Satiated Episode 165: Feeling Safe and Empowered With Food When You Have Medical Food Restrictions and Food Sensitivities

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

In my early 20's, I went on a journey to heal my gut. After years of being in pain, I got a colonoscopy and endoscopy completed to check to make sure I didn't have a digestive disorder. 

The only thing the doctor prescribed me with at the time was IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome and told me to watch my triggers and that was it. I felt frustrated and confused. And so I dove into everything I could learn about the gut. 

Now, I know many of you have heard me talk about how it's often not about food yet rather the state you're eating food in that affects how food is digested and assimilated. AND, I have a very sensitive digestive tract. I discovered along the way that there were some foods that absolutely did not work with my body and left me feeling pain, bloated, mentally foggy, digestively uneasy, and drastically affected my bowel movements.

If you're someone who has some kind of medical food guidance AND you're trying to heal your relationship with food to experience food as safe, this can be difficult to navigate. Having been on this exploration myself and supported others when they discover a food does not resonate with their body or needs to be taken out to support the body with a particular symptom, I wanted to offer some support if you find yourself on a similar path.

In this week’s episode, I share four somatic approaches to food when you need to take certain foods out of your daily eating for medical or body listening purposes. You will learn about Boundary Mentality, the healing nature of choice, and what to do if you're not ready to let a certain food go that doesn't resonate with your body.
