| 0:13.7 | episode there's a link in the show notes. Thanks for listening. Enjoy. |
| 0:18.1 | People think that weight loss and disordered eating are the same thing. It's not the same thing. |
| 0:23.1 | And by the way, I went to school and I'm trained |
| 0:25.4 | and so I can recognize if you have disordered eating. |
| 0:28.2 | And also I'm trained so that I don't give you disordered eating. |

| 1:23.5 | So sometimes they can get kind of frustrating for me, |
| 1:25.5 | as you can tell. |
| 1:26.8 | No, absolutely, and I totally resonate with that. |
| 1:30.3 | But you talk about the behavior change around food and I think we're aligned with this as well like it's not just about food it's about your relationship with food. |
| 1:39.0 | What kind of advice would you give to let's say a listener that might struggle with emotional eating or |
