Episode Description
According to the National Eating Disorders Assoc., approx. 11 million people are battling an eating disorder in the U.S. Further, almost 41 million women and more than 37 million men were reported obese in 2009-2010, says the CDC. Our guest, Angela Lutz, takes an approach to healthy living that will guide viewers to quit the numbers game. Lutz believes society is obsessed by numbers, rules and strict diet plans, all so we can fit into the accepted body image, size and look. Disorderly eating and a poor self-image are not things that can be remedied with a product off the shelf. Our issues are more than skin deep when unhealthy situations from the past dictate current behaviors. Freedom from numbers can only be found by uncovering and overcoming the root issues that drive beliefs regarding food and body image.

Recovery, whether it is from substance abuse or a mental illness, or both requires a treatment plan, which in many cases is as effective as treatments for other chronic illnesses. “One Hour AT A Time” will increase awareness about recovery and decrease the discrimination against individuals in the recovery process. Host Mary Woods, will help people understand the recovery of adults and families living with co-occurring substance use disorders and psychotic and/or affective illness over the course of a lifetime. Helping individuals develop the skills and knowledge they need to take personal responsibility for their health and supporting individuals in their efforts to get on with life beyond illness has been Mary’s mission and she now brings that mission to the airwaves.
