The first step towards lasting change is having a deep understanding of your current state of operating.

In this epi we begin unpacking and understanding the old familiar, ever common "wagon" approach towards eating; I'm all on the wagon eating only kale + chia seeds, or I'm OFF eating only pizza + ice cream.

These next few episodes will help you let go of this rigid way of thinking (blow up the wagon) and allow you to embrace a more peaceful, sustainable mentality towards food- getting you closer to the healthy lifestyle of your dreams!
