Intuitive Eating Coaching with Gillian Yuan
In today's episode of the FoundHer Series Podcast, host Carrie Scollon sits down with Gillian Yuan, a former registered nurse turned body acceptance and intuitive eating coach, to dive deep into the world of food, body image, and motherhood. Gillian shares her personal journey with disordered eating as a young ballerina and how it led her to break free from the pressures of diet culture. As a mom coach, she now helps other mothers shed the guilt, embrace self-compassion, and live the motherhood they truly desire.
Carrie and Gillian explore the cultural marketing strategy of diet culture, which promotes specific body weights and eating habits as morally superior—something many people are entrenched in without even realizing it. You'll learn about intuitive eating, a framework developed by dietitians that encourages tuning into your body's natural hunger cues—without the judgment or rules of traditional diets. Gillian offers practical advice on how to start from a place of self-compassion, and how to reframe negative self-talk by asking yourself: Would I say this to my best friend or child?
