Disrupting Obesity
Disrupting Obesity
Charlotte Skanes
The Disrupting Obesity podcast is for anyone who’s looking to lose weight and change their relationship with food so they can keep the pounds off. If you’re tired of feeling judged, of excluding yourself or being left out, and using food to comfort, reward, and cope with your emotions and the day to day, don’t waste time beating yourself up. You absolutely have what it takes to lose weight naturally in a way that you can sustain and that will ensure you keep the weight off too. Hosted by Charlotte Skanes, a weight loss coach who lost and is keeping off over two hundred pounds, this show will give you the strategies and mindset you need to drop the weight. It’s going to encourage you and motivate you so that you can build the confidence and self-belief to find the healthiest version of yourself. It’s not about the food. It’s about your relationship with food. Once you start to change that relationship you can start disrupting obesity.
