Synopsis

In this much-needed counterpoint to the current diet culture, Sue Van Raes presents new science and psychology for food freedom and body compassion that have helped thousands of women improve their health and their lives

After working with hundreds of clients over two decades, functional nutritionist and food psychology specialist Sue Van Raes has realized that what we eat is not just about food. More than ever, it's about our relationship with food, and that relationship has become increasingly stressed. Food and Freedom is a journey to reclaiming our wholeness so that we can experience more integration, mindfulness, and personal fulfillment around food and in life. <p/> Food and Freedom is a road map for readers to make long-lasting peace with their plates. Detailing how they can begin an inner journey of healing their relationship with food, Van Raes presents: <p/> - the eight-step customized protocol used in her workshops and private practice
- techniques for aligning with one's own biochemistry and natural bodily cycles to attain satiation and metabolic health
- practices for developing self-compassion and amending a self-critical mindset
- real-life case studies from her clinic that explore how to put her approach into action
- bite-size "self-studies" that give readers immediate insight into their eating and lifestyle habits
- revelations from her own struggles with food and eating
- sample recipes, practices, exercises, and more <p/> Food and Freedom is designed to give readers the strength and independence to show up in life as who they really are, to trust themselves through the innate intelligence of their bodies, to remedy emotional eating, and to prosper with embodied self-care. <p/>
