Summary
Pharmacist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor Sarah-Jane Garcia joins us to discuss how smart people get caught up in wellness culture. She shares her path from the realities of being a pharmacist experimenting with elimination diets to how getting certified in integrative medicine exacerbated her orthorexia to why becoming a parent finally opened her eyes to the fear-mongering happening in wellness communities. Behind the paywall, Christy and Sarah-Jane discuss what it actually took for Sarah-Jane to break free from diet culture, as well as how she returned to conventional medicine through Intuitive Eating. This episode is cross-posted from our other podcast, Rethinking Wellness . Sarah-Jane Garcia is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with personal experience navigating binge eating, restriction, and obsessive clean eating. Discovering Intuitive Eating freed her from intense struggle with food—and inspired her to become a counselor, so she could help other women do the same. Sarah-Jane offers 1:1 coaching as well as a 12-week group program focused on the Principles of Intuitive Eating. She’s also a Specialty Pharmacist, and her approach blends science, psychology, and lived experience to guide you toward a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food.
