## Resource

This is Part 2 of my live Q&A series where I dive into the deeper questions that keep physicians up at night. The stuff that makes you wonder if you're broken (spoiler: you're not). In this episode, I answer: Is it food addiction or emotional eating? When it feels like "I must eat and I don't know how to not do it" - and what labels actually help vs hurt What to do about sweet tooth cravings hitting every 4-5 days when you're eating low carb high fat How to handle identity shifts when your health finally improves after years of limitations These aren't surface-level questions. This is about figuring out what empowers you vs what makes you feel broken, practical solutions for low carb adaptation, and navigating the weird space when your body can suddenly do things it couldn't for years. Perfect for physicians who want to understand what's really driving their cravings and are ready to feel empowered instead of controlled by food. Listen today! Pssst…Make sure you listened to Part 1 where we covered emotional eating during chronic stress, those brutal 2 AM call room binges, and why starting feels so impossible.
