What this episode covers
Why do we reach for that exact brand of chips—or the sleeve of Oreos—when stress hits? In this candid, part 1 episode of PCOS Unfiltered, I sit down with Kerri, the self-proclaimed “Sugar Knockout” health coach, to unpack the science and psychology of emotional eating. Kerri reveals how gut imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and dopamine spikes keep us locked in a habit loop, while I share relatable stories from my ER nursing days and my own late-night Oreo rituals.
