Finding Freedom From Emotional Eating & Food Disorders with Amber Romaniuk l Unpacking and Healing What Lies Underneath Our Hunger for Ultimate Body Freedom

In this episode, we sit down with Amber Romaniuk for a deep dive into the numerous root causes of emotional eating. She discusses how the food industry has shaped our behaviors by promoting highly processed, dopamine-driven foods that hijack our brain’s reward pathways and keep us stuck in cycles of craving, guilt, and restriction.

She offers practical steps for healing, including building awareness around emotional vs. physical hunger, stabilizing blood sugar with nourishing foods, supporting digestion and hormones, and cultivating safety and self-trust instead of restriction or shame. Addressing food addiction, she emphasizes compassion, mindset work, and non-food coping tools to break binge-and-restrict loops.
