Ep. 630 Body Image, Burnout, and Boundaries in Midlife with Dr. Rachel Goldman PhD | Menopause, Perimenopause, Nervous System Health
Everyday Wellness: Midlife Hormones, Menopause, and Science for Women 35+
I’m delighted to connect with Dr. Rachel Goldman today. She is a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City and a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. She specializes in the mind-body connection using cognitive behavioral therapy, with a focus on stress management, burnout, distorted eating, bariatric surgery support, and health behavior changes. I was honored to meet Dr. Rachel in Miami at an event where we both spoke earlier this year.
In our conversation, we discuss how to approach body image in midlife, how our families influence our relationships with food, what toxic positivity is, and how it invalidates our emotions. We also explore the vulnerability of midlife and parenting, the effects of GLP-1 drugs, obesity as a disease, and the impact of mindset. Dr. Rachel also defines burnout and shares the best ways to address it.
Stay tuned for today’s invaluable conversation on body image, mindset, emotions, and navigating the challenges of midlife.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
Dr. Rachel shares her approach to helping midlife women struggling with body image and identity
How our thought processes around food can influence our emotions and behaviors
Various factors that can influence our relationship with food
How women with many rules around food can start changing their thinking
