#19 - Cravings Explained: Why They Happen (and How to Actually Handle Them)

This week, Liz dives deep into one of the most common struggles for moms trying to eat well — cravings. Whether you're snacking after dinner, constantly craving sweets, or feeling out of control around food, this episode will help you understand what's actually going on and how to handle it with more ease and awareness. You'll learn how to tell whether your cravings are driven by: True physical hunger (your body genuinely needs fuel), Emotional eating (you're using food to soothe stress, overwhelm, or boredom), or Habit patterns (your brain has simply learned to expect food at certain cues). Instead of relying on willpower, Liz shares her calm, evidence-based approach to identifying the root cause of cravings and addressing it from both sides — physiological and emotional. You'll also hear why sleep, stress, and balanced meals matter more than perfection when it comes to reducing cravings long-term. --- Check out the Nourished Mom Program and/or book a discovery call: https://www.lizdornian.com/coaching Follow Liz on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizdornian/ --- Work with Ally: https://www.drallypower.com/ Follow Ally on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drallypower/ ---- Follow The 80% Club Podcast for more real conversations about nutrition, hormones, and habits for moms.
