18. Emotional Eating...Am I Avoiding The Signs? Michelle Lall Offers Guidance and Insight!

Alicia's emotional eating journey has been all over the place!  She's either been on the "right" track or completely off the rales! This conversation with Michelle provides some understanding and peace around how avoiding emotional eating habits must be addressed! In order to change the long-time habits of emotional eating, we have to acknowledge they exist and find ways to create positive change in our everyday eating rituals! Michelle Lall is a Toronto-based Certified Holistic Nutritionist who works with women who are experiencing emotional eating and body issues. She founded LALL Nutrition as a way to support women to reclaim their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and health in a holistic way. Michelle helps her clients to get to the root cause of their emotional issues so that they can have a healthy and happy relationship with food and their body that actually creates results with their health goals. Michelle combines her solid grasp of biological chemistry, experience as a certified high school teacher, background training in holistic nutrition + somatic psychotherapy to support her clients in developing a sustainable way to achieve health on all levels; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. From a young age, Michelle wanted to cure HIV and cancer. She pursued a specialist degree in biological chemistry in an effort to go down this path. At the same time, she struggled with poor body image, low confidence, emotional eating, acne, and weight gain. She spent the better part of high school and into her early 20’s yo-yo dieting, over-exercising, having disordered eating + emotional eating. At some point, she hit rock bottom from all the restrictions and mental anguish and had to find a better way. She was on a path to finding more purpose and passion in her career. She worked as an analytical chemist, and a chemistry TA, taught in Korea, worked in administrative research at the hospital, and pursued a teaching degree. When all career paths seemed to miss that passion she wanted she followed the next intuition she had. These 2 paths merged when she started to heal her relationship with food, her body, and her emotional eating. She was inspired and decided to enroll in a Holistic Nutrition school to help others do the same. Over time she has continued expanding her understanding of trauma and resolving emotions from the root in a 2-year program in somatic psychotherapy to further help clients get to the root of their emotional eating. All of her training and trial and error experience lead her to this career path and the creation of her signature program The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. Where to find Michelle!
