120: Practicing Mindful Eating & Self-Compassion with Diabetes

Can mindfulness and mindful eating work with a diabetes diagnosis? Is the compassionate approach to health—Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating paradigms—in alignment with diabetes management and treatment? Megrette Fletcher, registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, joined me on the podcast to discuss this very important intersection between mindful eating and diabetes. We talk about mindfulness-based nutrition therapy can improve health outcomes with a diabetes diagnosis. LINKS MENTIONED For individuals:
