Shoulders Down
When you live in the diet mindset, you spend much of your time living in your head- constantly tallying, dwelling, and stressing over your food and lifestyle choices. When you become an intuitive eater, you learn to drop into your body and start living shoulders down. The territory below your shoulders contains your innate wisdom and power. Shoulders Down is a podcast designed to teach you how to harness your intuition to govern not just how you eat but also how you live. Shoulders Down Podcast is hosted by Anti-Diet Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Leah Kern, who works with clients to heal their relationships with food in her private practice, Leah Kern Nutrition.

- Aaron's experience being a dietitian who self-identifies as fat
- Balancing not framing recovery around body size while also acknowledging how hard it is to live in a weight-bias culture
- What Aaron learned from interviewing 20 men about their relationship with food and body on his podcast, Men Unscripted.
- How Masculinity creates an extra layer to body image work
- The concept of "bro science" and Aaron's thoughts on why men are drawn to things like bio hacking and optimization
