In this episode, Gina is joined by food addiction counsellor and Obesity Matters Chair, Sandra Elia, for a powerful conversation that unpacks the emotional complexity behind why we eat the things, especially when we know they don’t make us feel good. Speaking live from New York City, where she’s attending the United Nations General Assembly, Sandra shares fresh insights from global leaders tackling the obesity epidemic and sheds light on the darker side of ultra-processed foods. From redefining what addiction to food really looks like, to challenging diet culture myths and advocating for systemic change, this episode goes beyond surface-level advice—offering real talk and real hope for those who’ve struggled to find peace with food.
