🎙 Episode Title: The Truth About Emotional Eating—It’s Not What You Think

🧠 What if everything you thought you knew about emotional eating was wrong?

If you’ve ever felt out of control with food, struggled with cravings, or found yourself stress-eating despite knowing better… this episode is for you.

The truth is, emotional eating isn’t just about emotions. It’s not about willpower, self-control, or needing more discipline. It’s about your nervous system, your survival instincts, and how your body responds to stress and restriction.

In this deep dive, I break down:✔️ Why your body treats dieting like a famine (and how it forces you to binge)✔️ The nervous system’s role in emotional eating—it’s not just about stress!✔️ Why extreme dieting backfires and makes cravings worse✔️ How the fitness & diet industry set you up to fail (and what to do instead)✔️ The REAL reason you can’t “just stop” emotional eating—hint: it’s biological✔️ How to regulate your nervous system so food stops feeling like a battle

🚨 This isn’t another “just eat intuitively” talk. This is the science behind why your body fights you—and how to work with it to create sustainable, long-term healing.

🔊 Listen now and learn how to stop the cycle of stress, restriction, and bingeing—for good.
