Golda Poretsky

After spending almost her entire life dieting, Golda decided in 2007 to stop dieting and start listening to her body. In 2008, she founded Body Love Wellness (www.bodylovewellness.com), incorporating her knowledge of holistic health with her belief that health and body love and acceptance are possible at every size.

She now counsels women and men on how to get off the dieting roller coaster, give their bodies what they really crave, and love their bodies and themselves.

In addition to counseling, Golda teaches workshops and teleclasses on healthy eating without dieting, intuitive eating, and radical body love. Her counseling and activism work have been featured on CBS' "The Early Show," ABC's "Nightline," Time Out New York and The Huffington Post.

Golda has a degree in health counseling and integrative nutrition from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, as well as B.A. in history from New York University and a J.D. from New York University School of Law.
