The Body Effect: Overcome Your Cravings with Dawn Cuckow

Dawn Cuckow is a qualified nutritional therapist and author of the book, The Body Effect, which aims to help people recognize what's triggering their cravings and discover their unique path to long-lasting weight loss. After beating an eating disorder and eliminating debilitating period pains, all by a shift in diet, Dawn knew she had to do something to help others change their relationship with food. Dawn dove into years of research and scientific literature after a disastrous experience with her first weight-loss client who gained over 7lbs in less than 4 weeks. What she discovered would prove life-changing for her clients–from imbalances in the body that trigger cravings or the desire to overeat to hormone imbalances in your gut bacteria that are blocking your weight loss. Once you know this, you can tailor food and lifestyle changes to target the root causes, making it so much easier to lose weight and sustain your weight loss. In this week's episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness Podcast, Dawn shares why losing weight is not just about eating less and exercising more, how to crush the cravings and make losing weight so much easier, and why focusing on health rather than weight loss can shift the pounds for good.
