Ep 60: Using Trauma-Informed Pilates to Reconnect to Your Body After an Eating Disorder with Kaysha Thomas

Just Eat Normally: Eating Disorder Recovery

We’re told to trust the food rules more than our own bodies. Diet culture teaches us that thinness equals worth and that hunger is something to ignore. But what happens when that voice becomes too loud to live freely?

In this empowering conversation, I am joined by Kaysha Thomas, a registered nutritional therapist and trauma-informed Pilates teacher, who shares her journey from restriction and body shame to food freedom and self-trust.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or ashamed of your hunger, and you've tried every plan, cleanse, or “fix” and still felt stuck, then this episode will offer a new lens.

We discuss:

• How to start building a more inclusive, compassionate relationship with food and your body

• How diet culture disconnects us from our bodies and builds shame around food
  
• Kaysha’s personal story of healing from restriction and reclaiming intuitive eating
  
• Why information isn’t enough, and how language and safety are key to healing
  
• The importance of trauma-informed care in nutrition, movement and beyond

• 
  
• What intuitive eating can really look like (hint: it’s not perfect)
