On today’s episode, we’re talking about cravings: what your cravings say about you, what your body is trying to tell you with your cravings. Do you ever crave food when what you really want is affection? How often do you dial in and listen to the wisdom your body has for you?
To help us begin to answer some of these questions, I’m talking with Alexandra Jamieson. Now you may have heard of Alexandra – she co-created and co-starred in the Oscar-nominated documentary, Supersize Me. These days, she is a vegan chef, author, and cravings expert.
Her most recent book Women, Food and Desire, is all about listening to and honoring your cravings. She is a master of gut health, and the best part is how she understands the connection between our emotional and physical health.
