Redefining "Health" and Decoding Symptoms as Body Communication with Tamar Samuels

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

Every semester in my undergraduate studies, I would receive all my coursework & experience a full-body panic. 

I would look at all that was due & some perfectionistic part of me thought I needed to hand in everything tomorrow. 

This typically led to a phone call to my mother who would say, "Stephanie, you eat an elephant a bite at a time."

This would often remind me that when faced with big tasks, you can only make it to the end one step at a time. 

On a food recovery journey, there can be a desire to end binging or any food coping mechanism immediately. Yet, trying to eliminate your binging is too large of a step to take.

You've got to look out for the action step that feels doable & manageable. There are countless smaller steps before addressing food's role as an emotional regulator. You can begin by finding the action that brings a sense of calm to your nervous system. That’s the first step on your path forward.

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Tamar Samuels, registered dietitian nutritionist & the co-founder of Culina Health about: 

• The gut brain connection
• How stress influences food behaviors
• The physical and emotional factors to healing
• Rethinking food labels
• Understanding nutritional research
• Building your support team
• Navigating health care with empowerment

With Compassion and Empathy, 
Stephanie Mara Fox
