Transforming Your Relationship with Food: Insights from Deborah Kesten

Well-being includes in my way of thinking, having balance. So I'm wondering if it is possible to be balanced all the time.
Ever wondered if there's more to eating than just what's on your plate? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles chats with Deborah Kesten about Whole Person Integrative Eating (WPIE). This unique dietary lifestyle blends ancient food wisdom with modern nutritional science to help tackle overeating, overweight, and obesity. But it’s not just about the food; it's about how you eat and the emotions you bring to the table.
Kesten shares her journey and research, including insights from Larry Sherwitz's studies on the yogic lifestyle, which inspired her to create WPIE. She explains how mindful eating and positive feelings can change the way our bodies metabolize food, making it easier to achieve and maintain weight loss. From the dangers of high-sugar foods to the importance of savoring each bite, this conversation dives deep into transforming your relationship with food.
Kesten also identifies seven new overeating styles and offers practical advice on shifting these habits. The episode wraps up with a guided meal meditation that incorporates all elements of WPIE, inviting listeners to experience a more balanced and fulfilling way of eating. Tune in for a refreshing perspective on how nourishing yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially can lead to lasting well-being.
