Through personal and profesional insight, they expose how dieting fuels emotional distress, disconnection, and self-abandonment. Together, they explore the emotional triggers that drive eating habits and the illusion of control that restrictive diets create.

This conversation goes far beyond food—it’s about learning to trust yourself, make peace with your emotions, and embrace your body without shame.

The doctors challenge listeners to shift the focus from weight loss to whole-person well-being, offering a balanced, empowering approach to eating and self-acceptance.
