Podcast: EP 23 Disordered Eating, Body Image and Ending the Fight with Food with Isabel Foxen Duke
How is your relationship with food and your body? Have you been at war with them? This episode is a raw, intimate conversation with my personal food and body image coach Isabel Foxen Duke. Isabel has been an instrumental part of my healing my relationship with my body and food. I feel so passionate about sharing these truths for anyone else suffering from the kind of toxicity that can come from an unhealthy body image.
Isabel Foxen Duke is the Creator of Stop Fighting Food—a free video training and group coaching program for women who want to "stop feeling crazy around food." After years of trying to overcome emotional eating, binge-eating and chronic weight-cycling through "traditional" and alternative approaches, Isabel discovered some radical new ways to get women over their "food issues" once and for all—not just by shifting the mindsets of individuals, but by challenging the dominant diet culture as a whole. A fixture and thought-leader in the greater body-positive movement, Isabel has been featured in the Huffington Post, Elle Magazine, XOJane, and has been praised by Ricki Lake.
This is one of the most vulnerable episodes that I’ve recorded so far. My intention is that you can relate, be encouraged, and take action to start healing your own body and relationship to food, health, and self-love.
