Can intuitive eating and diabetes management coexist? Many people assume they can't—but that's exactly what we're unpacking in this episode.

I'm joined by intuitive eating dietitian Katy Harvey to explore what intuitive eating really is, what it isn't, and why it's often misunderstood—especially in the diabetes community. We discuss how intuitive eating goes far beyond "just eating whatever you want" and how it can actually support a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food while still honoring blood sugar management.

In this conversation, we cover:

What intuitive eating actually means
Common myths about intuitive eating
How intuitive eating and blood sugar management can work together
The ways dieting can damage our relationship with food
Why food freedom doesn't mean ignoring your health
Practical insights for anyone living with diabetes who wants to move away from the diet mentality

Whether you're curious about intuitive eating, feeling stuck in the cycle of dieting, or wondering if it's possible to care for your diabetes without food guilt, this episode offers a balanced and compassionate perspective.
