February 23, 202248. Why We're All Experts at Failing Diets with Dr. Robert Cywes - Not the What but the Why
In this episode, Laura and Judy share some real talk with Dr. Robert Cywes. All too often, we focus on weight gain or metabolic syndrome, but the root cause can often be an internal, mental struggle. Not everyone thinks they have a not-so-ideal relationship with food, but the truth is that many of us do, especially with carb addiction. This is a very raw and candid discussion about healing our relationships with food that ultimately can lead us to healing.

Not the what, but the why

Mind cleansing moment

Carbs as a form of emotional management

The power of choice (and safe boundaries)

The real reason for snacking

Demand-driven vs. supply-driven (toxicity)

One paradigm does not fit all

Death is a fixed number. Our choices subtract from the number

How do you foster: self-esteem, self-confidence and self-respect?
