Elise Museles Shares Her Own Food Story of Restriction and Healing, The Impact of Food and Mood, and Simple Tips to Maximize the New Year

Today on the podcast we sit down with Elise Museles, a Certified Eating Psychology and Nutrition Expert, creator of the Food Story platform and the very popular blog: Kale & Chocolate. As an author, speaker, health coach, and podcast host, Elise’s mission is to empower women to create a healthier relationship with food and their bodies by changing what’s on their plate – and what’s in their minds. Elise’s concept of Food Story was born from her personal struggles with food and body image throughout her life. Going on her first diet at age nine, Elise grew to become obsessed with dieting and calorie counting for many years to follow. Even after she found herself working as a successful attorney with the Department of Justice, she still found herself immersed in diet culture. On this episode, Elise details her own food story, and how she went from a lifetime of dieting to healing her relationship with food and eventually transitioning to a career in health and wellness. We also discuss the concept of food and mood, in a way you might not expect and tips for listeners to make the most out of this new year.
