When I got sober, I wasn't prepared for the almost immediate sugar cravings that ensued. Because I lied about my sobriety, telling people I had quit drinking because I'd decided to "get healthy", I knew I'd have to figure out strategies to curb my cravings or else risk being "found out". I read voraciously on the subject of nutrition. I learned more about addiction and the role of pleasure centres in the brain. I uncovered the inextricable link between my food and my mood, and I learned how managing my stress, prioritizing my sleep and focusing on moving my body worked synergistically to create a lifestyle I no longer wanted to escape from.
The next 18 years were about building a healthy relationship with myself, and I want to share what I've learned with you. Because what I've learned is that it's not about the food (although that IS part of it, and we DO go there); but rather, it's about what the food represents in our lives.
I want you to celebrate your life and your health, and together we will help you to feel the kind of joy and freedom you deserve.
