with Carly Pollack

Episode Notes:

Award-winning holistic nutritionist Carly Pollack talks about her book Feed Your Soul: Nutritional Wisdom to Lose Weight Permanently and Live Fulfilled. In the conversation, Carly talks about:

• Her personal struggles with weight loss until she realized that losing weight is about more than just eating less and exercising; 

• Why there's no single diet that is right for everyone, nor one that is right for any single person ALL the time.

• The importance of paying attention to the thoughts and emotions underlying weight struggles and the desire to go on a diet.

• Why self-care is essential to weight loss, and how true self-care arises from self-love. 

• The role of "manifesting" in achieving optimal weight and good health.

• The role of gratitude and how dropping “love bombs” on other people helps you achieve your goals.
