Join me as I sit down with Food Addiction Recovery Coach, Shelly-Anne Mckay. Shelly-Anne opens up about her journey with food addiction, sharing how it became her initial struggle before alcohol and drugs. Shelly-Anne and I delve into the complexities of food addiction, from the daily decisions around eating to the pervasive influence of ultra-processed foods.

We explore parallels between food addiction and other dependencies, highlighting stress as a major trigger for cravings and distinguishing between binge eating disorder and food addiction. Shelly underscores the power of self-compassion and delving into the root causes of cravings.

Throughout our conversation, Shelly-Anne McKay and I discuss the nuances of food addiction, including how environmental cues can intensify cravings and the realities of desserts falling short of expectations. Shelly-Anne stresses the importance of mindful eating and shares insights into recognizing when professional support may be needed, pointing to resources available within the Soul Sisters United community. Ultimately, our discussion highlights the crucial role of connection and support in navigating and overcoming the challenges of food addiction just like alcohol use disorder.Take the Food Addiction Quiz
