LAVINIA RODRIGUEZ is a clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment of eating and weight disorders. For more than 30 years, she has observed how people set themselves up for failure through unrealistic diets and exercise programs, as well as through buying into out-and-out scams designed to take advantage of individuals who seriously want to improve their health and lives.
She’s the author of Mind Over Fat Matters: Conquering Psychological Barriers to Weight Management which deals primarily with the mental aspects of weight loss. The book addresses everything from how to keep your mind from sabotaging your weight loss intentions to selecting a plan that sets you up for success instead of perpetuating the yo-yo syndrome of weight loss and gain.
Dr. Rodriguez is a dynamic keynote speaker and regularly speaks to audiences on topics relating to food, weight and eating problems. She’s also a recognized expert in the media and is regularly interviewed by television, radio and print outlets.
Her blog at www.FatMatters.com, features dozens of articles on a variety of psychological topics meant to help people resolve their psychological barriers with food and weight.view less
