The discussion explores intuitive eating as a return to the innate, peaceful relationship with food, characterized by honoring hunger, recognizing fullness, and trusting satisfaction without guilt. Harrison shares her personal journey from being an intuitive eater to developing disordered eating habits after gaining weight in her early twenties, and how she rediscovered intuitive eating through therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion. She addresses the common fear that intuitive eating will lead to uncontrolled consumption of "forbidden" foods, explaining that this is often a temporary "honeymoon phase" that eventually balances out.
