Episode 172: Fullness with Special Guest Lisa Baty

It's Not About Food Podcast with Laurelee Roark

Fullness is the bodily experience of having just enough to eat…not too much and not too little. When we slow down, stay conscious and go within, we can hear and feel this natural bodily sensation. Every person experiences fullness differently, and some of us have learned to ignore this signal. To experience fullness you may need to practice listening to your body.

Lisa grew up in South Sacramento and moved to the Bay Area to go to college, first attending UC Santa Cruz, and then San Francisco State University. While working as a social worker in affordable housing in Sacramento and SF for 13 years, she gained experience in community organizing, program management, and advocacy for low-income residents of Mercy Housing California. Lisa has always been passionate about empowering people, women and girls in particular, which led her to Beyond Hunger, where she took the position as board president and volunteered to be an advocate for teens and adults struggling with weight issues. She decided to leave social work and become an educator. She attended SFSU and earned a Master’s in Special Education. Worked at Oakland Military Institute for 4 years, then moved back to the Sacramento area where she worked with TK- high school students receiving special education services.
