    How to Quiet Food Noise & Find Your Way to Intuitive Eating with Sabrina Magnan

    From one viral TikTok post, we got hundreds of comments saying “Do I have an eating disorder?” So Foster and Cesar sat down with food freedom and intuitive eating coach Sabrina Magnan, host of the Live Unrestricted podcast, for a gentle but honest conversation about diet culture, disordered eating, food noise, and what it actually means to heal your relationship with food and your body. You’re guaranteed to learn about your eating habits as Sabrina breaks down the real difference between intuitive eating and impulsive eating, why willpower has nothing to do with it, and how the path to food freedom runs straight through your nervous system, your emotions, and the beliefs you inherited long before you ever chose your first diet. If you've ever felt out of control around food, trapped in the restrict-binge cycle, or exhausted by the constant mental noise, this episode is exactly what you've been looking for.
