Healing Your Inner Eater: Transforming Your Relationship with Food

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with eatingdisorder specialist and dietitian Jessica Setnick to unpack something deeperthan food itself—your relationship with it.As we talked, it became clear that this isn’t just aboutwhat we eat… it’s about what we believe, what we’ve experienced, and what we’vecarried—sometimes since childhood. I realized that so many of us aren’t struggling with “foodproblems”, we’re navigating emotional patterns, inherited habits, and internalnarratives that have quietly shaped how we eat, cope, and even judge ourselves.We dive into what it really means to “heal your innereater,” and why labeling yourself—like calling yourself an emotional eater—cansometimes keep you stuck instead of set free.Jessica shares eye-opening insights on how childhoodexperiences, shame, and even generational patterns influence our eatingbehaviors, and she gives practical tools—like learning the difference betweenphysical 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 rightthere 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.
