Mary Jelkovsky
About this episode

This week Mary talks with Jessica Demasi, a Certified Eating Psychology Coach specializing in Functional Endocrinology and creator of whollyhealed.com. Jessica started whollyhealed.com due to a lack of integrative care when it comes to healing eating disorders. In this conversation, we hear about how early traumas can result in dysfunctional habits around food and body image. We also learn about ways to take a deeper look at our own traumas and how we can begin to heal from them. Mary and Jessica also take a deep dive into the topic of feminism and how it has helped Jessica empower herself on her own mission. So sit back, grab a cup of tea and enjoy this week’s episode!
