57: The Most Abused Substance On The Planet? Food. W/ Jillian Acosta

Ever wondered the root behind why you struggle with food? It’s likely trauma. Jillian Acosta a LDN + RD talks about the root cause behind our struggles with food + how it has never been about the food.  We talk all things emotional eating, disordered eating, the tie to food and our emotional comfort  and nervous system regulation and so much more. It was such a beautiful conversation to acknowledge how much our weight or dietary struggles or body image issues really never are about the food, its about identifying the root of where we made a connection to food and our way of coping or pushing down the things we don’t want to feel.  It was an incredibly powerful conversation and I highly encourage listening even if you don’t think you have an emotional tie to food or disordered eating of any kind because it was POWERFUL and PROFOUND! KEY TAKEAWAYS The root cause of chronic illness is often trauma. Disordered eating is not just about food; it's about emotions. Food can be a tool for emotional manipulation. Healing requires addressing the root causes of trauma. Self-compassion is crucial in the healing journey. Childhood experiences significantly impact adult eating habits. Community support plays a vital role in recovery. Emotional awareness can transform our relationship with food. Food is neutral; it's the stories we attach to it that matter. Liberation comes from feeling and processing emotions.
