When you feel out of control around food, you might jump to the conclusion that you are a food addict. Ingredients like MSG and sugar are said to be as addictive as drugs, lighting up the same pleasure centers in the brain as cocaine. So, therefore, they must be addictive… but, are they really?

If you think you have a food addiction, tune into this Intuitive Eating Session where I debunk the actual truth for you.

Health isn’t *just* about health anymore. Health is based in morality. Health, and health habits, have the ability to dictate whether we are a “good” or “bad” person. And as a result, there are a ton of people in the world in the never-ending pursuit of health because their sense of self-worth and need to be loved and accepted heavily relies on it.

In this episode, you will get a glimpse of what is at the root of your never ending pursuit of health and you’ll learn strategies to really see and understand your self-worth beyond what you do, what you eat or what you weigh.

Cassandra Hope, Integrative RHN comes from a long line of traumatized women who fell into the patterns that many traumatized people do, which worsened the impact of heavy drug and alcohol use in her early 20s and disordered eating born out of doing fitness competitions. On top of that, Cassandra was battling a mystery illness, which she later learned was mold toxicity derived from a place she lived in and breast implant-related illness. It was through learning and understanding autonomic nervous system dysfunction and taking a holistic trauma-informed approach to her healing that she has been able to heal herself and heal others.

In this episode we discuss:

• When Cassandra noticed the impact of mold toxicity

• Common symptoms of mold toxicity

• Who is most susceptible to mold toxicity

• How mold toxicity affects people with trauma differently

• First steps to clearing mold toxicity

• Why you should look behind your washing machine

• Breast implant related illness

When Megan came to me this May 2020, amidst the peak of the hardships that came with the pandemic, she was really struggling with binge eating, over exercising, perfectionism in her eating and body checking constantly. On top of all of this, she also had a laundry of food sensitivities that were adding to the complicated nature of all of this – or so she thought. After 4 months of working together through my one-on-one coaching program, The Intuitive Way For Eating, she no longer body checks first thing in the morning, she eats what she wants, she’s much more compassionate with her exercise regime. Oh, and those food sensitivities? We resolved them altogether – and they had nothing to do with the food. 

Episode Notes

In this episode we discuss:
- Why Megan reached out for help when she did
- How Megan instilled trust in intuitive eating after following conventional diets for so long
- What was actually at the root of Megan’s food sensitivities
- The major benefits Megan has noticed in her life since adopting and living out the intuitive eating philosophy
- How she made peace with her changing body
- What Megan is able to do now that all of her thoughts aren’t consumed by food and exercise

Tabitha Wills (formerly known as Tabitha Lavoie) joins us again on The Fill Your Cup Podcast after gracing us with her presence in episode #5. This time, to talk about how she is supporting her health while living with a chronic health condition known as Hidradenitis Suppuritva without triggering her previous disordered eating.

Episode Notes

Tabitha is a smart, kind, and hilarious human who also happens to be living with an autoimmune condition. She uses her Instagram platform to share her journey with Hidradenitis Supprativa (HS for short) and to educate others about this less-commonly known autoimmune condition that affects the skin and hair follicles in your body, resulting in large, painful lesions that can pop up primarily wherever there is skin-on-skin contact. She navigates this while also having a history of disordered eating, which she shares openly on her platform. She is married to her best friend, Logan, and lives in London, ON.

In this episode we discuss:

• What is Hidradenitis Suppuritiva (HS)

• The journey leading up to Tabitha’s diagnosis of HS

• The initial fears that came up around living with a chronic health condition

• Dietary and lifestyle strategies to manage HS

• How Tabitha kicked coffee to prioritize healing (as a former coffee lover)

• Romanticizing experiences as the antidote to having to eliminate specific foods

• The all or nothing approach when it comes to healing

• Meal prepping when eating intuitively and living with a chronic health condition

• Trading in the city life for small town life as a means of healing

• How Tabitha’s crocheted creations business “Small Town Creations” was born
