This special edition of Bariatric Paths is one you’ll want to sit with, reflect on, and maybe even replay. We’re diving deep into a powerful Fuel Your Journey session with Melissa Holman, a life coach from Lemonbalm Coaching—and trust me, she brings the wisdom and the calm we all need.
Melissa takes us beyond the scale and into the real work—looking at our relationship with food through the lens of the mind, body, and spirit. This isn’t about another diet or trick. It’s about alignment, healing, and learning how to move forward with intention.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns, emotionally triggered by food, or unsure how to connect with your body in a healthier way, this episode is here to guide you back to center. Because real transformation? It starts from within. (Episode Correction: Melissa's Father is a Type 1 Diabetes)
