ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to the Emotional Eats Podcast!
I had been connecting with Maryanna on social media for a while, and somewhere along the way I started listening to her podcast, Take the Turn, with her husband Jay. I really enjoyed their conversations about navigating midlife and all the changes that come with it. So when they asked me to come on and talk about emotional eating, I was extremely honored.
And we had such a great conversation.
We talked about my own history with emotional and secret eating, why you cannot out-diet emotional eating, and why midlife and menopause can make our relationship with food feel even harder. We also get into sugar cravings and dopamine, perfectionism and people pleasing, blood sugar, slowing down when you eat, and why so many capable women can take care of everyone and everything but still feel out of control around food.
Most importantly, we talk about looking beyond what you're eating and getting curious about what is happening before you reach for the food.
If you've ever wondered why you know what to do but still find yourself reaching for sugar, overeating, or using food to comfort yourself, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.
Check out the Take the Turn Podcast especially if you are in your 40's and 50's and are navigating all the midlife things.
