Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

Katy Harvey

Are you tired of dieting, obsessing over food, and feeling like you're constantly at war with your body…but also wondering how the heck you're supposed to care about your health without falling right back into diet culture? Welcome to Rebuilding Trust With Your Body, the intuitive eating podcast for women who want to make peace with food, feel more comfortable in their bodies, and take care of their health - without dieting, tracking, restricting, or starting over every Monday. I'm Katy Harvey, a registered dietitian, intuitive eating coach, and eating disorder specialist with 20+ years of experience helping women heal their relationships with food and their bodies. Around here, we're not pretending that health doesn't matter, that body image struggles magically disappear when you stop dieting, or that intuitive eating means eating whatever you want whenever you want with zero regard for nutrition. Instead, I'll teach you how to become an intuitive eater who can trust herself around food, practice gentle nutrition without turning it into another diet, navigate health concerns without obsessing over weight, and build a relationship with your body that isn't dependent on the number on the scale. We'll talk about intuitive eating, food freedom, emotional eating, overeating, binge eating, body image, gentle nutrition, diet culture, perimenopause and menopause, movement, health, weight concerns, and what it actually takes to stop dieting for good. ENOUGH ALREADY with all of the diet culture nonsense. You are ENOUGH ALREADY as you are. If you're a woman who's ready to get healthier without hating yourself in the process, you're in the right place. New episodes every Tuesday. DM me on Instagram and let me know you're listening!

    #266: The Scariest Thing About Halloween Isn't the Candy…It's What Happens Next

    The scariest thing about Halloween isn't the candy, the sugar, or even the possibility of gaining weight.

    #265: The Eating Disorder Expert Who's Seen It All: Carolyn Costin on the Damage of Diet Culture

    What can eating disorder recovery teach us about breaking free from diet culture, healing body image, and finally making peace with food? In this very special episode of Rebuilding Trust With Your Body, I'm joined by Carolyn Costin, a legendary eating disorder therapist, author, and pioneer in the field of eating disorder treatment and recovery. Carolyn shares her personal journey with an eating disorder and how it led her to dedicate her career to helping others heal. We dive into what decades of eating disorder treatment have taught us about recovery, and why these lessons matter even if you don't have a diagnosed eating disorder but still struggle with food guilt, body dissatisfaction, emotional eating, or the desire to lose weight. Whether you're recovering from years of chronic dieting, learning intuitive eating, or trying to overcome food and body image struggles, this conversation offers powerful insights into what it really takes to heal. You don't have to have an eating disorder to benefit from the wisdom of eating disorder recovery. And this is a conversation you won't want to miss!   Episode Highlights What actually helps people recover from eating disorders, and what doesn't. The connection between diet culture, disordered eating, and body image struggles. Why our culture's obsession with thinness continues to impact our relationship with food. The similarities and differences between binge eating disorder, anorexia, and bulimia. What Carolyn means by "soul healing" and why recovery goes deeper than changing eating behaviors. How to make peace with food and your body when you still wish you were thinner or worry about your health.   Resources For Listeners: 🎁 A gift for listeners: Take Carolyn's free "How vs. Why" mini-course - the teaching video plus two readings from the 8 Keys to Recovery workbook.

    #264: If You're Feeling Discouraged, Scared and Stuck With Intuitive Eating...You Need to Listen to This

    Have you ever have days where you feel like intuitive eating isn't working, or you're frustrated with yourself for not being able to stick with it consistently?    Here's what you need to understand: This is a NORMAL and EXPECTED part of the process.    Instead of giving up and going back to dieting, what if you get curious and pinpoint exactly what's making you feel discouraged, scared or stuck - so that you can determine if you just need to "sit in the suck" and stick with it, or if it means that you need to be doing something differently for intuitive eating to start working for you.    In this episode, I'll show you how to figure out what you need to do so that you can get unstuck asap.   Episode Highlights: - The negative side effect that feeling discouraged, scared and stuck has on your brain and the decisions you make with your eating.    -How to use your frustration to help you figure out what you need to do differently.   -What to do to leverage your struggles into a breakthrough to help you move forward with momentum on your intuitive eating journey.  Today's Wellness Woo is vitamin K shots for babies.

    #263: What If Your Struggles With Food Aren't Actually About Food? With Jennifer Lancaster

    DM me "CHALLENGE" on IG to join the FREE 5-day Have Your Cake & Eat It Too Challenge happening October 12-16! @katyharvey.rd  Now…for today's episode… What if your struggles with food and your body aren't really about food or your body? In this episode, I'm joined by trauma and eating disorder therapist Jennifer Lancaster, LCSW-S, PATP, RYT, founder of Houston Healing Collective, to explore the connection between trauma, chronic dieting, eating disorders, body image, and the nervous system. We talk about why you can know all the "right" intuitive eating or eating disorder recovery skills and still feel stuck, especially when the deeper issues underneath your behaviors haven't been addressed. You'll learn: 1 - How trauma can show up through restriction, bingeing, perfectionism, exercise, and body disconnection. 2 - Why emotions can come rushing in when you stop using food or dieting behaviors to cope. 3 - How EMDR, ketamine-assisted and psychedelic-assisted therapy can help when talking about your experiences hasn't been enough. If you're frustrated that you "know what to do" but you're not doing it, or you feel stuck on your journey towards recovery or healing your relationship with food, this episode will give you things to consider that you might not have thought about before.   Episode Highlights -What actually counts as trauma (because it isn't always something catastrophic), and how it impacts your connection with your body and your ability to eat intuitively. -Why learning coping skills often isn't enough to fully heal your food and body image issues. -Where to start if you want to feel safer and more at home in your body starting today.   Resources Mentioned Learn more about Jennifer and Houston Healing Collective at houstonhealingcollective.co.   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey -Join Katy's Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! -Work with Katy -Join Katy's weekly email newsletter -Free Guide: Stop the Constant Food Obsession   Connect with Katy Harvey Website Instagram Facebook   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

    #262: The #1 Thing You NEED To Do On The Days You Don't "Like or Love" Your Weight or Body Image

    What do you do on the days when you look in the mirror and not only don't like your body, but you loathe it…and you're triggered to want to "do something" about it like cut out carbs, skip breakfast, or download the Weight Watchers app for the 11th time. If there's one thing I know for sure it's this: Hating and berating your body isn't a pathway to making peace with it.  On the other hand, you don't need to force yourself to "love your body" either. You do need to choose to respond to these bad body image days differently though.  And it starts with choosing to RESPECT your body. In this episode, I'm breaking down what body respect looks like when your body image sucks, you're desperate to lose weight, terrified of gaining weight, or you're tempted to throw away all the sugar and processed food in our house and go back to "clean" eating. Improving your body image doesn't mean waking up every morning obsessed with how gorgeous you look. It's much less glamorous: feeding your body, wearing clothes that fit, going to the doctor, moving in ways that feel supportive, and refusing to bully yourself. If you're working on intuitive eating, body acceptance, healing your relationship with food, letting go of diet culture, or making peace with your body, this episode will give you concrete actions you can do (and things NOT to do) on bad body image days.   Episode Highlights How quickly body image can send you right back into old diet-y behaviors that make things worse.  What NOT to do when you're having a bad body image day, you feel desperate to lose weight, and you feel super uncomfortable in your own skin. The difference between body positivity, body neutrality, and body respect. (Hint: body positivity isn't the answer here - and I'll explain why.) Practical ways to care for your body even when you don't feel confident in it. What it looks like to pursue nutrition, movement, sleep, medical care, and other health behaviors from a place of self-care instead of self-punishment Today's Wellness Woo is acupressure insoles for weight loss.   Resources Mentioned - Grab the free Body Image Journal Prompts Guide here! - Grab the free Daily 3 Body Kindness Journal here!   Read the full episode show notes here.   More Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey -Join Katy's Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! -Work with Katy -Join Katy's weekly email newsletter -Free Guide: Stop the Constant Food Obsession   Connect with Katy Harvey Website Instagram Facebook   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

    There are still more than 3 months left in 2026. What if, instead of waiting until January to "get serious" about your health, you used that time to actually become healthier…without going back on a diet? In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what I'm working on for the rest of the year, what's coming that I'm REALLY excited about, and what I want YOU to be thinking about in your own life as we head into the final stretch of 2026. We're talking about the moves you can make NOW that support your health while also helping you build more trust with food and your body. Because intuitive eating and caring about your health are NOT opposites. And you certainly don't need to spend the next few months trying to lose weight in order to walk into 2027 feeling better.   Episode Highlights -The things I'm working on behind-the-scenes that are coming your way in quarter 4 of this year. I cannot freaking wait!! -What I'm personally focusing on for my own health in this last stretch of 2026. -How YOU can meaningfully get healthier (without dieting) before the clock strikes midnight on December 31. -How to choose just 2–3 areas to focus on so you can create changes that actually stick.

    #260: What Does "Having a Healthy Relationship With Food and Your Body" Actually Mean?

    What does it actually mean to have a healthy relationship with food and your body? Is it eating nutritious foods most of the time? Never overeating? Loving your body? Not caring about your weight? And how do you know when your attempts to be "healthy" are actually starting to work against you? In this episode, I'm joined by Donna Friedman, a licensed professional counselor and eating disorder specialist who brings a unique perspective through her clinical expertise, her own lived experience with an eating disorder, and her experience as a parent. We talk about what a genuinely healthy relationship with food and body looks like, where the line falls between dieting, disordered eating, and an eating disorder, and some of the behaviors around food, weight, and exercise that our culture considers completely "normal" but may actually be cause for concern. Donna also shares why letting go of intentional weight loss can feel so threatening, what people misunderstand about body image, why changing your body doesn't necessarily change how you feel about it, and the less obvious signs that your pursuit of health may be costing you more than you realize. If you've ever wondered, "Okay, but what am I actually trying to get TO with intuitive eating and body image work?" this conversation will help you see what a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and your body can actually look like in real life.   Episode Highlights: -What a genuinely healthy relationship with food and your body actually looks like and how to know what you're working toward beyond simply "not dieting." -Where the line falls between dieting, disordered eating, and an eating disorder, including behaviors our culture praises as "healthy" that may actually be concerning. -Why changing your body doesn't necessarily improve body image, and why letting go of intentional weight loss can feel so threatening even when you know dieting isn't working.   Resources Mentioned - Connect with Donna Friedman here.   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey -Join Katy's Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! -Work with Katy -Join Katy's weekly email newsletter -Free Guide: Stop the Constant Food Obsession   Connect with Katy Harvey: Website Instagram Facebook   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

    #259: Our Thinness and Wellness Obsession Has Gone Too Far with Morgan DiPrimo

    We live in a world that is completely obsessed with weight loss, thinness, health and wellness…but we've completely lost the plot. From the glorification of extreme thinness that we are seeing everywhere right now, to the repeated message we've received that weight loss is good and weight gain is bad - it's so hard to embrace and accept our bodies as they are meant to be.   And on the back end of all of this we are seeing a crisis: eating disorders.   People are literally dying in their pursuit of thinness. Others are suffering from years or decades of a battle with an eating disorder that tells them they're never good enough.    My guest today, Morgan DiPrimo, is on a mission to change this. A filmmaker, speaker, and eating disorder advocate, Morgan has conducted more than 400 interviews across six continents with leading clinicians, researchers, policymakers, educators, nonprofit leaders, families, and individuals with lived experience. Her work explores the intersection of mental health, media, technology, healthcare, and culture, with a focus on identifying systemic gaps and creating solutions.   Morgan is currently producing Mind Over Mirror, a feature-length documentary examining the growing eating disorder crisis, the impact of social media and emerging technologies, treatment barriers, physician education gaps, and the future of prevention. Through the documentary and a planned national summit, she aims to bring together leaders from medicine, research, policy, education, media, and lived experience to drive meaningful change.   Whether you personally have an eating disorder or not, this is an incredibly important conversation that you NEED to tune into (and share with others).  Episode Highlights: -What Morgan learned from interviewing over 400 experts and people with lived experience regarding eating disorders and our relationship with food and our bodies. -How social media impacts our perception of our bodies and influences our behaviors. -Wellness that seem helpful on the surface, but are actually dangerous.
