In this raw and empowering conversation, Alana—naturopath and nutritionist—dives into the hidden rules and emotional patterns that shape our relationship with food. She and Idongesit unpack how childhood conditioning, societal expectations, and the weight-loss industry have deeply affected how many of us, especially women, eat and feel about our bodies.
With real-life insights from motherhood, client experiences, and her own healing journey, Alana emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, non-judgment, and trust in the body’s innate wisdom. If you've ever struggled with emotional eating, restrictive dieting, or body image, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh, compassionate air. #holisticnutrition #emotionalhealing #bodypositivity #guthealth #foodfreedom
