In this episode, Bailey interviews Kierstin Gant the Founder of fearNOT Health Coaching. She helps moms unlearn fake truths they have been told about diets, fitness, and health to reconnect and have a loving relationship with your body. Kierstin specializes in gut health, non-toxic living, and mindfulness practices that combat everyday stressors while unapologetically putting women back on the priority list and making them be the body-positive mom they want to be for their kids.
In this episode, Kierstin Gant talks about body positivity and the unlearning of diet culture from a mental health perspective. She dives into the transition towards health positivity and good communication with our bodies.
Her personal experience led her to become a coach and help other women overcome fear and embrace their emotions to build healthy habits in connection to food and how they transmit those healthy habits positively to their kids.
It is important to have respect and appreciation for our bodies. Plus, we need to change the way we talk to ourselves and others about our physical appearance. We should be kind, respectful and grateful for what our body allows us to accomplish. Moreover, we have to change the speech around diet culture. Each of us needs to find what ‘healthy’ means and build from there. We need to have a different conversation with our body, instead of negative, we need to make it positive. Our body knows exactly what to do, so we need to unlearn what we have been taught about food and trust our gut.
Getting present to our thoughts and emotions, knowing that food is not a moral issue, it is not good or bad. We must learn about emotions to model it to the kids. As parents, we need to trust our kids´ intuitive eating. We don't have to eat everything that is on a plate. We must trust them and be supportive by letting them be free and make their decisions according to their needs for food.
