Midlife Pressure and the Oatmeal That Almost Killed Me

from The Spencer Mark Podcast · host Spencer Mark

I used to make a pot of oatmeal every morning that was over 5,000 calories. I'd hunch over it, eat as fast as possible, and be hungry an hour later.This wasn't about food. It was about pressure.In this video I talk about what it looked like when I was using food to escape the stress of midlife, and what changed when I learned the difference between escape and release.If you're a man who's capable in every other area of life but loses control around food, this might land for you.Work with me: https://calendly.com/hello-spencermarkcoaching/30min
