HEALTH: How you can use mindful eating to improve your health | Jackie Kirschen, Registered Dietician and Nutritionist
Manage episode 393086918 series 3399920
On today’s episode we talk to Jackie Kirschen, registered dietitian and nutritionist, about her 65 pound weight loss journey and how she used mindful eating as a tool for her own weight loss and to keep it off for over 13 years.
Jackie started her weight lost journey in university, when she faced a pre-diabetes diagnosis and was told she had a BMI considered morbidly obese and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. After working with a nutritionist, learning about nutrition as a means of fuel for the body and processing emotional patterns she had with food, she lost 65 pounds over one year and has kept it off since!
Her weight loss journey was also pivotal for her career as she discovered she no longer wanted to become a doctor, but instead wanted to learn everything she could about nutrition in order to help others feel empowered to live a healthier life. She now uses the technique of mindful eating, something she used in her own weight loss journey, as a way to help others live a healthier life and does so with her clients 1-on-1 and through group coaching sessions, as well as on social media where she is known as “The Mindful Nutritionist”.
As we all entering the New Year and are contemplating resetting different parts of our lives, including health, this episode will surely help anyone looking to revamp any challenges related to nutrition and health.
