Shoulders Down
When you live in the diet mindset, you spend much of your time living in your head- constantly tallying, dwelling, and stressing over your food and lifestyle choices. When you become an intuitive eater, you learn to drop into your body and start living shoulders down. The territory below your shoulders contains your innate wisdom and power. Shoulders Down is a podcast designed to teach you how to harness your intuition to govern not just how you eat but also how you live. Shoulders Down Podcast is hosted by Anti-Diet Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Leah Kern, who works with clients to heal their relationships with food in her private practice, Leah Kern Nutrition.

In the intuitive eating space, we often hear that weight loss isn’t the goal—and in many ways, that’s true. But there’s a nuance here that’s sometimes overlooked. It’s easy for the message to come across as judgment toward those who do desire intentional weight loss, and that’s not what I believe we should be doing.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Whether or not you can do intuitive eating if you still desire weight loss
- How to hold the desire for weight loss while working on your body image
- Whats underneath the desire for weight loss
- Informed consent around pursuits of intentional weight loss
- Body grief
