Shannon Hayes Buescher, MS, RD, LD, is a registered and licensed dietitian, Intuitive Eating counselor, and Health At Every Size activist. She is passionate about helping people to stop dieting, recover from disordered eating and make peace with food and their bodies. 

Amid these historic, turbulent times, Shannon is helping her clients to connect to their bodies, eat more intuitively and overcome emotional eating. In this episode, we discuss our society's diet culture, how it impacts us, and how it creates a disordered relationship with food. We also discuss the range of eating behaviors that can be present in times of stress, and how to check in with ourselves about that. Healthy mindset, body image, and many more topics were discussed as well, and Shannon even shared some nuggets of wisdom she learned from her personal health journey to help us all find freedom with food!
