Food is Not Comfort.

from Food is Fuel & Other thoughts to eat by · host Albert G. Lotito

Ever find yourself eating just because food is available, or because you worry you might get hungry later – even if you're not truly hungry now? Or perhaps you reach for certain foods when you're feeling lonely, sad, or simply looking for a moment of comfort? In this candid episode, Albert G. Lotito explores these common yet often unexamined eating triggers. He unpacks the surprising (and often irrational) fears that can drive us to eat, and then reads from his book's chapter, 'Food is Not Comfort,' inviting a deeper reflection on whether we're seeking true nourishment or attempting to self-medicate with food. Prepare to ask some insightful questions and look at your own motivations with fresh eyes.
