The Nourish Collective We are weight-inclusive, HAES® aligned dietitians who specialize in eating disorders & disordered eating.

We are weight-inclusive dietitians with a shared passion for helping individuals heal from eating disorders and disordered eating.

During the month of December, the holiday season kicks into full swing. This may mean you’re attending more social events that involve food, it may also mean there’s more of a constant stream of messages telling you to “prepare” for these events by “saving up” calories.

These messages can come from social media, coworkers, friends or it may even be your own internal dialogue - leaving you convinced that the only way to get through this holiday season is with discipline and control.

But, here’s the truth, you don’t need to save up calories, and in fact it often backfires.

Read our latest blog, “You Don’t Need to “Save Up” Your Calories for Holiday Events — Here’s Why” to explore how you can support yourself in having an enjoyable holiday season. You don’t need to shrink yourself to fit the season.

We live in a world that moves fast—sometimes faster than humans were ever meant to. Technology never needs a break… but you do.

When exhaustion becomes your norm, it’s harder to listen to your body’s cues, including hunger, emotions, and energy needs.

Rest isn’t laziness.
Rest is essential.
Rest is human.

Consider this your reminder: pausing is productive too. 💛

It can take time to rebuild trust.

Steps you can take to build trust between you and your body includes honouring your body.

Speak to yourself the way you would speak to a dear friend.

Listen to your body; working with a Registered Dietitian can be helpful to discover what this looks like for you.

Honour the subtle and not-so subtle cues your body is giving you. These cues could look like a grumble in your stomach, a craving for a particular food, irritability, or changes in your bowel routine.

The body has many different ways of showing you what you need to live a well-nourished and full life.

If you’re ready to dive deeper into understanding your relationship with food, observe the tools you’re engaging with surrounding your relationship with food ➡️ tracking apps, meal plans, scales, movement trackers, etc.

Are they helpful or unhelpful in building a supportive relationship with food?

Are there spaces that feel accessible to help you make space for your inner wisdom?

What would it be like to build a bridge from where you have been in your food relationship to where you would like to be?

It is okay to eat in the absence of hunger.

In fact, when we are in recovery, and beyond, there may be many times that we are eating in the absence of hunger.

Hunger is often thought of as this grumbling stomach kind of queue that everyone experiences in the same way. That simply isn’t true.

Hunger can show up in many different ways, and it exists on a spectrum, not a simple on or off type of sensation.

Your hunger cues could be showing up as:
* Feeling irritable (hello hangry)
* Headache
* Nausea
* Thinking about food
* Having difficulty concentrating on the task at hand
* Stomach pain
* Shakiness
* Perhaps what feels like sudden cravings
* Low energy or fatigue
* Daydreaming about food

Do any of these surprise you?

It is okay to eat in the absence of hunger, it actually could be the most supportive thing you do for your body today.

What is the “why” behind the decisions that you make around food?

Can we dig deeper and connect with what’s underneath that “why”?

Is it possible to remove food rules and work on nourishing yourself in a way that is coming from a place of care?

If you feel like you’re starting and stopping a new routine with food every other week, we’d like you to know

🌱 It is possible to feel pleasure and joy with meals
🌱 You will regain so much mental space once you find moments of ease in your relationship with food
🌱 Your relationship with food is dynamic, not something that can be perfected or achieved
🌱 You can build a bridge from where you have been in your food relationship to where you would like to be.

It doesn’t have to be a starting over, or a new thing you’re trying, but rather steps toward rebuilding trust between you and your body.

Intuitive eating can help you build this trust, so you can tap into that inner wisdom.

Get started with our Intro to Intuitive Eating Course today, this course was designed to support you, help you cultivate a peaceful relationship with food and learn to trust your body again.

My body is worthy of care and nourishment.

Offering nourishment is an act of care.

This body is inherently worthy, and I am learning to nourish it with kindness and intention.

🍂 As the temperatures begin to drop in our cities, and daylight becomes shorter, we’re reminded of the gentle nudge mother nature provides this time of year to slow down, and welcome in rest.

🤗 Rest is one of the foundations of self-care for your body.

🌱 Rest may apply to multiple states – physical rest, mental rest, emotional rest, social rest, sensory rest, creative rest, or spiritual rest.

⚡️ Each one of us is unique in where our lives may need the most energy and focus and what restores us in these areas. Understanding the kind of rest we personally need is part of reconnecting with ourselves.

💌 Our October blog is all about rest: why it may feel hard to cultivate, what is considered rest and how to reclaim rest. Consider this an invitation to reclaim the act of rest this season.

Food is meant to bring us comfort.

Experiencing pleasure and comfort from food is not a failure or flaw, it is actually very much part of being a human.

Let it be a reminder that you are alive. You are worthy of nourishment from all foods - the nostalgic ones, the comfort ones, the hearty ones, all nourishment, without guilt.
