How many people have anxiety and are too ashamed to admit it? The “real” numbers are likely staggering.

And what if you have anxiety but you don’t want to take medication? What do you do in that case?

This week’s podcast guest, Health Coach Cathy Perez, will discuss how individuals with emotional eating issues can directly address their food issues and reduce the possibility of anxiety caused by emotional eating.

Cathy will share with you:

• How to train your brain to feel safe and calm the ruminating thoughts
• Simple strategies to use any time your anxiety starts to creep up
