Episode 14: An interview with Harriet Frew about the importance of psychological support post bariatric surgery

In this week's episode, I had a fascinating conversation with Harriet, delving into the critical need and significance of psychological support both before and after undergoing priority surgery. Our discussion centered around breaking the cycle of yo-yo dieting and overcoming disordered eating habits, particularly for individuals who have struggled with obesity for a long time. Harriet shared valuable insights on repairing our relationship with food and emphasized the vital aspect of self-care. We touched upon various topics, including intuitive eating and the process of rebuilding trust in our bodies. The episode is packed with insightful information that I truly believe will be valuable in supporting yourself on your journey. Harriet also generously offered tips on how to nurture psychological well-being even in the absence of formal psychological support before and after undergoing surgery. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of psychological well-being in the context of surgical procedures and discover practical ways to foster a healthier relationship with food and yourself. I hope you enjoy this episode and find immense value in the knowledge shared to empower and support your well-being.
