SE5 - Ep5: The relationship we have with excercise with Gillian Hood

Описание: In this episode I speak with my former Centre for Mindful Eating board member colleague. This episode tackle a topic that I haven’t spoken much about before, here on the podcast, or elsewhere in my work.


It is an important part of this work I think we often don’t get into much in eating disorder recovery. Maybe because most of us who are professionals in this space are nutrition professionals or therapists, and unless we are really into fitness or sport ourselves, it may not cross our minds to ask questions about someone’s relationship with exercise and movement.


Though movement can be wonderful for most people, when in recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating it can be a complicated relationship.


I hope you will enjoy the conversation between myself and Gillian!


Intuitive Eating Coach Gillian Hood supports women in breaking free from disordered eating, body hatred, and a life revolving around food.


Women sick and tired of yo-yo dieting and the disordered or binge eating that follows, are able to create a peaceful relationship with food and a compassionate, positive relationship with their bodies as a direct result of their transformational work with Gillian.


As a certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, whose work is trauma-informed and aligned with the Health at Every Size® approach, Gillian knows these challenges are not about the food.


“Your thoughts & beliefs are key in overcoming struggles with food and your body,” she says. Clients trust her because she faced many of the same issues and overcame them using what became her proven Mind-Body Mutual Trust™ approach she uses with her clients.


For over 20 years, hundreds of women have embraced Gillian’s unconventional yet powerful and proven approach to rejecting diet culture, ever-changing food rules and unrealistic societal expectations for good.


Instead, by making peace with food and cultivating body respect, they learn to use self-compassion in response to difficult emotions and they develop self-acceptance, often for the first time in decades.


Clients say the best result from Gillian’s approach is their newfound freedom:Freedom from endless dietingFreedom from using food to cope with painful emotionsFreedom from the self-loathing & body hatred that drives more overeating


Clients learn their body is on their side, and with Mind-Body Mutual Trust™ they work with it, instead of fighting it, for sustainable outcomes that don’t require dieting, restricting or punishing exercise ,allowing for more time and energy to enjoy life and pursue their dreams.
