In this episode of Resilient with Jessica Boarman, we’re diving deep into the world of control—especially when it comes to health, food, and the pressure to deprive ourselves in the name of wellness. Jessica opens up about her lifelong struggle with dieting, emotional eating, and the constant need to "fix" her body, only to realize that true health isn't about control—it's about self-love.

Through her personal journey, Jessica shares how the FASTer Way to Fat Loss program transformed her mindset around food and fitness. From intermittent fasting and carb cycling to the importance of tracking macros, this program helped her break free from the endless cycle of dieting and finally embrace a lifestyle of balance, nourishment, and sustainable self-care.
