“The Superwoman Syndrome runs deep for emotional eaters.” - Tricia Nelson

Emotional eating is a complex issue that many people face where they’re using food as a coping mechanism to deal with stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges. Unfortunately, using food to feel better or as a distraction never pays off and typically leads to a cycle of overeating, guilt, and further emotional distress, making it difficult to establish a healthy relationship with food.

The key to starting to shift this pattern is to understand the underlying causes. The solution will not come through dieting but through a lifestyle shift and the development of healthier coping strategies.

Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Emotional Eating Expert, Tricia Nelson. Tricia lost fifty pounds by identifying and healing the underlying causes of her emotional eating. She is a TEDx speaker, whose talk has garnered over 2 million views on YouTube and the author of the #1 bestselling book, Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now. Tricia is the host of the popular podcast, The Heal Your Hunger Show, and has spent over thirty years researching the hidden causes of the addictive personality.

In this conversation, Tricia and I discuss why people use food for emotional reasons, Tricia’s struggles with weight and emotional eating, the need to address underlying emotional issues, her strategies for making sustainable life changes, practical tips for managing emotional eating, and more. Enjoy the episode!
