Doing a Whole30 is about so much more than food...it's about creating boundaries and finding food freedom. 

But most of the time, we turn to food to help us overcome or hide uncomfortable feelings. So many of us use food as a coping mechanism that food-related illnesses hit at an all time high. Recognizing this weakness, Melissa Urban created a Whole30 program that is designed to give its participants freedom from the bad habits and poor choices our diets have created, “I was looking for something and I was never going to find it in these foods”. 

The program is about much more than food! “It’s uncomfortable to deal with feelings.  Realizing that that discomfort is not going to kill you is really profoundly impactful”. Hear Melissa share in depth about the program, what it can teach you about yourself, and how you can learn to accept your feelings in today’s episode!
