🎙️ Episode 24: Intuitive Eating & Emotional Healing — Navigating Food, Culture, and Motherhood with Raz Grammer
In this soulful and thought-provoking episode of The YAM Podcast, I sit down with registered dietitian Raz Grammer to explore the nuanced intersections of food, identity, emotional health, and motherhood.
While Raz’s formal training centers around nutrition science (her thesis explored the effects of apples and plums on bone density), her real-life relationship with food is anything but clinical. It’s intuitive, cultural, tender — and deeply human. In this conversation, she invites us into the heart of her kitchen, her motherhood, and her healing.
We talk about the emotional layers that live in our relationship with food — especially as mothers. How grief and control can show up on our plates. How children have a deep wisdom when it comes to food, and how we as parents can create a supportive environment that honours both body and soul.
Raz also opens up about her personal evolution — from being the kind of person who needed a plan, to becoming someone who could lean into flow, trust, and deep listening. It’s a shift many of us are craving… and she models it with such grace.
💬 This episode is less about food rules, and more about food wisdom. Less about doing it “right,” and more about doing it real.
In This Episode, We Explore:
🔹 Why intuitive eating is more than just a method — it’s a mindset
🔹 How motherhood reshapes our relationship to control, nourishment, and rest
🔹 The invisible stories we carry around food, especially in different cultures
🔹 Science and intuition — and how they can coexist at the table
🔹 The grief that sometimes underlies our food patterns
🔹 Creating connection, permission, and healing through how we feed ourselves and our children
Raz brings curiosity, depth, and calm — plus a book list you’ll want to dive into immediately (scroll down for that!). Whether you’re navigating your own healing, raising intuitive eaters, or just craving a more grounded relationship with food — this episode offers a warm, thoughtful pause.

Why This Conversation Matters
So often, we’re handed either a strict diet or complete disconnection — especially in motherhood. But what if food could be intuitive? Healing? Emotional? Spiritual?
This episode is your reminder that nourishment is more than nutrients. It’s about how we feel. How we feed ourselves and our families with presence. How we release control, welcome grace, and honor what’s true for us in each season.
