Do you find yourself constantly worrying about what you eat, feeling guilty after meals, or struggling to enjoy food without overthinking it? If so, you're not alone. In this episode of Biohacking Bestie, guest Kim Shapira, founder of the Kim Shapira Method, shares her insights on how to cultivate a healthier relationship with food and find peace in your eating habits.Together we dive into listening to your body's hunger cues and eating mindfully, how food should be seen as fuel for your body, rather than a source of stress or anxiety, and how to break free from the cycle of restrictive dieting and emotional eating.Kim and I dive also deep into topics like intuitive eating, overcoming food obsession, and supporting friends who struggle with disordered eating.Kim Shapira M.S., R.D.
