Episode 1: My Why: The Story Behind Food for Thought

Welcome to Food for Thought—the podcast where food, culture, and mental well-being collide. I’m Saabira, a dietitian and counselor, and today, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the story behind this podcast.
Why did I start Food for Thought? What inspired me to take a non-diet approach to nutrition? And how did my own experiences shape the way I help others heal their relationship with food?

This episode is a personal one. It’s about the moments that challenged me, the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and why I’m so passionate about helping you break free from diet rules, guilt, and food stress.

In This Episode, I Share:
✅ My journey to becoming a non-diet dietitian and counselor
✅ Why I moved away from traditional dieting approaches
✅ The personal experiences that shaped my philosophy on food and body image
✅ How Food for Thought was born and what you can expect from the show
✅ A message for anyone struggling with food guilt, body image, or emotional eating
