Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober

E208: Stress, Depression and Our Eating Habits


Listen Later

We do the same thing with our diet that we do with our drinking- our eating habits aren’t great, but they’re not bad either so it feels manageable. Our food quality impacts our mental health and stress levels though. I’ve been struggling with fatigue and depression, so it got me interested in the link. In this episode I’m explaining the importance of breakfast and a high quality diet. You’ll learn how what you eat impacts the way you feel, how stressed you are, and how this makes us more likely to reach for a drink or to emotionally eat at the end of the day. 

What to listen to next:

E201: your dysregulated stress response

E188: wellness over weight loss
