Why Listening To Your Body Changes Everything – Shelly Besancon

In this talk, Shelly Besancon challenges the way we’ve been taught to think about weight loss and dieting. Rather than offering another plan, set of rules, or strategy to “try harder,” Shelly invites the audience to reconsider the role the body plays in weight loss and why so many diets fail despite best intentions.<br data-text="true">Drawing from personal experience and years of coaching, Shelly explores how restriction, vigilance, and scarcity conflict with human biology, and how hunger, cravings, and weight regain are often misinterpreted as personal failure instead of meaningful feedback. She reframes these experiences as signals the body uses to communicate its needs, not signs that something is wrong.<br data-text="true">This talk offers a shift in perspective from control to understanding, from restarting diets to restoring the conditions the body responds to. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of why listening to the body matters, how attention changes outcomes, and why lasting weight loss begins not with force, but with awareness.<br data-text="true">Shelly Besancon is a weight loss coach and educator who helps women break free from dieting by learning how to work with their bodies instead of against them. After years of navigating the diet cycle herself, Shelly shifted her focus from rules and restriction to understanding the body’s biological signals, rhythms, and responses.<br data-text="true">shelly.besancon@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/SBesancon/https://www.instagram.com/weightloss_coach_shelly/https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelly-besancon/
