You have incredible credentials, but what I'd really love to know, and I know our listeners wanna know this too, what is the personal background that brought you to talking about this whole weight loss, emotional eating journey?
5:00
It all started when I was about eight years old.
5:03
I very much realized that my parents were not a good fit for each other.
