Show Notes
Learn from this doctor turned anti-diet wellness expert! There's a social system that's been created that's pressured us to want to get smaller. It's defined us and has played into the guilt and doubt we feel as women about our bodies. "I should be this, I should be that". Toss out the narrative of societal expectations and shame and give yourself permission to just BE. When we let that go we can actually free up the mental space to allow our bodies to do what they were meant to do: function properly.
About Maggie:
Maggie Landes is a board-certified physician, public health nutritionist, and anti-diet wellness expert. She created her signature getEATfluenced® coaching program to help women who are exasperated with chronic dieting, be able to fix their food overwhelm and live a full and unrestricted life pursuing their personal passions without the distraction of rigid eating behavior. She is also the creator and host of “The Eatfluencer Podcast” where she and her guests dig into the mindset work required to construct a healthy, complete, and high-quality life unlimited by the oppression of diet culture.
Maggie’s overt passion to teach about eating, and its relationship to complete health came not from her extensive didactic training, but from the blank space at the intersection of those things.
After decades of subscribing to diet culture, both personally and professionally, a personal battle with cancer at the age of 40 caused her to reframe her perspective, and she now practices and teaches others that the wisdom of the human body and the power of positive thinking are the gateway to healing our relationship with food.
Maggie believes that every woman is influential and worthy, and by empowering ourselves to have confidence and control of our thinking and leaving behind our obsession with dieting, we can show that value to the world.
All of her personal coaching and programs support the Health at Every Size philosophy, the framework of Intuitive Eating, and a weight-inclusive, body neutral approach to health and wellness.
