#104: Overcoming Health Obsession – With Dr. Steve Prentice

I’m chatting with Dr. Steve Prentice, author of Wrecked. We talk about why we are so obsessed with health as a culture, how our culture’s obsession with health is making us unhealthy and what you can do about it. In this episode, we chat about: - How Steve’s “weight loss story” led him to understand how our “healthy” behaviours are actually hurting our health,  - Why our culture is so obsessed with “clean eating” and “optimizing health,” - How dieting/”health” impacts the stress hormones in our body and the negative implications associated with it,  - Why health has gone from something that helps us to fulfill our purpose to something that is our purpose, - Why it’s so hard to let go of intentional weight loss and the belief that maybe if you just try again it will work, - What you can do to heal and start to manage stress in order to improve health, Plus, so much more!
