When you live in the diet mindset, you spend much of your time living in your head- constantly tallying, dwelling, and stressing over your food and lifestyle choices. When you become an intuitive eater, you learn to drop into your body and start living shoulders down. The territory below your shoulders contains your innate wisdom and power. Shoulders Down is a podcast designed to teach you how to harness your intuition to govern not just how you eat but also how you live. Shoulders Down Podcast is hosted by Anti-Diet Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Leah Kern, who works with clients to heal their relationships with food in her private practice, Leah Kern Nutrition.

Customer Reviews
Thank you, Leah!!
I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be a part of Leah's listening community! Her podcast has been instrumental in guiding and shaping my thoughts surrounding my personal struggles – and triumphs – with disordered eating. I can confidently say that Leah's work has been key in my intuitive eating journey, and for that, I'm immensely grateful. Not only are her episodes rich with information, but Leah has a remarkable way of making her listeners feel like they're engaging in a heartfelt conversation right in their living room, over a cup of tea! It's the inviting and warm tone of her podcasts that keeps me tuning in. Whether it's through her solo episodes or with guest speakers, Leah has masterfully created a space for listeners to not only connect with her but, more importantly, to connect with themselves as they navigate these nuanced topics.
This podcast is dynamic! I feel heard! Validated! This is what I needed!
Leah is a wonderful story teller and interviewer as she is able to fully give her guests the stage to share their story, while also threading the needle with every question.
I also love Leah's ability to connect very emotional conversations with real data and studies - a beautiful hybrid we all need when navigating very heavy and flooded topics.
Leah is an incredible and empathetic host and listener
This podcast not only has an amazing selection of guests, but the conversations with each one achieves a level of depth that helps connect the listener to the broader human experience. Leah is able to achieve this with her incredible ability to listen and empathize, as she has helped me live more intuitively each and every day :-)
