Anyone that is familiar with Intuitive Eating knows that two of the most important components of this practice are letting go of food rules and giving yourself unconditional permission to eat.
But what if someone has a medical condition, like a food allergy or Celiac Disease, and their doctor has prescribed them a restricted diet? Can that person still be an intuitive eater? As someone living with clinically-indicated allergies to peanuts, wheat, and oat, I believe that the answer is yes!
In this episode I talk to Adrianne Finn, a certified SCOTT Pilates instructor, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Certified Yoga Teacher, TRX and barre instructor.
