Intro

Our relationship with food is so much more psychological then it appears to be, and the evidence for that can be seen with emotional eating. Sometimes we eat as a way to process or regulate our emotions, rather than from actual hunger. This can disrupt our relationship with food and lead us to develop unhealthy coping mechanisms. In today's episode, we discuss: 

• The psychology behind emotional eating
• Why we emotionally eat
• The impact of our hormones and stress response 
• How diet culture is putting food in control 
• The truth about intuitive eating 
• Tips to manage your emotional eating
• And more! 

I also share my own journey with emotional eating and how my relationship with food has evolved in my 20s. Listen now.
