Food Control: The Deeper Truths We Avoid
This week, I’m thrilled to be joined by the phenomenal Lou Parker!
Lou’s story is truly one of resilience, growth, and transformation. From her early years as a high-level competitive gymnast to becoming an NLP trainer and training neuroscientist, Lou’s journey has been full of twists and turns — and she’s sharing it all.
In this episode, we dive deep into the impact that the intense world of gymnastics had on her food relationship and self-image. Lou opens up about how food, which once started as fuel, slowly became something she clung to for control when life got overwhelming.
But that’s just one part of her story. We also discuss navigating abusive relationships, learning to trust again, and how food was all tied up in her journey of healing.
Lou’s courage to share these experiences is nothing short of inspiring. Her journey back to a healthier, more compassionate relationship with herself is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t a straight path — and it’s okay to take it one step at a time.
If you’ve ever struggled with food rules, felt out of control, or lost faith in your own ability to trust yourself, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to hear Lou’s wisdom and discover how she found freedom, balance, and a deeper connection to her mind, body, and spirit.
