For many, battling overeating and food obsession feels like a never-ending struggle, especially when relying on quick fixes like GLP-1 medications. The constant cycle of cravings, guilt, and dieting can leave you feeling trapped in your own body and mind. It’s exhausting to live with food drama dominating your thoughts and daily choices.

That struggle can steal your joy, confidence, and freedom, making every meal a source of anxiety instead of nourishment. When food controls you, it’s hard to fully enjoy life or even simple pleasures like traveling or socializing. The mental and emotional weight piles up, creating a sense of helplessness and frustration.

But there’s a way to break free from that cycle and find lasting peace with food and your body, just like Líza did. Through a powerful journey of mindset shifts, neuroscience, and self-trust, she transformed from food battles and overeating to living food drama-free.

In this episode, Lisa shares her inspiring story and practical insights on reclaiming your freedom.

"This sounds cliche, but just like the view from the other side of this is just spectacular. It really is. It really is freeing. It really is freedom. It's freedom from everything that kept you a prisoner before." - Liza
