Episode 117: Holistic with Author Andrea Lieberstein

Holistic means looking at ourselves in a way that includes our entire being, taking each part of ourselves into consideration. When we stop measuring ourselves by how we look, how thin we are, or how much weight we’ve lost we can begin to embrace all of the physical, emotional, and spiritual parts of ourselves. We move beyond the goals of having a certain body type an into the integrity and magic of the recovery process itself. Andrea Lieberstein, MPH, RDN, IMTA CMT-P, RYT  is director and founder of the Mindful Eating Training Institute (METI International), an internationally recognized teacher trainer, and trains health professionals in an evidence-based mindful eating and living program, and Well Nourished Coach™ training certification programs.
