Finding Calm In The Nutritional Storm - In Session with Marc David

When it comes to nutrition and health, there can be a lot to worry about:
✴️ How do I control my desires and avoid the foods that are bad for me?
✴️ How can I eat to successfully lose weight?
✴️ How do I stop sabotaging myself?
✴️ And can I stick to a good nutritional program for the sake of my health?
If you find yourself having multiple worries around food, weight or health, you’re not alone. So many of us sincerely want to get things “right.”
But it can often seem like an impossible task. Our worries tend to get the best of us. They persist, and they’re happy to follow us everywhere.
Ultimately, our job is to learn how to find inner peace and calm in the nutritional storm.
And that’s exactly what you’ll learn about in this episode of “The Psychology of Eating Podcast” with Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
Tune in as Marc works with Kesia, a mother of five who has multiple food and body concerns on her mind. Marc helps Kesia begin to let go of worry by showing her the very place where those worries are coming from:
➡️ Her beliefs.
Kesia knows quite a bit about nutrition and health. She’s an acupuncturist who’s committed to helping others. And like so many of us who’ve learned a thing or two about what to eat, Kesia has some hard and fast rules:
✅ She believes that gluten and dairy should be avoided.
✅ She’s convinced that she must lose 5 kilos so she can be healthy.
✅ She’s certain that she needs to follow her own food rules perfectly.
✅ She wants her children to eat the same way she does.
✅ And she tells herself that her diet must guarantee her good health.
The challenge is though, life isn’t always so neat and tidy. Kesia finds herself eating gluten and dairy as “reward” foods. She knows her kids will rebel if she eliminates these foods. And she finds herself worrying about her own long term health.
The good news is, Kesia - and the rest of us - don’t have to be plagued by nutritional beliefs that cause us to worry and fret.
As you’ll hear, Marc helps Kesia unravel her beliefs one-by-one, while helping all of us understand how we can apply his strategies to our own life.
So be sure to tune into this episode, where Marc empowers all of us to discover how to create a nourishing relationship with food - minus the worrying, obsessing, and perfectionism!

You just duked it out with all our “buts” and conquered them with the intelligent responses we all need the relief of hearing! Powerful stuff. I will be rewatching too! ❤ Great job, Kesia, opening up so well and processing and connecting with every new challenge to the well ingrained programming so many of us have!

I mentally return to dieting/weight loss as the escape from everything I don’t want and a general freeness at last from constant agony. I’ve been Iike a diet addict since childhood, really buying into the thinking that thin is the key to unlock every good thing in life. It’s taken about two years of consistently not taking another hit, so to speak, to experience the love that I wasn’t but now am. Now I feel so vulnerable and am a bit plagued by a case of the “what ifs”; what if this love experience is all in my head? I’ve tricked many things out of my imagination. What if it doesn’t last? Not much ever has. Trust and safety will take time now too. For now though, I feel like a child, so vulnerable and in need. Really, I suppose, it’s more about ME continuing to truly be here for myself in all my growth and faith that’s behind my coming as if full circle in life to a place that resembles where I’ve been before, but exists on a higher plane now.
