Emotional Eating Isn't a Weakness, Your Brain Thinks Discomfort Is Danger

If you've ever gone straight for the crackers or the cookies after a brutal day and then spent the next hour beating yourself up over it, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down why emotional eating isn't a sign of weakness or a lack of self control, but your brain doing exactly what it's built to do: protect you from discomfort. I share a story about my dog Jonny during a thunderstorm to make the brain science click, plus share my own history with emotional eating from my years as a Physician Assistant.
