Episode 106: Holistic with Special Guest Marie Noel Appel

As Beyond Hunger Board Member and Volunteer extraordinaire Marie talks about what holistic recovery from eating disorders and body hatred look like. Holistic means looking at ourselves in a way that includes our entire being, taking each part of ourselves into consideration. When we stop measuring ourselves by how we look, how thin we are or how much weight we’ve lost, we can begin to embrace all of the physical, emotional and spiritual parts of ourselves. We move beyond the goals of having a certain body type and into the integrity and magic of the recovery process itself.Marie is an attorney who helps protect consumers by seeking remedies for violations of consumer protection laws, primarily on a class basis.  Marie also has a long history of pro bono involvement and currently is a regular volunteer at the Community Legal Assistance Saturday Program, a monthly free legal clinic sponsored by the Alameda County Bar Association.  In the past, Marie served on Beyond Hunger’s Board of Directors for several years.   ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
