80 - Abstinence Vs. Moderation: What’s Healthy

In this episode, I dive into the age-old debate: moderation vs. abstinence in diet and health. Have you ever found yourself torn between which approach is best for your well-being? I'm here to unravel the complexities.

Exploring moderation and abstinence, we first define these terms to understand their implications on our dietary habits. 

We navigate through the noise of conflicting information and personal beliefs to shed light on the nuances surrounding these dietary practices. Drawing from the experiences of those grappling with eating disorders, we uncover the psychological complexities intertwined with food choices.

But let's clear the air: seeking help for eating disorders is crucial, and it's okay to reach out for professional support. Beyond the realm of nutrition, mental health plays a pivotal role in fostering a healthy lifestyle.

As a nutritional therapy practitioner, I emphasize the importance of nourishing our bodies with wholesome foods. While indulgence can be part of a balanced lifestyle, it's essential to discern what serves our health goals.

Beyond dietary choices, we touch upon other health modalities, such as exercise and fasting, emphasizing the importance of approaching them with mindfulness and purpose.

In essence, whether we choose moderation, abstinence, or a blend of both, it's vital to prioritize our health both physical and mental. Our bodies are unique, and honoring their needs requires honesty and self-awareness.

Join me on this journey to uncovering a holistic approach to health—one that nourishes both body and mind. And remember, the path to wellness begins with understanding and compassion for ourselves.
