Ep. 18 The Trigger Isn’t the Treat — What’s Really Causing the Craving


Listen Later

You think you're craving food…
But what if what you're actually craving is relief?

In this powerful episode, Danielle kicks off the Trigger Series by unpacking what's really happening beneath emotional eating. Spoiler alert: it's not about the peanut butter, the chocolate chips, or the cookies—it's about the feeling that came before it.

She shares the raw story of a pantry binge moment, breaks down the brain science behind food triggers, and helps you identify what's really driving those “out of nowhere” cravings.

This episode will help you:

  • Understand what a food trigger actually is

  • Recognize the emotional patterns that lead to reactive eating

  • Learn why your brain links comfort to food—and how to start shifting that response

  • Drop the shame and pick up curiosity and compassion

    You don't need more control—you need clarity.
    Because once you see the trigger, you can finally break the cycle.

    And don't forget—share this episode if it helped you. Tag me on IG @ironbutterfly_fitness and let's get real about the real reason we keep reaching for the pantry.
