213. Breaking Free from Food Patterns and How Trauma Shapes Your Relationship with Food With Trauma-Informed Non-Diet Nutrition Therapist Tracy Brown

In this episode, Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor Bonnie Roney is joined by and trauma-informed non-diet nutrition therapist Tracy Brown for a powerful conversation about the mental and emotional roots of food struggles. Tracy explains how early experiences shape our neural pathways around food, why chronic dieting is an adaptation to stress, and how trauma (both big and small) can disconnect us from our body's natural hunger and fullness cues. This episode goes beyond food rules to explore the deeper meaning behind our eating patterns and offers compassionate tools for healing.

Questions Answered In This Episode:

How do childhood experiences shape our adult relationship with food?
What's the connection between trauma and eating disorders or chronic dieting?
Why do diets feel like they provide safety and control?
How does chronic stress affect digestion and hunger signals?
What does it mean when someone says "I feel fat"?
Where do I start if I'm feeling overwhelmed by my food struggles?
How can I build foundational eating skills while healing?
Why is support so important in recovery from disordered eating patterns?
