In this episode we will help those who aren’t yet big fans of mindful eating for well being enhancement (not weight loss) to give it a try.

A note from Lilia: Re-learning language is a process. After recording, I deeply regretted my use of the words “crazy” and “insane”, and wish I’d said “absurd” and “nonsensical” when referring to what goes on in research on mindful eating and outcomes. May we all hold our mistakes in compassion and offer ourselves and each other patience with the learning process, as we continue to examine and challenge internalized bias and oppression on the path to liberation.
