In this episode of the Mind Movement Health Podcast, your host Kate Boyle is joined by special guest Jillian Acosta, a registered dietitian specializing in functional medicine and the psychology of eating.
Jillian shares her insights on how unresolved trauma and emotions can influence our relationship with food, leading to chronic illnesses often tied to excess weight.
The conversation delves into the definition of functional medicine and how it differs from traditional medical practices, emphasizing the importance of addressing the root cause of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms.
Jillian also explores the growing field of psychedelics and how they can facilitate a deeper understanding and resolution of personal traumas and emotional eating patterns.
Tune in to discover the profound connection between emotional health, trauma, and dietary habits, and learn how innovative methods like functional medicine and psychedelics can transform your health journey.
