Tiffany North: From Alcohol Recovery to Intuitive Eating Advocate
So what we have to do actually is become more in tune with our body, build that body attunement, have our body be the internal compass for how, when, what, why, like the way that we interact with food.
Imagine finding freedom from not just one, but two battles – alcohol use disorder and disordered eating. In this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', Arlina Allen sits down with Tiffany North, a registered nurse and certified intuitive eating professional, to discuss her inspiring journey. Tiffany opens up about her personal struggles with alcohol and food, shedding light on how trauma can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms.
She shares her transformative path to sobriety since 1998 and how it led her to develop the Food Attachment Model™ – a unique blend of attachment theory and intuitive eating. This model helps people tune into their bodies and understand their relationship with food on a deeper level. Tiffany also touches on the dangers of spiritual bypassing and the importance of co-regulation for emotional balance.
Her story is a testament to the power of self-compassion and staying true to oneself in recovery. Whether you're dealing with addiction, food issues, or both, Tiffany's insights offer hope and practical strategies for finding balance and satisfaction.
