E17 - Eating When Life Gets Tough

The Mindful Balance

Nov 6 2023 • 21 mins

In this episode of The Mindful Balance, we discuss the connection between our emotions and our eating habits, especially during life's more challenging chapters. We'll explore:

  • The evolutionary roots of emotional eating and how our ancient instincts still influence our modern-day responses to stress.
  • The role of societal norms in shaping our relationship with food beyond mere sustenance.
  • The distinction between the higher and lower brain functions and how they play into our eating behaviors.
  • A fresh perspective on breaking the cycle of emotional eating without the need for deep emotional excavation.
  • Practical insights on how to separate the feeling of an urge from the action of indulging it, empowering you to rewrite your response to emotional triggers.

Join us as we unpack the layers of emotional eating and offer a compassionate approach to regaining control, one mindful choice at a time.
