Often we are so focused on surface-level problems like weight gain, bloating and bad skin, that we miss out on addressing the real, underlying health issues. Underlying issues like stress, irregular sleep, bad digestion, and a lack of movement and mindfulness. In this episode, we look at throwing out the fad diets, restrictive eating patterns, unhelpful bedtime routines and anything that doesn't serve a fulfilling, balanced lifestyle. You'll hear all about a holistic approach to health that goes beyond surface-level metrics like weight and skin care, focusing on the importance of nutrition, mindfulness, and self-exploration in achieving true food freedom and vibrant living.
