Unlocking the Power of Internal Family Systems for Lasting Weight Loss

In this episode of the Healthy Real Food Podcast, host Erin Hart discusses the Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapeutic model, introduced by Richard Schwartz, as a transformative tool for weight loss and improving one's relationship with food. The model views the self as a system of parts, each with its own roles and intentions, rather than a single, unified entity. Erin explores how understanding and working with these parts—protectors, firefighters, and exiles—can help overcome unhealthy eating behaviors, facilitate self-compassion, and foster peace with one's body. Erin encourages listeners to explore books like Boundaries for Your Soul and invites them to join the upcoming book club and Wednesday Wellness sessions for further discussion on this topic in a supportive, community environment.
