Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeIf I haven’t said it lately, I am so grateful for the opportunity and privilege to be able to do this. Being a podcast host allows me to connect with and learn from some of the best. It also is a conduit for putting me in touch with people I probably wouldn’t have connected with otherwise, but I’m so glad I did.My conversation today is with Zach Lloyd. As you know we rarely have male guests on and I don’t think any of them have been in their early 30s. However, don't let his age fool you. He is wise, authentic and vulnerable and I appreciated his full transparency about his story. He shares how he almost lost his life to alcohol and hard drugs and then his journey into health and fitness but found himself in unhealthy patterns like binge eating.I think you’ll find his wisdom and brave storytelling compelling and if you have binge-eating tendencies you’ll appreciate the guidance he has. We also talk about the shame of binge eating and his anti-diet approach to helping people who struggle with weight and body image called food freedom, your transformation.WE DISCUSS:Zach’s terrifying story of drug and alcohol abuseHis evolution into fitness trainingHis binge-eating storyThe three-step process he offers to heal from binge eatingZach Lloyd is an Anti-Diet coach, speaker, and owner of Lift Life Fitness gym.
