23 | Pt. 3 of 3 - Satisfying Our Hungers for Food, Meaning & Purpose in Midlife

Part 3 of 3

Are we really hungry for food... or seeking meaning, identity & creativity, in midlife?

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest conversation about Satisfying Our Hungers for Food, Meaning & Purpose in Midlife. Dr. Adrienne Youdim lets us in on why we might always be feeling hungry. She gives us details and tools on how to evaluate if we are really hungry for food, or if we are searching for more meaning, belonging, purpose and creativity, in midlife. Adrienne’s specialized treatments have helped so many people overcome their weight issues by looking inward and digging deep into the various types of internal hunger.

We are going to dig deep into the details of Adrienne’s journey, in her “midlife remix”, in her second half of life. Get up close and personal!
