In this 60 min group medical visit, our internal medicine specialist, Dr. Sylvie Galindo, will discuss Metabolic Syndrome and answer participant questions regarding this topic. Participants will be prompted to fill out a form during registration so they can submit questions and desired discussion points for the physician in advance. 

*Please note that these are smaller group medical visits and there are a limited number of spots. To keep things fair for other participants, please register only if you can commit to attending. If you register but neglect to show up, the $40 cancellation fee for a missed appointment will apply. 

In this session, we will explore how emotion, thoughts, and behavior are interconnected and affect our eating. We will spend some time reflecting on and identifying emotion(s) that trigger eating.  We will explore comfort foods and discuss the role of mindful eating in helping manage hedonic hunger.  

*Please note. This session was previously session 2 of the Busting Barriers module.

Preparing meals for one person can present some unique challenges, some of which include: food waste, dietary fatigue from leftovers, difficulty altering calculations for recipes, decreased motivation, and lack of resources/support. In this session we will explore strategies for working through these barriers to make meal planning more feasible and enjoyable as a single person.
