HEALTHY WEIGHT FOR LIFE WORKSHOP
Rev. Pamela Chamberlynn, M.S.W., is a medical social worker and a graduate of Duke University Integrative Medicine Center as an Integrative Health Coach Professional and a Mindfulness Professional. Like many people Pamela has struggled with her weight and learned that dieting does not work for permanent healthy life long changes in your body. Many psychologists specializing in weight issues point out that over eating is a symptom of the problem, not the real problem itself. Stress and stress management is the real problem and implies a whole different set of solutions to achieving healthy weight for life.
The Healthy Weight for Life Workshop takes a holistic body - mind - heart - and Spirit approach to addressing our weight issues and all other health issues that plague modern societies - cardiovascular disease and stroke, diabetes, cancer and many other chronic diseases pandemic in modern societies.
This workshop introduces students to:
- The leading edge Integrative Health Coach model from Duke University Integrative Medicine Center on how to successfully make positive lifestyle changes
- The use of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness practices such as mindfulness meditation to address the real cause of eating and weight problems
- A rich spiritual understanding of loving, valuing, and being kind with yourself while you address this area of your health and your life
- The seminal work of Geneen Roth and her latest books Women, Food and God and When Food is Food and Love is Love and the just published book A Course in Weight Loss by Marianne Williams
- The best modern scientific information from Duke University Integrative Medicine Center and other leading integrative medicine specialists on how to achieve your personal healthy weight for life (without dieting)
The Healthy Weight for Life Workshop is both educational and deeply experiential and practical.
