If you've ever worried that intuitive eating and blood sugar health can't coexist... this episode is going to be a huge relief. So many women feel like the moment they're told they have prediabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, or blood sugar concerns, they have to choose between trusting their bodies and going back on a restrictive diet. It doesn't have to be that way!!  In this episode, I'm joined by registered dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) Kristie Messerli to unpack what actually matters for blood sugar, what diet culture gets wrong, and how you can support your health without cutting out carbs or living in fear that everything you eat is spiking your blood sugar.   In this episode, you'll learn: - The biggest myths about blood sugar - Whether you really need to fear carbs (spoiler: NO!) - What to focus on instead of dieting if you want healthier blood sugar - How intuitive eating can support diabetes and prediabetes management - Practical, realistic habits that improve your health without making food consume your life Whether you've been diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes, have a family history of blood sugar concerns, or simply want to feel more confident that intuitive eating and health can go hand in hand, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and hopeful. Because taking care of your health should never require hating yourself or living in fear of food in the process.   Resources Mentioned: - Follow Kristie Messerlie on Instagram! - Check out Kristie's podcast Simplifying Diabetes here.   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey -Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! -Work with Katy -Join Katy's weekly email newsletter -FREE GUIDE: Stop the Constant Food Obsession.   Connect with Katy Harvey: Website Instagram Facebook   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "What am I doing wrong?" - this episode is for you!!

Tune into the full masterclass that I recently ran that was so insanely powerful that I just HAD TO bring it over here to the podcast.  If you're feeling stuck or like something's just "not clicking," with intuitive eating, it's not just you. Intuitive eating is a beautiful framework…AND I'm not going to sugar coat it –    If you're not implementing it correctly, the way it's intended, it's not going to work for you.  99% of people who attempt intuitive eating give up on it because they never figured out how to do it successfully - because they weren't even aware of the mistakes they were making and their blind spots.   I also want you to know that when you finally feel clear + confident about how to correctly do intuitive eating, it will bring you SO MUCH PEACE, FREEDOM AND JOY.    I've been helping my clients become intuitive eaters for 15+ years now, and I have seen the mistakes and the areas where people get stuck - and I know how to get you unstuck!   That's why I created this masterclass called The Top 4 Mistakes You're Making With Intuitive Eating - Which Are Why It's Not Working For You and You Still Feel Unhealthy and Out of Control Around Food.   Episode Highlights   -The 4 most common mistakes people make with intuitive eating (and I can guarantee you're making at least 1-2 of them). In this class we'll fix this!! -The essential thing you're ignoring with nutrition - and it's setting you up for stronger cravings, endless snacking at night and not being able to accurately listen to your hunger and fullness cues. -How your mindset about your weight is working against you. We don't ignore weight in my world, but we also don't use it to measure your worth or "success/failure" with intuitive eating. Instead, we're going to flip the script with a new way of looking at weight so it's not sabotaging your IE process.    Resources Mentioned   - JOIN NON-DIETER'S CLUB HERE!!   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey   Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group!

You're worried about your health? Good! It's great to want to take care of yourself. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't do intuitive eating. Intuitive eating is all about honoring your health in ways that are effective and sustainable.   And if you've been doing intuitive eating and your health is getting worse, then we need to take a look at what's going on. Sometimes it's about playing the long game and working through all the deprivation that dieting caused, and letting yourself have those formerly forbidden foods a lot before you find balance with your eating again.    Sometimes it's about your body letting you know that it needs some "gentle nutrition" support which is literally one of the principles of intuitive eating!    Rather than panicking and going back to dieting (which is only a temporary "fix" that usually makes things worse) - you need to get curious, lean into how to respect your body's needs while reprogramming your mind to let go of the old diet culture rules and judgments.    All of this is easier said than done, I totally get it. In this episode I'll give you some really practical examples of things you can do to support your health, and how to navigate this in conjunction with using intuitive eating to make peace with food and your body.  Episode Highlights -The illusion of control that dieting is giving you…and why it backfires for your health. -What to do if your health is getting worse with intuitive eating. -Examples of specific health conditions and how to approach it as an intuitive eater, while getting healthier. -A 3-step journaling exercise that will help you pinpoint what exactly YOU need to do for your health starting TODAY that doesn't require you to go back to dieting or restricting.    Today's Wellness Woo is Viome.   Resources Mentioned - JOIN NON-DIETER'S CLUB HERE!   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey - Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! - Work with Katy - Join Katy's weekly email newsletter - Free Guide: Stop the Constant Food Obsession   Connect with Katy Harvey Website Instagram Facebook    Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

Let's be so for real right now…You're one glimpse in the mirror or bad body image day away from going right back to dieting even though you know deep down it doesn't work long-term.    WHY ON EARTH do we do keep going back to dieting when we know better?   In this episode, I'm breaking down what keeps drawing you back into the loving and dysfunctional arms of dieting, and what you need to start doing instead in those moments when you feel tempted to jump ship from your intuitive eating journey and re-download your calorie tracking app for the 10th time.    We're also going to use a really powerful analogy to help you understand the cycle that you're in, and what it takes to get out of it - for good. If you know that you need to develop a healthier relationship with food and your body, but that feels so gosh darn hard when you feel so uncomfortable with your body…this is the episode for you.    Episode Highlights -The MOVEMENT that we are creating together - and YOU get to be part of it! You need to hear this! -A relationship analogy that explains exactly why you keep feeling tempted to return to dieting when you already know better.  -What you're ACTUALLY craving when you are yearning for weight loss (hint: It's not literally about the lower number on the scale…it's more than that.) -The ways in which you're using dieting to avoid the harder work.

If you genuinely believe that you can't stop yourself from overeating with certain foods, we need to talk about that. Because that's not intuitive eating.    So many people tell me, "If I ate intuitively I'd eat an entire package of cookies or bag of chips every day." NO YOU WOULDN'T…Not if you were doing intuitive eating correctly.    Your body doesn't "intuitively" want to eat in a way that is excessive or makes you feel like crap. So if that's what is happening to you, then you're not an intuitive eater…YET.    Let's fix this today.     Episode Highlights - The major flaw in the evidence you're using to convince yourself that you can't be trusted with Oreos - Why the path through this requires you to EAT the Oreos, not avoid them. - Why intuitive eating often looks worse before it looks better. - The REAL goal we are aiming for…and it's not to eat fewer Oreos. It's much bigger than that.   Today's Wellness Woo is the book "Always Hungry" by Dr. David Ludwig.   Resources Mentioned - Take the FREE 2-minute food freedom quiz here! - Make sure you're on my email list for the full BTS of the movement we are creating.   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey - Join My Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group!:  - Work with Katy - Join Katy's weekly email newsletter: nondietacademy.com/newsletter - Stop the Constant Food Obsession: https://www.nondietacademy.com/food   Connect with Katy Harvey Website Instagram Facebook   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!
