Lose Weight Mindfully | weight loss, mindful eating, healthy recipes, emotional eating, boost energy

In today's heartfelt episode, I am beyond excited to share a deeply personal and emotional conversation I had with my dad, Dr. Franklin Gaylis.

I brought him on the podcast to open up about his experience as a parent navigating the complexities of supporting a child—me—through severe health issues, including my own battle with obesity and an eating disorder. We dive into the unique parent-child dynamics, the psychological challenges parents face, and why professional support is so crucial when dealing with disordered eating.

One of my favorite parts of this episode is when my dad shares his initial reluctance to join this conversation but hopes that by sharing our story, other families facing similar struggles will find comfort, understanding, and perhaps a bit of guidance. We touch on the highs and lows of my weight loss journey, my eating disorder, and the pivotal turning point that led to much-needed intervention.

This episode isn’t just about recovery—it’s about resilience, mental health, and the power of family support. Whether you're a parent seeking ways to better support your child, or someone in need of hope and inspiration for your own healing journey, this episode offers invaluable insights, practical advice, and heartfelt revelations that I hope will resonate with you deeply.

Plus, she opens up about her own journey from a major career setback to thriving in bodybuilding and building a successful coaching business.
