Is your relationship with food truly healthy, or is it controlling you?

Food is more than just fuel—it’s tied to emotions, culture, and our deepest habits. But when does mindful eating turn into obsession? When does structure become restriction? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tracy-Lynn Reside to unpack the nuances of disordered eating, food noise, and how we can build sustainable, healthy habits without falling into cycles of guilt and control. We explore the fine line between making informed dietary choices and developing restrictive eating patterns, especially in a world that bombards us with mixed messages about what we should eat. Whether you’ve struggled with food rules, emotional eating, or feeling overwhelmed by nutrition advice, this conversation will help you take a step back, reflect, and find a path forward that truly supports your health. This episode is packed with powerful insights, practical strategies, and a much-needed reality check on what "healthy eating" really means. You don’t want to miss this one.
