In this episode, Victoria interviews Heidi Schauster, a nutrition and body image therapist, about supporting children in having a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. They discuss how parents can model positive behaviours, keep conversations about food neutral rather than moralistic, allow children pleasure in eating, handle picky eating, encourage movement joyfully, and more. Listeners can expect to gain insight into fostering body acceptance and food freedom for the next generation.

Key Discussion Points:
- How parents can support children in having a healthy relationship with food and bodies through positive modeling and neutral, non-judgmental communication (00:07:00)


- Setting reasonable limits around certain charged "trigger" foods if needed, while still allowing pleasure and food freedom (00:17:46)


- Letting kids tune into their bodies' natural signals and self-regulation abilities around eating (00:23:53)


- Making physical movement a fun, family-oriented activity based on the child's natural temperament (00:35:27)


- Signs that a child is struggling with food/body image issues and how to intervene and get professional support (00:36:43)



Key Quotes:
"I think the more neutral and joyful and relaxed we can be around food with children, the better." (00:07:15)

"If the child is jumping up and down and saying, I want ice cream, to just say, we're not going to have ice cream tonight, but we might have it later this week. And just nonchalantly, not not with a lot of emotion." (00:17:46)

"I would say that reaching out and letting them know that you are concerned is really, really important...the sooner, the better to actually let someone know that you're concerned, and potentially bring in some help." (00:36:43)

Join me and Sabrina as we dive into answering listeners' questions related to intuitive eating and recovering from disordered eating. We dive deep into topics like overcoming food rules and guilt, understanding your body's set point weight, finding balance with food and movement, and dealing with the fear of not knowing where your weight will settle. Listeners can expect to gain more clarity and tools for building a healthier relationship with food.



Key Quotes

"When you keep allowing the candy with as much quantity as you want to eat it, you will start to be less obsessed with it." (00:44:44)

"Living a normal life around food, particularly, is stopping with all the rules." (00:47:04)

"If the fear of that is also a 9 out of 10, you need a qualified coach or someone who can support you through this to ask you the right questions." (00:49:59)



Main Discussion Points

- Allowing yourself to eat feared or restricted foods can help eliminate obsession and restriction around them

- Recovering from disordered eating requires letting go of food rules and learning to trust your body's innate wisdom

- Seeking support can help face fears of changing engrained behaviours and stepping into the unknown

- There are many layers behind guilt and shame tied to food that are important to explore

- Balance with food and movement arises naturally when you nourish yourself without rules

- Understanding family history around size can provide clues but your body will find its healthy set point over time

They discuss modalities like somatic experiencing, cognitive hypnotherapy, and trauma-release exercises to help people heal. Ella shares how changing self-talk and cultivating self-compassion can change our nervous system's perception of danger.



Key Discussion Points:

- The connection between emotional trauma and physical pain symptoms (00:07:00)
- How trauma gets stored in the body's tissues and nervous system (00:10:22)
- Using modalities like hypnotherapy, trauma release exercises (TRE), and breathing exercises to release stored trauma (00:19:30)
- The role of feeling safe and social connection in trauma healing (00:30:09)

Key Quotes:

"There's actually a very weak correlation between pain and tissue damage. Pain is simply your body's perception of how much danger you're in." (00:09:19)

"You can't heal a body that you hate. And so if you're berating yourself because you haven't got better fast enough...all of that is going to be the same as someone chasing you at the spear to your nervous system." (00:47:32)

"We forget that that's what we're made of. We're all made of love. We all come into the world, just little amazing bundles of love." (00:51:16)
