In this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about the root causes of guilt and shame around food and eating. He explains that although knowing the origin of a problem may not play a role in its resolution, it can help to generalize the skills one has learned in resolving similar problems in the past. Self-esteem, coupled with demandingness, leads to guilt and shame. He argues that self-esteem is the valuation of one’s entire being based on the perceived acceptance from others, perceived superiority over others, and the pressures one puts on oneself. It practically always leads to destroying human worth, although it has practical utility. Dr. Kashey emphasizes the importance of self-respect over self-esteem and urges listeners to stubbornly refuse to make themselves miserable around food and eating in order to foster positive and constructive outcomes with their bodies.

In this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about the practical nature of the ongoing discussion of how sugar is toxic to the body. He reviews some of the ideas from the previous lesson and highlights some areas for improvement. He explains that metabolic health, often confused with body weight, is separate from it. He emphasizes the importance of being active to maintain metabolic health and how modifying sugar intake is not the only solution. He argues that becoming harsher and stricter with one’s diet is not the answer to maintaining good health. Instead, he stresses the importance of being more active, the most significant modifiable metabolic health factor. Dr. Kashey also discusses how feeling overly restricted with food and eating can lead to fear, anxiety, guilt, hostility, and frustration.
