Episode Description
You are intelligent and educated. You manage a household and a job, career or business. You have a social life, activities, family and friends. You are also the manager of you; what you eat should be the easy part and yet food is in control of you. It doesn’t seem fair to reduce this complex scenario to two words, emotional eating, but that’s what we call it. When did it start? Who is to blame? Why is it so seemingly impossible to overcome? Is there a solution? My guest, holistic nutritionist Rachelle Wood, and I will discuss this dignity-stealing issue in the context of individuality and assessing the whole person. Over the past 7 years Rachelle has been helping Prince Edward Islanders lose over 125,000 lbs with her See Results weight loss system. The causes are many and varied; it’s more than just your emotions and it’s more than just what you eat. Yes, there is hope and there are solutions.
