Diets Don’t Work, This Does! | Ep 178

Join Dr. Peggy Gleason and me as she shares her journey working
in the medical system and realizing that the traditional medical
model wasn’t helping people heal from chronic illness. 🩺 This
sparked her curiosity, leading her to explore courses in
integrative health to truly help people heal. Dr. Peggy
eventually became a coach with multiple certifications, and now
focuses on helping people overcome eating habits that contribute
to obesity, heart disease, and more.


Today, Dr. Peggy loves to help professional women regain their
self-worth, self-love, and confidence through various programs
designed to shift habits and mindset for lasting results.

Episode Summary


Peggy's journey from nurse to wellness coach @
0:01


Peggy shares how her experiences growing up with family members
who were chronically ill led her to pursue a career in
healthcare, first as a critical care nurse and then later as a
doctor of natural health and integrative wellness coach. She was
motivated to find more holistic solutions to help people recover
from chronic conditions rather than just managing symptoms.
The importance of mindfulness and self-awareness in eating
habits @ 2:30

Peggy discusses how many of her clients struggle with emotional
and mindless eating, often triggered by stress, depression, or
loneliness. She emphasizes the importance of pausing, becoming
more self-aware of one's emotional state and triggers, and
practicing mindful eating techniques like putting down the fork
between bites.
Why diets don't work and the importance of self-love @ 15:59

Peggy explains that restrictive diets often backfire because they
deprive people of necessary nutrients and create an unsustainable
cycle of deprivation and binge eating. Instead, she focuses on
helping clients develop self-love, body confidence, and an
appreciation for the beauty within, rather than just focusing on
the physical appearance.
The power of support systems and accountability @ 26:38

Peggy emphasizes that people cannot achieve lasting change on
their own and need a support system of coaches, cheerleaders, and
accountability partners to help them stay motivated and on track.
She discusses the importance of not just reading self-help books,
but putting the lessons into consistent practice...
