You Are Not a Before Picture [feat. Alex Light]

Are you sick of dieting and want to learn to find food freedom? Do you dream about the day you can stop obsessing over food? Are you done playing the comparison game and wish you could just love your body already? 

Well, you’re in the right place. 

The SociEATy podcast is hosted by Registered Dietitian and food freedom expert, Colleen Christensen. Colleen ditched dieting for good and became an intuitive eater after years of being controlled by food rules and restrictions. Now, she is dedicated to teaching others the exact steps she took to find food freedom.

Each week, Colleen serves up raw, real and honest conversations about things like binge eating, restricting food, over-exercising, calorie counting, body image and more, so you can learn to eat the foods that you want, when you want, without guilt, stress or anxiety.

Get ready to think about food less and start living your life more. The SociEATy is the last health and wellness community you'll ever need!
