    Nova Scotia’s Obesity Network: Why Every Province Needs One!

    What if every province in Canada had a dedicated network to help improve obesity care and support people living with obesity? In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we’re talking about the Halifax Obesity Network and why we think it’s such a great idea that deserves to be adopted across Canada! We discuss what makes this approach to obesity care so promising, why programs like this could make a difference for people living with obesity, and why we believe other provinces, including New Brunswick, should look at what Nova Scotia is doing. Obesity is about more than weight. Access to support, understanding, and appropriate healthcare can make a real difference in people's lives. We share our thoughts on why having a network that brings people and healthcare resources together is a step in the right direction, and why we would love to see similar initiatives become available throughout the country. Could this be part of a better future for obesity care in Canada? We think it’s an idea worth talking about! 🔗 Check out the Halifax Obesity Network: https://www.nshealth.ca/clinics-programs-and-services/halifax-obesity-network Join Kate and Isaiah for an honest, personal conversation about obesity, healthcare, weight management, and the changes we would like to see across Canada. 💬 Join the conversation!

    Write It Down, Lose the Weight? How Journaling Can Help With Obesity

    Can something as simple as writing things down actually help when it comes to obesity and weight loss? In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, Kate and Isaiah dive into the potential role of journaling in managing obesity, changing eating habits, and understanding our relationship with food. From tracking what we eat and how we feel to recognizing emotional eating, cravings, triggers, and patterns, journaling may offer a simple way to become more aware of the choices we make every day.

In this episode, we talk about: • Journaling and obesity • Tracking food and eating habits • Emotional eating and food triggers • Understanding cravings and patterns • Mindful eating and self-awareness • Weight loss and behaviour change • Whether journaling can actually make a difference If you're living with obesity, trying to lose weight, or simply looking for a better understanding of your relationship with food, this conversation may give you something new to think about. 🎙️ Listen, watch, and join the conversation with Kate & Isaiah Living Large.
