89. Parenting Intuitive Eaters and Healing Generational Body Image Wounds with Keri Baker
In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri interviews licensed clinical social worker and parent Keri Baker about body image, food, and raising kids—especially when both parent and child live in larger bodies. Keri shares her history of early dieting, years of chronic dieting, likely undiagnosed eating disorder symptoms, and finding intuitive eating and anti-diet care through supportive providers. They discuss parenting a child with ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), how it's often mistaken for picky eating, and the added difficulty of seeking medical care when professionals dismiss concerns or focus on weight. 04:02 From Diet Culture to Intuitive Eating 09:43 Parenting With ARFID 13:04 Weight Stigma in Healthcare 22:30 Talking Body Image With Teens 28:33 Intuitive Eating Starts With You 29:51 Division of Responsibility Basics 31:04 When Kids Eat Differently 37:45 Good Enough Nourishment 39:30 Habituated Foods and Interoception 44:25 Advocating at Doctor Visits WANT MORE OF KERI BAKER? https://www.keribaker.com/ https://www.dietrecoveryclub.com/ WANT MORE OF BRI? *Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri *Website: https://bodyimagewithbri.com/ *Bri's Free Resource: 7-Step Guide to Shift Body Grief to Radical Body Acceptance https://www.bodyimagewithbri.com/seven-steps
