The Fit2Fat2Fit Experience EP085: The Mental & Emotional Aspects of Food Cravings
Your food cravings are emotional responses to your need to soothe yourself says Drew’s guest expert, Stephanie Dodier. Stephanie is an eating coach and a graduate of the Institute of Holistic Nutrition. She has studied the mental and emotional side of transformation through alternative therapies. She shares her story of losing 100 pounds and still being unhappy because she had no mind-body connection. Stephanie believes women have a harder time overcoming food cravings, a breathing technique can help stave off cravings and most people need to re-work their relationship with food.
