All About Food and Eating: Mindset, Mood and the Physical Body Around your Menstrual Cycle, with Amber Romaniuk

Today I’m speaking to Amber Romaniuk who is a returning guest to the Eating Disorder Therapist Podcast. Amber is an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert who helps professional women achieve optimal health through mindful eating, self-care and overcoming self-sabotage with food. ⠀ ⠀ Her podcast “The No Sugarcoating Podcast” has a million downloads, over 400 episodes and is listened to, in over 88 countries. She was featured on TV Personality Whitney Port’s podcast and has also appeared on local TV 50 times in the last three years alone. Amber overcame her own emotional eating, after gaining and losing more than 1000 lbs and spending over $50,000 on binge foods and spending 5 years balancing her hormones and digestion. Now she helps others achieve Body Freedom™ so they have the confidence and health to create amazing lives. ⠀ ⠀ In this episode today, Amber is talking all about food and eating around your menstrual cycle – so apologies to any men listening, but hopefully you will benefit from this knowledge and pass this on to all the women in your life! ⠀ ⠀ Amber is going to explore increased appetite levels prior to the menstrual cycle and explain what creates this. She talks about how this can make women feel more vulnerable to using food about a week prior to their cycle. Amber goes on to explain how the mindset, mood and physical body all together create this effect and the kind of imbalances that can amplify it. A great topic and one we haven’t covered on the podcast before. ⠀ ⠀ Amber does a deep dive here and gives a multitude of tips and wisdom on how to find a more balanced place of harmony and healing, drawing on her own lived experience and through many years of supporting her clients. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.   To find out more about Amber: - ⠀ ⠀ Website: https://amberapproved.ca/ ⠀ ⠀ The No Sugarcoating Podcast: https://amberapproved.ca/podcast/gh ⠀ ⠀ Instagram: @amberromaniuk   ⠀ ⠀   This week's sponsor: WeShape - Katie Bramlett:  http://www.weshape.com/freedom   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Bite Size Eating Disorder Therapy Membership https://www.patreon.com/theeatingdisordertherapist Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course with Harriet Frew - 50% off with code FREEDOMISPOSSIBLE https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Event - Inspiring Prevention of Eating Disorders and Body Image Issues https://www.eventbrite.com/e/inspiring-prevention-of-eating-disorders-and-body-image-issues-tickets-601388086957
