Weight loss, breathwork, and addiction with Julia Christine

What really makes a difference in weight loss? And is healthy weight loss really about the weight or the dress size.. or is it about much more than that? Some of these answers you know or can guess. And…today’s show is guaranteed to give you a few things to think about no matter what size you are.  Julia Christine is a health and nutrition coach that has transitioned into complete wellness coaching. Her approach to weight loss is less about the dress size and more about the mental health involved.  

She couldn’t deny her need for help when she found herself falling apart in her living room, unable to do the simple yoga she was trying, weighing in at around 300 lbs, depressed, and having trouble concentrating. It was there on the floor that she made some crucial decisions for how she talked to herself and what she focused on, and in small steps lost over 130 lbs and became a health and nutrition coach herself, and started a podcast.

Follow today’s conversation through weight loss metrics that she no longer supports, and learn what she thinks really matters in body size, as well as her 5 pillars of health: Physical, mental, spiritual, sexual, and financial.

We unpack some misunderstandings around food or other addictions, discuss some indicators that your food habits may be increasing your pain, depression, or brain fog, and how the addictions, coping mechanisms, extra weight, poor health, and heavy mental states we can feel lost in aren’t even the real problems. The problems are  what each are running away from. 

We hear beautiful insights about the power in tears, breath, and awareness of our own emotions, and we take big topics and distill them down to some small steps that really make a difference.
