On today’s episode I’m chatting with the compassionate, humble Alexis Daddio (aka @restoring_radiance on Instagram.)

Lex is one of the first food and health Instagrams I followed way back and she continues to be one of my favorites because of her kind honest approach to health. Over the years, she’s shared her story about her experience with binge eating disorder and how she over came it. She shares with so much honesty and insight.

One my favorite parts of our conversation is when we dive into intuitive eating and simplifying our health routines. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed in this wellness world and Alexis shares such a great example of some switches she’s made recently that have made life more simple and enjoyable.

On today’s show, we talk about everything from how she started her Instagram (and accidentally made it public) to the path she’s taken to overcome her binge eating disorder and finally the things that are making her happiest now.
