Mindful Eating: Understanding Food, Emotions, and Health with Dr. Catherine Toomer
In this episode of Raising Resilient Minds, we’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Catherine Toomer as we dive into the intricate connections between metabolic health, weight management, and overall well-being.
Dr. Toomer sheds light on the science behind popular medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, explaining how they work to reverse weight gain and manage diabetes. She emphasizes the importance of addressing the whole person—their biology, psychology, and social environment—to create sustainable health solutions.
We also discuss the complexities of balancing weight loss with disease management and the importance of individualized care strategies. Dr. Toomer shares how she helps clients develop actionable health plans, even when prescribing isn’t an option.
