Author Description

In Hungry Heart, Jaime Saibil explores why we turn to food in the face of struggle, and what we can do to change this behaviour. Saibil shows how triggers such as stress, low self--esteem, and perfectionism can lead to unhealthy choices, and that the work that needs to be done is on the mind and the soul, rather than just the body. Through her accessible approach, which incorporates a combination of research, case studies, and her own personal history of emotional eating, Saibil guides readers with empathy and clinical expertise toward taking their first steps in the journey to self--awareness and physical and mental health. If you are tired of failed diet and exercise programs, this book will provide you with the tools to begin healing your hungry heart with self--compassion, patience, and forgiveness.
