Description: This episode is one of those conversations — the ones that stick with you. I sat down with the brilliant Taylor Assonde, a registered dietitian and certified eating disorder specialist, to have a very real and raw talk about our relationship with food, movement, and the quiet pressure so many women (and teens!) feel every single day. We covered it ALL: The danger of food obsession (even the "healthy" kind) Misconceptions around fasting and high-protein diets What too much exercise really looks like Perimenopause, body changes, and learning to listen to your hunger How to spot red flags with loved ones (and what to say) Eating disorders in teens, athletes, and even cultures where food = love Whether you're in your 40s navigating hormone shifts, a mama to teens, or just trying to heal your relationship with food and your body — this episode is for you. ✨ It's time to take the shame off the table and have the honest conversations.
