How to Overcome Emotional & Compulsive Eating + Tips on How to Help Someone with an Eating Disorder Find Freedom with Food (with Certified Eating Psychology Coach Jessi Jean)

Food can bring people together—just try think about one major event or holiday that is not marked by a shared meal. However, for many people, food can also be crutch, something that holds them back and prevents them from living the life they want. In this podcast, I talk with certified eating psychology coach Jessi Jean about compulsive eating habits and self-sabotaging behaviors, emotional binging, the different kinds of eating disorders, why diets often don’t work, and how to find freedom with food.   For more info on Jessi:   -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessijeannn/  -Website: https://risewithmeco.com/  -Podcast: The Dear Body Podcast » https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dear-body-podcast/id1460137502  -Free Morning Routine Challenge: http://www.risewithmemorningroutine.com/optin36649556   Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-overcome-emotional-compulsive-eating-tips-on-how-to-deal-with-an-eating-disorder-and-find-freedom-with-food-with-certified-eating-psychology-coach-jessi-jean ***SPECIAL OFFERS FROM THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR:  -Plushcare: PlushCare makes it easier than ever to take care of yourself, inside and out.
