There are so many female forward issues that I care about as a mother, a physician and a citizen of the world.
But as this #internationalwomensday is upon us the sexual violence that occurred on October 7 is top of mind.
Not only because it has been documented to have been incredibly brutal and uniquely savage but because of the deep disappointment to know that the world has turned their back on these woman.
I cannot imagine any scenario in which I could not or would not support or have empathy for a Hindu/Latina/Black/Christian/Asian/Muslim/Buddhist/Zoroastrian/LGBTQ/sister who had been sexually violated.
This is not about politics or religion or race or ethnicity. It is about women.
As woman and caretakers we cannot help but have empathy.
And yet the woman of the world have disregarded these woman.
Growing up I thought antisemitism no longer existed. How could you not? a friend once asked. Hadn’t your family experienced religious persecution in Iran?
They had.
But I was sleeping in the comfort from what they had fled.
So to all the beautiful souls that were violated on October 7, to all of who have been hurt and disappointed by their friends, mentors, institutions, hero’s who have remained silent, we stand united. 💙🤍
And to all my non-Jewish sisters who have been so loving and supportive during this time, THANK YOU, and know we stand united as well 💙💙💙

Our relationship with food is familial, cultural, emotional but also physiologic.
Food and emotion are intertwined in our biology since birth with the release of oxytocin that allows for the production of milk so a child is fed but also facilitates loving attachment and bonding between mother and child.
Our hunger for food represents more than our need for nutrients but also our emotional and spiritual needs.
It’s been one year since the release of my tedx describing how our hunger can be the key to our understanding our unmet needs.
I describe these hungers in my book Hungry for More found on @amazon and @audible
What are you hungry for?

Hungry for More is a collection of 20 years of personal and patient stories and the science to describe what we are truly hungry for.
Our hungers represent our wants, desires and unmet needs. My passion is to encourage and engage in the deep and transformative work to understand your true hunger so that you live up to your greatest potential.

There is a very human need to be seen, validated and valued. The absence of this emotional support ignites a hunger that we seek to soothe with over-eating, over-drinking, over-working and people pleasing.
We can seek this validation from outside ourselves but no amount of outside validation will land if we first offer it to ourselves.

5 years later the stories and science behind Hungry for More feel especially relevant.

In the era of GLP1s we have more tools than ever to change our relationship with food and our bodies. But what about our relationship with ourselves?

Hungry for More was never just about food. It was about the deeper hungers that shape our lives and what happens when we learn to listen rather than suppress them.

A message worth revisiting.

The first time I spoke in front of an audience was 20 years ago- almost to the day- at medical grand rounds at Cedars Sinai as the director of a program I help found. Since then I have spoken at hospitals, professional conferences, retreat centers and leadership development programs to doctors, executives and professionals on everything from weight loss drugs to the hidden hungers that impede us from making the impact we so desire.
But today I had the opportunity to speak to my own community.
To the 70+ women who joined. Thank you. To the old friends that joined. Thank you. To the new friends that joined. Thank you. And to the one who made it possible @niki_yadegar_azema @heart_centered_women
Thank YOU!
Today was a gift 💫

As a obesity medicine specialist I use GLP1s to suppress hunger so my patients can lost weight.
But in 2 decades of doing this work, I recognize that certain hungers are not meant to be suppressed.
In fact these hungers are there for a reason. Your body's intelligent signal to alert you to something in your life that needs your attention.
If only you will listen💫

A missed meal, loneliness, feeling undervalued and a lost sense of purpose.

When our needs go unmet, the body registers it as stress. It cannot tell the difference between your social media feed and a tiger in your face.
Heart rate goes up, sugar spills into the blood stream for quick energy and the survival brain takes over.
This response is brilliant in a moment of danger but it was never designed to stay on indefinitely.
If this landed full FUEL blueprint linked in bio.
