Mindset is everything when it comes to your health, and the way you think can completely transform your eating habits and vice versa! Today’s guest, Marie Young, is a nutrition and mindset coach, helping high performers implement their inner nutrition knowledge with simple, practical strategies. Once a dysfunctional dieter and people pleaser, Marie has made it her mission to help others heal their relationship with food so they can experience more joy, connection, and purpose. In this episode, you’ll hear about Marie’s food freedom journey, and she shares the process that she refined over time; the very same process that she takes her clients through now, with incredible results. Her approach is both practical and spiritual, with nutrition strategies, mindset work, visualizations, blueprints, and systems. Making the change internally starts with tuning into what feels good, and Marie believes that you can use food as a starting point for changing anything else in your life. To find out how to break the pattern of all or nothing, experiment with your nutrition to set you up for success, and find out which foods “love you back”, tune in today!
