Happy Satiated Saturday! 

After years and years of navigating food cravings, it was the field of somatics that started to shift my perception of them. 

I used to think of cravings as something I had to do battle with and couldn't listen to until I realized that I was defining listening to cravings as abiding by them and that listening to my craving meant I needed to eat the food some part of me was telling me to eat. 

I now experience and teach that cravings are bodily messengers. Cravings are meant to be listened to by bringing in curiosity about what the body might be trying to relay through having you want to eat a particular food. 

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Jenn Trepeck, Certified Health & Nutrition Coach, about: 

  • Decoding cravings
  • The nutritional and blood sugar aspects to cravings
  • The role of guilt in cravings
  • Practical strategies to navigating your food cravings

With Compassion and Empathy,
