The Weight Loss Surgery journey doesn't end when you're discharged from the hospital. It ends when you feel comfortable and happy in your own skin, which for many people means that they found their peace during their recovery.

In this episode, I'm joined by Emma Gray, a Master's Degree holder in Clinical Psychology with great respect and experience with more eastern traditional approaches to healing sprinkled into her treatment plans. Emma believes the recovery process involves more than the physical, mental and spiritual.

Join us as we dive into the many facets contributing to your overall healing as you take on the world!

Episode Highlights:

• The best explanation of 'self-care'.
• Understanding the importance of self-care.
• Why some people find self-care difficult.

People like to think of weight loss surgery as the end-all, be-all for weight loss, but it's just a tool at the end of the day. Weight loss surgery is just as much of an emotional change as it is a physical one.

As an internationally accredited Bariatric & weight loss coach, Julia Lorent joins me on the show to dive into how we can permanently transform our relationship with food, our loved ones, and most of all - ourselves. There is a multitude of complex emotional and mental obstacles associated with Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery, but Julia is dedicated to helping people overcome their limiting beliefs so they can live the slimmer, healthier lives they deserve.
