Next time you’re sick, you don’t have to stress so much about what’s happening with your eating. Believe it or not, your body is really smart and knows what to do when you’re sick. Whether it be that you have zero appetite, or the only thing you want is carbs…that’s your body telling you what it needs.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the do’s and dont’s for dealing with sickness when you’re trying to do intuitive eating. (Spoiler: It’s ok if you don’t eat protein or veggies for a few days - you’ll be fine, I promise!)
Whether you’re dealing with the flu, strep throat, a head cold, COVID or a stomach bug…this episode is going to give you practical tips (and mental shifts) to help you get well sooner, without worrying so much about what’s happening with food.
