Season 9 premiere! Christy is back from maternity leave with some intuitive eating lessons learned from feeding her baby, and some big news about the future of the podcast. We discuss the nuances of recognizing and communicating hunger and fullness, what diet and wellness culture get wrong about the incidence of food intolerances, why eating for comfort gets a bad rap, why Christy is tweaking how she talks about intuitive eating in babies—and what all this means for grownups who are healing their relationships with food.
