From Anxiety and Emotional Eating to Mindful Living: How Yvette Transformed Her Health and Happiness
When Yvette joined Max’s program, she wasn’t just struggling with her weight—she was overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck in a cycle of stress, snacking, and self-sabotage. In this powerful and honest conversation, she opens up about how addressing the root causes of her challenges led to not only lasting weight loss, but peace of mind, confidence, and joy she never thought possible.
What you will learn
• How chronic stress, anxiety, and overwork can quietly lead to emotional eating and weight gain
• Why quick fixes like the Dukan Diet fail—and what “success” in weight loss really means
• The mindset shift that helped Yvette stop punishing herself and start prioritizing her wellbeing
• How mindfulness helped her calm anxiety, reduce stress, and change her relationship with food and herself
• What “living in the present” really looks like, and how it can break the cycle of stress and overeating
• Why walking became her form of therapy, and how daily movement transformed her body and mood
• The importance of accountability, community, and compassionate coaching in making change last
• How real coaching differs from diets—empowering you to build habits, self-awareness, and belief in your ability to change
By focusing on mindfulness, compassion, and small, consistent habits, Yvette lost nearly 10 kilos and six inches from her waist—but more importantly, she found calm, balance, and a renewed sense of self. Her story shows that sustainable transformation is not about restriction or perfection—it’s about awareness, kindness, and learning to enjoy the process.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by stress or emotional eating, or believed you couldn’t change, this conversation will show you that it is possible—with the right support and the right mindset.
