Body Wisdom
How to stop the cycle of dieting, fall in love with your body and find your healthy set point
by
Lisa Glazebrook
Are you ready to give up calorie counting, punishing restrictive diets, and rigorous exercise programs? Body Wisdom aims to help you heal the root causes of your desire to diet and change your body shape or size. It is a roadmap to moving beyond notenoughness toward deep self-love and acceptance. You will learn to cultivate your innate body’s wisdom through wellness practices, such as mirror work, breathing techniques, mindful eating, journaling, and savouring the simple pleasures in life. Finally get off the rollercoaster of fad diets and discover your body’s natural set point for weight. Glazebrook shares her personal journey of buying into weight loss programs only to gain all the weight back. When she started researching their effectiveness, she found that this was not the exception, it was the rule. She then embraced eating wholesome, balanced foods without restricting fats or carbohydrates. She learned that when you eat whole foods without removing the fibre, you tend not to overeat. It is processed foods with a unique combination of sugar, fat, and salt that are addictive and don’t lead to satiety. She embraced a new lifestyle, retrained her taste buds for natural fruits and vegetables, and learned to cook tasty healthful dishes. But to make the change longterm, she embarked on a journey to uncover the true source of happiness—the unchanging wellspring of radiance within.
Lisa Glazebrook has been working in the fitness and nutrition industry since 2006. She experienced first-hand the high failure rate of the diet industry, and the way it led to further erosion of self-esteem. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, she began to search for a better way to approach nutrition and fitness. She realized that by quieting her mind and tuning into her body’s needs, she could naturally and easily maintain a healthy body weight with little effort. She also began to develop much more love and respect for her body. She is passionate about sharing this life-affirming approach to health and well-being. Lisa Glazebrook lives in rural Alberta with her husband and their dogs. To learn more, visit www.simplythrivedv.com
