79: You Will Never Fix Your Relationship With Food
Episode 79
Sunday, 29 June, 2025
Send us a textLet’s get one thing clear: there’s a solid chance that all the podcasts, therapy sessions, and journal prompts in the world aren’t going to “heal” your relationship with food. And if you’ve been beating yourself up about that, maybe it’s time you stopped.In this episode, I take a flamethrower to the feel-good fantasy of someday reaching the mystical land where food is just food, moderation is natural, and donuts in the freezer don't haunt you at 1am.Sound depressing? It’s not. It’s actually the most freeing thing I’ve ever realized.👉 We’ll dive deep into how the idea of a “healthy relationship with food” has been marketed, commodified, and sold back to us—packaged as therapy speak mixed with wellness fluff. Between body positivity, diet culture backlash, and therapy culture going mainstream, we’ve now got two extremes: cold, clinical rehab models on one side, and “just eat intuitively!” influencers on the other.Neither works for everyone. And they don’t have to.💡 What if you’re not broken? What if you’re just one of the people who will never be able to moderate certain foods—and that doesn’t make you weak or traumatized or in need of more healing? It just means you’re operating with a different rulebook. And once you accept that, everything gets simpler.We also pull in professional insights to balance out my usual rants (clip @ 1:12), and I’ll explain why trying to measure your relationship with food is like trying to measure your marriage with a FitBit.This episode covers:Why some people will never have a “normal” relationship with foodEmotional eating vs. real food addiction (and why that debate is dumb)The failure of “moderation” as a blanket prescriptionWhy the “no bad foods” narrative is half-right and still mostly wrongWhen professional help is useful—and when it just sells false hopeWhat peace and clarity actually look like, even if “healing” never comesIf you’ve ever done everything right and still feel like food owns you—this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.And if you’re one of the lucky ones who can moderate, you’ll still walk away with a better understanding of the other half who can’t. And maybe a little more compassion.This isn’t a pity party or a self-help pep talk. It’s a brutally honest conversation about reality, and how to live within it.Because once you stop chasing the dream of being “healed,” you can finally start building a life that works.🧠 Subscribe for more no-BS insights on health, food, mindset, and why the industry keeps getting it wrong.🎧 Available now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts & wherever you listen.Support the show@RealAndrewBriggs @HolisticMotionco HolisticMotion.com
