In this episode, host Rachel Foy dives deep into a topic that often flies under the radar in the weight loss conversation: emotional eating.

Rachel shares her personal journey with emotional eating and challenges the outdated idea that it's not a “real” problem worth addressing. She breaks down exactly what emotional eating is, why willpower and discipline aren’t enough to solve it and why even appetite-suppressing medications like GLP-1s don’t get to the root cause. You’ll learn why so many of us are stuck soothing our feelings with food and why this has more to do with emotional regulation skills we never learned growing up than with a lack of control.

If you’ve ever found yourself reaching for snacks when you’re stressed, lonely or just overwhelmed no matter how much you promise yourself not to this episode will help you understand why. Rachel outlines how to start rewiring your brain and building healthier coping strategies, so you can finally become a “normal eater” and achieve lasting freedom from food struggles.
