This week I talked with Angela Clucas of Next Level Nutrition all about emotional eating. We covered the reasons why this happens, and Angela gave TONS of helpful insights on exercises and actions you can use to work on this. We also talked about emotional attachments to scale weight, GLP-1 weight loss jabs, Angela’s crazy experience doing a bikini prep, and much more.

All of Angela’s links are at the bottom of the shownotes - go check out her work!
