patterns and calling it “healthy” or a “healthy
lifestyle”. You don’t have to be exactly on the same page as me
in order to make meaningful change in your life and your work.
