"In Food Story, Elise Museles shows you how to heal your relationship with food, make nourishing choices, and feel 'in charge' of your health and your life." --Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Pegan Diet and head of strategy and innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine

Finding peace with food isn't about eating more kale, drinking more water, or doing more yoga. It's about unlocking your food story, your inner narrative about what you eat and why you eat what you do.

When it comes to food, everyone has a story. The way you feel about food, think about food, deprive yourself or overindulge, the specific things you crave ... There's always a story behind it. Your food story is a big swirl of many things: how you were raised, the messages you received from influential people and absorbed from the media, your positive memories and your painful memories about food. All of it comes together to create thoughts and patterns that directly impact your health and happiness.
