The Intentional Clinician, Episode #2.
Overcoming Emotional Eating with Karthik Ramanan (soon to be Consultant).
This week, Paul Krauss MA LPC interviews soon-to-be Naturopathic Consultant Karthik Ramanan about his life, emotional eating, food addiction, overcoming an unhealthy lifestyle, lifestyle medicine, preventative medicine, depression, mental health, overcoming self-doubt and much much more.
At 27 years old, Karthik’s life was successful by most standards. He had a well paying corporate job in the finance industry. He lived in a nice apartment. He was able to pay off his undergraduate student loans. But with the accumulated stress from work and years-long low self-image, Karthik found himself to be 100 pounds overweight and headed in the direction of chronic disease and an unfulfilling life.
In 2011, that all changed. In a moment of “enough is enough”, he discovered the power of eating real, earth-grown foods and shifting his mindset, believing that he too could find health and fulfillment. He then proceeded to lose 100 pounds, change careers, and started a four-year accredited program at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine to become a naturopathic consultant.
Karthik is on a mission to help others like him shed their previously held beliefs of what’s possible for themselves, overcome chronic stress and lifestyle ailments, and find true health and fulfillment.
