#107 - Why Diets Don't Work with Dr. Amy Porto, PhD, RD
If dieting has left you flat-out exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally, I want to assure you that you are not the problem. The problem is that diets and food rules have called the shots for decades of our lives. New diets mean new rules. More rules mean more confusion. And in midlife, we’re starting to realize that our brains and bodies are tired of trying to do more with less. But why do you keep wanting to try another diet? And why do most healthcare professionals still recommend them? To help us unpack the many layers of the problems with dieting, I’ve invited Dr. Amy Porto to join me. She will help us understand why dieting “success” is so fleeting and why your real superpower lies in giving yourself permission to explore what hunger, satisfaction, and pleasure mean to you. So grab a snack and fuel your mind and your body as you listen to this powerful episode!To learn more about Dr. Amy and her work, connect with her on her website at www.amyporto.com or follow her on Instagram @dr.amyporto or on Facebook @amyportonutrition.Looking for a place to learn more about midlife, menopause nutrition, and intuitive eating?
