Summary

When it comes to nutrition and health, there can be a lot to worry about: 

✴️ How do I control my desires and avoid the foods that are bad for me? 

✴️ How can I eat to successfully lose weight? 

✴️ How do I stop sabotaging myself? 

✴️ And can I stick to a good nutritional program for the sake of my health? 

If you find yourself having multiple worries around food, weight or health, you're not alone. So many of us sincerely want to get things "right."

But it can often seem like an impossible task. Our worries tend to get the best of us. They persist, and they're happy to follow us everywhere. 

Ultimately, our job is to learn how to find inner peace and calm in the nutritional storm.

And that's exactly what you'll learn about in this episode.

Tune in as Marc David works with Kesia, a mother of five who has multiple food and body concerns on her mind. Marc helps Kesia begin to let go of worry by showing her the very place where those worries are coming from:

➡️ Her beliefs. 

Kesia knows quite a bit about nutrition and health. She's an acupuncturist who's committed to helping others. And like so many of us who've learned a thing or two about what to eat, Kesia has some hard and fast rules:

✅ She believes that gluten and dairy should be avoided.

✅ She's convinced that she must lose 5 kilos so she can be healthy.

✅ She's certain that she needs to follow her own food rules perfectly.

✅ She wants her children to eat the same way she does.

✅ And she tells herself that her diet must guarantee her good health.

The challenge is though, life isn't always so neat and tidy. Kesia finds herself eating gluten and dairy as "reward" foods. She knows her kids will rebel if she eliminates these foods. And she finds herself worrying about her own long term health.

The good news is, Kesia – and the rest of us – don't have to be plagued by nutritional beliefs that cause us to worry and fret. 

As you'll hear, Marc helps Kesia unravel her beliefs one-by-one, while helping all of us understand how we can apply his strategies to our own life. 

So be sure to tune into this episode, where Marc empowers all of us to discover how to create a nourishing relationship with food – minus the worrying, obsessing, and perfectionism!

0:51.8

can wave your magic wand and you can have whatever you wanted with food and body, tell me what that would be for you.

0:57.0

That would be four to five kilo less and to eat in a more healthier way.

1:09.0

And more healthier way means for you, what does that look like?

2:02.4

that's just so much more practical to keep it simple and to prepare sandwiches when they need

2:07.6

sandwiches you know so would that mean you wouldn't even have any gluten and dairy in the house

2:15.1

2:20.7
