Through most of my life, from my teens until my 50’s, I struggled with food traumas and excess weight.
Extreme sugar addiction lead me to become pre-diabetic and insulin resistant. Whenever weight piled on, the wellness regimes got more strict: excluding complete food groups, doing longer fasts, resets, detoxes, sitting through years of psychology, analyzing my food and eating issues to the point of it becoming tedious and unproductive.
I always thought nutrition would be my way out of this mess. So I studied Nutrition, Eating Psychology, Neuroscience, Body-Mind practices, and just about any other weight loss strategy out there, but nothing managed to stabilize my weight or remove overeating for good.
Despite all my knowledge, in times of discomfort, old coping mechanisms like binges and overeating crept back with weight gain between 10-30 kgs.
Despite the shame and disappointment of constant failures, there is one thing I never do – I do not give up. And I knew what I wanted – total freedom.
I wanted to be naturally thin, living a normal life without diets and deprivation. Food is on this earth to nourish us, and I finally had enough of always fighting food and flab in some way.
In the end I had to go beyond all I ever studied to what I know today. It’s not about fixing your psychology, or striving for perfection through more rules or restriction.
Weight is a side-effect of consuming more than your body needs. I had to develop lasting, sustainable solutions to conquer overeating for good. This non-diet approach offering total freedom is the basis of my work.
I started The Wisdom Table because there is an enormous amount of nutritional information out there – but very little wisdom.
Rather than teaching perfection, more food rules and restriction, my approach offers something many women have not experienced before: permission to a life beyond food control AND to be a healthy weight at the same time. Yes, that is indeed possible.
It is NOT about fixing your psychology, but helping you understand the root cause of your overeating, so you are free to be healthy and slim for life. It is also NOT Intuitive Eating or another Food Freedom Program. I have done them all, nothing changed for good.
What I offer is the ultimate solutions to overeating.
Because weight is not your problem, overeating is.
