Ep 35: Farewell and What’s Next | Introducing Live Workshops
<p>This one feels really personal. I’ve been sitting with this decision for a while, and I want to share openly why I’m stepping away from this format and what’s been shifting for me behind the scenes.</p><p>For a long time, I believed that if I could explain intuitive eating clearly enough, it would help people change. But I’ve learned that understanding isn’t the same as living it.

I’m moving into live workshops, where we can slow down, practice together, and rebuild trust with your body in real time.</p><p>Thank you for letting this podcast be part of your journey. </p><p>I’m grateful you’ve been here, and I hope to see you<a href="https://www.vitalitysupport.org/"> <u>in one of my workshops</u></a>.</p><p><br></p><p>🥬<strong> HERE’S WHAT WE GET INTO:</strong></p><ul><li>Why diets fail even when you try hard </li><li>Why you feel stuck with food and eating </li><li>The cycle of restrict, crave, overeat, and guilt </li><li>What intuitive eating really means in real life </li><li>How toxic diet culture affects your thoughts about food </li><li>How to trust your body again</li><li>Live workshops for food freedom and healing your relationship with food</li></ul><p><br></p><p>🥬 <strong>ABOUT THE HOST KATHY</strong></p><p>Kathy Salata is a certified intuitive eating coach.

Ep 34: The 2025 Food Pyramid and What It Means for Healthy Eating
<p>Last year, new nutrition guidelines updated the familiar food pyramid. Yet many people feel more confused about food than ever.</p><p>Part of that confusion comes from modern food trends. Today, we track macros, count protein, and follow endless nutrition advice shaped by toxic diet culture.</p><p>A clear example is the current obsession with protein. At the same time, many people miss a nutrient their bodies actually need more of: fiber. </p><p>A more sustainable approach focuses on variety, balance, and moderation instead of chronic dieting. </p><p><br></p><p>🥬<strong> HERE’S WHAT WE GET INTO:</strong></p><ul><li>The new food pyramid update and modern nutrition guidelines </li><li>The protein obsession and how toxic diet culture shapes food trends </li><li>The fiber gap and why many diets lack enough fiber </li><li>How carb fear and food shaming confuse healthy eating </li><li>How intuitive eating helps heal the relationship with food after chronic dieting</li></ul><p><br></p><p>🥬 <strong>ABOUT THE HOST KATHY</strong></p><p>Kathy Salata is a certified intuitive eating coach.

Ep 33: Trust Your Body Again: The Missing Piece in Making Peace With Food
<p>Trust is often the missing piece when it comes to making peace with food and your body.</p><p>Many people say they no longer know when they are hungry, when they are full, or what their body actually needs. After years of chronic dieting and toxic diet culture, it is easy to lose connection with those internal cues.</p><p>This conversation explores <strong>interoception</strong>, the body’s internal awareness that helps you sense hunger, fullness, stress, and other signals. When that connection weakens, food can start to feel confusing or chaotic.</p><p>Rebuilding that trust is possible. It starts with slowing down, noticing what your body is communicating, and allowing food to return to its role as nourishment rather than control.</p><p><br></p><p>🥬<strong> HERE’S WHAT WE GET INTO:</strong></p><ul><li>Why toxic diet culture teaches us to ignore hunger and fullness</li><li>What interoception means and why it matters in eating disorder recovery</li><li>How chronic dieting disrupts your body’s natural signals</li><li>Simple practices that help you reconnect with your body</li><li>Why slowing down is essential for rebuilding trust with food</li></ul><p><br></p><p>🥬 <strong>ABOUT THE HOST KATHY</strong></p><p>Kathy Salata is a certified intuitive eating coach.
