Helping you break up with diets and reclaim your power around food 🙌🏽💕 ED dietitian | Intuitive Eating Counsellor | Yoga Teacher 💫 Founder @embodyhealthldn
You can’t expect to improve your relationship with food if you aren’t present or feel unsafe in your body. Embodiment work is the foundation and too often overlooked.

Essentials to embodiment🧡
breathing: conscious breath
grounding: root down and feel the support from the earth beneath you
sounding: use sound to move energy outward and process - *sigh* *yawn*
Being told you’re not “sick enough” to seek ED recovery support is like being diagnosed with stage 1 cancer and being told you’re not sick enough for treatment.
Early intervention is key and your struggles are valid regardless of diagnostic criteria.

Recovery is like frostbite, it hurts more as it heals. But nobody has ever gotten better from frostbite by running back into the blizzard.
Keep fighting ❤️

Eating disorders are serious #mentalillnesses and need to be judged on someone’s mental health NOT on BMI
You can join the fight to change this by adding your name to #DumpTheScales

We are extremely disappointed that the Govt has continued with these plans, despite clear evidence it is ineffective and dangerous to people affected by eating disorders.
We urge parliamentarians to protect people with EDs and oppose this legislation.

Calorie labelling on menus is ineffective, and dangerous to people affected by eating disorders.
We’ve drafted a letter asking your MP to oppose this legislation - take action here: https://t.co/PY7VRg9ffk
We need to stop praising weight loss in childhood and adolescence. Or worse, bringing them to WW or Slimming world to tag along.
Children should focus on GROWING not shrinking themselves. Period.
This clinic week I have heard 3 adolescent clients tell me that they have been measured or weighed in school which triggered guilt and doubt about their bodies.
This is NOT okay. How is this still (or ever) happening in 2021?!

@JodieGoodacre Oh my word. This is unacceptable. Too many times I’ve hearD clients tell me how unhelpful and actually triggering their NHS teams can be. This is why! ED is a specialist area and highly underfunded. We need to see change!
I really wish this was a joke.
A friend who was discharged from the ward in December has only just been allocated her ‘specialist’ Eating Disorder doctor
...and this is him.
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something doesn’t add up...
Eating is a vital action and essential for life.
You only need to feel as much guilt for eating as you do for breathing (i.e. none at all!)
