206. "My partner is unhealthy. How do I talk to them about this?" With Chase + Mimi.

What if you completely disagree with your partner's health decisions? Do you have the right to even bring it up to them?

Maybe they are gaining an unhealthy amount of weight. Maybe they are becoming too obsessed and compulsive with food and exercise. Maybe you don't share similar health values at all!

Weight, health, values, compulsions...This is obviously a VERY sensitive topic.

Chase + I have direct personal experience as our orthorexic compulsions around food and exercise were a contributing factor in our dysfunction and separation.

This episode will help you navigate this tough issue with more love, confidence and healthy communication tools -- ones that we didn't have when we faced this ourselves.

About the Podcast

The Medicin
Healthy relationship supported by healthy body / mind / spirit
We (Mimi + Chase) were childhood sweethearts, married in our early 20's, spent 3 years of marriage figuring out that we had nothing figured out. In 2016 we actually separated and legally divorced, thinking we'd never see each other again. After 3 years of intense self-development, discovery and personal epiphanies, we organically reunited in 2019 - with a whole new outlook on love, Source + the real Medicins of this life.
This podcast is about exploring with guests and in ourselves what we find fascinating in the realm of holistic health, spiritual exploration & romantic partnership.
