Love This Food Thing #60
Ancestral Trauma and the Voice Behind the Symptom
Esther Cohen is an intuitive wisdom keeper, eating psychologist and guide for embodied wellbeing. Her work delves into the root cause of illness...
“I think we can trace our disordered eating back to our ancestry and the past few 100 years where women in particular were put in the role that the thinner you were the more godlike or angelic you were. Numerous religious organisations had young women as altar angels and they were starved to death.’ ... and explores ancestral and familial trauma and importantly the voice behind the symptom.
“So much of our alternative thinking goes back to our origins. It’s our intuitive wisdom and knowing this that we have as our inheritance which has been sublimated by scientific research which is now looking at all the natural processes and realising they do make us healthier and happier.’
Tune in to hear Esther’s enlightening perspective on trauma, eating disorder behaviours and how to reclaim our innate wisdom for self healing to nourish ourselves with loving kindness.

How Disease is Held in the Body
We are going beyond the physical in this episode and exploring the consciousness of our body, organs and how that affects our physical body. We dive into the Biology of Belief and how dis-ease is held and expressed in the physical body. Exploring briefly the belief systems that most people with IBS and Hashimoto’s have and how we can connect to our authentic expression to direct our own story rather than living the story we were born into.

Nourishment and Embodiment
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL HEAR:
Esther Cohen, MS, RD joins us today to discuss Nourishment and Embodiment. How do we nourish ourselves with things other than food? We are consuming and digesting more than just food, but also our environment and our experiences. It's so important to be more present and mindful of the moment we're in so that we're more nourished by it, whether it's spending time with family or simply enjoying our food to it's fullest. But we also need to have freedom from food so that we can make conscientious choices.
