Episode 17: How to stop feeling out of control around food
In today’s episode, we’re diving into cravings, or as I prefer to call them "urges."
I often hear from clients who love the freedom of my "Perfect Gauge" method. They are relearning how to eat according to their body's signals, but struggle when strong urges to eat hit out of nowhere.
They know they’re not hungry, but the craving feels overwhelming.
Sound familiar?
We’ll explore what urges really are, why they happen and how they’re just how our brains work (hello, dopamine!).
You’ll learn how ultra-processed foods, like sugary snacks and salty chips, trigger you to eat when you're not hungry and keep eating—even when you’re full.
And that urges are just feelings, not commands.
Again I discuss the powerful strategy of "urge surfing," where instead of reacting to or resisting your cravings, you learn to sit with them and watch them pass.
It’s a skill you can practice and build over time.
This powerful approach is how you can regain control over your eating habits and stop feeling at the mercy of food cravings.
