Is Food a Reward?

Listen in as I share how food has been used as a reward historically and why that might not really serve you well when you're trying to change your eating habits. Dopamine, the "reward hormone" plays a very large role in this, but unfortunately can strengthen your brain's link between food and reward, making it more likely for it to become a habit to eat a food in a certain circumstance. You'll also learn how to become aware if you're using food as a reward, as well as what serves as a much more powerful reward and motivator, plus how to use that reward to your advantage.__________FREE CONSULTFinally break free from overeating and emotional eating habits, and lose weight without the willpower battle. ✨Book a Free Consult__________FREE CLASSStop the Snacking Spiral with 3 easy steps to start today.Plus a bonus tool to prevent food guilt, shame, frustration and quitting on yourself.🍪Stop the Snacking Spiral__________WEEKLY NOTESJoin 'Lighter Notes' - weekly email notes for a healthy relationship with food and body.💌 Get Weekly 'Lighter Notes'__________DISCOVER MORELearn more about how I can help you.💻Visit my Website__________FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIALinkedIn: Follow & Connect with MeFacebook: Follow & Connect with MeInstagram: Follow & Connect with Me__________✨Helping women in healthcare create a healthy relationship with food and lose weight for life....By breaking free from eating habits like overeating, stress eating, emotional eating, mindless snacking, and cravings.Plus, forming healthy weight loss habits.You're ready to finally feel at peace with food, confident in your body and lose weight sustainably.I'm your Eating Habits and Weight Loss Coach, and I'm ready to help you achieve that.Take the next step and explore 1:1 coaching with me.
