Certainly, I'll incorporate the quote by Kat into the two-paragraph podcast description:In this episode of Shift with CJ, host CJ Malhotra welcomes Kat Manilova, a distinguished Health & Wellness Coach with a mission to elevate the well-being of individuals and businesses. Kat's unique blend of expertise covers emotional eating, weight loss, and the deep-seated ties between health and financial security. With a foundation rooted in communication, empathy, and holistic understanding, she unveils the pitfalls of dieting and the significance of a balanced lifestyle.Kat poignantly remarks, "It all comes down to this: Everyone wants a quick fix. Everyone wants this right now, and nobody really likes to look at the longer perspective. And this is nobody's fault; this is just how we are structured, how our brains are structured to think. We want it right now, what everyone wants right now." Reflecting on this, we dive into the tangible effects of stress on health, backed with actionable advice on nutrition and the mind-body connection. Her insights, stemming from both her coaching journey and her venture into corporate medical insurance, shine a light on the intertwining nature of physical and financial well-being. This episode is a treasure trove of transformative knowledge for anyone keen on making lasting health shifts.
