Not the summer I turned pretty. The summer I turned free. 🥹🫶

Summer can bring joy and pressure.
If food stress or body image thoughts are showing up, you’re not alone.

At CV Wellbeing, we’re reminding clients:
- Your appetite may shift this season, and that’s okay.
- Rest is valuable, not lazy.
- You don’t need to change your body to enjoy summer.

Read our summer reflections here:

Summer can bring longer days, more social events, and sometimes more pressure around food and body image. If that feels familiar, you are not alone. This season often stirs up old beliefs about how we should look or eat, and it can feel overwhelming to navigate.

You don’t have to push through pain to prove your worth.
Movement can be a way to connect with your body, not punish it.
If you’ve been told rest is lazy or that food has to be earned, you’re not alone.
You deserve a relationship with movement that feels respectful, not rigid.
🔔 Follow for more support that puts your wellbeing first.

Ever feel like eating is harder than it should be? You’re not imagining it, and it might have something to do with your vagus nerve.

This nerve connects your brain to your gut, and when it’s out of sync, digestion, appetite, and even mealtimes can feel overwhelming or disconnected.

Our latest blog unpacks how the vagus nerve affects eating and what that means for your body, stress, and relationship with food.

“Can I be an intuitive eater and still lose weight?”
It’s a valid question and an important one.

In our latest blog post, we explore the nuance behind this question with care and curiosity. We unpack how weight loss fits (or doesn’t) within Intuitive Eating, why behavior-based health is a more sustainable focus, and how body image work fits into the journey.

“Every bite of food we eat traces back to the sun.” These words were spoken by the wise Janet Steady, one of our dietitians here at CV Wellbeing.

Earth Day is a perfect time to pause and appreciate this connection. Whether you’re enjoying a crisp apple, a warm loaf of bread, or a cozy cup of tea, you're nourishing yourself with a bit of sunshine. ☀️

The SDOH are the conditions in which you are born, grow up, live, work, and age, and most are beyond your control. They also make up almost 50% of the overall factors that contribute to your health, meaning that the SDOH is a testament to health and wellness being so much more than just diet and exercise. 🩺

One important SDOH is access to healthcare — inclusive and quality care, that is. Not always is this available to us (even though it should be), and this can threaten health outcomes. Reach out to us if you need more guidance to find access to care.
