Why Emotional Metabolism is Key to a Vibrant, Healthy Life with Marc David

Why Emotional Metabolism is Key to a Vibrant, Healthy Life Eating psychology expert and founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David explains the concept of emotional metabolism. While physiological metabolism governs the literal breakdown of what we eat and drink, emotional metabolism is all about processing emotions that come up in the course of everyday life. As Marc explains, metabolizing our emotions is vital not just to our psychological health — but to our physical health as well. Don’t miss this insightful podcast!   Key Insights:   The body’s metabolism takes the air we breathe and the food and water we consume, and turns it into fuel while removing toxins. This is nutritional metabolism.    Emotional metabolism involves the deliberate, consistent practice of allowing our emotions to surface. We then have the opportunity to become more conscious and present human beings.   When we don’t allow ourselves to feel and process our emotions, there can be a literal effect on the body’s physiology and organ systems.   Unwanted eating challenges such as overeating, binge eating, and emotional eating are often signs of unprocessed emotions or trauma.   Societal conditioning tells us to “suck it up” or “get with the program” — meaning, we’re often encouraged to suppress and deny our feelings. Rejecting this conditioning and embracing our feelings — including the challenging ones — is fundamental to enjoying a healthy and fulfilling life.    With his dual training in clinical nutrition and psychology, Marc David has spent the last 40 years helping people around the world heal their relationship with food.
