Old School Food Freedom
In today’s diet-culture society, food issues and body hatred have become the norm. But you were created to be FREE. Welcome to Old School Food Freedom, where we go back to the basics—God’s basics—for how we view food, our bodies, and our worth.
Hosted by FINDINGbalance Executive Director Chrissy Kirkman, this podcast features Biblically-sound experts, thought-leaders, artists, and everyday people who will inspire you to interrupt negative cultural soundtracks and rediscover God’s original design for your relationship with food and your body.
This show will deliver practical, faith-filled insights on how to break free from diet culture and body shame through the lens of scripture. If you’re looking for guidance on how to heal your relationship with food while deepening your faith, you're in the right place.

70: Christ-Centered Somatic Eating Disorder Treatment with Tracy Brown
The word “somatic” has been making its rounds on the internet in recent years. But what does it actually mean? And is there a way to incorporate somatic-based treatment ideas into a Christ-centered eating disorder recovery plan?
This conversation was inspired by a listener who reached out to ask if we’d have Tracy back on the show. (We love hearing from you! If you have thoughts or questions for us while you’re listening, use the one-way text button above to share with us.)
And the short answer… yes. We have Christ-centered and trauma-informed dietitian, Tracy Brown, joining us again on the podcast for the full answer(complete with scripture)!
If you’re wired to run treatment options and trending topics through a Jesus lens, this is for you! In this episode, Tracy shares how to use our Jesus-led wisdom and discernment, what the“Triune Human” concept is all about, and if it’s possible to find a Christ-centered, faith-based somatic treatment option for disordered eating recovery.
