Body-positive dietitian Sumner Brooks shares why she started
bingeing at a young age, how she finally healed her relationship
with food through intuitive eating, how diet culture convinces us
we're "not good enough," why emotional eating is related to
restriction, why it's so important (and difficult) to accept and
honor your hunger, how conventional nutrition education leads us
astray, and lots more!
