016: Pursuing Weight Loss While Maintaining Body Positivity
Samantha Gladish is a Women's Health and Wellness Coach and the Founder of www.holisticwellness.ca; a website dedicated to helping women lose weight and balance their hormones through delicious food.
Weight loss is a touchy subject for me these days and I contemplated whether I would bring it to the podcast because I would never want it to trigger someone or sidetrack someone from their intuitive eating journey. But I do believe that the pursuit of weight loss (the healthy way) can occur while maintaining body positivity as a means of helping you move better and feel better, if those are areas that are currently holding you back.
