Summary
In this episode, Melissa Eich discusses the pitfalls of strict dieting and the importance of creating a sustainable lifestyle that aligns with one’s body and nervous system. She emphasizes that safety and control are not the same, and that true empowerment comes from nourishing the body, understanding its signals, and allowing for rest. The conversation encourages listeners to focus on small, manageable changes rather than restrictive plans, ultimately leading to a healthier relationship with food and self.
