Ditch Diet Culture, Do Better Coaching with Lara Days

Coaches love control—until it controls them. In this one, Lara Days (Visionary Endotype), a board‑certified health coach and intuitive eating counselor, breaks down why so many smart, high‑capacity people are secretly micromanaging their bodies: daily weigh‑ins, body checking, earning food, and calling it “discipline.” We talk about the pendulum swing—strict rules on one side, “forget it” on the other—and how to find a livable middle.

You’ll hear Lara’s practical lens on rejecting diet culture, using interoception and attunement as your real “data,” and why tracking feelings beats tracking macros for most humans. We also unpack program design: getting explicit buy‑in, setting agreements, and running groups where autonomy is the point—not another set of rules.
