Emotional Eating & How to Stop It


Breaking free from emotional eating is essential to long-term health and wellness, and it can be done - with the right tools. Often, we do not understand why we use food to deal with emotions and assume it is a lack of willpower.  Emotional eating is a common trap, it provides short-term comfort, at the expense of our health and peace of mind. In this episode, Dr Lucy and Dr Mary discuss the root causes of emotional eating, and how it results from our brain's survival mechanism to cope with uncomfortable feelings. You will learn the powerful tools to break free from the emotional eating cage. Develop awareness of your “P.H.A.L.T.” triggers, and learn that willpower is not the solution. Instead, you can develop a healthy set of mindset tools that unshackle you from emotional eating so that you can live your best and healthiest life.

Why am I so hungry? 

Getting back control of hunger is crucial for weight loss. There are many misconceptions surrounding hunger.

Instead, it's hormonally driven, with important hormonal players like peptide YY, cholecystokinin, insulin, leptin and ghrelin all working together to signal when to stop eating. In this episode, Dr Lucy and Dr Mary break it down in a very easy-to-understand way. Gain a deeper understanding of hunger, hormones, and the best strategies for healthy and long-lasting weight management.
