Discover the Story Behind Your Eating Habits w/ Michelle Petties

In this episode of Conversations with Dr. Joan Ifland, special guest Michelle Petties reveals the powerful story behind her lifelong battle with food addiction. After losing and gaining over 700 pounds in her lifetime, Michelle experienced a groundbreaking moment that led her to write her book, Leaving Large: The Stories of a Food Addict. Join Dr. Ifland and Michelle as they discuss the emotional roots of food addiction, the stories we carry from childhood, and Michelle's unique four-step method to break free from unhealthy eating patterns. Learn how rewriting your story can lead to true healing and lasting change.

Michelle Petties is a TEDx speaker, author, Food Story coach, and UTA graduate.

Her memoir, Leaving Large – The Stories of a Food Addict, a category winner in The 2022 Memoir Prize for Books, features the award-winning essay, The Cake is in the Mail. Her memoir illustrates how events, experiences, and memories inform our beliefs, attitudes, and habits around food, eating, hunger, and everything else.  Michelle teaches others how to find their food and personal truths during healing-through-reading-writing-and-storytelling workshops.
