The Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast
The Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast helps individuals address and manage all aspects of emotional eating and weight loss through understanding why it happens, how to recognize and stop it, and realizing that changing the body only happens after you have changed the mind. Restrictive diets and depriving yourself of foods you love is not the answer, and Breakthrough shows you there is another way to address this deeper issue. Listeners will learn practical tips and strategies that will guide them towards a healthy relationship with food, and with themselves. Kristin Jones is a certified life coach and fitness instructor specializing in helping women break free from emotional eating and overeating. With over 17 years of experience in education, she understands the challenges of balancing a demanding career with personal well-being. Having personally struggled with an eating disorder, she brings a unique perspective and empathy to her coaching work. Through her signature program, Breakthrough Emotional Eating, Kristin combines the power of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) with practical tools and strategies to help clients cultivate a healthy relationship with food, and themselves. By addressing underlying emotional issues and limiting beliefs, she empowers women to find freedom, self-love, and lasting transformation. In addition to being a certified yoga and fitness instructor at Life Time in Walnut Creek, CA, she also hosts a podcast, Breakthrough Emotional Eating, has a YouTube channel, Kristin Jones Coaching, and is the author of the Amazon best-selling book, When Food Is Your Drug: A Food Addict's Guide To Managing Emotional Eating.
