Sumi, aged 40, joins eating psychology expert Marc David in this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast. Sumi is a functional medicine doctor in Malaysia who is self-treating for Hashimoto’s disease. She has been successfully managing her Hashimoto’s through dietary and lifestyle changes, supplements, and stress reduction. Currently a low-carbohydrate pescatarian, Sumi has a vegan before and would like to return to veganism out of ethical concerns. But her health has improved so much since eating fish and eggs that she’s hesitant to cut those foods out. What’s more, Sumi commonly counsels her patients that eating meat can be helpful in the healing process — but she feels torn between what she believes is best for her patients (and for herself), and her deeply-held spiritual and ethical beliefs.   How does Sumi get herself out of this medical and ethical conundrum?   --------------------   Learn more about The Institute for the Psychology of Eating: https://psychologyofeating.com/    Sign up for our free professional series on training with us as a health coach: https://lp.psychologyofeating.com/eating-psychology-video-series/   Follow us on social:  - Facebook: www.facebook.com/IPEfanpage - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eatingpsychology/ - Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/eatingpsych   #psychologyofeating #eatingpsychology #nutritionexpert #autoimmunedisease #thyroid #hashimotos #thyroidfood #thyroidhealth #vegan #veganismandhealth #paleo #mindbodynutrition #marcdavid
