KEY POINTS

Hosts Patricia Wu and Jessica Reyes and guest dietician Ellen Coghlan discuss healthy eating habits and the influence friends may have.

Breaking free from food fixation

When food, exercise, and weight dominate our thoughts, it’s important to recognize these patterns. Small changes, like reducing weigh-ins, can help lessen the control these numbers have.

Seeking support for deeper struggles
