Ep. 21 - Nervous System Regulation, Emotional Eating & Why It Matters with Jeb Stuart Johnston

This week’s episode, we go all in on what emotional eating actually is. We’re joined by Jeb Stuart Johnston, who helps us break down the theory and principles behind emotional eating and nervous system regulation in a way that’s grounded, nuanced, and human.Carmie and Dal reflect on their own personal experiences and what emotional regulation has meant in their journeys, including just how much context matters. Culture, family dynamics, and the environments we grow up in all play a bigger role than we often acknowledge.We talk about self-trust, self-leadership, and the idea of radical acceptance, and why these pieces are often missing in traditional health conversations.For coaches, we also touch on Jeb’s mentorship, The Order of the Awakened Genius, and dig into the art of coaching, why this work matters, and how it connects directly to long-term health and wellness.There’s so much packed into this episode, from the influence of social media to the language and messaging used in the health space, and how that can negatively impact the end user. Expect education, laughs, and a few deeper moments too. You won’t want to miss this one.Connect with Jeb on IG @jebstuartjohnstonCheck out his website Food on the MindListen to his podcast Food on the Mind: Awakened GeniusConnect with Carmie on IG @carmhawk_getsfitConnect with Dal on IG @nutritioncoachingbydal
