One of our great friends and former colleagues at Joyous Health, Rachel Molenda, joins us today for a really fun and highly relevant episode. As an intuitive eating nutritionist, host of the ‘Fill Your Cup’ podcast and online Quarantine Dance Parties, and ‘stress eating expert’, Rachel’s mission is to help women obsess less with food and their body and to work with them to find their own unique, effortless, enjoyable and healthy way of eating.
Rachel’s knowledge on emotional/stress-eating and sage advice are perfectly timed as we navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. She not only describes her own battle with food over the years but also explores the causes of emotional eating and offers practical strategies that we can all implement right now.
