Recovery from Disordered Eating: Choosing an Unfamiliar Heaven over a Familiar Hell with Sabrina Magnan
In this week's episode, Han is joined by Sabrina Magnan. Sabrina is a Food Freedom & Intuitive Eating Coach who helps chronic dieters heal their relationship with food & their bodies and develop lasting health-promoting habits so that they can find true authentic health, free from obsession and guilt.
This week, we discuss:
- Sabrina's journey to becoming a food freedom coach, encouraged by her personal experience of orthorexia and disordered eating.
- Advice for considering the impact your behaviours have now on your future, and managing the discomfort this can provoke.
- The normalisation of disordered eating behaviours in society and how to navigate moving away from them.
- The rise of "Crunchy Moms" and the normalisation of orthorexic tendencies.
- What on earth is meant by terms such as "healthy", "balanced", "moderation", "enough" and how to learn to "trust" yourself around food.
- Set point theory, how this determines your weight range and why aiming for a desired weight is not always possible.
- Sabrina guides me through how she would coach a client when they have internal beliefs about how others perceive them and how to adapt these.
