Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

Hey Besties! Today's episode is a special treat especially for people who are struggling with weight loss and eating disorders.

I'm so excited and thankful to have my good friend, Jiordana Saade, on this podcast to talk about a difficult and tricky topic to discuss - eating disorders, body image, losing weight, and the diet culture.

Jiordana is a Psychological Nutritionist, Hypnotherapist, and one of the most sought-after Eating Behavior Experts, and today, we untangle the controversial conversations around this topic. She also talks to us about how she struggled with her own weight loss issues, the root cause of it all and how she helps people heal their relationship with food while healing their own inner child.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

  1. Untangling the controversial conversations around the obesity epidemic, body positivity and self-love movement
  2. How Jiordana went from having her own disordered eating and body image issues to discovering her life’s mission in helping people empower themselves and break unhealthy patterns
  3. Call to Action: Reframing that unhealthy mindset, acknowledging the root cause and Jiordana's advice in healing your relationship with yourself and with food 

Hey bestie! My mission is to help High-Achievers and people-pleasers heal their Inner Child and find healthy love, especially those who desire an extraordinary connection but often struggle in their relationships.
