Did you know that 99% of people who lose weight on a weight loss diet gain it back within one year? For years experts have been advising "eat less and move more" or "Eat this, don't eat that." If these pieces of advice actually worked, they would have worked already? For far too long, we've been inundated by negative messages about food, weight and diet. It's time to rethink our understanding of nutrition and weightloss. 

Mind Body Nutrition reveals how stress physiology, the relaxation response, breathing, awareness, and pleasure profoundly influence digestion, metabolism, and overall health. Perhaps knowing what to eat just isn't enough. Where, when, how, and why we eat all influence our body's response to food. 

In this free talk, Heather McDonnell will introduce Mind Body Nutrition and Dynamic Eating Psychology. She will discuss in detail the factors that profoundly impact metabolism and health: stressed eating, eating rhythm, as well as eating and exercising from a place of inspiration.

You will leave with a broader understanding of good nutrition and be equipped with new tools and strategies to start increase your metabolism and caloric expenditure without even changing what you eat; opening a new world and relationship with food. 

Heather McDonnell is a certified Eating Psychology Coach by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Weight and health are intimately connected to other primary life dimensions - relationship, family, work, sexuality, our search for meaning and fulfillment, and so much more. Dynamic Eating Psychology is a powerful breakthrough approach, connecting the body, mind, heart and soul to guide you into a healthier, more nourishing relationship with food and with life.
