On this episode I share my main takeaways from the book and how I will be implementing them in my own journey. I share the five principles for long term weight loss success as outlined by the author.

1) After care and having access to health care professionals

2) Viewing Food and nutrition as medicine which can heal you or harm you.

3) Exercise not only to support weight loss and long-term success but your mental health.

4) community finding a group of people that could support you on your journey and hold you accountable who are like minded.

5) Mindfulness learning and developing a routine in your everyday life for you to be able to connect to your body and reduce emotional eating.

Second segment- Lessons from the Counselling Classroom. I share what secondary gain and hidden agendas could look like in weight loss surgery patients.

Third segment- I share my opinion on a topic that I've come across on social media.
