Losing Weight the Mindful Way

We've all heard of stress eating and emotional eating, but could you be exhaustion-eating? In Episode 39, Brodie talks with Katrina Ubell, MD, a pediatrician turned certified life and weight loss coach, about the ways mindfulness can be a helpful aid in the weight loss journey. Katrina lost 50 pounds using a variety of weight loss methods, but when she reflects on the process, mindfulness and truly listening to her body really stuck out as catalysts for success. She's now a full-time coach for busy physicians, as well as the producer of the podcast Weight Loss for Busy Physicians.   In this episode, we explore:   Different kinds of needs we try to suppress with food The ways mindfulness can help us understand our cravings How our cultural food habits don't align with the way our metabolisms evolved The ways group programs can add an extra layer of support to weight loss   Resources:   Katrina's Website Katrina's Facebook Page Katrina's Podcast Brodie's Inner Knowing Healthy Eating Meditation – a tool for those looking to lose weight but encountering difficulty on the journey
