    177: What to do if You're Afraid of Food

    Amee Severson joins Paige to talk about her own history of fearing food and explains how she worked through it.

     

    Amee is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist whose work focuses on body positivity, fat acceptance, and intuitive eating through a social justice lens.

Amee encourages the belief that food can be enjoyed without guilt or shame. She believes that recovery from disordered eating is possible for everyone and that every person deserves to feel trust in their body. Amee doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all nutrition and health, so she works with clients to make health and nutrition fit into their current life, not the other way around.

     

    She holds a Bachelor's degree in Food and Nutrition from Montana State University, is a dietitian registered in the State of Washington, and is currently working toward becoming a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.

Favorite Podcast

This is definitely my favourite nutrition related podcast. As a recently graduated RD, I am so grateful to be learning about IE and HAES through this podcast (subjects that were sadly absent from my degree). Thank you so much Paige for your great work! Keep it coming!

Repetitive use of words

I want to love this show, but episode 181 the host and guest uses the word “interesting” 10000 times and it’s so distracting - I’m having a hard time listening. Their use of the word “curious” is also overused - so hard to listen to this episode.

Too much self promotion

Paige always spends the the first 5-10 minutes promoting her content.... Although I understand the hustle, it can be very exhausting listening to her ads especially when you’re driving and can’t skip to the content
