Episode notes

In this chapter, they discuss cravings for certain foods and the influence of advertisements on our desire for these foods. They explain that cravings can be a response to needing specific nourishment or can be influenced by our environment. The conflicting messages from diet culture and mass marketing make it difficult to know what our bodies truly need.

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.
