The Brain Science Behind Emotional Eating and Poor Body Image

Welcome to the one-hundredth and fifty-ninth episode, where I chat with Dawn Walton of Think It, Change It about the mindset aspect of emotional eating, poor body image, dieting and weight management.

My name is Brianna Wilkerson from Made Well, and I’m the Founder / CEO of Made Well – a practice designed to see women be healthy and thrive in all areas of their lives.

I am a Holistic Health and Life Coach with a heart to empower Christian Women to ditch diets, lose weight, and thrive in their lives. I love seeing women care for their bodies through proper nutrition, consistent exercise, managing stress, sleeping well, digesting foods well, reducing their toxic load, caring for their mindset and habits.

I also am an Essential Oils Advocate and love empowering women to use non-toxic solutions like essential oils for their health, homes, and families.

It is my absolute delight and pleasure to bring you this podcast and share with you all my heart and soul around truly being healthy and thriving in all areas of your life!

In this week’s episode, I have Dawn Walton of Think It, Change It to share her experience as a therapist supporting women through the mindset portion of emotional eating, poor body image, dieting and weight management. 

Dawn Walton is an author, public speaker and therapist based in the UK. Her passion in life is to help people realise that being screwed up is normal, and that everything can change.
