So many of us assume our eating habits come down to willpower, discipline, or “just making better choices.” But that starts to fall apart the second you find yourself standing in the kitchen, eating something you didn’t even really want, or wondering why the cravings hit so hard by 3 p.m.

Amy shares a simple framework for understanding the different reasons we eat, and it opens up a much more useful way to look at cravings, mindless snacking, and those moments where you feel like you’ve gone off the rails. Sometimes you don’t need more rules. You need a clearer picture of what’s actually happening.

Dr. Amy Behimer is a doctor of pharmacy and autoimmune health coach helping people navigate the challenges that come with a life changing diagnosis.
