214. What Intuitive Eating Really Means (And No, It’s Not Just About Cookies) With Dr. Blair Burnette

In this episode, Bonnie is joined by Dr. Blair Burnette, an eating disorder researcher and assistant professor at Michigan State University to set the record straight on what intuitive eating really is. Together, they explore how harmful diet culture myths persist, why so much eating disorder research is biased, and what science says about intuitive eating and health. This honest, evidence-based conversation offers validation and clarity for anyone who’s ever felt confused, frustrated, or judged about how they eat or what they believe about their body.

What You’ll Learn:

What intuitive eating is actually about (and what it’s not)
The psychological and emerging physical health benefits linked to intuitive eating
How diet culture has shaped eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors
Why so much existing research on eating disorders is limited and biased
The concept of interoceptive awareness and why it matters for healing your relationship with food
How structured eating can still align with intuitive eating
Why centering weight in healthcare does more harm than good
How personal and systemic change around food and body image begins
