In Entry 18, Amy sits down with Cindy Spratt, a holistic nutritionist who is real food based, specializing in eating psychology, eating disorders, body image, and culinary & functional nutrition. Cindy's story is fascinating and inspiring: now a mom to a 15 year old son living her purpose to serve others who have struggled with disordered eating and body image, Cindy talks about her own past with growing up with an obsession of being thin that quickly turned into a full-fledged eating disorder. After being diagnosed with cancer in her early 30s, she turned a completely new leaf and started her journey of non-stop learning, healing, and teaching others what she has learned. She's also celebrating 13+ years being cancer free, and is an absolute gem of a human to listen to and learn from.

Customer Reviews
Highly relatable for anyone struggling with mental health
While I do not struggle with an eating disorder, I do struggle with anxiety, depression and ADHD. I found a lot of the things Amy talked about, especially the shame narrative in episode 2, and the points on how to counter it to be very relatable. I love how real and candid the podcast is as Amy shares her inner struggles with Bulimia and the affects this had on her various relationships and even professional life. As a firm believer in the power of meditation, journaling and therapy, I thought Amy’s testimony on the use of these resources as tools for healing from her trauma to be very motivational. Overall, I believe this podcast to be very inspirational to anyone struggling with mental illness as Amy shows through her words the progress one can make when one prioritizes their well-being and takes the steps needed to begin the long and arduous process of healing/self-growth.
