In this episode, Andy and Jonas sat down with Michelle Petties. Michelle is the author of Leaving Large, a book detailing her journey as a recovering food addict. In this episode, Michelle shares the secret to ending the battle between mind, body, and hunger—what Michelle refers to as our “Food Stories.” As you’re about to hear, these food stories we tell ourselves often provide misconceptions about the purpose of food. Check out this episode of It’s the Climb to hear the whole story.
