Intuited: Trusting Your Body On What And When To Eat

An illustration of a woman holding a fork and looking at two plates of food on a scale. On the left side of the scale is a bowl with noodles and meat. On the other side is a slice of cake. They weigh equally. The woman has a red question mark to the right of her face. A title reads: Intuited.

Intuitive eating can help you reconnect to your body's natural hunger cues and honor what it tells you about food.

Intuitive eating is an approach to food and health that encourages tuning into your body’s signals about when, what and how much to eat. Anita talks to a neuroscientist about how our brains respond to dieting and two registered dieticians walk her through the 10 principles of intuitive eating and what can change for folks when they relearn their body's food cues.

Anita Rao is an award-winning journalist, host, creator, and executive editor of "Embodied," a weekly radio show and podcast about sex, relationships & health.
Josie Taris left her home in Fayetteville in 2014 to study journalism at Northwestern University. There, she took a class called Journalism of Empathy and found her passion in audio storytelling. She hopes every story she produces challenges the audience's preconceptions of the world. After spending the summer of 2018 working in communications for a Chicago nonprofit, she decided to come home to work for the station she grew up listening to. When she's not working, Josie is likely rooting for the Chicago Cubs or petting every dog she passes on the street.
