Ep. 292: Overcoming Food Phobias and Exercise Obsession

We’ve spent a lot of our lives obsessing over food and exercise. We see it happen to others all the time: someone finds an extreme regimen that produces results, then they’re terrified to try something new or give up their diet and exercise regime, which leads them to obsession and food phobias. Maybe you feel like extremes are the only way to keep results, but eventually obsession will break you. Take it from us, there is a better way.
