Hello and welcome to my podcast, The Wellness Project with Des. On today’s podcast episode, I speak with Lara Days about how being intentional about the food and media you consume will support your mental wellness.
I’m Desiree, a Mental Health Therapist and Holistic Wellness Coach that is passionate about helping people improve their mental health and live a healthy and fulfilled life. One way I do this is by interviewing experts in the field of mental health and wellness as well as those that share their first hand accounts with their mental health journeys. In this episode, we will hear from Lara about intentional consumption.
Lara Days is a Certified Intuitive Eating Coach and yoga instructor who is on a mission to dismantle the diet industry and empower women to live their happiest, healthiest, and most confident lives. Lara focuses on helping women to improve their mindsets, unlearn past conditioning, and to trust their body in order to find freedom, ditch diet culture, and step into their power.
In our conversation, Lara defines intuitive eating- what it is, what it isn’t, who it can help, and who may struggle with intuitive eating. She also discusses the incorporation of physical, mental, and emotional health.
Throughout school, Lara was involved in sports but once she stopped playing, she didn’t really know how to take care of her body anymore. She began experimenting with different ways of eating and moving. She shared her experiences on social media and quickly began getting receiving many messages from women asking for advice, tips, and support. Lara quickly saw that people’s challenges with food and movement had very little to do with food but more to do with mental health and mindset. Lara focuses on helping her clients understand why they believe what they believe and where the negative self-talk comes from.
Lara shares the 10 foundational principles of intuitive eating and how you can incorporate them into your daily life. Lara also discusses how disconnected we are from our bodies and how we are constantly distracted and multitasking.
Not only do we discuss intuitive eating but our conversation goes deeper into all that we consume and how it impacts our mental wellness. Listen to this insightful and important conversation with Lara to learn how you can take a more intuitive and intentional apprioach to your consumption to support your mental wellness.
