You Can Lose Weight Without Losing Yourself with Author Jane McGuinness

Send us Fan MailThe pantry is rarely the real problem. When stress hits, when grief stays unspoken, or when divorce shakes your sense of safety, food can become the fastest way to numb, soothe, or distract. I’m joined by Jane McGuinness, former psychotherapist and author of Always Hungry, to talk about emotional eating with a level of honesty that cuts through diet noise and gets to the root.Jane shares the pivotal moment after the birth of her third child that pushed her to heal her disordered relationship with food, not just “lose weight.” We dig into why crash diets and quick fixes backfire, how nervous system dysregulation can shut down interoceptive awareness, and what it looks like to rebuild trust with your body through baby steps. We also talk grounding exercises, diaphragmatic breathing, meditation, walking, yoga, and why eating real, whole foods makes long-term change easier than living in restriction. I share my own health journey around cravings, hormones, and faith, plus how habit stacking (Atomic Habits style) helps make meditation and movement more consistent, especially with ADHD. If you’re looking for emotional eating help, mindful eating tools, nervous system regulation practices, and a more compassionate approach to sustainable weight loss, this conversation is for you.Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s struggling, and leave a review so more people can find the show.To purchase Jane’s book, Always Hungry, click on the link here: https://www.janemcguinnesstheauthor.com/Support the showTo download a free chapter of host Sylvia Worsham's bestselling book, In Faith, I Thrive: Finding Joy Through God's Masterplan, purchase any of her products, or book a call with her, visit her website at www.sylviaworsham.com
