In today's episode, Jena talks with Lisa Goldberg, fellow CNS practitioner and author of the book Food Fight, about the transformative impacts of mindset restructuring when it comes to weight loss. Lisa will discuss her journey with yo-yo dieting and its impact, what she calls a “dieter’s mindset” and how it's never really about the food, how to achieve liberation through changing thought patterns, and traditional medicine’s disconnect when it comes to weight loss. Lisa will also discuss some of her current clients who are on this journey themselves. If you’re looking to specialize in weight management, trauma and stress, mindset, or you’re just curious about the mental and emotional challenges of weight loss, this episode is for you.
