Welcome to the HealED Podcast, where we discuss the intersections of food, body, and mind from an anti-diet and weight-inclusive perspective. Today, we are talking about the holidays and how we can navigate them when working on our relationship with food and your body.

This is a special podcast because we have some of the team members at The Balanced Practice joining us to talk about the holidays! On this podcast you will hear:

Jasna, our OG dietitian (also the first guest to be featured 4x on the podcast!!)

Fanny, an amazing psychotherapist (qualifying)

Hayley, the heartbeat of our clinic as the coordinator.

and, Marie-Pier, your usual host and the CEO of The Balanced Practice.

In this episode, we discuss challenges that may arise during the holidays and tips from a food, body & mind approach.
