Make Peace With Food Minisode: What Triggers Us Into Protection Mode and Why We Self-Sabotage?

Sherry Shaban is a wellness coach and a transformational strategist specializing in addressing unwanted eating behaviors and emotional well-being. Through her coaching program, Sherry provides tools to shift from "protection mode" to "safety mode," focusing on the interplay between physiology, emotions, and eating patterns. Her approach emphasizes understanding the root causes of eating disorders, recognizing the importance of mental health, and creating a supportive community. In this enlightening minisode, Sherry uncovers the psychology behind emotional eating and how it ties to our nervous system states. With genuine warmth and expertise, Sherry explores the critical difference between "protection mode" and "safety mode," illustrating not only their roles in our eating behaviors but their broader implications on health and wellbeing. The discussion is a deep dive into how gratitude can bridge the gap between where we stand emotionally and where we wish to be, especially in relation to food. Sherry shares a personal perspective, delving into the emotional significance of a lost water tumbler and its unexpected return, as a segue into the concept of releasing control to invite positive change. She then seamlessly translates this experience into the realm of eating behaviors, emphasizing that true transformation begins not with external metrics like weight or BMI, but with how we actually feel—our "health as a feeling." Some part of the minisode elaborates on the shifts required within our nervous system to foster a healthy relationship with food, unraveling how our thoughts influence our biochemical state and, ultimately, our eating patterns.
