Food can become stressful when it’s wrapped in “good” versus “bad” thinking.

Emmilia Smith, MS, RDN shares how judging food often turns into judging ourselves — reinforcing guilt and shame.

A gentle shift toward neutrality can help. Food can nourish you. It can support healing. It can be enjoyable. All of those experiences are valid.

Mindful eating doesn’t require changing what you eat — it invites you to change how you show up to it.

Emmilia Smith, MS, RDN describes mindful eating as bringing awareness and curiosity to your meals. Noticing colors, smells, textures, and gently shifting away from judgment.

Small shifts in attention can create meaningful changes in your relationship with food.

When someone is in eating disorder recovery, support can look different than we expect.

Dani Michaels, MS, RD shares a few things to keep in mind:

– Body comments, even compliments, may feel overwhelming
– Recovery is about small, ongoing efforts — not just visible outcomes
– Curious, supportive questions often feel safer than pressure or judgment

It doesn’t have to be perfect. Thoughtful shifts in language can create safer spaces around food and healing.

Food is not a reward system. It’s not something you earn.

Emmilia Smith, MS, RDN shares a gentle reminder: eating can be an act of self-care. Nourishing your body supports your energy, focus, and overall well-being.

If you find yourself stuck in critical food self-talk, compassionate support can help you reframe that narrative.

Why do we moralize food choices?

Dani Michaels, MS, RD shares that food can offer energy, enjoyment, comfort, or nourishment — and those benefits can look different for each individual. Labeling foods as “good” or “bad” can create guilt and strain our relationship with eating.

Letting go of rigid labels can create more flexibility and freedom.

Social situations don’t require you to override your needs.

New Year gatherings can bring a lot of noise about food and bodies.

This is your reminder: your body gives better feedback than outside rules ever will. Pausing to check in with hunger, fullness, and comfort is an act of self-trust — especially in social settings.

Listening inward can feel grounding when external messages get loud.
