Dear kindred soul:

Have you ever wondered what drives you to say or do certain things at certain times and other things at other times? Have you ever asked yourself what makes you eat when you feel down and what determines the way you feel and the rules you live by? Have you ever wondered where your thoughts are coming from and how they influence you in the way you talk to yourself and others?

In studying what makes dieters successful and what characterizes top achievers in all areas of life, I came across the work of my dear friend Andrea Frank Henkart, Ph.D. (c.) A renaissance woman and a self-actualized human being, Andrea is one of the world’s foremost authorities in human communication who has reflected for many decades about the answers to the above questions.

In this contribution to the Diet for a New Life Program, Frank Henkart will help us understand what drives our internal communication also called self-talk and how that influences the relationship we have with ourselves and with the outside world. She will identify what the hidden determinants of the human conditioning are and how our values, beliefs and rules drive our inner and outer joy and happiness. She will explain why we may feel the urge to eat, smoke or drink when we are unhappy and how we can change that to take control of our lives.

A top expert in parenting and marriage counseling, Andrea Frank Henkart will guide us toward creating not only the body we desire but also the relationships we deserve with ourselves and others. She will point out how we can avoid destructive thoughts in our lives, toxins in our foods, and show us how we can cleanse our bodies and become free to live the life of our dreams. Enjoy Andrea and her wisdom!

May your journey be blessed!
