Dr. Jenn Salib-Huber: Making Peace with Your Body in Midlife
Watch the podcast, above, or listen below.
My friend Jenn Salib-Huber is a Registered Dietitian, Naturopathic Doctor, and intuitive eating advocate who provides health and hormone education to women in midlife without a side of diet culture, so they can make peace with food, aging, and hot flashes and find the confidence they deserve in midlife.
In this episode of Bite-Sized Balance, Jenn and I discuss the concept of “un-dieting your life”, body neutrality v. body positivity, the second peak of body dissatisfaction that occurs in perimenopause, the real factors that contribute to our weight regulation (they're not what you think!), and why weight loss will never protect us from a negative body image.
We also discuss how we, as mothers, can help break the generational cycle and give our kids freedom from body image issues.
I reflect on my experience with weight and intuitive eating principles after ditching the scale five years ago and moving through the hormonal shifts and body changes of menopause.
Jenn provides some strategies for starting to create resiliency and neutrality around your own body image.
