Creating a Positive Relationship with Food and Self with Rachel Harvest, MS, RDN (ep – 70)
More often than not, the relationship we have with food stems from the relationship we have with ourselves. In part two of this important conversation on how emotions shape nutrition, registered dietitian and behavioral health specialist Rachel Harvest joins Ginger to take a closer look at the relationship to self, how it influences the spectrum of restrictive eating, and the process of listening to your body to rewrite old habits. Together they explore food as an emotional tool, the importance of tuning into the body’s signals, and practical ways to break free from rigid food rules. Rachel also comments on the pressures of social media and the comparisons that can distort our self-image, along with strategies to quiet the noise. Rooted in kindness and self-compassion, this conversation highlights the real steps to healing one's relationship with food, a journey that requires bravery. While the work can be challenging, the rewards are waiting on the other side.
