46 minutes

Do you feel out of control around food, even after you thought you had your eating habits under control? We’ve all been there and many of us continue to struggle with overeating or emotional eating. This week, we brought Dr. Adrienne Youdim on the show to talk about accepting our hunger desire and understanding what it may actually be telling us. She describes what our bodies are experiencing when we reach a stress state and performs an exercise that anyone can use to help calm your mind. She is such a joy to listen to, and we have no doubt that you will walk away with a new understanding of your hunger!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Anytime you feel out of control, pause and take five deep breaths. This is what you can control, and it will have an immense impact on how you react to the thing that feels out of your control.

Each day is an opportunity to approach a problem in a new way. Don’t focus on how you handled it in the past, or what you want to do in the future, just focus on the present and pause, and determine how you want to react in this moment.

Emotional hunger is not something that is wrong with you, it is a human experience. You have the ability to pause and to start practicing acknowledgement of what you are experiencing and a kind invitation to start exploring what that can mean in your life.
