In this episode, Liana West explores the deeper connection between trauma and weight struggles. She explains that weight challenges aren't just about willpower — they're often tied to unresolved trauma, especially from early life experiences. Liana breaks down how trauma can disrupt the body's stress response, metabolism, and inflammation levels, making weight management even more difficult. She also highlights the importance of quality sleep and introduces how Observed & Experiential Integration (OEI) therapy can support healing at a deeper level. Throughout the conversation, Liana encourages listeners to look beyond diet and exercise and consider the psychological roots of their weight journey.
