89. Parenting Intuitive Eaters and Healing Generational Body Image Wounds with Keri Baker
May 20, 2026
In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri interviews licensed clinical social worker and parent Keri Baker about body image, food, and raising kids—especially when both parent and child live in larger bodies. Keri shares her history of early dieting, years of chronic dieting, likely undiagnosed eating disorder symptoms, and finding intuitive eating and anti-diet care through supportive providers. They discuss parenting a child with ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), how it’s often mistaken for picky eating, and the added difficulty of seeking medical care when professionals dismiss concerns or focus on weight.
