Habit Change Eating - From Shame to Self-Care: Women’s Transformations Through Mindful Eating

Women’s Experiences with a Mindful Eating Program for Binge and Emotional Eating: A Qualitative Investigation into the Process of Change

In this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and colleagues unpack the transformative power of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in addressing binge and emotional eating. Drawing on a qualitative study, they explore how mindfulness fosters attitudinal and behavioral changes through self-awareness, self-empowerment, mindful choice-making, and resilient self-care. This research emphasizes how mindful eating shifts participants from negative to positive embodiment, enabling unforced, intuitive choices around food and self-care. Learn how these insights pave the way for community-based solutions that focus on health and well-being over weight control.
