On Before Dieting, we get right into the heart of women's food stories, the kind that are never talked about.
I've spoken with over a thousand women caught in a repeating weight pattern.
In each episode, I share one of their stories and use systems thinking to show how food became a solution to life's complexities.
and how that solution has now become the cause of their persistent weight problem.
As you listen, you'll start noticing how food choices and eating patterns are shaped early by life circumstance.
You'll hear how women built rules and systems around food, and how those systems, while they made sense at the time, have created an immovable, invisible force at the center of their weight struggle.
When you hear other women's stories, you'll begin to reconnect with your own.
In the weekly episodes, you'll gain new insights and reframes that shift the focus away from dieting and towards understanding food and weight in a life context.
You'll learn about your eight types of eating and how none of them are random or wrong, yet each play a central role in your current weight.
The ultimate aim of the podcast is to help you eat consciously, because when you develop a deep awareness of the rules and system you have for eating, you stop being blindsided by autopilot choices.
You regain agency, the kind that lets you choose consciously whether you choose chocolate or the salad.
