The highs and lows of eating: Using food to feel “normal” by Huddol

Huddol Lifecast Episode 22

Is there bad and good food? Simple answer, yes. Some foods nourish the body, some foods put more stress on the body, particularly in excess.

New sets of problems arise when we start associating our sense of self with what and how we eat. This is a growing problem that is expressing itself in vanity dieting, the rise in eating disorders, and the multi billion-dollar nutrition industry that is constantly selling consumers a new way of thinking about their relationship to food.

In this latest Huddol Lifecast we talk with Dina Merhbi, Nutritional Therapist, about how our relationship to food can either set us on a healthy or unhealthy path. Dina believes that we need to get back to seeing food “as it is” and help people unwrap their emotional lives from their food lives.

“Proper nutrition is not just what you’re eating, but how you’re thinking about and perceiving food.”
