Today I talk to a very interesting guest.  An interesting life and an interesting take on health and well-being.  It's well worth a listen. Vicky Midwood - AKA:  The Addictions Eliminator & Health Creator is an integrative health, nutrition and lifestyle coach who has been in the fitness and wellness world for over 32 years.  She is an author, podcaster (Raw Chatter) and creator of the B.L.A.S.T method to fabulous freedom. Vicky started out as a fitness and fat loss instructor in 1991 as a way to justify and hide her bulimia, food, alcohol and exercise obsession - she shares her experiences with us on the podcast. On the outside she aimed to inspire, be a role model of fitness, strength and control, yet on the inside she was a full of guilt and shame and exhausted from hiding her real behaviour around food and alcohol.  Driven by her own rehabilitation experiences, Vicky has a passion for helping others to reconnect to themselves as a whole, to re-imagine life free from the daily obsession and compulsion to use food and/or alcohol to reward, numb-out, soothe and cope with feelings and the daily routine.  She states that her mission is to help you understand YOU in a way you never have before, and to embrace ALL that you are, instead of you feeling you have to be MORE than you are.  Thanks so much for listening in!  Please FOLLOW on this platform.  If you like what you hear, please connect with me on any of my social media sites: Lori - MFHT - eating therapist (@the_mindful_eating_clinic) • Instagram photos and videos The Mindful Eating Clinic | Facebook Lori Weber - The Mindful Eating Clinic - YouTube Lori Weber MFHT | LinkedIn   Why not subscribe to my weekly Mindful Bites?  Easy, short morsels of mindful eating and mindful living advice Mindful eating online magazine (themindfuleatingclinic.com) Details of everything I do is on my website: Healthy weight management | The Mindful Eating Clinic Support the show
