The Soul's Call to Release Our Health Anxieties – In Session with Marc David

Ever hear the phrase "health is wealth?" For many people, we don't quite recognize how valuable our health is until we find illness or injury knocking. Enjoying robust health is truly the foundation of a happy, fulfilled, and connected life. But it's also true that worrying about our health, or being vigilant about every aspect of our diet and lifestyle, can actually take us in the opposite direction of vitality – as Marc David explores with 53-year old Daniela. Daniela's health anxieties – like many people – were born at a young age. As a child, Daniela had always thought she was pretty – gorgeous, even. But at the age of 15, her father told her she was overweight, and in that single instant, her whole world flipped. She began to have constant intrusive thoughts that she was fat, and that something was wrong with her – something that she just had to figure out how to fix. Now almost 40 years later, Daniela has endured a series of serious health challenges: a pituitary tumor, thyroid dysfunction, knee surgery, and more. The more health challenges that develop, the more she worries. And her doctors do little to alleviate her concerns – with all their talk of visceral fat, and cholesterol, and how important it is to lose weight. Daniela's life feels like it's constricting around her. She's tired of the decades of yo-yo dieting. She just wants to eat food that nourishes her, be at a moderate weight, and enjoy a healthy life. But she can't escape the feeling that her body is against her. So in this session, Marc helps Daniela see her story and her relationship with her body from a different perspective: that of her soul. Because it's Daniela's soul that is calling out for a different kind of life: one where she can stop fighting herself and instead embrace the precious life she has the opportunity to live.
