Why Intuitive Eating Fails the Women Who Need It Most (And Why ‘Just Listen to Your Body’ Isn’t Enough) (Outweigh)

Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

OUTWEIGH: If you’ve tried Intuitive Eating and found yourself even more confused, ashamed, or convinced you’re “broken,” this episode is for you. We’re digging into the hidden reason why “just listen to your body” often fails women who’ve used food to cope with stress, loneliness, or chronic dieting for decades. It’s not that Intuitive Eating is flawed—it’s that your brain’s wiring may be drowned out by emotional triggers and old habits, making it impossible to hear your body’s cues.

Join Leanne as she unpacks how Intuitive Eating can overlook the deeper, brain-based loops that compel you to eat when you’re not hungry. She explores why willpower alone won’t break these patterns—and why self-blame isn’t the answer. If you’ve been shaming yourself for not “getting” Intuitive Eating, this conversation will free you from the myth that you’re the problem and shed light on the real path to finding peace with food and your body.
