#27 - Emotional Over-Eating with Jason Gootman

I am very excited for this episode because it’s something that a lot of us are experiencing or are going through, but are too scared to discuss or seek help. This topic is really emotionally connected to me and so I’m really happy to have someone as knowledgeable as Jason Gootman in this podcast. I am confident that a lot of you are going to relate to this and might open your eyes to things that you’ve been avoiding for a long time.

Jason Gootman is a Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach and a highly sought-after wellness Sherpa by those seeking to thrive. He is famous for helping people who formerly struggled with taking care of themselves to become really well from the inside out without the misguided and harmful “no-pain, no-gain” workout programs and rigid and ridiculous diets that never work in the long-term.

Check out Jason’s workshop on emotional eating at Dirigo Fitness in Falmouth in April. If you know any local people who might be interested in this, I’d love to see them there. You can sign up here.
