Healing Your Inner Eater: Transforming Your Relationship with Food

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with eating disorder specialist and dietitian Jessica Setnick to unpack something deeper than food itself—your relationship with it.As we talked, it became clear that this isn’t just about what we eat… it’s about what we believe, what we’ve experienced, and what we’ve carried—sometimes since childhood.I realized that so many of us aren’t struggling with “food problems”, we’re navigating emotional patterns, inherited habits, and internal narratives that have quietly shaped how we eat, cope, and even judge ourselves.We dive into what it really means to “heal your inner eater,” and why labeling yourself—like calling yourself an emotional eater—can sometimes keep you stuck instead of set free.Jessica shares eye-opening insights on how childhood experiences, shame, and even generational patterns influence our eating behaviors, and she gives practical tools—like learning the difference between physical hunger and emotional triggers—that can shift everything.One of the biggest takeaways for me? How you feel after you eat is often how you felt before you ate… and that right there changes the conversation.This episode isn’t about restriction—it’s about awareness. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, releasing shame, and creating a healthier, more honest relationship with food and your body.Connect with Jessica Setnick:⁠Jessica Setnick's Website⁠⁠https://www.understandingnutrition.com/⁠
