In this episode, Laura and Judy share some real talk with Dr. Robert Cywes. All too often, we focus on weight gain or metabolic syndrome, but the root cause can often be an internal, mental struggle. Not everyone thinks they have a not-so-ideal relationship with food, but the truth is that many of us do, especially with carb addiction. This is a very raw and candid discussion about healing our relationships with food that ultimately can lead us to healing.
