In this conversation, I sit down with therapist and Mother Hunger author Kelly McDaniel to explore the deeper emotional and relational layers that can become intertwined with food. Through Kelly’s Mother Hunger framework, we look at how early experiences with nurturing, safety, attachment, and caregiving may influence the way some of us relate to food later in life—and why food can sometimes become connected with comfort, connection, routine, and relief. We also talk about emotional eating, body image, nervous system regulation, fasting, food noise, GLP-1 medications, and the messages about our bodies that can be passed from one generation to the next. This conversation gave me an entirely new way to think about some of the struggles I’ve seen women experience when changing how they eat, because sometimes there may be more happening beneath the surface than what’s on the plate. In this episode: Kelly’s Mother Hunger framework Why food can become emotionally significant What Kelly means by “surrogate comfort” Why changing eating patterns can bring up difficult emotions Food and nervous system regulation What mothers can unintentionally teach daughters about their bodies Kelly’s perspective on food noise and GLP-1 medications How support and connection can help us create new patterns MORE ON KELLY MCDANIEL Instagram: @kellymcdanieltherapy Mother Hunger, Revised Edition For more resources related to today’s episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep369 Connect with Dr. Mindy: Join Reset Academy Watch the episodes on YouTube Follow Dr. Mindy on Instagram Subscribe to Dr. Mindy’s newsletter Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informat…","meta_description":"Why can changing the way you eat feel so emotional, even when you know exactly what you want to change?
