Welcome to episode #99 of the Fitlandia Podcast. Today my guest is Evelyn DeDominicus from Connecticut where she believes by practicing in collaboration with other professionals they can develop a stronger connection with their clients. We are going to talk about exploring ways to moderate alcohol; why it is important to understand our behaviors and habits associated with alcohol.       Highlights 11:56 I have to be perfect when really the intention is to help figure out what foods work best for your body and doing a clean elimination and then at the end adding foods back in one at a time. And it is, it's the same whether it's any kind of reliance... 18:06 I started off saying, I'm the type of person that's on or off, right? I'm like a light switch. And so if I start to say to myself, I'm the type of person that can take it or leave it. And that's empowering. That's an empowering statement, right? 34:48 You're figuring out what works for you and your life, but I just want to encourage everyone to do that. 37:33 It is about ending the shame. It is about understanding that our brain is actually working perfectly to keep us in this state of safety and survival. Like that's even the things that we think are negative are brain is leaving us to those because it wants to feel safe.
