Misconceptions About Intuitive Eating: Body Image and Binge Behaviors

Intuitive eating is more than a trend — it’s a deeply personal, evidence-based approach to healing your relationship with food and your body. But even with the best intentions, it’s easy to misunderstand what intuitive eating really means, especially when struggling with body image concerns or binge-restrict cycles.

In this honest and supportive conversation, registered dietitian Calee Gibbs and therapist Polly Sackett clear up common myths and dive into the emotional layers of eating. They discuss:

  • Why intuitive eating isn’t “giving up”

  • How body image issues can cloud hunger cues

  • The connection between binge behaviors and restriction

  • Practical ways to move toward trust, balance, and self-compassion

Whether you're a parent, clinician, or on your own food freedom journey, this video offers insight, validation, and hope.
