This week, I’m bringing you a highly requested episode: Intuitive Eating and Diabetes. 

I’m joined by Lydia Leighton, a registered dietitian and nutritionist, to discuss how to navigate diabetes while maintaining a healthy relationship with food.

Lydia and I deep dive into Diabetes through an intuitive eating and anti-diet lens, including:

• Understanding what diabetes is and the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes
• How diabetes is not just governed by food
• Tests used to diagnose diabetes, and what those numbers and letters the doctor keeps talking about really mean
• How can we approach food and diet with diabetes in a way that aligns with intuitive eating principles
• Is there a "diabetic diet"? 
• Sugar - is it the devil?
• How to control blood sugar spikes
• Understanding carbohydrates
• How to listen to your body
• And we are debunking myths about diabetes
