In this episode, I discuss emotional eating, where stress and other emotions drive us to food for comfort rather than actual hunger. Emotional eating is reinforced by biological responses like the release of cortisol and dopamine, creating a cycle of eating to soothe emotions. To manage this, I recommend recognizing the difference between emotional and physical hunger, checking in with yourself before eating, using stress-management techniques, and setting a regular eating routine. Seeking support can also help if emotional eating becomes a persistent issue. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help along the way.
