Dive deep into the world of emotional eating, weight management, and the journey towards a healthier relationship with food in this episode of the Therapised Podcast, hosted by Dr. Lalitaa Suglani.

In this episode, we're joined by Van Patel, a bariatric dietician and founder of The Dietologist with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complex relationship between their emotions and eating habits, especially before and after weight loss surgery.

Together, we explore the nuances of finding balance between control and chaos in our eating behaviours and how past experiences and family dynamics play a crucial role in shaping our relationship with food.

Van shares her personal and professional journey, shedding light on the emotional struggles tied to eating and the transformative path towards food freedom. We delve into the intricacies of weight loss surgery not as a cure but as a tool that requires a holistic approach to ensure long-term success. 

We also uncover the importance of support, the challenge of changing lifelong habits, and the need for a compassionate approach to self-care and weight management.

Join us on this journey of self-improvement, as we aim to live more authentically, embracing the challenges and opportunities that come with understanding and transforming our eating habits.
