Summary

Why do we overeat, compulsively eat, or binge even when we genuinely want to stop? We’re constantly given advice about what to eat, but far less attention is given to why we eat the way we do and when you struggle with food addiction, binge eating, emotional eating, or disordered eating, knowing what you “should” do often isn’t enough to change the behavior. In Episode 401 of the Food Freedom Podcast, I’m exploring the psychology behind our relationship with food and why certain eating patterns can feel so difficult to break. If you’ve ever thought, “I know better, so why do I keep doing this?” this episode will help you look beyond willpower and start understanding what may actually be driving your behavior with food. Recovery isn’t just about changing what’s on your plate. It’s about understanding what’s happening in your head before you ever pick up the fork.
