The Eating Disorder Therapist

Today, I have a guest on the show and I am talking to Maximus Lerois - The Identity Architect. Maximus is a retired U.S. Marine with two combat tours in Afghanistan, a certified psychotherapist, certified NLP practitioner, and certified emotional intelligence specialist.

He helps leaders and audiences find the script running underneath their performance - and to rewrite it. He is the creator of The Revision Method™ and the author of the book Mental Health Is a Lie.

In today's episode, Maximus talks about how our early life experiences shape the way we look at the world, how we show up and what we tolerate in our experience.

He talks through his transformational Revision Method, to help rewrite the script of early life and to then lead a life with purpose, intention and legacy.

I hope that you enjoy the episode.

Today, I'm talking to Amber Romaniuk, an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert, with 13 years experience helping high achieving women create a level of body confidence, intuition and optimal health through powerful mindset healing, self-care and overcoming self-sabotage with food. She does this through addressing the key negative thoughts, patterns and limiting beliefs that keep women stuck in the same behaviors for years and decades, that they haven’t been able to break.

Her podcast “The No Sugarcoating Podcast” has 2+ million downloads, over 600 episodes and is listened to in over 90 countries. Amber overcame her own emotional eating after gaining and losing more than 1000 lbs and spending over $50,000 on binge foods, and spending 5 years balancing her hormones and digestion. She also dismantled her deep limiting beliefs and behaviors keeping her stuck in the same looping patterns.

Now she helps others achieve the biggest healing miracles of Body Freedom™ so they have the confidence and health to create amazing lives.

In the episode today, Amber talks about evening overeating - what it is, what causes it and how to support yourself with this, if you’re struggling. Amber shares a whole range of perspectives, talking about blood sugar, hormones, emotions, habits and self-care. I hope that you enjoy it.
