About this episode

Today's guest is is a clinical nutritionist, hypnotherapist and an expert in eating behavior - Jiordana Saade. She focuses on the brain-body connection and believes if the body is holding onto weight, there are imbalances in both the mental state, and the physiological body. Today we uncover some of those psychological factors and thoughts that impact our relationship with food and learn a lot about how our brain works. I really learned a lot in this interview!
