Are you feeling overwhelmed about the information on what you should and shouldn’t eat? Do you want to break free from food restrictions and heal your relationship with food?
In today’s episode, I chat with Mindy Gorman-Plutzer, a certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner, about reclaiming our relationship with food, especially in midlife. If you’ve struggled with emotional eating, confusion over what to eat, or making sense of the dieting rules out there, this episode is for you.
Mindy’s new book, Midlife Metamorphosis, explores tools like the Pause Technique and the concept of radical acceptance to help you break free from food restrictions and embrace nourishment. We discuss how to heal the disconnect between the mind and body, and why midlife is the ideal time for transformation.
Tune in and discover how to shift your mindset and approach to food, allowing you to experience true freedom and joy with every meal.
“Food freedom is not about eating whatever you want whenever you want. Food freedom is about making choices confidently from that place of abundance, not from a place of scarcity.“
