Hunger as a Compass: Reclaiming Your Original Relationship with Food

High on Healthy explores the “gut-mind” connection with Shirley Billigmeier, the founder of Innergetics. Moving beyond the restrictive rules of traditional diet culture, Shirley discusses how we often lose the biological “eating boundaries” we were born with due to early childhood conditioning and emotional “food noise.”

She introduces the concept of the hunger scale as a tool for metacognition, teaching listeners how to distinguish genuine physical signals from the nervous system’s desire to “detour” into eating to mask discomfort.
