Your Relationship With Food Is More Important Than Your Diet | Living Well with Dr. Jessica Turner ft. Caitlin Kiarie

Most of us grew up in a world that taught us food was either good or bad, earned or undeserved, something to control or something to feel guilty about. And for a lot of veterinary professionals — people who spend their days taking care of everyone else and not always great at taking care of themselves — that relationship with food gets complicated fast. In this episode of Living Well with Dr. Jessica Turner, Jessica sits down with Caitlin Kiarie, a registered dietician who has made it her work to help people untangle their relationship with food and build something healthier, more sustainable, and a whole lot less punishing than whatever diet culture has been selling. They talk about what a healthy relationship with food actually looks like in practice — not in theory, not on a meal plan, but on a real Tuesday when you are exhausted and it is 8pm and you have not eaten since noon. Caitlin breaks down the difference between nourishing yourself and restricting yourself, why so many high-achievers struggle with food in ways they never talk about, and what it means to eat in a way that actually supports the life you are trying to live. If you have ever finished a long shift and eaten whatever was in arm's reach and then felt bad about it, this conversation is for you. If you have ever been on a diet that worked until it did not, this conversation is for you. If you have ever wondered whether the way you think about food is actually serving you — this one is definitely for you. No calorie counts. No food rules. Just an honest, practical conversation about something that affects every single one of us every single day. Living Well with Dr. Jessica Turner is a Vet Candy original.
