The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast Why Smart, Successful People Struggle with Emotional Eating with Jessica Procini
On this week’s Classic Rewind episode, we’re revisiting one of our most powerful conversations from the archive - because the message is just as relevant (and needed) today as it was when it first aired.
My guest is Jessica Procini, founder of Escape from Emotional Eating. Jessica is on a mission to help high-achieving women break free from the cycle of emotional eating - not by focusing on what’s on their plate, but by uncovering and healing the emotional and psychological roots driving the behavior.
In this candid and deeply insightful interview, Jessica shares her own journey with emotional eating - despite being a fitness instructor and nutrition school grad - and how traditional advice like “just eat healthier” or “try more willpower” completely missed the mark.
We explore:
- What emotional eating actually is (it’s not what you think)
- Why high performers are especially vulnerable to it
- The four hidden “roots” of emotional eating
- How stress, self-loathing, and even celebration can trigger it
- Why healing emotional eating goes far beyond therapy or meal plans
- A powerful tool to help you eat for energy - not emotion
If you’ve ever found yourself turning to food for comfort, stress relief, or simply to take the edge off a busy day, this episode is a must-listen.
