The guest in this episode is pretty new on her journey to food freedom. After years of yo-yo dieting, binge eating and struggling with her food and body, Kellie was fed up with diet culture and everything that came with it. As a former keto influencer, she wanted to heal her relationship with food and her body and knew keto was no longer the answer. She and Jessi talk about how losing her friend to suicide spiraled her binge eating and struggles with food and body and the turning point where she found the FFM.
