About Camille Martin:
Camille Martin is a registered dietitian, health blogger, and senior technical editor for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She is also a former chronic dieter who wasted nearly 25 years of her life on a diet. When she finally quit dieting and started setting and achieving more meaningful goals, she lost weight without trying. She also made powerful connections between women’s obsession to lose weight and the cultural conditioning that keeps them locked in a prison of silence, shame, and limitation. In her book, Love To Lose: Love Your Life and Watch the Weight Lose Itself, she uses what she learned on her own weight-loss journey to help other women stop wasting their lives on a diet, embrace everything about themselves, achieve what they’re truly capable of − and lose weight in the process. She received a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Georgia and a Bachelor of Science in nutrition from Georgia State University. She is a vegetarian, marathon runner, and avid reader who loves to travel. She lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her two daughters and their rescue dogs.
What We Discuss In This Episode:
Camille shares her journey through life as a serial dieter – always trying to get those same 10-15 pounds of weight off. Many of us have been there and totally can relate to her story. She found herself facing bulimia before realizing she had to make some changes.
After taking some college classes, Camille went on to become a Registered Dietician. While this has served her well, she has really found her passion in helping her clients find goals outside the “weight loss” arena and in the process, they find themselves losing weight and feeling happier and more joyful.
Women, especially, have a tendency to have their emotions tied to food and for many of Camille’s clients, and even us as we listen in, find some ‘ah-ha’ moments when we realize that the patterns of binge eating, addiction to food, and eating for comfort may not have been recognized by us in the past. Camille opens up this discussion for us so that we can become more in tune with our bodies and our emotions so that we can become more aware of what serves our body and what does not.
Camille closes us out with some fantastic tips for our day-to-day lives that can change the game (so to speak) for us.
