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 this solo episode, Leah talks about why it can feel so hard to figure out what to eat when you’re coming from a history of dieting.
She outlines some of the main obstacles she sees clients running into, and then offers a solution for how to transition into intuitive eating without feeling like you’re free falling.
She gets into:
- Why figuring out what to eat is likely a muscle you haven’t strengthen
- How loosing the structure of dieting can feel destabilizing and overwhelming.
- The obstacle of knowing what sounds good but not knowing how to reconcile that with what would feel good in your body.
- The missing nutrition education necessary to be able to make informed eating decisions.
- A brand new tool Leah created to give you gentle structure in figuring out what to eat, without rigid diet rules.
