In this Love Yourself Naked: Real Life Story, I interview Joy Hawk as she explores auto immune disease, her journey of body acceptance, family history of eating disorders, plastic surgery and discovery of breast implant illness and the healing that has come with all of it.
Here are some of the things we talk about:
- auto immune disorders
- eating disorders
- family baggage
- body image
- concerned about weight loss
- obesity
- our judgement of “fat”
- plastic surgery
- “skinny doesn’t always mean healthy”
- breast implant illness
- the emphasis our culture puts on what we “should” look like
- overburdened liver
- MTHFR gene mutation (Methylene-Tetra-Hydro-Folate-Reductase)- makes it hard to detox
- “your mess is your message”
- stopping the trauma cycle in our family
