You're Not Hungry—You're Addicted | Jasmine Flynn Exposes Food Addiction

from Powerfully Broken · host Barbara L Parker MA, LPCC-S, CEO

Your body might be begging for help, and the signal isn’t always pain, it’s fatigue, cravings, and that heavy “why do I feel like this?” fog. We’re joined by Jasmine Flynn for a real, practical conversation about how food impacts energy, emotions, and the daily habits that shape mental health. We talk about the personal breaking point that pushes many of us to finally change, and why ultra-processed comfort food can feel soothing in the moment while slowly draining you over time.We also clear up the labels people argue about online. Jasmine explains the difference between vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian in plain language, and why many people aren’t “fake,” they’re just not educated on what the words mean. From there we get into plant-based staples that make the transition easier, especially mushrooms as a satisfying meat substitute and “superfood” option, with examples like portobello, lion’s mane, oyster mushrooms, and shiitake.Then we go deeper into fasting, meal timing, and the cultural myth that everyone needs three meals a day. We talk about “break fast,” listening to your body instead of the clock, and the provocative idea that “the shakes” can look more like withdrawal than true hunger. We also tackle healthy eating on a budget, kids and sugar, and realistic grocery strategies including a green smoothie routine with dandelion greens, ginger, cucumber, and chayote squash that sometimes requires shopping beyond the usual stores.If you’ve ever felt trapped in cravings or overwhelmed by “perfect diet” rules, this conversation is for you.

In the film, she asks how it is possible that so many workers at Disneyland, aka “the happiest place on earth,” can’t afford life's basic necessities, even when they work full time. For the fourth season of All Ears, Abigail poses that question to people who are doing the most Disney thing of all–using their imaginations–in this case to rethink capitalism. She talks with business leaders, union organizers, and economists to learn how they would fix our broken economy. Explicit The Most Important Question Important, Not Important You already know things are broken. You read the news, you listen to the analysis, you've got the outrage. What you don't have is a plan.The Most Important Question — 6x Webby-nominated, 2x Signal Award-nominated — is a weekly conversation with one person who stopped asking "what can I do?" and went and found out. Not pundits. Not commentators. The scientists, doctors, nurses, journalists, farmers, activists, and policymakers who are doing the actual work on the frontlines of climate, public health, democracy, AI, food, water, medicine, and justice.Host Quinn Emmett goes deep with each of them — the infectious disease doctor building new outbreak surveillance tools, the investigative journalist who traced how forever chemicals got into 97% of our blood, the economist building emergency lifeboats for foreign aid that got axed overnight, one of the greatest writers alive reckoning with the history we were never taught — and every conversation ends with something nobody else gives Explicit
