Let me ask you first, is food a fuel for you or is it your emotional rescue?

In this episode we talked about the role of food and eating habits, food as a coping mechanism, the so-called gut brain integration method which Kiki (my today’s guest) is a founder of and is teaching to her clients.

Kiki is an intuitive eating health coach, focused on helping women conquer emotional eating and practise healthy, balanced eating with consistency and ease, helping women become the healthiest versions of themselves. 

She went through her personal healing journey where since a young age, she has suffered from various forms of eating disorders.
