Episode Summary
Peggy's journey from nurse to wellness coach @ 0:01
Peggy shares how her experiences growing up with family members who were chronically ill led her to pursue a career in healthcare, first as a critical care nurse and then later as a doctor of natural health and integrative wellness coach. She was motivated to find more holistic solutions to help people recover from chronic conditions rather than just managing symptoms.
Peggy discusses how many of her clients struggle with emotional and mindless eating, often triggered by stress, depression, or loneliness. She emphasizes the importance of pausing, becoming more self-aware of one's emotional state and triggers, and practicing mindful eating techniques like putting down the fork between bites.
Peggy explains that restrictive diets often backfire because they deprive people of necessary nutrients and create an unsustainable cycle of deprivation and binge eating. Instead, she focuses on helping clients develop self-love, body confidence, and an appreciation for the beauty within, rather than just focusing on the physical appearance.
Peggy emphasizes that people cannot achieve lasting change on their own and need a support system of coaches, cheerleaders, and accountability partners to help them stay motivated and on track. She discusses the importance of not just reading self-help books, but putting the lessons into consistent practice with the help of others.
Peggy shares her perspective from decades of experience in critical care, seeing the devastating impacts of chronic health issues that could have been prevented through proactive lifestyle changes. She encourages the audience to not wait for a "wake-up call" crisis before prioritizing their health and wellbeing.
