Total Health in Midlife with Elizabeth Sherman

234: Why You Eat at Night


Listen Later

You’ve been “good” all day. You ate the healthy lunch. You passed on the afternoon treat. You had a reasonable dinner. And then… it hits. That creeping, nagging feeling that something is missing. You’re not hungry—but the pantry is calling your name.

If you’re stuck in the cycle of nighttime overeating and can’t figure out why your willpower disappears after dark, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we unpack the real reasons why evenings feel so hard—and why diets, discipline, and food rules won’t fix the problem. You’ll learn what your body and brain are actually asking for when you reach for food at night, and how to start addressing those needs in ways that actually work.

Because it’s not about controlling the snack. It’s about solving the right problem.

  • The emotional needs you might be trying to soothe with food
