Rewriting Your Food Story with Elise Museles

Well Beyond 40 - A podcast by JJ Virgin

We all have a story. There are moments in our lives and in our upbringing that make us who we are and that guide our unconscious behaviors. This interview with Elise Museles helps us bring those behaviors to the forefront so we can make more intentional decisions around food. Elise is the author of Food Story: Rewrite the Way You Eat, Think, and Live. She shares her story about healing from eating perfectionism, something many of us get sidetracked with when trying to follow a healthy diet. Her training in eating psychology transformed her outlook on food and she no longer stresses about her dietary choices, and she shares her wisdom on how you can do it, too. You'll learn about how "food noise" and diet culture disconnect us from our body's signals, how stress (especially about eating) plays a role in how well you're able to absorb nutrients, and the benefits of intuitive eating for having a more relaxed and intentional relationship with food. Plus, Elise and JJ talk about how to avoid slipping back into old habits like emotional eating and stress eating—because changing your routine might be easy at first, but sticking to it is the real challenge.
