This conversation was so good. We talked about meditation and mindfulness as a tool to heal disordered eating. So often when people struggle with disordered eating they try to externalize an internal issue. It is so internal. It is a mental and emotional issue. So when we dig into the energetics of the body, meditation being just one of those tools, we’re able to truly get in our bodies and heal from within. You guys have heard me saying multiple times, “You have to feel in order to heal.” This is what this episode is all about.   About Sarah Anne Stewart   Sarah Anne Stewart was thrown into the world of wellness as a teenager when her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Her family made a choice – to fight back with alternative medicine. Seven months later, her father was declared cancer-free, and a spark was lit in Sarah that propelled her to dedicate her life to spreading the healings her family had discovered.   In this episode, Sarah shares:   What it was like watching her father heal his cancer through holistic nutrition. The guilt and the shame of having an eating disorder even though she had a holistic upbringing. How meditation and mindfulness improves our physical bodies. Suffering from breast implant illness and having the courage to remove her breast implants. How emotional food journaling has helped heal her relationship to food. The fear of feeling hungry and how to appreciate the information our bodies are giving us. How to create a toolbox of self care practices when resistance comes up. The importance of connecting with other people to share your experience.   You can find more of Sarah at:   Website | Facebook | Instagram   Are you ready to end the battle with food and your body?
