Nourish

How to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Self

By: Heidi Schauster

Narrated by: Heidi Schauster

“Food is Love (But Don’t Eat Too Much!)”

Eat less. Eat clean. Avoid these foods. Eating is a life-giving pleasure, but confusing messages from the diet and nutrition industries may leave you wondering what to eat. Do you find yourself:

Eating food that doesn’t nourish or energize you?

Munching mindlessly or emotionally?

Flipping between feeling "good" and "bad" about your eating?

Thinking about food and your body more than you’d like?

Discover how to trust your body, and to eat with love and common sense:

• Eat without deprivation or overeating.
• Accept your body and trust its wisdom.
• Deal with setbacks, destructive thoughts, and self-defeating attitudes.
• Create healthy habits to nurture yourself.
• Ditch dieting so you free yourself to live a life you love.

Nourish will guide you to transform your eating from self-control to self-love, using a 10-step healing process. In this book, Heidi Schauster, MS, RDN, CEDRD-S, founder of Nourishing Words Nutrition Therapy, shares 20 years of wisdom from her Boston-area practice treating disordered and emotional eating.

Couldn’t finish

I can’t stand the sound of the tongue clicking at the beginning of various sentences. About 50% of the book. I hate mouth noises. Other than that, the voice and clarity relative to speaking is nice to listen to. But I can’t get over the tongue noise. It makes it hard to listen to what she has to say.

A must have book.

Ms. Schauster really hits the nail on the head with this book. If we were all truly happy with ourselves and loved ourselves and our bodies fully, the world would surely be a better one for all. Five stars!

Important and Compassionate

I read this book a few years ago and recently listened to the audiobook. Heidi writes with such empathy and this is reiterated in the audiobook, as she speaks with such compassion. Nourish provides the reader with insight from personal and professional experience, which makes the steps highlighted in this book so clear and engaging. It touches on very important aspects of having a healthy relationship with food and your body, addressing how messages from today’s society can make this more difficult. I think that this book is extremely important and I would recommend it to everyone! As diet culture becomes more prominent, I am hopeful that this book can make a change and help many people.

Valuable

I enjoyed this book and found a lot of good insight and inspiration- but I do wish the author had offered a downloadable pdf of her charts and lists that she mentions and refers to. Instead she suggests getting the print or e book version- but I’ve already bought this audio book and don’t feel inclined to re-purchase it in another form just to have access to her workbook aspects.

A Roadmap of Nourishment

Nourish offers a comprehensive map for unlocking the wisdom of our bodies and minds in the exploration and restoration of nourishing ourselves.

It has served as an essential and life-changing framework throughout my journey of deepening freedom around my relationship with food, body, and sense of self.

May this book catalyze the reunion of returning home within yourself.
