Dr Jen Unwin - Mind Over Matter: Exploring the Psychology of Chronic Illness and Wellbeing
I am joined by Dr. Jen Unwin, a fellow of the British Psychological Society, BSc, MSc, DPsy, FBPsS, a consultant clinical health psychologist based in the United Kingdom and a former chair of the UK Association for Solution Focused Practice, who brings her wealth of knowledge and clinical expertise to the forefront of the podcast.
With Dr. Unwin's expertise and extensive experience in working with the NHS to help patients manage chronic illness and achieve wellbeing, as well as her collaboration with her GP husband Dr. David Unwin in supporting patients with lifestyle changes, this podcast offers a refreshing perspective on managing chronic illnesses and promoting healthy behaviors.
Dr. Jen Unwin and I delve into the topic of low-carb diets and their impact on diabetes management. We address the controversies and challenges faced by proponents of low-carb diets while highlighting the extensive data we have collected on various health markers, debunking concerns about negative effects on heart health and kidney function.
We also explore the psychological aspect of food addiction and its connection to low self-worth, body image issues, and struggles with weight. We acknowledge the unique challenges of food addiction and stress the importance of forming a healthy relationship with food while being mindful of addictive foods.
Moreover, the conversation takes an intriguing turn as we discuss the role of trauma in food addiction and weight management. We delve into the connection between trauma and sustainable weight loss efforts, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach that addresses both food addiction and mental well-being.
Overall, get valuable insights, practical tools, and hope for individuals struggling with chronic illnesses and food addiction. Dr. Jen Unwin's expertise as a consultant clinical health psychologist, her collaboration with Dr. David Unwin, and her extensive work with the NHS make this podcast episode relatable and inspiring, allowing listeners to gain a deeper understanding of how to improve their own health and wellbeing.
