Listen Later

If you're stuck in a cycle of food restriction and calorie counting but can't seem to shift the weight and keep it off, you could be doing it all wrong!In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Yalda Alaoui, a certified health coach and founder of Eat Burn Sleep, to debunk the common misconception that calorie counting is the key to weight loss. Featured in Forbes, Vogue, and The Times, Yalda shares her personal journey of battling two autoimmune conditions and how it led to her revolutionary approach to wellness. We discuss the flawed nature of calorie counting, the importance of gut health, and sustainable alternatives that can improve both mental and physical well-being. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who has ever struggled with guilt over food choices or felt trapped by obsessive dieting. Learn how true health involves more than just numbers on a scale, and why emotional and mental well-being are crucial elements of a balanced lifestyle.While you watch this episode, it's important to remind yourself that you are more than your weight and our bodies are just a vessel to help us enjoy life to its full potential 🤍Let me know what you thought of this episode in the comments!
