Lucia came to the LLC after a lifetime of battling with issues of binge eating, gastrointestinal problems, and anxiety around food. Throughout the years, Lucia would try any diet that was presented to her, however, none of them gave her the results she was looking for and eventually she came to realize that these diets often worsened her anxiety around food.
Lucia began individualized nutrition sessions and cooking classes with Health Education Promotora, Irene and in a few months, Lucia has improved her relationship with food while also staying nourished. Now, she really enjoys meal prepping a variety of healthy meals for the week, she drinks more water, and no longer has the all-or-nothing mentality she began her journey with.
"My anxiety around food has lessened, I have lost weight, my digestion and energy have improved, I have been reducing food waste and saving money with meal prepping, and surprisingly I am now excited to cook. I am very thankful for this new outlook on life and I am looking forward to maintaining it so I can continue improving my physical and mental health. A huge shout out and thank you to the LLC for changing my life."
