Kara Collier | Weight Loss or Wellness Trap? Exploring Perfectionism, Orthorexia + The Real Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) For Health

Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 676

How can technology help you return to homeostasis and achieve sustainable weight loss?

Kara Collier, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Co-Founder of NutriSense, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 676, to discuss the importance of fostering a healthy relationship with food, using technology like continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to better understand your body's signals, and why mindfulness, compassion, and balance are essential for long-term nutritional and emotional well-being.

"When we are given a prescriptive diet and follow this one exact thing, it's really hard for many of us to actually stick to that long term. But when we see our personal data and how our body responds, it's much more meaningful and it's a lot more sustainable long term." - Kara Collier
