In this powerful episode of Nourishing Lives, hosts Primie Cegnar from StellaEats and Allison from COOCO are joined by holistic nutritionist Maya Eid for a deeply human conversation about the hidden damage of diet culture.

From chronic fatigue and digestive issues to a full-circle transformation, Maya shares her personal health journey and how the obsession with “clean eating” nearly broke her. They explore:

• The silent harm of under-eating and calorie obsession
• How diet culture equates body size with self-worth
• Emotional eating as a signal, not a shameful act
• Why self-compassion and pleasure are keys to healing
• How personalized nutrition is not one-size-fits-all

Whether you’re recovering from years of food fear or just starting to question mainstream health trends, this episode is your permission slip to eat with joy, dignity, and freedom.
