Episode Synopsis

Feeling anxious around food? Are you an "emotional eater?" Do you find yourself eating to cope with stress, boredom, or overwhelming emotions? You're not alone...and nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, let's talk about what emotional eating is, where it comes from and most importantly, what to do about it. You'll learn the 4-step system I use with clients to interrupt the emotional eating cycle, including how to map your triggers, distinguish physical hunger from emotional urgency, and build a toolkit of alternatives that actually work for you. It's not about restriction or willpower - it's about giving yourself more options so food stops being your only coping mechanism.
