“It wasn't until high school I was like, ‘Wait a minute, if I start moving and eating better, I'm noticing like I feel better and then the weight started coming off.’ But then you struggle with that if those links are there mentally of any time you're stressed out, which still can happen, you know, even though you're not in that kind of a negative environment, you can still get stressed out with a lot of things. Are you going to default to using food as that comfort? Is that what food is there for? So it's really diving deep into this. It's part of, it is a big part of how we help our patients for sure. And understand what is that connection to food and when you understand that, my gosh, it becomes so much easier, or I should say just clearer. Not always easier, but definitely more clear of like, ‘Oh, I get it.’” - James Marin
