In this episode, I am chatting with James who is a man in his late 40s who has been struggling with food addiction for a while now. He openly talks about different hurdles in his life and what brought him to where he’s at today. James shares with us some of his personal thoughts and life events that you may find very relatable.

After my chat with James, I will share some important facts to keep in mind about the subject of food addiction. I will also provide 3 things that can be done to support a person who has a food addiction.

Guest: Trauma, Grief and Health – Podcast

Today I am chatting with Sara. Sara and I initially intended to chat about diabetes, yet this episode quickly turned into talking about something else. An intricate pathway which led Sara to where she is today has impacted her health and she openly and beautifully talks about it. This episode is yet another reminder that there may be some events in our lives that could most likely turn into underlying triggers and translate into health challenges later on in life.

Sara, now in her late 50s, expresses quite a few invaluable points that will remind us all of the interesting and complex collaboration between the body and mind.
