No matter how long you’ve been struggling with food or your body, healing is always possible. Lauren’s story is a beautiful example of that! She shares how she went from being an overweight child, to getting stuck in a binge/restrict cycle, to trying “intuitive eating” but hating the excess weight she gained from that…to finally healing her relationship with food and becoming a natural eater. We discuss... • Lauren’s experience as an “overweight child” • Gym culture, calorie tracking, and personal training backfiring into bingeing • Trying intuitive eating and gaining a ton of weight • Lauren’s rock bottom moment with bingeing and purging • Feel stuck between choosing food freedom or a lean body • How deep nervous system regulation and root cause healing changes everything • Control, perfectionism, and self sabotage • Leaving the clean plate club • How Lauren’s body, skin, relationships, exercise, and life have changed through Heart Led Eating • Excitement for the holidays instead of dread • The difference between the free Heart Led Wellness podcast and the full Heart Led Eating program 🔗 My Links JOIN HEART LED EATING Free Root Cause Identifier Quiz!
