What is Somatic Nutrition Therapy?
In this episode of No Weight Loss Required, Megrette Fletcher introduces the concept of somatic nutrition therapy, a mindfulness-based approach that emphasizes connecting with one's body rather than relying solely on an intellectual understanding of nutrition. The episode includes a guided somatic activity to help listeners explore their physical sensations and encourages a compassionate, non-judgmental relationship with food and body image. Megrette emphasizes the importance of awareness and kindness in the journey towards wellness, inviting listeners to reflect on their experiences and share their thoughts.
This podcast is a space for a compassionate, weight-inclusive approach to preventing or managing diabetes. Here are some key things you will get from listening.
Somatic nutrition therapy connects us with our bodies.
Feelings are physical sensations that happen in the body. You FEEL your feelings.
Thoughts happen in your mind/brain. You THINK your thoughts.
Engaging in somatic activities can deepen body awareness.
The goal is to observe and describe experiences, not judge them.
Somatic nutrition therapy can release energy and emotions.
Cultivating awareness is key to reconnecting with the body.
Remember → Compassionate self-care doesn't require weight loss.
