How to Fix Your Relationship with Food and Live the Life You Crave with Lia Pinelli

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How mothers' relationships with their bodies impact their daughters
• The dangers of letting yourself down and how to rebuild self-trust
• Practical tips and tools to begin to Live the Life You Crave
• The science of intermittent fasting and how to do it successfully
• How to navigate a household that is not on your nutrition journey along with you

Lia Pinelli is the owner of The Life You Crave and the leader of The Fempire, “a community of powerhouse women who are invested in feeling good in their own skin, building baller businesses, and creating the lives they crave unapologetically.” She came from an Italian-American household full of great food, and as a kid, she was teased for her weight. It wasn't until she turned 9 when her mother suggested they go on a diet together, that she began to see her different body as “bad”. This kickstarted three decades of yo-yo dieting that ended when she found a coach who helped her rethink her relationship with food and herself. Now she is paying it forward as a coach to other women who are ready to start living the life they crave.

In this episode, Mathew, Dr. Dave, and Lia discuss the line between good-natured teasing and inappropriate bullying, the difference between being self-conscious and health-conscious, and how being health-conscious can turn into orthorexia. Lia tells us how she fell into self-sabotaging behaviors around food and how she rebuilt trust in herself by changing her mindset from plans to promises, learning how urges impacted her, and moving through the feelings rather than running away from them.

“Any real growth requires discomfort.”
