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.

Cancer Healing, Intuitive Eating & Stopping Self-Blame with Erika Bent

Erika is the founder of Cypress Wellness Collective, a group practice that specializes in mental health and eating disorder recovery in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is also a certified eating disorder consultant and supervisor with the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals.
Together, we discuss:

- How she worked through the belief that her health is her fault
- The ways cancer impacted her relationship with her body
- How she advocated for her needs and forewent her naturopathic doctor's advice
- The all-or-nothing mindset around diet recommendations
- The power of spiritual, mental and emotional factors in recovery
