Episode 170: Body Wisdom with Special Guest Kait Greenberg

It's Not About Food Podcast with Laurelee Roark

Body Wisdom is the inherent wisdom we each hold within our bodies that tells us what we need physically, emotionally and spiritually. When we listen to the wisdom of our bodies, we intuitively know how to feed ourselves, satisfy out needs and accept our natural bodies.

She individualizes her approach to help clients form a healthy relationship with food and to not let food get in the way of what truly matters in their life, her personal mantra being “count memories not calories”.
